Oklahoma Professor Paints Dis
couraging Picture in
New Book.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORMAN, Okla, November 10.-A
gloomy picture of monetary problems
is presented by Elgin Groseclose OF
the University of Oklahoma College
of Business Administration in his new
book, Money: The Human Conflict. VI
Under our system of money it is
well nigh hopeless for the average
man to save against rainy day.
declares Groseclose. formerly edito-
rial associate of the magazine For
tune.
Our system of money, based on
debt, has destroyed one of the prin-
cipal functions of money-that Of
serving as a store of value.
"At the same time it has aggra-
waited the business cycle. BY encour-
aging speculation, it has made it al
most impossible to build up reserves
against the day of inevitable collapse ~
Bank credit, the basis of expansion,
Groseclose writes, together with stock
and securities flotation, has been car
ried so far as to throw the whole
monetary system out of gear.
GroSeclose traces the 1929 collapse
to the gradual undermining of the
structure of money and credit by pro-
gressive imitation during the preceding
40 years.
The solution. as presented by Grose-
close, is the adoption of single metal
lie standard of money. which he
termed indispensable to the future
control of the money mechanism

USELESS" LEGACY
TURNED TO PROFIT
Poor Student Aided by Work,
Perseverance and
Drought.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS. November TO-
Perseverance and an apparently
worthless legacy have enabled Carl L.
Selby of Mankato, Mimi, to continue
his education at the University of
Minnesota.
With few dollars in his pocket,
Selby came to Minneapolis a year ago,
enrolled in the Law School. and used
part of his capital to build a little
lean-to shack at the rear of the law
building.
BY preparing his own meals, he was
able to live on Is cents a day. But
even so, his capital dwindled until
finally he was forced to leave school
when no jobs were available.
Months later an uncle died, leaving
Selby a piece of cutover land in
Northern Minnesota which the uncle
had believed worthless. Selby, despite
his friends advice, set out to inspect
his new possession.
1t was covered with stumps and
boulders. Disheartened, the youth
came upon a small valley verdant with
grass.
He recalled that the extended
drought had made grass valuable and
succeeded in talking a neighboring
farmer into a partnership. Together
they worked throughout the Summer.
When it came time for school to re-
open. Selby had nearly $1,000, his
share of the profits.

A HAYES Biography.

HELEN HAYES, who plays Maggie
in What Every Woman Knows,
was born here in Washington. She is
the daughter of Frank v Brown. a
Government employe. and received
most of her education in the District
schools. At the Convent of the Sacred
Heart she first studied dramatics
after making her debut on the stage
in a stock company at the age of s
years. She played child parts in
Lord Fauntleroy" and did four sea-
sons with Lew Fields From the age
of u to II she attended the convent.
Her first great hits on the New York
stage we're "Pollyanna," Clarence" "
and Dear Brutus.' followed by
What Every Woman Knows" and
"Coquette"
Her first talking picture. The Sin
of Madelon Claudet' won the Acad-
emy of Motion Picture Arts and
Science award. and this was followed
by such hits as Farewell to Arms, y"
The White Sister" Night Flight"
and Another Language" Before re-
turning to the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer
studios to make What Every Wom-
an Knows" Miss Hayes scored a
tremendous hit on the New York stage

Helpful Hints Cleaned
For Milady's Motoring
Carelessness of Car Ownership Often Apparent
to Service Man by Many
Visible Clues

mating the need for shifting to high
and back to second again when the
car has to be slowed down below 5
miles an hour. On some cars where
the load is light low gear can also
be dispensed with for this kind of
traffic. All the timid driver has to do
then is steer, speed up and slow down.
With the advent of the adjustable
drivers seat most woman motorists
discarded the pillow. which formerly
served to bring them closer to the
controls. This accounts for much of
the complaint of feeling tired at the
end OF long day at the wheel. In
spite of the convenience of the ad-
Unstable seat the pillow is still neces-
sary, since most seat cushions are
not designed to give enough support
to the lower part of the drivers back.
Because it has been offered as an
accessory and not an integral part OF
the car the windshield defroster Is a
difficult device to carry in the car
when not needed for immediate use.
Many do not care to look through
.wo panes of glass all day when
there is no need for defrosting.
Some owners obtain an extra set Of
rubber holders and attach these to
the rear window of the car. carrying
the glass defroster there. II also can
be carried on the back of the front
seat by any one of several homemade
methods.
Among ether reasons why it pays
TO slow down on curves is the fact
that tire blowout is harder to cope
with than where this occurs while
the car is going in straight course.
A front tire blowout in the direction
the car is turning is always problem
because the car Immediately tries to
take the ditch on that side.
When the car starts to steer as il it
had lost its equilibrium better get
out and check the rear tires. The
chances are that one of them is go
ing fat This will bring home to
any driver the fact that a rear tire
fiat or bowout always affects steer
ing. There still is some question as
to which is the more troublesome. a
front or a rear tire blowout. with
many experienced drivers preferring
the former up to the higher speed
bracket.
1t ought to be encouraging news to
women who approach their first
transcontinental motor tour with a
bit of trepidation TO know that the
first woman to operate an automobile
across the United States, Blanche s.
Scott. is still busily enga ged follow
ing the vocation of a writer. One of
the points still to be considered on
this long trek is to stop occasionally
to permit the tires to cool. Over
heated tires are much more likely to
give trouble.

ONE trouble with trying to teach
safety is that all some drivers
grasp is the steering wheel.
Not many car owners realize that a
good service man can tell at glance
lust how much care an automobile has
received. The usual clue is evidence
OF the careless use of the wrong kind
of tools. Cylinder head bolts with
edges sheared off and delicate ignition
parts with marks Of tools much too
large for the job are plain evidences
of the wrong kind of service.
One certain sign that a car hasn't
had the service it deserves is breakage
of the upper end of spark plug This
sort of damage cannot be caused by
he motors condition or its operation.
1t always indicates some sort OF out
side blow or the use of a poor-fitting
wrench when installing or unscrewing
the plug.
While they may look alike and
10 practically the same work, today's
shock absorbers are quite varied in
their design. To the thinking motorist
this means wide variation in the
methods of servicing these important
units Some ahsorbers can be refilled
with fluid whils still attached to the
car. whereas otiN must be removed
One must be heNt in a horizontal
position during refiliing, while another
must be turned bottCk2 side up.
Except for remote c.IIitrols as found
IN several high-priced cars. the latest
two-way shock absorbers do not have
adjustments for changing the cars
riding qualities. To obtain changes
it is necessary to insert different
valves or. as in some designs. to install
special pistons. 1t is highly impor-
tant to use only the grade of fluid
recommended for each make and
model of shock absorber
The weeks safety Sermonette is the
warning never to continue using the
car when the clutch has been found to
slip. Not only will the car be uncer-
tain in climbing hills. but Its motor
will be a poor brake when going down
some steep incline in second gear.
After watching a number of women
trying to adjust the front seat have
come to the conclusion that they need
but one simple suggestion to make this
process easy. I note that they make
the mistake of trying to jerk the seat
forward. The job is simplified by
pulling steadily fake hold of the
under part of the instrument board.
One of the assuring things for the
beginner at the wheel is the conven-
ience offered her by the newer trans
missions. 1t is now possible to keep
in silent second gear for most OF
congested city driving, thereby elimi-
