Brides Demand Battle Rite,

Brides Of Abchasia, district of the
Caucasus, demand that the ancient
custom of the bridegroom's battle for
his fair one be continued. Few will ac-
cept a sutton who does not intend to
carry them off by force. The custom
is that on the wedding day the bride
withdraws to the darkest room in her
home. At dusk the bridegroom, sup
ported by a bodyguard Of friends, all
armed to the teeth, rides to the house
and engages in mock dagger battle
with the brides relatives. Victorious,
he finds the bride and carries her
away on his horse. Her relatives give
chase, and when the bridegroom's
house is reached, all join in a contest
TO see who can drink the most wine.

wish that some OF these fellows

ANY experienced driver knows that
it's mighty helpful to know how to

he's aware of the fact that when he
takes the car to repair shop for any
kind of work, the time is ripe for
findin' out whether the car is in

clutch and to see II it Is smooth

by fractions of an inch. He tries to
put the car in a tight space and thus
comes to know how the steering gear
is behavin. If the brakes aren't
smooth and positive. he soon comes

STARTING is REAL TEST.
Quality of Gas Proven by Action
of Cold Motor.

Much of value in judging the quail
ity OF gasoline may be determined by
observing how the engine starts when
cold. A dry gas, that is, one which
vaporizes readily, will provide the
quickest start. For the particular en-
gine. however, it may not be the most
satisfactory fuel. since there may be
excessive vaporization when the en-.
gine heats, followed by loss of power.
The more volatile a gas is the more
readily 1t will go into gaseous form.
This characteristic is most noticeable
in starting, beca use it is then that the
real test of volatility is found. Any
driver who makes such a test, how
ever. should be careful not to use the
choke too much or he may be misled.
A dry gas will offer too rich a mix.
ture when the choke is used excessive
ly and will cause difficulty in starting.
Naturally, this may be mistaken for
evidence of less volatile gas.

That the automobile gradually is
forcing it's way into the far corners
OF the earth, bringing the most mod
ern means of land transportation to
backward peoples, is seen by the
latest international registration fig
ures. Careful perusal of the figures,
however, shows that many countries
still are extremely slow in their adop'
ton of the automobile.
Districts such as Papua and Borneo.
the Fiji and Society Islands and many
others report registrations which show
that progress is coming their way,
although in a number Of instances it
moves with faltering step.
Papua, long known as jungle land,
now has a registration of 135 auto
mobiles and trucks, and British North
Borneo has a registration of 20 units.
In the remaining parts of BOrneo an
even larger number is to be found.
The Society Islands boast of a regis
tration of 365 cars. including 9 motor
husses: the Fiji Islands have more
than 700 cars registered; the Samoan n
group has a total of some 260 cars;
while the Island Of Guam, cable post

be found in Transjordania. OF the
