THE BUSINESS GIRLS
THE BUSINESS GIRLS of Kenn

L wick have long been known as
having the best organized body of
workers in this city. They never
shirk, nor dodge responsibilities, nor
do they cease their efforts when fac
ed by insurmountable difficulties. A
fine example of courage and cooper
alton was given by these young wo-
men when they attempted to put over
the Chautauqua. The girls did their
best, and tho they didn't quite win
their goal, they again won the respect
of the whole community by their dis
play of splendid energy and team
work.

Home Nursing
BY N. JESSIE LEiTcH

A WATCH AND A TUMBLER
The woman who had been sick in
bed for more than three months closed
her eyes determinedly and tried-for
the fiftieth time-to go to sleep.
The house was very quiet!
In the room next door the trained
nurse slept, because the patient had
been graduated from two nurses to one.
The doctor said that night nurse was
no longer necessary, so the day nurse
was alone. She had bathed her pa
tient and rubbed her with fragrant To-
ton, followed this with a gentle body
massage, slipped a nightgown of softest
muslin over her head, brushed and
braided her hair in satin plaits, adj
justed pillows, opened windows, lowered
shades and placed water and the bell
close to the convalescent's bed. Finally.
when she retired herself, she left her
door open that she might hear the
slightest noise in her patients room. 1t
was all very efficient and very tiresome,
Mrs. Whaleh sighed, moved her head
little on the pillow, wriggled her feet,
pushed the hot water bottle aside i'm
patiently and wished with all her heart
that the nurse had turned out the night
light. Like soft-pinkish rose, it
burned on the dresser across the room,
filling the quiet room with the faintest
tinge of roseate hue--restful, but an
noying, nevertheless.
She would ring and have the nurse
put out the lamp. She did.
Obediently she suffered her pillows
to be readNsted, took a sip of water,
accepted handkerchief that smelled
family of cologne, and submitted to hav-
ing her head gently massaged by cool,
capable fingers. But still sleep refused
to come.
The nurse. glanced around the room
like general surveying battlefield.
There must be some mechanical reason
for her patients restlessness. Certainly
there was no physicafreason, both pulse
and temperature were normal, the pa
tient was as comfortable as it was pos
sible to make her.
Then the nurse stood still, her head
on one side with a comical gesture.
"It's your watch" she said. S.It
sounds like grandfather's clock tick
ing when you are all alone in a silent
house at night-the only person awake"
Nonsense" said Mrs. Whalen. "Its
just my own silly, stupid nerves."
II think it's your WATCH" said the
nurse. when ] was i'll last year the
same thing happened to me one night,
so l know"
She turned clean tumbler down over
the little gold watch that was ticking
away on the bedside table.
The two women smiled at each other
1t seemed such little foolish thing to
keep one awake-the tick of a watch.
Yet, after the nurse had gone back
to bed, Mrs. Whalen lay still and lis
tened. Then her face relaxed. She, felt
suddenly better. The maddening pre-
cision of the tick, tick, ticking while
the rest of the family slept and she
alone lay awake was gone, The room
was so still that like a gentle hand
the hushed dark closed her tired eyelids

On Again. Off AGAIN

A new thought gaining Roadway
in motor circles calls for the aboli
ton of brakes on the wheels. All
braking force would be applied to
drums attached to the propeller
shaft directly aft of the transmits
sion, the mechanism operated either
by hydraulic pressure or compressed
air. Mechanically operated propel-
Tor shaft brakes are being used to
some extent, but brakes on the rear
wheels are Invariably used for the
supplementary bral3e system. An
axiom of applying brakes is that the
clutch should be left engaged until
the car has almost come to a stop.
Advocates of the propeller shaft
trend claim that this is an admis
sion of the advantage, perhaps
necessity, of applying the braking
force where the action of the diff
ferential can definitely obviate in
equality of wheel deceleration. At
least this viewoint is interesting,
for the industry in general has re-
Gently applied itself to putting more
brakes than ever on the wheels.

Flat Rates for
Repair Charges

Il firmly believe in the fiat rate
method of charging for automotive
service and ii is the method used in
our instruction service station" says
Arthur G.. Zeller. President or the
Michigan State Automobile School.
Detroit.
This system is popular with the
motoring public as the car owner
desiring repairs knows In advance
just what he will have to pay for the
job when il is ready.
In order to succeed with fiat rate
prices il is necessary TO have proper
equipment as well as mechanics who
have been thoroughly trained in
their work. The service station must
keep a very accurate set OF records
in order to work out flat rate
schedule. OF course the Nat rate Is
up to the public. If the motorists
of America insist upon IT. eventually
most service stations Will come To
the fiat rate.
unfortunately tho public does not
always demand the things best for
them. but i'm the matter of fat rates
for automotive service they seem to
be demanding II more every day"

Two Parking Pointers

When parking the car head first
uphill most drivers cut the front
wheels so that if the car should start
coasting backwards the right front
one would strike the curb. This,
they believe, is ample precaution.
But suppose that bump against the
curb were sufficient to knock the
wheel straight again? This is a
possibility which more experienced
drivers get around by parking the
car with the wheels cut in the OPP
posite direction. In this way
should the car go free, the right
rear wheel will strike the curb.
And as this would not yield to the
curb the car would be checked no
matter what position the steering
wheels should take after the jar.
Watch the party who stands be-
side the car when you park it. He
may notice the packages scattered
about the car, an overcOat or any
other article of value-and have de-
signs on it. But in any event re-
turn to the car, after having left it
moment or two. and pretend to be
making sure that you locked the car
itself. The package most sidewalk
thieves prefer is the car.

chairman Of the Senate District
committee introduced as set of
recommendations for traffic regula-
ton in the District OF Columbia
which, while constructive and APP
parent1y urgently needed in the
particular locality. has been widely
discussed in many sections OF the
country as document belonging to
the era of motoring in vogue five or
ten years ago. In some sections the
specific recommendation appear to
the native motorists as very pro-
gressiye. In others 1t is viewed as
last years model" All of which is
a rather good lesson for many
super -optimists who imagine that
uniformity of motor car regulation
IL merely a matter of saying Lets
CO."
When one travels around the
country and observes the variety of
motor vehicle laws it is at once ap-
parent that this variation cannot be
suddenly eliminated without just as
sudden elimination of the reasons
for such variations. Some people
will never appreciate the fact that
the streets of Santa Barbara aren't
an exact duplicate of those of Au-
gukta, Maine. Every locality has its
peculiar needs in the way OF trafnc
regulation and until the experts can
devise q set of regulations that will
cover every need Of every locality
uniformity must ever remain a topic
for parlOr conversation.
Even IL it were possible to get a
set of rules that would cover the
needs of New York City as well as
Ashtabula both cities would find
their statute books cluttered up with
lot of regulation that should not
apply. Inventive genius will doubt
less find way out of all this. but
the Washington recommendation Is
food for thought. 1t reflects the
magnitude of the problem.
