The Word to Jake

midable salon ps.rlors, fashionable a
generation ago. 1t was empty, ex-
cept for a rug, a weathered oak
table, half a dozen chairs and in
the far corner, piano in highly
polished walnut.
Chickie came running down the
stairs, expecting to see Mary or,
perhaps, her mother. Loud, jazzy
music struck blithely into the hall.
Three girls in uniform were sitting
at the piano singing with noisy
exuberance.
In the center Of the room, regard
ing them with a patronizing disdain
was a striking figure in a mannish
suit of dark material, gray gloves,
gray suede pumps and a small hat
of black and silver. This hat fitted
close about a clear-cut, aggressive
face, olive skinned and set-a wom-
an nearing so, yet whose high
shoulders and compact flesh dis
counted age.
She advanced swiftly az Chickie
entered, both nervous and de-
termined: us this Miss Bryce? I
would like to speak with you. I
am Mrs. Burdell. No doubt, you
have heard of me-"

She felt weak, with a curious,
warm tingling all along her skin.
She walked along, keeping her head
high. A bit of stone got under her
foot. She sent it flying with a furi-
Gus squirt down the hill.
Her fists were doubled and the
nails, driving cruelty against her
palms.
It was S o'clock. At this hour
David came to the hospital on his
visit. 1t made her hot merely to
think Of him-to see his lean, vital
face in her thoughts.
She wondered suddenly why his
aunt was in such a hurry; why'she
had stopped three blocks from the
hospital.
She had promised to meet him
to go for a short drive with him.
With a white, flaming anger she
FASTENED her steps now. She would
certainly go. She certainly would.
But she turned back and went
to the little park and sat long
while on the green bench. She sat
there with her hands clasped-look-

shivering over the blades.
Suddenly out of all the interview

Lessons From Accidents.

Now and again a skidding accident
teaches a new lesson in addition to
the old one about the ounce of pre-
This was clearly illustrated in a re-
cent upset.
The motorist had been driving over
an extremely level portion of the
country with little traffic to bother
him and with virtually no need for
coming to a definite stop. 1t was
wet underfoot, but there was little
about the general conditions to sug-
gest necessity for proceeding with
more than usual caution.
Once or twice he had occasion to
slow down at an intersecting road or
when awaiting an opportunity to
overtake a slowly moving vehicle.
He used the brakes very little. And,
as a matter of fact, that was the
trouble When he finally did have to
bring the car to sudden halt he
found that one of the rear brake
bands did not hold tightly at all The
other wheel locked. 1t surprised him
so that he was not quick enough in
releasing the brakes nor to offset the
skid by steering in the direction in
which the car was sliding.
1t was the element of surprise that
unnerved him. Had he made a few
test stops en- route he would have
discovered that his brakes were out
of adjustment, and he probably would
have known how to handle the stu
alton when a real stop was necessary.

Not Being Cheated.

These gasoline gauges on the in
strument board are causing some
owners a lot of unnecessary worry
One owner thought he was being
cheated because whenever he bought
five gallons of gas as the gauge
dropped to Five" the addition of new
fuel seldom brought the gauge up to
Ten" He figured that five gallons
added to FIVE should register more
than nine, and certainly seemed jus
titled in suspecting that something
was wrong.
But such is the case with new
accessories until one learns how they
work and how to use them. just
because the gauge read Five" was
no reason to suppose that there was
a full supply of five gallons in the
tank. Thus, the first half gallon
added was probably required to bring
the gauge to a full five. The full five
added naturally brought the gauge to
a position just a trifie beyond Nine.

these mild exhortations so that he

More Truth Than Gas.

The people who do the passing in
driving, as in bridge, seldom make
any gains.
Owners in doubt as to the advis-
ability of installing a rear bumper
will do well to remember that alls
we'll that ends well.

Worth Remembering.

There will be more "shimmy" to the
front wheels with balloon tires il they
are underinf1ated when driving over
rough roads, just as "shimmy" in
creases with overinflation. When the
tires yield too generously to road
inequalities they offer too much
drag. The result is that one wheel or
the other is always slowing down,
thus producing the annoying wabble.
Your carburetor should be ad-
justed so as to give the best results
for the leanest mixture, otherwise
you may be sacrificing as much as
so per cent of your possible gas
mileage. The customary thing is to
stop adjusting the carburetor when

Did You Know

That it's cold rather than heat that
encourages the collection of carbon
in the cylinders? Most motorists
seem to be under the impression that
the long, hot run is the carbon
breeder, whereas the guilty party is
the short run when the engine is
burning more fuel than it would
normally need, thus leaving more resi-
due.
That these so-called return oil
leads. or holes. under the lower ring
of certain types of pistons are of
little value as piston pin oilers as
compared with their function of low
ering the oil pressure? The name is
somewhat misleading, for while these
holes allow the piston to scrape off
some of the excess oil on the cylin-
der wall and return it to the crank
case by way of the piston pin they
are chiefly valuable as a means of
reducing oil pressure to a point where
it will not be so likely to force past
the rings and up into the cylinder.

Jazz Driver Passing.

Jazz driving Is going the way OF
hobbed hair and the hip pocket flask
according TO those who are observing
the average motorist.
This is pleasant news. 1t means
that woman drivers will enjoy the
advantages of much more respect
from man drivers. Insurance rates
should go lower eventually. And
there should be more room in the hos
pitals for people who deserve the best
of care.
Jazz drivers thought they could get
kick out of one-finger driving, one

the engine seems to have a mixture
sufficient for good performance. Just
as good performance may be possible
on far leaner mixture.
If the cause of the stalling of your
engine is electrical trouble the stop
will be abrupt. Fuel line, carburetor
or ''watered" gas troubles are always
accompanied by a kissing sound in
the carburetor as the engine starts
to stall.

Running a car in second gear in

the average driver because of the
