Question Of Survival

What has production to do with
the strength of an automobile manu-
featuring concern? And will pro-
auction determine the matter of sur
vival? ~
Ihese are important questions In
view OF the numerous predictions in
eehued TO enlighten the motor world
on the companies that are sure 70
1ail this year of intense competition
But one does not have to resort to
crystal gazing and the like, for the
answer is clear to those who nudge
companies by their management. one
company, for instance, has been do
ing less business each year but is
highly rated as a money maker. An
otner is just as highly rated by Wall
street though it's production and

Told In Cold Fiqures

OF zoos automobiles stolen from
the streets of Columbus, Ohio, 977
were recovered. With all due credit
to the police for this high ratio of
recovery it is also believed that the
neglected carr problem had much
to do with it. Many a thief who
tries to steal a car nowadays discov-
ers that he's just borrowing a lot of
trouble and doing some car owner a
favor.

There must be room for everyone
IN a better motor car. Cramped or
crowded passengers or drivers get
no enjoyment out of driving. The
beauties Of the landscape; the fresh,
sweet airs of the out of doors; the
pleasure of smooth gliding over long
roads; even the beauty of lines of a
car are all swept away unless there
is roominess for those who ride, to
bring with it comfort and ease and
restfulness, instead of fatigue. Since
comfort is one of the primary re-
quirements made by car owners, they
should insist, before purchase, on
comparing the car they are consider
ing with others to see whether they
will have the roominess which brings
comfort.

being kind to their property accord
ingly. The garage men wanted TO
know why anyone should respect
piece of property that was seldom
inspected by it's own owner. The point
was brought out that one had to pc
careful of the car that is used daily
because the owner might drop IN any
time, and he would not tolerate un-
necessary delays.
Garages apparently offer an OPP
portunity to study the peculiar psy-
chology of car ownership.

for this. American drivers won't
stay on the road long enough to let

The Southern States show hopeful
road building activity and shortly

Northern motorist who is more or
less accustomed to hard surfaced
roads. North Carolina took seventh

Hunting Parking Space

One Of the handiest places to park
a car is usually the one most often
passed by. This is the space nearest
the street intersection when you are
just turning into the street on which
you desire to stop. You are so busy
watching the traffic as you turn and
so interested in scanning the farther
end Of the street to see how parking
conditions are that you completely
overlook the space that is right at
your radiator tip. Turn the corner
slowly, keeping as near to the curb
as possible The chances are ten to
one that you'll roll right into a park
ing space.

How to Talk
BY FARousoN JOHNSON
Consulting Editor New Universities Dictionary
Article No. q

When we stop to think how well
our ancestors got along with far
fewer words, it would seem to dis
courage any attempt to enlarge our
present vocabulary. But you must
take into consideration the fact
that there were fe1ver uses for
words in those days. 1t was a slow
moving world then-uneventful-
plodding. 1t required many tire
some days to make things by hand
that we now turn out in a few
moments by modern machinery
and new inventions call for new
words.
1t was more THAI eight hundred
years ago that our present Ian
guage began to build itself, and
upon rather a shaky foundation, at
that. Even when Columbus sailed
over to this side, which was more
than four hundred years ago, very
little progress had been made. Per-
haps two hundred years will better
mark the time when our present
language would have been recog-
nized in the spoken word of that
time.
During those years we have passed
through the age of great discoveries
and ;p1,ant;one all of .xyh,~b <,l1a1
for new words. Activities in science
have brought their new words. Prog
ress in every line of human endeavor
has developed need for new words.
And now radio, aviation, and other
inventions and discoveries, have been
giving us more new words than we
could comfortably take care of for the
past year or two.
So you need new dictionary to keep
up with the times. But, when you go
to buy one, ask when it was compiled.
Find out if it really is new, or an
ancient reprint If it should happen
10 be a very old one with few new
words inserted and then reprinted
with 4 recent date, it will not be worth
the price, whatever it may be. 1t would
be like buying a secondhand hat which
was out of style years ago.
Fashions change in words and their
meanings as they do in wearing ap-
parel; and not to be familiar with the
modern usage of words is like being a
back number in the style of dress. You
cannot afford TO be known as one who
is so far behind the times. Keep up
with modern language through the die
tionary that is newly compiled with an
enlarged vocabulary.
And DONE forget that it requires
more than a new date to make an old
dictionary modern.
