The abridged version of Chicago's

without protest. Censored, it still
contained a bank robbery, q muir

A Fist Fight
Then the censors looked over a
film entitled Les Nouyeaux Mes.

Robert de Flers and Francis de
Croisset. The film producer, Jae-
ques Feyder, interpolated a fist
fight in the Chamber of Deputies,
with de Croisset's consent.

he has taken more than usual pre-
cautions to avoid it.
The conditions under which va
rious cars are operated render 1t
unwise to accept any suggestion in
the matter OF car care without first
investigating every possible angle.
Careful as the manufacturers are
in advising motorists through the
pages OF the instruction book, sery-
ice stations report no end OF troubles
which are the direct result OF carry
ing some bit of advice to extremes.
1t may be information when 1t
begins. but the motorist promptly
applies the mis-" and pays the
penalty.
When the person offering the
information and the motorist ac-s
cepting it each applies his own
Interpretation there are bound to
be some totally unnecessary repair
bills for someone to pay. 1t seems
to be habit in motordom for
people to run 10 rumors and
popular fallacies.
Most car owners still judge the
quality and quantity of the engine
oil by the level of the oil indicator,
though it has been shown time and
time again that the high position
of the indicator may be warning OF
crankcase filled with raw gas
which has worked down past the
pistons.
There is no apparent end to the
number of suggestions on car care
which, hastily adopted by the
motorist, may result In defeating
his purpose. These are generously
dropped during discussions about
cars and their habits, and the re-
suit is that when the motorist takes
the hint to apply to his own case
he gathers up the choicest bit OF
misinformation.
Among car owners there Is ALWAYS
one who has never had the least
bit OF trouble with his car. He is
the type who also has never had
sick day In his life, though he may
be just on his way to the doctors
for little tonic. He is a choice
example of misinformation in him.
self. but all indications would ap.
pear to point to the fact that he is
less of a hazard than the owner
who admits his automobile annoy
ances for the pleasure he derives
from slipping a hint or two to the
unsuspecting.
Unless the motorist is already in
the habit of analyzing every hint on
car care that is offered him it is
well to keep in mind that one mans
medicine may be another's poison. |

TIL point Is emphasized that motor
lists entirely too frequently fail to
set the whole story, and thus apply
to their own cases remedies which
not only may be useless but actually
harmful.
According to those engaged in the
business of maintaining automobiles
and making them give long and eff
ficient service at q minimum Of ex.
pense for the owner, 1t is surprising
how many otherwise careful and
thoughtful motorists will cling to a
piece OF mechanical misinformation
and insist upon putting it to q use
which for them may finally result in
a large repair bill.
Jumps at Chance
"a nlotorist, for example, win have
a certain difficulty" one shop fore
man explains. 'This motorist.
meaning well, will tell some of his
conclusions to a friend who has been
having another kind of trouble. The
friend. perhaps seeing a similarity
in symptoms, jumps to the conclu-
sion that here is just the remedy
he's been looking for. He'll apply
it, and then wonder why his trou.
ble's aggravated"
This same shop foreman volun-
teered the informa ton that this
practice is proving a highly costly
one to motorists everywhere, and
that it is responsible for considerable
dissatisfaction among car owners
dissatisfaction which may be di-
reeted illogically against either the
make OF car or the establishment
where it has received service.
1t is a fact that when the car
owner finishes telling of his ex.
periences with some mocha nical
matter he invariably steps forth
with a few hints which may or may
not be taken to apply generally.
They told me was using en-
tirely too heavy a grease in the
transmission, and I am just pass
ing the word along to you so that
you'll know what to expect if you
duplicate my error"
Fails to Consider
That is an example OF the rather
appetizing fashion in watch much
motoring misinformation is placed
before the car owner.
The person who takes the advice
too literally may forget that the
particular story occurred during
winter driving. Thus when he
thins down the transmission lubri-
cant with a quart or so OF ordinary
engine oil and starts out for a long
journey in warmer weather he is
quite likely to encourage some re-
pair work even though he imagines

AUTO INDUSTRY
KEEPS HIGH
LEVEL

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 2.-The
general nature of conditions in the
parts and accessories division Of
the automotive industry shows but
little change as compared wita
last week. according to B. H. Cram
president of Grams Automotive Re.
ports. Inc, industry authority.
Production has been reduced IS
d result of the Christmas holiday
breaking into the working period
OF the week, and this situation has
given manufacturers an excuse for
suspending operations entirely for
the current week and the coming
week in order to accomplish the
taking of inventory.
Night Shifts Work
A number OF the larger pro-
dlIcers, however. are working on
full time schedules with night
shifts operating to maintain a
normal weeks output.
As a result, the inactivity of q
few of the manufacturers has not
seriously affected production levels
for the industry as whole.
The present rate of operations
will undoubtedly continue in effect
until January 2, when a rapid step
up in output is anticipated with
most OF the plans now closed re-
suning activities on major scale.
The sales situation continues to
be favorable, with manufacturers
reporting substantial releases for
January and sufficient inquiries
covering February and March com.
mitments to give those months a
good outlook.
Original equipment business which
provides the bulk of, the indtlstry's
activity at the present time, is being
fairly well maintained with only a
slight degree of curtafIment no,
ticed during the current week.
Sales Are High
In spite OF this situation, however,
the volume, of sales is seasonalfy
high and well above this period last
year.
The current retail market can be
characterized as comparatively dull
which is, of course, only following
the normal seasonal trend.
There will probably be no further
decline in retail sales from this time
forward and business is expected
to improve after the first of the
year.
Despite the fact that consumer
demand has fallen off in December
as compared with November. the
present volume of business is SUBJ
stantially heavier than during the
corresponding period last year.

DR., HOWARD DENIES
, GARFIELD EPIDEMIC
Says Only One Staff Member Is Ill,
in Answering Reports Of
Impure Food.

In response to reports that seven
internes and two nurses at Garfield
Hospital we're stricken with a "mys-
FERROUS malady" following their Sunday
night supper DR.. D. c. Howard, super
intendent of the institution, said this
afternoon only one member of the hos
pital staff is i'll and his sickness can
not be traced to any food he ate at
the hospital.
Monday, five or six Of the young
doctors reported to me that they had
stomach pains Sunday night" DR..
Howard declared II Immediately in
stituted an investigation. The food in
the kitchen was analysed and found
to be pure. With the exception Of one
of the internes who two days ago was
admitted to the hospital for treatment
of skin disorder, none Of those who
reported the ailm01t had to be relieved
from duty, either then or since.
More than 48 hours after the supper
one Of the nurses told me that she had
suffered a slight attack Of indigestion
following the meal. None of the other
nurses was afflicted.
Two hundred people are f,..1 the
same food from the same kitchef, Ind
1t Is ridiculous to say that because one
man is sick the food Is impure or that
an epidemic has struck the hospital"
After reading an account of the con-
dition at the hospital in local news
paper, DR.. William C. Fowler said that
he would send man to the institution
to make an investigation.
