! SHAMPOO OF A
PERMANENT WAVE

There's no denying the fact that
women are giving more attention TO
their appearance than ever before.
1t may also be mentioned in this con-
nection that women are having their
heads shampooed more often than
has hitherto been the case.
Miss Irene Libby at 167 Water
street, Augusta, exponent of the Har-
per method of treatment for the skin,
scalp and hair, is authority for the
assertion that enthusiastic praise for
the new Harper method shampoo has
been coming from all sides. There
is no doubt that this shampoo is to
have big popularity.
The Shampooing of the hair with
a permanent wave has been a prob
lem for long time. II the wave has
left the hair a little dry, as most of
them do, it is difficult to shampoo 1t
and leave 1t soft and glossy. The
new Harper method of shampooinS
meets this difficulty and is so certain
and pleasing in its re- s that it is
little wonder so many women have
enjoyed it and are praising it.
The Harper method of shampooing
is but one of the things practiced at
the Libby shop Since she has been
here, Miss Libby has been immensely
successful in her treatment of the
hair and scalp. Women, and men,
too. who have been worried about
their falling hair, have gone to her
and have not only found a great deal
of benefit, but have been gratifed by
the personal interest and attention
given to each patron.
This last is one of the big features
of the Libby parlors. Miss Libby is
very careful in her treatments. She
feels that each case is a law unto
itself and that each case, therefore,
needs treatment suited TO it. In
the treatment of the hair and scalp
there are certain conditions that APP
ply to all heads. With these as a
basis, Miss Libby diagnoses the con
dition of each of her patrons and
gives her treatment accordingly.
Consistent success has followed the
application of the Harper method
and Miss Libby has had so many
calls that she has found her time
pretty well filled every hour of the
day. Appointments made in advance
are highly desirable, for only in this
way may one be assured of havins
the treatments needed.

BLACKSMITH STILL
HAS LOTS TO DO

No matter il this is the age OF the
automobile, the blacksmith is not
out the game yet by any means.
If one were tempted to doubt this,
all he needs to do would be to call
at the shop of Charles r. Shaw on
Arsenal street and see this veteran
at work Mr. Shaw is a veteran,
too, a real one, for he heads the
list of New England blacksmiths in
years of service.
But surprising as it may seem. he
looks young, acts young and turns
out work much faster than many
of work to do. The shoeing of
horses is not what it used to be;
even Mr.. Shaw himself will admit
that. But, on the other hand, there
are many things in the way Of
working in iron that are required
nowadays.
No matter how good the roads
about the country may be, there
are sure to be ruts in the spring and
in the fall These ma be the good
old fashioned kind in soft mud or
they may be the deep kind that
were once soft but have become
frozen. No matter what the nature,
they are hard on the springs of both
wagons and automobiles.
Mr.. Shaw. being a veteran black
smith and therefore a good one
knows a whole lot about springs.
He specializes in repairing and max
ing them and so good are his prod
ucts that once they have been in
stalled, the car or wagon or carriage
is sure to be fixed for all kinds of
rough usage.
Machinery and machine made
things may come and go, and while
the machine product may run more
even and may have other desirable
qualities, it takes a good old-fash-
toned blacksmith who knows his
business to fashion things and
put the quality into them.
In addition to being a good back
smith, Mr.. Shaw has all his life
been a student of human nature and
of affairs in general. 1t is a treat
TO listen to him tell of the old days
of business and to enjoy his com
ments on life as he has seen il.

MILES OF STEEL
FOR RING GEARS

Transforming a couple of miles OF

cry which obvistes all possibility Of
human error furnishes an interesting
study IN efficiency methods charae-

a mighty important feature in the
line Of power is this rear axle gear,
although not much larger in size
than a china saucer. As the priv
cipsl driving agent between the drive
shaft and rear axle, it must not only
be tough enough TO stand strains,
but must also be hard enough 70 re-

Quality is closely guarded in manu-

length required for the finished ring

TIRE DEALER PUTS
BUG IN EARS OF
TRUCK OPERATORS

Truck operators frequently do not
realize that many of their problems
can be solved by the use of proper type
tires. Their records show the trucks
are not giving service as they should I;
too much gasoline is used, and not
enough power developed. OF course the
truck is blamed. Sometimes the blame
is rightly placed, but many times the
same track equipped with different
type tires will increase its efficiency
to a surprising degree, according TO
II. C. S. Smith, operator of a Fire
stone Service Station at 30S Broad
way.
THE Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company is responsible for many of
the improvements which has made
truck tires the efficient conyeyors of
commerce they are today" said Mr..
Smith. "Firestone was the first manu-.
facturer to successfully incorporate
the desirable power giving features of
duals into a single tire when he
brought out the fourteen-inch giant
solid tire in 1915. Years of research
and new vulcanizing methods made
this possible.
To-day Firestone solids and pneu-
MATES are the leaders in the truck
field. Tires have been developed for
every road, load and condition Of serv-
ice. Given these details we can equip
a truck used in any business with tires
that make engine and wheels work to-
gether to reduce operating costs"

THE CLUTCH.

Function of an automobile clutch
is TO transmit TO the rear axle as
sembly the power developed by the
motor. 1t is the connecting link be-
tween the front and rear ends of the
automobile.
The first clutches were Of the cone
type, but their propensity to slip or
grab led 10 their gradual displacement
by other more efficient types Of
clutch, principally the disc type.
Much experimental work has been
done on the disc type of clutch, now
in general use, in an effort to pro-
duce a clutch simple in construction,
reliable in operation. positive yet
smooth in performance.
The best clutch is of the single
plate, dry disc type, adjustable for
throw. 1t engages positively, yet with
velvet smoothneSs, insuring the de
livery TO the -ear axle assembly of
the full measure Of energy developed
by a powerful motor without unnec-
essary strain on any of the rear axle
units,

AUTOS DISPLACING
CHINESE RICKSHAW

The rickshaw, that fFail two-wheeled
vehicle operated by man power, which
has been the Chinese method of local
transportation, for centuries, is pass
ing before the most modern type oil
motor car and truck.
The roads Of China have little to
commend them for use of rubber tired
conyeyanees, but many of the native
population, as well as foreign resi-.
dents, prefer the newer method of
transportation which enables them to
eliminate time in a country where
time is reckoned by dynasties or cen
turtles.
Even in the newer military regime
Of China, which is now battling
against the incursion Of Soviet doc
trine, the motor truck has become
an important link in the operations.
The big factor in bringing about
this condition is the use Of Dodge
Brothers motor cars and Graham
Brothers trucks, which are now in
general ugn il the Provinces of Han
kow and Honan.
Recently a shipment Of thirty
Dodge Brothers chassis vas made TO
General WI Pei Flu, commanding the
Chinese army at Tientsin. in the Prov
incc Of Chill. General WI is using
this fleet for transporting troops and
for road building.
Two other large shipments Of these
units were received by the L. +. Gale
company, Dodge Brothers dealers al
HaukOw. These shipments were dis,
bursed 10 other points in the provinces
Of HankOw aud Honan for road build
ing and for transportation needs.

"A large measure of America S

declares f. G. Chandler, president of
the Chandler Motor Car Company

"As a matter of fact. the progress
of many families Is founded ON credit,

harmon FILLS TRAIN
WITH CARS IN DAY

Following closely upon the heels Of
solid trainload shipments of Marmon
cars to California and Chicago, the
Marmon Motor Car Company Satur-
day broke all records for large shin
ments, when - freight ears were head
ed East for distribution to a group of
distributors in Cleveland, Buffalo and
New England points.
The cargo Of the Marmon Special
is valued at approximately half mil
lion dollars, says II. V. Embleton here.
This is the largest shipment that
has ever left the Marmon plan! at one
time and, according to railroad off
Gals, is the largest solid trainload of
merchandise in the records of indian
apolis railroad history. The trainload
consists of roadsters, coupes,
broughams, sedans and touring cars
that are being rushed to meet the
heavy demand for Marmon cars in the
East.
The arrangements for the trainload
were made by =. L. Chamberlain. sales
manager, on recent trip which took
him to Marmon distributorskips and
dealerships throughout the East. Last
december Marmon sent solid train
load to Florida which, at that time,
was one OF the largest on record.
Business is good with Marmon,"
said Homer Mckee, vice president, in
charge OF sales, who was on hand to
see the special" start on its jour-
ncy. "We are gratificd with the heavy
demand that is coming in from all
parts of the country. The eastern
