It isn't so many years ago when car
owners observed the quantity of oil in
the engine by lifting the hood and
peering at the indicator of the OIL
level gauge. So today, when the guam
tity of oil is judged by withdrawing
bayonet, it Is perhaps UNI easonable to
expect all owners to take advantage of
the opportunity to add inspection Of
the quality of the oil. When the bay
onet is withdrawn, there should be
enough oil on it to furnish an idea of
the latter's appearance. Note If it is
clean or dirty. Feel 1t to obtain an
idea of whether it still has enough
body, or if it is too heavy for this sea-
son of year. Finally add the smell
test" If there is too strong an odor
of gasoline then suspect excessive dilu-
ton. Make this test after the engine
is warmed up and the car has been
driven normally for 20 miles or so.
Excessive gas smell indicates need for
an oil change. It means that the oil
is badly diluted with fuel that has
worked down past the pistons.
II this happens to you, don't be
alarmed. It will simply mean that you
have made a rather common mistake,
no penalty being imposed for the over
sight.

Celebrating
.TheWedding
Anniversary
Circumstances Vary;
Invitations and
Gifts.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I have been
invited to first wedding ami
versary party and. since this is con-
sidered the paper year, can't think
what to take in the way of a present.
I know that ordinarily you cannot
be expected to suggest presents for
people you don't know, but will you
just mention an item or two that
would be suitable to give to any one
who is celebrating a paper ami
versary?
Answer-Nothing could be more
suitable or useful than writing paper
with the house address printed or die
stamped on it. Even if other people
give them the same present, one can
never have too much or too many
varieties Of writing paper.
brate our silver anniversary soon and
my husband would like to include
several Of his business men friends
in the invitations to come in on that
day. I do not know their wives and
neither does my husband, and I
wondered, under such circumstances,
whether it would not be proper to
invite the men without their wives.
Answer-Even If the invitations
were addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. in
stead of to Mr., but sent to the Office,
the men would be free to come alone
straight from the Office, if they pre-
ferred. At the same time the wives
could take no offense, and moreover,
any who cared to come would be
welcome to do so. In other words,
you are sending business invitation,
but you are including their wives.
y Y
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it possible to
make something special of a fiftieth
wedding anniversary without giving
party Of any kind? My parents are
very old and not very well and the
doctor thinks that any great excite
ment of having their friends and
relatives coming in on that day might
have serious effect. But you can
understand, I'm sure, that we would
like to honor them in some way. Is
It possible to send out an announce
ment Of some sort instead of an in
vitation?
Answer don't quite understand
the advantage to them in such an
announcement. If you send it after
the wedding day no notice will be
taken of it, and If you send it out
before the wedding their friends will
naturally flock to the house, and, of
course, this is just what you want
to prevent. 1t seems to me the best
thing to do would be to tell the few
people whom you know your parents
really care for most that your father
and mother are not well enough to
have q party, and suggest that they
might like to send messages which
you can read to them.

Dorothy Dix Says
It Is Difficult for a Business Woman
to Turn Into a Plain Housekeeper.

If a man is able to support his fam
lily In comfort, he naturally expects
his wife to stay in his home and make
it happy one for him and his chill
dren instead of its being just a house.
He expects her to meet him in the
evening with a glad smile instead of
being of lecturing, or seeing patients,
or coming home from the store or
office too tired to even talk. He ex-
poets her to be with the children.

of turning over their rearing to hire
Gngs. He expects her to. give her
family the very best that is in her to
give.
A woman, who has been a big buyer
with her semi-annual trip to Europe,
explained her reaction to her mar
riage to me by saying that, after be-
ing on big job. running a 2-by-4 fat
was like putting a thousand horse
power engine to do a one-horsepower
job.
And no doubt she expressed the
feelings OF thousands of other women
who have married and who want to
live with their old lives and their new
lives. The only trouble is 1t can't be
done. DOROTHY DIX.
