Automobiles still Ire proving
that motoring makes difference.
Selfishness used to b very de-
plorabIe thing, and fe the most
part stili is. But,one IAN be self
fish in motoring and ssi be q de-
sirabIe motor citizen.
1t has been discovered that even
the motorist who tIinks most Of
his own safety is one 4 the most
helpful drivers on the lrpad.
It Is quite surprising to note
that the car owners who treat
themselves to the grestest num-
Der Of luxuries automatically raise
the standards Of motoring and Of
safety.
The Washington 1u.omotive
Trade Association took a typical
case and found the 0V1er had
made every possible provision
for his own comfort AID safety.
He had bought, TO stat with, q
new and better car. He had
equipped 1t with spring control
devices, d fire extnguisher,
safety lights, strong bImpers. g
spare horn, two automatic wind
shield wipers and numeDHB other
accessories. 1t was fond that
while he sat In the lap luxury
and safety, others drivers who
motored along the same Dad with
him felt sense Of secNity.
They felt obliged to aim to
purchase similar euuipmest, or at
least to compensate for the ma
tural shortcomings Of tie cars
equipment with q little mEe skill
full driving. They felt hat the
owner with the comforts yas set
ting the pace, and in aiming to
follow him they gave more
thought; to those matters which
tend to raise the level ofowner.

SeIfishness isn't always he un-
desirable thing it's CRACKED up
to be. Sometimes one is Inclined
to think that it's not wanting
comforts and conveniences that
encourages other drivers I'd be
shift1ess and unthinking.

New STYLES In Bans

1t IS becoming quite the fashion
for those in authority in our colleges
to prohibit something. Automo-
biles are most frequently the targets
for faculty bans.
To be really up to date, a college
should have a set of ''Don'ts". nice
ly framed, with one prohibiting auto
mobiles at the head
College boys are supposed to be
different from other boys, anyway.
1t is not presumed that they enjoy
riding around in automobiles like
their more fortunate friends who
don't have TO go to college or their
dads at home, who haven't walked
to the office since their college sons
began to toddle
But they ride around in automo-
biles and neglect their studies, say
the defenders of the auto ban at an
institution. And that's another
story.
Colleges are supposed to have
fixed standards Of scholarship, and
they should be high enough so that
the student. in coming up to the
standard, will acquire some know
ledge
When students fail to meet the
college requirements, either due to
riding in automobiles or for some
other reason they should be dis
missed, of course.

and if they don't ccme up to plans

The habit of college trustees and

try. Most laws are to prohibit or

Hitting On All Four

There are four parts to every business and
each one is worthy of honest thought and consid-
Grafton
The first part is the merchandise having
what people want, when they want it, how they
want it and where they want it.
The second part is sound financing.
The third is service-handlng merchandise
and customers
The fourth part is getting customers for the
merchandise.
Without the fourth part the other three are
Of no value
The best merchandise in the world is no
good if nobody buys it.
The best service in the world accomplishes
nothing if there is no one to be served.
It is only when you have people to do business
with that you have real business
Advertising creates this link. It is at least
quarter Of every business program With
out it. the other three-quarters are wasted
effort
To try to conduct business without adj
'ertlsing is like trying to run an automobile
up hill on three cylinders.
Maybe it will make it-and again maybe
it won't.
Business Must Use All The Power It Has To
Deliver The Best Results Obtainable.
