BY HERBERT s. HOLLANDER.

Once again the calendar marks the
period when hundreds of thousands of
persons throughout America will flock
to the salesrooms Of the country au-
tomobile dealers to place their definite
stamp of approval upon what the 1927
engineer has wrought.
Motor car markers enter the heavy
purchasing season confident that they
have produced their greatest automo-
biles. They are certain that they are
going to find An increasingly active
market.
II there Ia anything to temper this
confidence, 1t is an attitude of watch
fulness for one symptom that has an.
peared in the past. when rivalry and
competition have superinduced
marked selling fervor.
The symptom in question is the ten
dency toward what the industry calls

Through the q years of its develop

try motor car manufacture has taught
It's most successful leaders many i'm
portant lessons One of these Is that
there are two ways to meet compe-
tition.
Better Car and Terms.
The first of these Is to turn out a
better car at the same price.
The second Is to sell on more attrac-
tive terms.
More attractive" does not mean
better. Popcorn is more attractive to
the youngster than cereal, but even
the most thoughtless parent serves the
latter, knowing it is the more whole
some food.
The same logic that guides the par
ent is motivating the leaders of the
automotive industry who are on the
lookout for overly attractive terms.
They are bad for the manufacturer,
had for the dealer and bad for the
buyer. II carried to excess and util.

The Old Mechanic Says:

Then he tried three wedges, only
to discover that three were worse
than two. The truth of the matter
was that the additional wedges made
the first one useless. and 1T was the
first one that counted. IL alone
pressed the body at the right point
to stop the crackin' sound.
Often I've seen mechanics give
things Just one more bend or blow,
for good measure, only to break them.
You can grind valves up to certain
point and improve matters with every
additional movement. But there Ia a
limit. III you go too far you increase
the size of the valve seats beyond
normal dimensions. That means pro-
vidin' more area for the collection of
carbon. and later trouble with those
same valves.
It's best not to overdo II.

One of the best ways to keep from
remedyin trouble is TO try to add
finish4n touches to the cure. It's all
nonsense to say. We'll, now, I'll just
add little more for good measure"
This usually is what spoils the job.
There's one chap that comes in
to have his car creased who had this
demonstrated to him. Somewhere
in the rear of his automobile there
was crackin noise which he did
away with simply by drivin' a wedge
Of wood in between the body and one
of the cross members of the frame.
Every so often the wedge loosened
and he found it necessary TO drive 1t
in again Recently he thought 1T
would no we'll to use two wedges,
addin' one for good measure. He
certainly was surprised when he
found that the noise came back again.

Care in Plugs Urged.

If an engine is new and compression
is normal. the settings on new plugs
may be just about right. provided the
plugs have not been mishandled. If
the engine Is choked with carbon, If
the valves do not leak and the com
preston is abnormany high. the points
will have to be closer together. In an
old engine With very low compression
better firing will result from extra

 ON WHICH POSTAGE DUE

PARIS, Nov. 30-Thrifty French men and women guard their sous even when the postman brings a letter.
 Half a million letters and pack ages are refused each year in Paris-and like proportion in the rest of France-by persons who won't pay due postage. Ere quently the amount due is only a few cents but the Frenchman is averse to spending even pennies when he doesn't know what he is going to get for it.
 It is, perhaps, because of th's same care in expenditures, that mail with insufficient postage con stitutes a full tenth of all matte; sent to the dead letter office.

"WiLD HORSE MEsAv
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

Zane Grey's genius for story telling and Paramount's superla- tive skill in transferring his col orful tales of the old West in all their gripping realism to the screen, find dynamic expression In a new and unique melodrama- tic photoplay, "Wild Horse Mesa" directed by George B. Seitz from MT. Grey's widely read novel of the same name.
 :. Here is a stirring story of the rugged West. staged against na- ture's own wilderness backgrounds and filled with thrilling episodes of wild horse hunting and captur- ing of horse thieves. perilous trails, faithful Indians, roaring TO- nance and adventurous drama;
 The exciting action centers about Chane Weymer, daring and fearless nomad of the plains, whose desire to capture Pan guitch, a magnificent wild stal- lion, prompts him to join hunt ing expedition, headed by Lige M0lberne.
 Jack Holt has the picturesque role of the daredevil hero; Noah Beery. as usual, is admirably ct fective as the two-gun outlaw; Billie Dove makes an appealing heroine: and Douglas Fairbanks, IT,, gives an excellent account of himself as Holt's younger brother.

 By further study am sure the industry will be preserved but to what extent will only be deter mined by future investigations, said Dr. Thompson.
 Cooperation
 The Fisheries Director urged that cooperation of those interest ed p the industry is essential.
 A. L. Hager. appearing for the New England Fishing Company, said that if the government de- cided to close some of the de- pleted chicken halibut banks. such as those off Goose Island, he would see no great reduction in the annual catch. He said an other feature worthy of considera- tion by the Commission is that a reduction in the catch, even slightly, will cause the price to go up and would automatically result in greater importation of halibut in a frozen form from Japan. He said fishing companies were already greatly handicapped by prices they had to pay fisher. men for their product. He said the Japanese had an improved freezing process, and the quality was better than at first
 Japanese Feared
 Hager said it had taken the Japanese 12 years to perfect tho canning processes of salmon and he feared the same in the case of halibut
 Dr. Thompson stated the na- tural rate of increase of halibu. was two fish per pair of spawn ing fish.

Facts pertaining to indianapolis
