The high compression motors of modern cars are
marvels of power: efficiency and economy. They
start easier-wam up quicker-sive better per-
Torrance summer and winter. They're equipped
with many devices to improve their performances.
One Of these is the automatic choke-which makes
starting on cold mornings 90 much easier. However:
unless you use a motor fuel which starts quicker
warns up quicker. your automatic choke (and your
hand choke. too) literally food the motor with ex-
eessive amounts of raw gasoline Most Of this does
not burn-much Of it drains into the erankcase.

She told the boys something OF
Honolulus charms. After that,
they simply couldn't wait for a
boat which could take them there.
Magill Goes First
Magill didn't even wait for Shaw,
who was delayed in trying to sell
his car. Msgill went on ahead.
But it was Shaw who ran right
into opportunity for both of them.
He met man during passage
who was representative of firm
engaged in making and selling
photo engagements in the Orient.
The man apparently took a fancy
to Shaw, for he offered him a job
as a salesman.
Shaw said he wasn't interested
at the moment, but the man guar
anteed his passage money from
Hawaii to the Orient if he should
happen to change his mind.
Recalls Offer
Shaw joined Magill at Honolulu
and after romping around there
for a couple of months. Shaw re-
membered the offer. He wrote a
letter of acceptance, at the same
time asking for post for Magill.
The reply hired them both and
they boarded boat for Singapore,
