declarer than his hand must be set

When Mrs. Hussey, sitting West, who
had doubled, was forced to play her
singleton king Of spades, Stockvis be-
gan to see possibilities. Four more
leads Of spades obliged Mrs Hussey
to ruin her hand by discards. The
six and nine Of hearts were first to 20
and then the seven and nine Of dia-

to lead her eight Of clubs into de-

HOPPING around for automotive
- repairs l. vastly different than
other merchandise quests. II
- you find service place suitable
to your wishes, stick to 1t; other spots
may seem to be more economical, but
the kind Of work given may prove
otherwise.
Unfortunately 1t Is true that there
are many places in Washington, as in
other cities. where the repair or service
men only expect to see you but once
and deal with you accordingly. Often
you will find that the poor Job done
on your car Is not enough Of finan-
cial importance to take your time and
harangue for adjustment. Often when
you find this out 1t is too late. OF
course, the better business bureaus of
the city will help you. But your time
and patience Is not worth the pro-
cedure.
This poorly done Job Is not true
everywhere, but 1t Is more Of the ex-
ception than proper satisfaction. If
you find good place, and you can,
seek no other.
There are rackets that exist in al
most every business, but 1t is particu-
larly true to garages and service de-
partments. When 1t Is at q place
where you bought your car 1t Is dim
cult to understand. You must be kept
sold on your car and If you cannot
get proper treatment at the dealer
where you made the purchase, very
likely you are going to look somewhere
else the next time. Factory heads. dis
tributors and dealers should be aware
of this by now. Many motorists are
willing to pay fair or even high price
for service II they get 1t, but are not
willing to pay small price for moth
ing.
Reports have been made continu-
ously that repair shops are purposely
careless 80 that you will have to come
In again. 1t has been stated that
some service stations selling anti
freeze fluids have purposely loosened
connections with the water pump and
the radiator, 20 that you will need
more. This Is hard to prove, but the
average driver requests that all con-
nections be frightened at the time he
purchases the cold weather protection
II this Is done. then there Is no reason
for his winter medicine leaking out
in . few days.
Some garages tell Of needed replace
ments. The motorist agrees and pays.
only to find that he has not gotten
them. Sometimes the worn-out parts
are not even repaired. This goes for
cylinder heads, blocks, spark plugs,
brake Innings, ignition starters. springs
and even inner tire tubes The aver
age man is trustful and does not often
look to see that what he has bought
Is in his car A woman Is more so
that way. And another thing, the
average driver Is unfortunately too
unacqusinted with the mechanism of
the car. So. the field for stealing,
and that actually is what it is, Is
rather easy. You know when you buy

ported generally by dealers throughout
the country. . healthy indication that
the groundwork is being laid for
spring activity.
Used-car sales, ~ . matter Of fact,
have run counter to the seasonal
trend the past six weeks. Ordinarily.
the dealers must wait until spring and
early summer for the bulk Of their
used-car sales.
This encouraging turnover can be
traced to several factors. not the least
OF them the willingness Of dealers to
sacrifice prices to unburden them
selves Of heavy stocks. In many cities
used cars, properly reconditioned At the
hands OF authorized dealers, have
become distinctly hArgain merchan-
disc. The factories also have como
to the support OF their dealers with
advertising on used cars.
The motor vehicle unquestionabfy
has added more to better living and
to the sum total Of human happiness
than any other mechanical device pro-
duced by human ingenuity. As . social
and economic force 1t Is probably
without parallel in all history.
Despite its far-reaching contribu-
tions to modern society, 1t has been
made the target Of punitive TAXATION
by the Federal and State governments
to the point where highway transpor-
tation pays tax tribute in an amount
greater than the total taxes collected
by the Federal, State and all tho
thousands Of local taxing jurisdic.
tions in the horse-and-b buggy days.
In 1900 taxes collected in the United
States totaled about $1,3O0,OO0, 900.
In 1887 taxes levied on highway
transportation exceeded that figure
by approximately 100000, 900. Motor
taxes today are more than the whole
cost Of all government in 1e0O-the
Army and Navy, all the police, fire
and other municipal forces, and the
entire postal system.
How heavily the motor vehicle is
taxed is brought out in an interesting
manner by the American Petroleum
Industries Committee. Ascertaining
that the life span OF an automobile is
now about eight and one-half years,
the committee finds that the average
automobile owner in the United States
spends annually only about two weeks
OF 24-hour days in his automobile.
The real operating life of an auto
mobile Is therefore but three to four
months, or from $500 to 5000 oper-
ating hours.
