per cent since March /, according to
Richard Drake, manager of the de
partment. Mr.. Drake believes that the
efforts being put forth by Wroteir
Hundley in providing the best of SER
vice to patrons is being appreciated
fully by Dodge Brothers owners. The
business of the service end, he says,
has increased to such an extent. that
additional floor space is now absolute
ly necessary.
To illustrate the efficiency with
which the Wroten- Hundley service de-
partment operates, Richard Drake,
service manager, cites a recent incl
dent where six car owners were waited
on in the same number OF minutes, a
record which he believes has never
been equalled in Il San Antonio auto
mobile service station. 1t is one OF
the rules of the department, he says.
never to allow n customer wait sew
eral minutes before being approached.
The minute the. car owner enter the
shop, he adds, courteous attendant
steps up and inquiries what is de-
sired.
Richard Drake is not the only
Wroten-Hundley executive claiming
a record for his department. Another
such executive is c. b. Hanavan, man.
ager of the used car department, who
calls attention to the fact that during
the first fifteen days of August. his
department sold 40 used cars, setting
new record. Customer satisfaction
is responsible for this record, he says.
Since the introduction of the i'm
proved Dodge Brothers models. the
Wroten-Hundlcy Motor company has
received orders for more than 80 ears,
according to Mitchell Davis. popular
| Wroten-Hundlcy salesman. The num-
erous improvements and refinements
Incorporated in the new models. Davis
says. appeal greatly to discriminating
motorists.
Both George 'Wroten and Will G
Hundley are optimistic over the pros
poets for fall business. With new and
improved Dodge Brothers models out
they see a new sales record. Already
sales for the first half of 1928 hav,
far surpassed sales during n similar
period last year, these officials say.

Your boy must come to a knowl-

his business must contribute to
that well-being.

Rather than finish his schooling

We all laughed with varying
emotions. Mine was relief. But
Rosa cried:
Good night. And what Raj

came to talk-how you say-over

"Raffaelor' repeated Jim in an
annoyed tone as the door closed
behind our guests. At the word
and his manner felt a surge of
uneasiness.
Jim had not been jealous of
Ralph because of me. Could it be
that he was jealous of Ralph be-
cause of Rosa?
During the late afternoon of
the day after Rosa and Ralph
Lacy dined with us so informally,
Jim telephoned me at the office
and asked me if I'd run along
with him at once if he stopped for
me in a taxi.
Got to start off on a trip
right away, honey" he said.
And I'm helpless about picking
shirts and the ties to match.

piled:
Dearest, we can count on each

When Jim returned he had
Ralph Lacy with him. Mr.. Lacy

when he saw a lonely soul out

hailed him with one hand while
signalling with the other for tire

But took up my tasks of pre-
pairing the meal with abruptness
and an embarrassing conscious
ness that I'd called Mr.. Lacy by
his first name. Nor did my own
feelings of a queer let down of
dignity chance when I heard Rosa
calling him: 'Raffaelo'' all
through dinner. She was very an
noying in her eagerness to impress
Mr.. Lacy and to keep Jim from
realizing what she was doing.
Mr.. Lacy was puzzled at the way
Rosa darted about pecking at one
subject and fitting to another
like the humming- bird of which
she's always reminded me. But
when Rosa got up to leave he was
prompt in his chivalrous offer to
see her home.

SOCIAL SYMPATHY


boy with an idea of how tedious
the progress of society must be,
of how long it must have taken
man to get where he is, of how
the masses have all had part in
the worlds achievements, of how
necessarily it is to keep in touch
with the common crowd, of how
necessary it is to keep in touch
are the millions who labor and
sweat and produce the material
goods and the comforts of every
day existence, of how inspiring it
is to feel a sense of belonging to
this great industrial human fam
lily?
Now, you see, dear parent, that
the very issues of life and progress
are in your keeping, and you must
be more concerned about passing
the ideals of social sympathy on as
a heritage to your child than
about leaving him a mere mass of
material wealth.

ADVICE TO LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax.

; THEORETICALLY there is no
barrier. In. fact, there is
none 1 am willing to recognize,
but the world is not the ideal and
peace-loving place I would like
it to be, SO 1 have to acknowl-
edge that these things do not al
ways work out ideally. If re-
ligion were really the love and
knowledge of God and the Son
He sent to show us the way to
life, then creeds couldn't start
enmities and bitterness. But we
stress the dogma and forget the
Creator we should be honoring.
If you and this young man have
real religion-real love in your
hearts, and fine minds and souls,
then your racial and doctrinal
differences cannot matter. But
this is your own individual prob
lem and your solution depends on
your fitness to meet it.

taking her hand in his, "this
dreadful old guardian of yours is
going to take such good care 2f
you and your money that you
need not be a bit afraid of ever

If a disagreeable duty had to
be done, Donald Muir was not the
man to hesitate to do it.
Therefore, matters happened
within the next few weeks with
such rapidity as to surprise wini-
fred Scott.
First of all, Donald advised her
to- set about Immediately looking
at apartments. The sooner she
moved into smaller quarters, the
sooner would her expenses de:

might be sold any day.

ing in her interest in apartment
hunting. 1t was a new expert
ence to her.
Donald insisted that Mrs. Bates
accompany her on these expedi-
tons, but It was he who made
out the list of places at which
she might care to look.
"You select several that YOU
like, then / will go with you
later and inspect them" he said.
She did not resent his doing
this-but she hoped that he would
let her have such a home as
she desired. She had heard
that there were beautiful apart
ments on Park avenue. She
suggested that one of these might
serve her purpose.
Her guardian shook his head.
mo, my dear-they cost three
or four times as much as you
can afford to pay. 1 am sure
you can find something smaller,
less ornate, and yet pretty,
somewhere else"
She swallowed her disappoint-
ment and meekly took the list he
handed to her. After several
days Of home-hunting, she selected
an apartment on a corner of River
side Drive, and teIephoned Donald
Of It.
