 In other words his own poor judg- ment in buying had nothing to do with itl
 Just why is it that the average busi- ness man considers that he can spend up to $5,000 for his automobile in the same way that he would pick a package out of grab bag at a country fair?
 Why is it that he will maintain a department in his own business to pur- chase goods for his business needs and then figure that the automobile industry has discovered way to ab- solutely equalize values in merchan- disc?
 His purchasing department conducts rigid investigation of values from all of the angles which enter into it, If there wasn't a difference certainly he would not pay men salaries to buy for him.
 But the minute he steps out to buy his automobile he will disregard all of the knowledge, which years of business experience have taught him--perhaps he has even paid hard cash for the knowledge-and buy his automobile with no investigation of values.
 This writer has great faith in the automotive industry. He believes it is one of the most wonderful and useful industries in existence for it is a part of every other industry-or a help to every other.
 But to say that all automobiles de liver the same dollar for dollar value

SPRING LATE, BUT
 BUSINESS GOOD
Kay Says Quality In Tires Makes Values As In
 All Things

"Soring may be late this year, but business is not" says Roy Kay, tire department manager at Mccormack Brothers.
 According to Roy, more standard brand, high grade tires will be sold this year than ever before. The off, brand tire of questionable quality is fast fading out of the picture, and mo- torists who have heretofore used this kind of tire have learned through ex- perience that it pays to buy quality in tires as in other merchandise. The sale of Firestone and Oldfield tires by Mccormack Brothers tire department has increased in volume each month. The Firestone line of tires enjoys an snviable reputation as one of the pic neer lines in the industry.
 The great Firestone factories have always produced high grade tires and have maintained from the first that c motor car owner would profit in the long run by buying only the best tires available, provided the price was with in reason. The enormous production of the Firestone tire has enabled the factory to produce a line of tires and tubes of superior quality at price no higher than that of other good lines. This fact has led to Firestones prorni- hence in the industry and Is probably accountable for the fact that the Fire stone tire is more widely known and used than any other tire on the market,

confidence of the person with whom you are dealing.
 This reserve exists in everyone, re- gardless of culture or lack of it.
 "There are few real failures," Miss Mcguire declares. Most people think the homeless and the jobless are fail ures. But they are necessarily so. The failure is a person who cannot earn his own living, who cannot take his place in society.
 "Many so-called failures are people who will do anything and can do almost nothing we'll. We try to find what they would enjoy doing and put them to work at that. This is true of the teach CT as it is of the thinker"
 Among most people, Miss Mcguire says, there is belief that DO construc- tive change can be made in the life of a person 36 years old or older. As a mat ter of fact, much of the work of the Joint Application bureau benefits men between 35 and 40.
 Many men who have been floaters' that is, men who change jobs con tinually-think they can not hold them. selves down to one position for any length of time. They believe they are not dependable. But when put under supervision they do not have to exer- else their own will power. After stick ing under directions, they learn that they can stick of their own free will '

to the purchaser everything considered; |; would be to state an untruth. This is so self-evident that it needs no ampli- fication.
 If it is self-evident, then why should the individual purchaser blame the in- dustry itself, because it has been un- able to accomplish the impossible. Un- til all the clements which enter into finished products of different makes are absolutely capitalized the products themselves will be unequal.
 Until this happens-and 1t never will the buyer must use discretion in buying. If he doesn't do so he has himself to blame-no one else.
 The fact remains that, in each price class, the purchaser has a choice of good automobile values. Each car is slightly different in lines, measure ments--but each is a good buy.
 On the other hand each price class has cars which are not good buys, for one reason or another. Isn't that same thing true of any kind of merchandise under the sun?
 Trouble is everyone thinks the auto mobile business is different-when it isn't. The basis of buying and selling is fundamental and the automobile hasn't changed it.
 It is too much to expect a man to admit publicly that he used poor judg- ment in buying-anything. But if he will admit it to himself-privately and search out the reason--it will keep him from making the same mistake twice.

BARRIE REVEALS
 ANCIENT SECRET
Tells School Girls How He Lost His Smile
 In Youth

Miss l.. K. Barrie, niece of Sir James Barrie, is headmistress of Wal lasey high school in Wallasey, England. She recently asked her famous uncle to address the girls of the school, says New York Tribune. |,
 Sir James recalled that when his niece was only one year old he in troduced her to great man. "The scene was a pleasant Scottish town" he said, "and the great man was pass ing at the end of our road. whipped her up in my arms and ran with her to the gate in order that she might be able to say in after years that she had once seen Thomas Caryle.

WHAT IS VALUE
 OF MOTOR CAR?

One of the most interesting studies, from the standpoint of the student of cause and effect, is the attitude of the average business man about the auto- motive industry. F Not long ago three men were having lunch together in Portland, Ore. One was the managing editor of news paper-owner of a well known and popular automobile which retails in the $1 900 class.
 The second man was the owner of an automobile, which retailed at the time he bought it for $3,600. Both automobiles were a year old.
 The third man was an automobile merchant.
 During the conversation the question of worth of their old cars was put up to the automobile merchant by the other two.
 Well" he replied, "I would give you more for your $1,000 car today than I would give John, here, for his s, 3,600 car"
 Whereupon John hit the ceiling!
 And the peculiar part of it was and this is the interesting study-that he cussed out the entire automobile in dustry because hs car, costing $3.600 a year ago, was not worth as much on the

Unless you are fully acquainted with every clause in your insurance policies you cannot be sure you gre protected. Take liability insurance for instance. Some policies have clauses that require you to write to the company within . certain time and if you do not do 1t, the company can crawl out of paying the claim.
 An insurance man of nationwide fame told me recently that an insuring company can get out of paying three fourths of its claims if it wants to be- cause of some technical error on the part of the policy holder. There are some companies that issue insurance policies when they are not able to pay claims. Others have clause in the document compelling the policy holder to pay the claim first and then allow the company to reimburse him-maybe.
 There are too many of these cut rate companies, clubs, associations, all too ready to take your money but not very anxious to give you the desired protection. The companies that you should not insure in are known as reciprocals and insurance exchanges. In New York state such companies are not allowed to operate and that ought to be hint enough to prospective clients.
 Remember that in insurance as well as everything else, you get what you

FINDS FAILURE IS DURABLE MALADY Miss Maguire's Task Is Finding Work For
 Misfits

If you are trying to injurs person you look for his weak spot, but if you are trying to help him you must find his strong spot. Everyone has a strong spot, writes Margery Rex in the New York Journal.
 The valuable possession is what Miss Mary Mcguire calls "reserve." After 10 years of social service work Miss Mcguire has decided that the failure can always be helped when this hid- den strength is found and fostered. Miss Mcguire, now superintendent of the joint application bureau of New York, has helped thousands through her be- lief that failure, like other ailments, is curable.
 '"This reserve can be love of family, religion, some study or hobby, count less other things" says Miss Mcguire. "When you have found this you have the key, for then you have gained the
