 Like all great advances in the in- dustrial arts, it is '.so simple in opera tion, it is a wonder it wasn't thought of before," particularly since, it's need has been growing, year by year,. ever since automobiles were made.
 Many people, all of the time, and most people, part of the time, want an open car--to bring to their riding the fresh ,crispness of the country. air, and a free and untrammeled associa- tion with the great outdoors.
 Yet for these same people, the snug comfort of the closed car, shutting out the storm and the wind and the cold, has been at times necessity.

FOOT ON CLUTCH
 WILL WEAR COLLAR

The clutch collar will wear and be- come very noisy if the feet of motorist are kept on the clutch and brake pedals all the time he is driving This is q very had habit, as it also tempts the drlver to slip the clutch when slowing aown, instead of changing to lower gear. If inc clutch is constantly slipped in this way. the clutch plates or faces wear very rapidly and soon are liable to cause the brakes to drag. Keep tlie feet off. these pedals, but have them in such a position that the pedals caii be reached instantly.

JANfMING BRAKES CAUSES
 LOI TING

When bringing the car to a stop, do not jam on the brakes all of a sud den. Begin reducing the speed 50 feet or more from the point, and simply roll up and stop with final and gentle ap- plication of the brakes. Always apply the brakes and then release them, in- stead of holding them there.

Stung Again!

Sung Again! am sitting in a chair again my leg
 encased in splints, And the pain of knitting bones is most
 intense. And every every poignant agony is reminiscent That moment when hurtled through
 the fence. I can see the road ahead again, that lay
 so smooth and clear, Inviting me to speed 'er up a bit; can see the woods and meadow lands
 that border either side, I can see the rocks and missiles where
 hit. The birds were singing merrily, the sun was shining bright, And my little car was running like a
 top; And the bees, the busy little bees, were
 gathering their sweets. But certain war2like bumble-bee was
 NOT. He flew in through the windshield and
 disappeared from sight, And l thought the wind had forced
 him out tie side; ;. But within a moment afterward I
 found that I had erred, His sticking" power was not to be
 denied. I'd been sitting slightly forward and I slid back on the seat, Expecting thus to gain a welcome
 rest; Rut the bee resented crowding, as
 promptly understood -~ By the potent way in which his point
 was pressed. His fiery javelin met me where I should
 have met the seat, My hands, unbidden, sought to give
 protection The automobile, uncontrolled, plunged
 headlong in the ditch, And I continued in the same direc-
 tion. But now I'm sitting up again, and
 though I'm stiff and sore, IT, never have that fate again to
 fear; For besides a windshild-wiper and
 bumper on the front, I'm going to have a stop-light at my rear.

CHAPTER 1e

a H
 had never thwarted Natalie in any
 of her plans but when I saw how she
 had decided on plans for our summer
 without consulting me, concluded it
 was high time asserted myself. Then
 too disliked the thought of spending
 the summer vacation in q fashionable place. Before Uncle had suggested a cottage in, the country had determined to rough it if Natalie were willing--to
 go somewhere in the woods and rest,
 wear old clothes, forget society.
 }. But how much better to take a house
 in the country for the entire season.
 Three months or more of quiet coun- try life would set me up, make n new
 man of me physically and mentally. With. the motor uncle had promised we
 would be independent, could roam
 about country roads, picnic, etc. I was immensely pleased with the pros pect. yet would look about hit before men ntioned it to Natalie. If could find an attractive place, small but convenient would be prepared to sweep aside some of the objections she might make.
 never was sure of Natalie, never certain what would please, what annoy her. At first had delighted in her elusiveness, the thought that I would tneyer know boredom, but this bafflins quality was beginning to pail on me. I
 longed to know how she felt, what she
 would do, whether a suggestion would
 be acted upon or she would do just the Opposite-as often happened. s | A thought was in my mind-a hope, unbelievably aIluring. Suppose. we | went to the country and it should be the means of drawing Natalie and me
 closely together, Never had I2been
 able to feel close to her, not even when we were first married, and now
 she seemed to be getting farther, and farther away all the time. Perhaps if skc once tasted the peace of a quiet
 summer with me, just we two alone, her restlessness, her love of excitement
 would leave her. Why in the two years we had been. married l could
 count on the fingers Of one hand the days we had spent entirely alone after we returned from our honeymoon.
 Natalie's craving for excitement, her restlessness had at first seemed but the natural desire of a small town girl to know the gaiety of city life, to be- come acquainted with her new environ
 ment, so I had willingly accompanied her wherever she wished to go, even
 planting to show her everything of in-
 terest. But long ago had come to the conclusion that her avidity for pleasure was slowly but surely making havoc of our life together, preventing |fhe quiet, intimacy that a happy mar riage demands for stability.
 When tried to explain. this to her, talked sefieQsiy of our future, she

canary now, but somehow it doesn't sing as the other one did. Perhaps it knows that it lives in a cage which was inhabited by bird that died of neglect-from the want of little at- tentions."
 We women, too, die from the want of these little attentions What l mean, of course. is that we suffer pain which is akin to death when we do not receive them. We are wom- en. We have aspirations of the heart and mind which are peculiar to us as species. But men are-just men. They do not understand everything about us. Some times they do not understand how vital little attentions are: and so, for them, I tell the story of the canary.
 There are books in running brooks and sermons in stones. I found a ser mon in a canary cage.
 We sing or we sigh; We live or we die-like canaries.

larger number of divorce cases than
usual, but this is merely because
under the new ruling, all divorce cases
must be put on the calendar instead
of being placed before the court dur
