Shows Self-Confldence.

"Whatever else may be said OF the
two pictures, the outstanding quality
of American character Is essentially
self confidence. This self-contidence
seems TO be bred in the air and soil
Of America
Every American possesses Il CON
fidencc IN his powers to accomplish III
the future even greater achievements
than he has in the past. Industrial
life is repiete with examples OF men
of ina ,ination and vision who started
on borrowed capital to rear the great
est institutions in the country. II is
the Sp rIt that leads men to undertake.
tasks without absolute assurance Of
success that has resulted in the coun-
try's greatest deeds.
This understanding OF the spirit
of the man who buys on time IN this
country is absolutely essential TO a
comprehension of the system OF time
payments that has grown up in the
automotivc industry.
"CertaIn!y the purchase Of com
modities or the time payment plan
has been recognized since the early
days cf commerce. This system of
retail merchandising has enabled men
and women today 10 enjoy the pleas
ures they could only buy for cash
in the future. How many homes,
how much furniture, how much dry
goods would be purchased today were

REDUCTION OF WASTE
IN TIRES ADVOCATED
Official Of Dealers Association
Points to Great Duplication
in Industry Today.

Elimination Of the tremendous
waste and Implications In the manu-.
facture Of tires will help immeasure-
ably in conserving crude rubber and
in keeping prices within reasonable
bounds. The need for drastic action
along this line il emphasized by
George J. Burger. secretary Of the
National Tire Dealers Association.
Specifically. Mr.. Burger says
Take for example. the very popu-
lar 30x3k size tire. One large manu-
facturer furnishes this type in nearly
10 different varieties. This Is dupli.
Gated by all the large manufacturers
and by a number OF the smaller ones.
This condition could be Immediately
eliminated. In high pressure tires we
find in popular sizes light and heavy
weight tires. Sizes not practical could
be abandoned during the present rub
Der crisis. In balloon types. the same
situation prevails with the same pos
stble remedy for much Of the waste.

State Bars Raids
By Auto Tourists
On Forest Blooms

Tourists who prey on natures
beauties and return to town laden
with freshly plucked blooms from
forest and field have been curbed
by the State of Washington. which
has taken steps to throw legisla-
tive protection around its State
flower. as well as ornamental trees,
shrubs and plants.
The rhododendron bill, so-called.
has been passed by both houses Of
the Washington Legislature. It

Rule for Gauging
Alcohol Per Cent
In Auto Radiator

Remembering the percentage of
alcohol to add to the radiator Is no
easy matter for the busy motorist.
here is simple way to remember
percentages by volume for two i'm
portant temperature divisions:
Water freezes at 80 degrees above
zero Twenty degrees below this,
or IL degrees above zero, the radi-
ator will be safe If 1t holds a 20 per
cent alcohol solution. Keep in
mind "twcnty-twenty."
For safety down to 20 degrees
below zero u 40 per cent solution
is required. Keep in mind the idea
that below zero the engine is safe
when the alcohol percentage is
double the temperature figure.

of the water makes enough change in
the reading of the motometer to lead
you to assume that the motor is run
ming hotter than usual, 1t Is best to
drain off little water. Perhaps when
the"excess of water is drained off the
motometer will still register higher
than usual--an indication that the
other causes apply.

Motorists who are careful to keen

black enamel. Many a fender is eat

PURCHASE OF AUTO

Defense of the car buyer who pur-

of business, but have stimulated the

Time buying has caused more in
tenstve work than any scheme Of
mere money saving ever devised. 1t
stimulates our creative powers. That
the average man believes In time pay
mems may be judged from the fact
that more, than IN per cent Of all
motor cars are now purchased under
this plan.
But aside from the obvious bene-
fit 10 the purchaser of . motor car,
there is far deeper economic signifi-
canoe to the time payment plan than
is readily apparent.
ut should be pointed out first that
time sales. of motor vehicles today
exceed $4,000. 5000 in value yearly.
and the yearly output of motor cars
has increased almost ten-fold since

Thus 1t can be logically affirmed
that time payment sales are chiefly
accountable for the fact that automo-

do. This is the sort of cast
which has always someone i'm.
portant on the stage and several
of equal Importance waiting cues
in the wings. SO that II the dia-
logue Expresses at times, we are
certain that at least we're going
to have some refreshing en-
frances, graceful exits and dis
tinguished presences.

hasn't. Paula took the sporting
chance and lost; Mrs. Harley.
Guest reneges at the chance and
loses anyway. She has inhibi-
tions which she calls the ghost
Of past deeds" and, confronted ny
the opportunity of a clean love
to levitate her to decent levels,
she makes a choice which I am
not certain is the choice of
weakling or brave women.
Elsie Ferguson is the Mrs. Har.
ley-Guest. In the last net, par
ticularly, she took two magnifi-
cent opportunities and her last
curtain enhanced the play beyond
its deserts. The Oliver of Geof-
frey Kerr is fine and solid and
healthily fiery. Margaret Law
renee is the dulcinea type, frivol.
Gus, light and souless, given to
inventing idioms of which only
one or two seem to fit naturally.
She invokes from the role it's
every iota of opportunity, and
more, and by the time the eve-
ming is fairly apace, her exits
are accompanied with clatter from
the trenches.
Bruce McRae has a bit, but to
this bit he brings what he has
which is much-and as fine
triumph in genteel makeup as
have seen. Then there's Wallie
Eddinger, who, by virtue of
loyalty for friend and a certain
looseness Of jaw, becomes a male
gossip through someone else's
duplicity. Frederick ,Worlock is
entrusted with two or three en-
frances which serve, with other
details, to define the contrast be-
tween the haute and the demi
monde; for the skein of the play
is woven from contrasting repre-
sentatives Of the social world.
For play entirely of dialogue,
some Of us might reasonably ask
a little more Zest and sparkle
from Mr.. Thomas. Or, IL not
that, then a little more tone or
variety to the situations. This
is one instance where not the
play, but the casts the thing, and
the cast is so eminently fine that
the book itself feeds on a certain
reflective glamor.
