Harry had called Corrinne.
 ''Corrinne. Clifford's in town and I've asked him to stay with us? Do you mind? He came last night and he's been at home but Nancy hasn't much love for the prodigal."
 T didn't think you had, either" '" Corrinne came back. II hate him.
 Well, Pm not going to stand in the square and sing his virtues .''
 Tt would be a short song," Cor rinne interrupted.
 Harry laughed little and Cor rinne softened, as he went on. After all, the Beckers had gone bail for her father and Clifford was Harry's cousin, much as' she disliked him.
 He's suspended and it will take a week or so to fix things up for him. He was just in. He's having lunch with Sybil Lester"
 "SybiI." Corrinne almost drop ped the telephone. Docs he know herr"
 "Of course. He's visited us often, and they've done the dine and-dance act together frequently. He went into the bank to get a check cashed after hours when he blew in yesterday afternoon and signed her up."
 But I just told him q hated him and never wanted him to come near on account of his remarks .'' Corrinne hesitated.
 ''So he said. but he doesn't mind. He's anxious to come."
 Corrinne hung up the receiver but she sat looking at it for a minute. "If he wants to stay, knowing that l hate him as much as Eve hated the snake that entered Eden, it's because he has purpose. We'll. the plot thickens. guess I'll get dressed and see what I can do to help it along.''
 Corrinne chose rust colored woolen ffock that had matching kid slippers and soft hat in the same shade of felt. Over 1t she slipped big raccoon coat and then she ordered her car. She stepped on the gas and felt the wind and the road singing past as she hurried.
 ''So Clifford wants to stay at our house. Humph! Then he wants to get in for no good reason"
 The car went faster.
 ''fIe wants to find out something
  thing that he can possibly find out. Therefore, he wants to help fix the scene for what? It was sOme- thing worse than fate that threw him in with SybiI. The gods work we'll for that young lady. just miss- ed that car ."
 Faster and faster now the car hurried on. 'If it is just luck that is doing all this it's queer kind of luck. Oh well
 She came home late in the after noon. She had left her mother. smiling but a little fearful. Her father sitting pathetically by the fireplace. Sue trying to sparkle and failing miserably. She hadn't wanted to leave. This was her family. It needed her. But she had to go back and be .. . ]. Becker. She hoped Clifford would not be around. She wondered why she hated him.
 She had carefully slipped out of her coat when another car turned in at the drive. small, unpreten- tious car. For a second her heart missed a beat. Bcb! She didn't know she said his name out loud. But it wasn't the tall high school senior. It was Max Gordan. of the high school faculty.
 "Oh good land!" She pulled a curl over her cheek. But he's comforting and makes me feel im- portant ?. only this afternoon l want to cry"

MANY JOYS WOULD BE MISSED
BY NON-EXISTENCE OF AUTO
Importance of Motor Car In Present Day
Life Cannot Be Overestimated,
Brokaw Says.

motorists. Or he offers accommodations
fer motoring tourists. Or he operates
a hot dog stand or sells gasoline and
oil to tn m. Or he gets a job with
whoever is building or repairing roads
In his vicinity. Whatever he does he
usually does it to more advantage than
was possible 80 years ago, because he
owns and us-S an automobile.
OF course, without the development
of the automobile engine We could
hardly expect to be anywhere nearly as
advanced in the airplane industry as
we are today Not only does our pres
ent status in flying equipment grow out
of the automobile, but also the matter
of flying is dependent on automobiles.
Flying fields have to be located outside
of cities and motor cars are necessary
to get people who want to fly to such
fields where the fight is to start.
Aid to Prosperity Outlined.
The automobile has contributed vast
ly to the prosperity America has en-
joyed. 1t has stimulated many lines Of
business, so that as the population grew
there was plenty of employment. The
automobile has been a factor in the
development of sports, making possible
an attendance of many thousands at
foot ball games, vast deVelOpmenC In
such games as golf. Endless expansion
of country parks and vacation resorts
has been made.
And the automobile has entirely
remodeled war. The World War saw
something of this. If another war
happens the influence of the motor
vehicle will be even more apparent. In
fact, it will likely be won by whatever
side has the best motor equipment.
Finally the automobile has revolu-
tionized social life and functions. : 1t
has revised courtship in an astonishing
fashion. 1t has changed the complexion
of church attendance. 1t has CONSOLE
dated public school districts. And 1t
has put political campaigns on wheels.
The fellow who complains about the
presence of so many automobiles is the
first one to curse his fate if he has to
wait on rainy day two minutes for a
taxicab to appear.
Mr.. Brokaw will be glad to write on
any subject pertaining to the care of
automobiles which a reader may
suggest

A. A. A. 1880 SERVICE
OF VARIOUS FORMS
Local Motoring Organization Aided
Needy Motorists in Many
Ways.

The position Of the District Of Co
lumbia Division Of the American Au-
tonobile Association as a service agency
for resident and visiting motorists was
strengthened to Q high degree during
1880.
In turn public acceptance Of the bene-
fits of this broad program OF service Is
evidenced by the fact that approx
mately one-fourth Of the resident car
owners now have the right to carry the
A. A. A. emblem on their cars.
Aside from the individual services to
members, said the association, the work
of the year, through the schoolboy pa
trolls, safety lessons in the schools and
brake and headlight tests, contributed
in a large way to safety on the streets
and highways. The vigorous prosecu-
ton of hit-and-run drivers, with the
payment of IL awards Of 500 each Of
fered to those apprehending drivers
who leave the scene of an accident
where there is personal injury, loomed
large in this connection.
Other high lights Of the year in
organized motordom in the Federal
Capital are:
There were 68,700 calls for emer-
gency road service handled, an average
Of one to every two cars in the District.
There were 63,770 persons served over
the counters of the travel bureau. an
average Of $500 per month and 1S9 per
day. In addition, total Of 1882

to Human Span.

Old age Is now being postponed in
automobiles In much the same way
that years are being added to the span
Of human life.
Just as medical scientists and sani-
tarians are incrs asing the life expec-
fancy of mankind. so motor car manu-

they used to be headed for the junk

10000 Miles Added.
"Ten thousand miles have been added
to the life of piston rings of American
automobiles In the last decade" the
bulletin states. TESTS covering every

average automobile will run 10000 miles

45O.oOO.OOO Gallons Used.

-Four hundred and fifty million gal
Ions Of lubricating oil are used in the
operation Of automobiles each year. OIL
experts point out the tremendous i'm
petus which the automobile industry
has given to more scientific processes
of refining.
A recent survey by New York Univer-
sity showed that automotive engineers
put more emphasis on the refining proc
esses of lubricating oils than on the
crudes from which such oils are de-
rived That this emphasis is recog-
nized is evidenced by the countless re-
search workers in oil laboratories who
are constantly conducting experiments
to meet automotive needs.

BY H. CLIFFORD BRoKAW,


Every now and then hear some one
complain about the fact that there are
so many automobiles "One's life is in
constant jeopardy of being terminated
by the heavy motor traffic" one says,
There is no pleasure in walking any
more, either in the city or country" is
another complaint.
Suppose the few who offer such opin-
ions thoughtlessly could be granted
their expressed desire to live in an auto
mobileless age, what sort of situation
would we have? One of the best ways
to fully appreciate what the automobile
means to life in 1891 may be found in
the answer to this question.
Population Shift Observed.
To contemplate the automobile non
existent in 1881 is also quite different
matter than it is to review the situa-
ton third OF century ago. For in
stance, within so years the majority OF
the Nations population has shifted from
the rural sections and villages to the
cities. We could not have become so
| largely an urban people without the
automobile.
Take the very construction of our
cities which house our urban population
and our vast development in the con-
struction world had been impossible
without the automobile. Skyscrapers
which are now constructed in a years
time or l-ss can be built thus rapidly
only because of the facility with which
building materials can be carted by
motor vehicles from one place to
another.
AS the automobile has helped to speed
up the construction industry, so it has
helped to speed up many other lines
Of business. In the aggregate this
quickening of industry and thu increase
in volume have created the jobs which
have made it possible to shift so much
Of the population from the country to
the city. And having settled in the city
not only has employment ben found,
but life in the city has been made much
mora enjoyable to the workers on &C
count of having automobiles to use.
Recreation Facilitated.
Even If a worker lives in thu city he
enjoys frequently taking short excur-
sions out into the country and the auto
mobile greatly facilitates this sort Of
recreation. And, while much more could
be said as to the vital bearing the auto
mobile has had in the growth of urban
life, the motor car has probably bene-
fitted rural inhabitants most.
Certainly the automobile has given
the rural resident highways which would
have made the old Romans, who, though
they had some ideas on road construc-
ton, green with envy could they see our
present development in this field. Here
| is a tremendous industry investing mil
/ ions of dollars annually in highways
/ and the farmer has such roads as 80
| years ago w:re not even dreamed of.
And If farming isn't so lucrative a
business in some sections, what does
our rural residents do to make living?
Well, he frequently gets better market
| for his goods by selling them TO passing
