THE MEANING
OF STEADY
WORK

IT IS interesting and inspiring
4 to note what Importance is laid
upon work-even the most humble
tasks-by great minds.
Work-by which a livelihood is
earned or merely the labor of love
through which one helps another
lis there anything really higher
or finer when we regard it as OPP
portunity?-aot a burden weighing
us down, destroying youth d
joy--but a chance for expression.
For it cannot be otherwise than
that! Everyone Is expressed to
some degree, at least, in what he
does-and by the quality of what
he does you may know the man.
"A great deal of the joy of life
consists in doing perfectly, or at
least to the best of ones ability,
everything which he attempts to
do" wrote William Mathews.
There is a sense of satisfaction.
a pride in surveying such a work
"a work which is rounded, full,
exact, complete in all its parts
which the superficial man, who
leaves his work in a slovenly, slip
SAIO0g Sr%A
never. know.
1T is this conscientious COM
pleteness which turns work into
art. The smallest thing, well
done, becomes artistic. /"
And all of us have seen too
many examples of some small.
commonplace bit of labor raised
into the realm OF artistry by the
inspired fingers of one who per-
formed it, to doubt that this Is
true.
Another light on the matter Of
raising the concept of work to a
point where we can say that we
live to work rather than we work
to live, is offered by Henry Ward
Beecher:
IAN higher motives, ideals, con-
ceptions, sentiments in man are
of no account If they do not
come forward to strengthen him
for the better discharge of the
duties which devolve upon him in
the ordinary affairs of life"

AS for the problem that puzzles
"Lovelorn," writer of tine follow
ing letter--well, l wish there were
no more serious troubles in the
world. | only hope every girl
who reads these words may find
romance as happy as that wnlch
seemingly beckons "Lovelorn.
Dear Miss Fairfax" writes
"Lovelorn," 81 have been going
with a boy for two years. am
II and he is 20. We have actually
grown up together in the same
neighborhood, and during the past
two years our friendship has de-
Veloped into beautiful love. Now
please don't say that we don t
know what we like, because we
are only happy and contented
when we are together.
Here is my problem: My
sweetheart is only one-haH lnch
taller than l am. / am five feet
four inches, in height. He Is
good looking, but short.
II don't mind his being short
because like him so well, but
when my family start kidding
me about it 1 feel terrible. Do
you think height matters?
t'I can't stop going with him,
because l love him. If only |
could find consolation. Please
give me some advice. l will be
ever so grateful.
"LOVELORN."
Dear "LoveIorn, !" If you think /
am going to sympathize with you
because your family kid" you
about your sweetheart, you are
mistaken. Was there ever a
girl with a family who was not
''kidded" by said family about
her beaus? OF course. the family
should not do such things. But
invariably the family does. And
the sooner you decide to accept
their Kidding good humoredly.
serenely and calmly, without be-
ing influenced by it one iota, the
happier you will be and the sooner
they will stop teasing you.
II we'll remember one young
woman whose life was made
miserable for months by small
brother who teased her about
tsBaldy," as he nicknamed her
very best friend and admirer.
Now "Baldy" was an estimable
young man, quite; charming, and
1t was inexcusable to twit her be.
cause her beau's hair was a bit
premature1y thin. But brothers
do such things, doubtless always
have and always will.
Finally, my friend woke up to
the fact that the only reason it
was fun to tease her was because
she was so very easily teased.
After that She smilingly ignored
the kidding" of her family, in
time married her admirer and has
lived happily ever since. Some
times, you see, true stories do end
that way,
Nv advice to you, dear Love
lurn," is ignore the kidding" of
the family and be true to your
own heart and common sense, in
regard to this romance Of yours.

JAZZ KING TURNS
MOTOR SALESMAN

From the muted trombone to a
bona fide order for a new automobile
may be a far cry in the life of the
average musician, but to Paul White
man, recognized king of jazz, the role
of car salesman or maestro falls east
ly and naturally.
Years ago Whiteman sold cars in
Denver, Colo. He sold cars while
studying music and dreaming of the
day when he would turn the voice of
the saxophone into coin of the realm.
So it was perfectly in character for
him recently, while rendering con-
certs at the opening Of new Oak
land-Pontiac salesroom at Detroit, to
give up the baton for the fountain
pen, step from the concert platform
to the sales floor and demonstrate
that he has lost none Of his old-time
finesse in the matter Of getting names
on the dotted line.
Whiteman's first sale was for two
new Pontiac Big Six 2-door sedans.
In two and a half hours he sold five
cars, and in five days he ran this to-
tai to thirteen.

smooth performance OF the Mooel a
engine.
The same careful design and con-
struction in body chassis and running
gear have also eliminated most Oh
the other sources of noise IN motor
car performance. All body parts OF
steel stampings that might deVeiop
noises have reinforcing beads which
tend not only to prevent squeaks ana
rattles, but also increase strength
and durability. Panels and frame
sections are welded and riveted TO-
gether wherever there is possibility
of the body weaving, due to uneven
road conditions. Where bolts are
needed in the final assembly of large
units of the body, strips of rubber or
other anti-squeak material is used
between the sections. Sound deaden-
ing material is used in many places
throughout the body interior Fender
squeaks are prevented by dOuble-ply
leather tape between the fender and
body. The same material is used
where cowl and body join. Hardwood
filters are used in all body sills. Rub
Der cushions are placed at all points
where the body is bolted to the chas-
sis.

of automobile design and construction
have been employed to make the

four cylinder car-an achievement,
which for speed and efficiency has
never been surpassed in the industry.
The Flint motor plant manufactured

During December 10000 motors were
