Lewer The garage -proprietor scratched his head and tilted his cap, and sur- veyed the 1925 Oakfield in the :gate- way dispre gingly. "W1e11, 'I 'reckon two pound is . a good price," he said; "specially see- ing there ain't even a proper car- burettor on it!" A 1935 Oakfield by the petrol pump honked imperiously, and a pretty, rose -tan face framed in red curls ape. peared at the window. "Coming, :ma'am!" Jeff fOebden took an eager step after the proprietor. . "Oh, but -,but I shouldn't leave the careuliettor en. That's my own invention Y" ' "We'll. I can't say any fairer," said the garage man. "It's take it or leave it -see?" He marched over ta'. the luxury ear. On the other side of the gates a ramshackle five-tonner piled with scrap metal was drawn close to the narrowfootpath, while its driver col- lected enaterial froma dump just in- side the yard. It was a very ancient, .battered lorry. and the man was old and bat- tered, too. Far too old to be hump- ing heavy scrap iron and tires on a warm afternoon, Jeff thought.. He strode forward impulsively. "Let's give you a hand with that lifting, dad." Fifteen minutes later Jeff left the garage, his car still unsold. Round the bend the new Oakfield stood waiting. The pretty, red-haired •girl hailed him breezily, and Jeff paused alongside. "That old crock rune well for its age," she remarked ins friendly fashion. And in a minute or two he was telling her about the earbtzret- tor. "Have you ever approached Oak - fields ?" she asked. "L mean -see Ing you fitted your invention on an Oakfield."

"What sort of machine is this You tackled our partieularly nasty hill with a full load, I believe ,--if what Mrs. Jennings says fe'. night." Jeff grinned. "Full load all right, sir. But it wasn't the Oakfield that did the trick. It was the Cobden carburettor." "VV(hat's that? I don't seem to have heard the name before!" Jeff shrugged. "And I don't suppose you will a- gain, Asir. It's my own idea -but it works." The old gentleman came close to the -timer's battered bonnet. "May I look at, this marvel?" he asked. "D?you know anything about engines?" he asked modestly. "Oh -a bit. Now, tell me-" Jeff plunged in joyfully. For forty- five minutes they talked- of engine power, of petrol consumption, of atomisers, jets and mixing chambers. Then the audience straightened reached a triangular grass plot out- side a tall privet hedge and a broad white gate. Jeff turned in his seat and looked "Weeks --months ago. They make behind. Far below the roadway one of the finest cars in the world, gleamed like- a steel -grey ribbon, but they're a rotten firm to deal with. "Gosh! What a climb! Well -and I've been hanging round the district here we are, ma'am!" on the chance of getting a square With a 'breathless word of thanks deal Irani thein. But Hamson, that's the manager at 0ek£e1d's, has simp- ly played with nie. Nothing on earth will make me go near O'akfields' works again." She nodded ruefully. "0f course -(feeling like that. And what will you do now?" He glanced backwards towards the petrol station. "I'ni going to Newtonwood. •See if I can get more for the car there. Then I'll go up to London and try to find a job." "What about your carburettor?" "The shelf again, I 'suppose. I say it's terribly nice of you to let me gas like this. Well, good-bye I must push off." "Good-bye!" Her blue eyes were thoughtful. "'But you're going the wrong way for N'ewtonwood. Look here, I'll tell you how to go." The way was unexpectedly long, and though Jeff was certain he had taken no wrong turns, the• signposts were not reassuring, Nesvtonwood seemed to be no nearer, and twenty minutes later he could have sworn that he had almost described a circle. Thank goodness the old car only demanded air to run on - or very nearly! Presently at the point 'where a half -hidden lane turned abruptly off the road, he slowed down to inspect another riekety'signpost. Their sud- denly he SSW that someone ivas sit- ting waiting on the steep bank be- neth the post.

He took a step towards the hedge just as an elderly gentleman carne through the up. "And why didyou pick on an Oakfield for your test?" Jeff smiled. . "I got the old-timer cheap. Be- sides, I think the Oakfield is a jolly fine piece of workmanship. Of course. her biggest fault is her greedy con- sumption. And that's a pretty bac: fault nowadays. "I know, I ought to know." The old man lifted a whimsical brow. "Cor see, I invented the original Oak- field same thirty-five years ago, and the latest type is only a development of the first model." Jeff (stiffened silently. "Now tell me" -and the old man smiled frankly -"why haven% you approached 'Oairfields with your id. eas?" For the second time that day Jeff said very plainly what he thought of Oakfields' work manager. The old man frowned thoughtfully "Just as I've often thought. Lack ..f vision and foresight.

"You should know that botter'n mc, Miss Laura/' the old eady objected. "I'd just got settled by the, roadside where you left me -with the old dress -baskets stuffed with: flints and newspaper when along he comes!

"Then all of a sudden we were top o' the hill; but don't you ask me' to do a thing like that -not ever again.' She paused and, eyed the glowing, face smiling back at her in the big oval mirror.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREWD In Jasper Park, Canada's famous playground, where thousands of tour- ists each year remove themselfes in smith of rest and diversion, Gene Fogarty. famous Canadian orchestra leader, tries to tame a shrewd black bear with the soothing music of his vbe•1'im. The timing of this frebuent- er of Jasper lark Lodge where Gene and his boys are playing this sum- mer is an easy matter and he is soon reduced to utter submission. .Like- wise are hundreds of thenuands of radio listeners in both Canadaand the United States who each Wednesday evenikeg at 101.30 o'cdlock E.S.T., hear and enjoy Gene's melody parade through the facilities of the Cana- dian Radio Commission and the Na'1'lonlagi Broadcasting Company. TALLY 110! Just imagine you are at the races. In the grandstand thousands of peo- ple, keyed up to the highest pitch of excitement, are intently watching the dozen high-strung thoroughbreds as they wait for the bar to lift to send them galloping madly around the track. A moment to go, the start- er in the judge's stand gives the sig- nal and in unison those thousands of cheering voices yell, "They're off!" You hear the thundering of hooves as the horses dash madly by at the star:, of a one mile Treat. You hear the yelling of the crowd die down as it waits for the horses to come into the home stretch. A moment's pause and again the crowd jumps to its feet and yells more wildly than before. The galloping of feet as those twelve magnificent animals near the finish breaks through the noise of the throng. Louder it becomes' as the horses pass the judge's stand, and then it loses itsel fin the roars of the crowd. The race is over. A grand pee and a noble one. As we said before, just imagine you were at the races. This exciting in- terlude has been a radio broadcast and you, comfortably seated in your home, far from the dust and heat -of the track, have thrilled to one of the greatest races of the. season. How is it done? The answer is simple. A recording of a race track throng gives the cheering and yelling, a man in the studios, speaking through a megaphone, at the end of which he holds a pillow to reduce the sound, produces the effect of the announcer. And the houses? That an ingenious trick. An ordinary broom handle, of which is attached varying lengths of strong leather straps, revolves on pi- vots. The handle is turned and the leathers slap down on the table. The faster the handle is turned, the fast- er go the horses ana louder becomes the sound of their galloping feet. This sound exects device is ane of the new additions to the Radio. Oont- mission's Montreal studios and is op- erated by Ted Slade, sound technic. tan.

CANADA IN GREATEST PRO- D'UiCE!R OF PLATINUM A By':Product of Nickle, 200,000 Ounces Produced Last Year Canada has emerged within the last few months as the world's lead- ing producer of platinum, following a remarkable and steady increase In the Dominion's output of this pre- cious metal till, in 1934, the world consumption and Canadian produc. tion were almost exactly the same. Figures on Canadian production were discussed recently by John C. Nich- olls, assistant to the president, In- ternational Nickel Iompany of ,Can ada, ars follows: "Wle believe from a comparison of all the world 'produc- tion figures available, that 'Canada is now definitely in first place," Mr. Nicholls said. "Hitherto, Russia, with mines in the Ural mountains, has been the chief source of platin- um. Reliable figures on Russihn pro- duction last year cannot ale secured but a study of all data on tiroductron and consumption which Is to be se- cured, indicates that Canada has de- finitely taken the lead." In 1934, NIr. Nicholls said, Canada produced 'slightly over 200,000 ounces of the metals of the platinum group. He thought that 1935 production would also be high. "Platinum is a by-produet of nickel production," he explained. "There is approximately one ounce troy of plat- inum in each 20 tons of copper -nickel ore from the Froom mine and the efficiency of modern milling and re- fining methods now makes practical (Continued on page 3) s THE. STAN ;I.;AR OF as JALUTY throughout the World In a way of speaking, the buying public owns every retail store in our town. It pays the rents and the salaries, and all the other costs of all stores in our city. It informs the owners of these stores what to buy and at what price to sell. And, it demands• from all retailers a communication serviee-meaning news of what re- tailers have in stock, and what their prices are, And of course it does most of its business with those retailers who report to it regu- larly and fully -by the agency off advertisements in cur newspaper. And if any retailer says --an effect; -"I'll not give you -the real own• ers of my business --any niformation about my business;" then the buying public says --in effect-i"Right you are. As for us, we shall go in largest numbers• to those retailers °who eemmunicate to us regularly and adequately via the medium of our local newspaper" This way of putting it is not just fanciful. It is stern Met. Retailers who decline to maintain communication with the public by means of the newspaper which it reads' lose business to those who, are faithfully communicative, .Some retail 'business is languishing today unnecessarily. Its attitude to the public is wrong. It says in effect -to the public. "Yea conte and find us," and the publib's attitude is: "Yea tell us about your business and your merchandise. You ate our employee. Report to us' regularly and adequately on how you are serving us. If you convince us that you are our faithful and eii` e:lent servant, well keep on employing you, and will pay you well." The way of making a business grow and making it healthy is as plain as is the nose on one's farce. It is the way of maintaining a steady communication relationship with ono's employers -via the one effective and economical agency -our advertisements columns.
