The auto owner goes to his doe tor, having faith that his peescribtion will help. But when his car gets sick he oftext fails to have confidence in the auto doctor's ability to rectify the trouble. elusion is that a meehaaie who de- votes all his time to .oekind of car be more efficient on that particle - lar Melee than a general mechanic who works on aliltintle Of MaelillAn • . 'hile service stations are constant- ly improving their services and conee- quently their chances et securing and • holding the good will of the Metering public, it 'should be' said that the motorists.' lack of faith in the service- ing ability of some Stations has not been without -,COStaiderable reason, Nunaerous managers in this repair business have failed to appreciate the value of having trained experts in their employ, They can hardly 'expect car owners to have supreme confl• donee• in their prescriptions imle•ss they theist on employing telly those technicians who by their 'experience and training are worthy of the respect of the automobilist. 'There are hardly any exceptions to the •general rale that the Man who Owns an automobile has a car that will develop troubles of variouskinds Sooner or later. Although ears are be - leg made better every year and tree- binsof all kinds should 'consequently become leas and less, troubles do mine. 'Gillen the owner of the machine is an expert automobile mechanic himself, which he is not likely to be, he will do well to visit a reliable repair shop with confidence in the results. This is merely an application of common sense to a motoring experience. Even if he is a fairly competent mechanic, which most folks a.re not, he will often find it desirable to call on another expert auto•mobile mechanic to get the ad- vantage of his experience. ,He will do. well to take the advice ef the man whose business it is to know What is the matter with a car and what ought to be done to it to repair it correctly.1 • SEEK ADVICE OP EXPERT. It is also important fee the owner to - seek the advice of an expert at the first indication of trouble instead of putting off this procedure until the ma- chine has gone into a decline or until it has, in fact, reached a serious state of trouble. When such a policy is fol- lowed repair bills are not likely to be larger in the long run. There is a. tendency' for an owner ignorantly to complain about the size of his repair bills and to condemn the repair shop owners as' pirates. In spite of this feeling .ou the part of many, as a rule men who run repair shops do not charge excessively, nor do they try to do more work than is neceesary. No business. ,could flourish on such practices. ' There are owners of a car who some times fail to appreciate -the time and material involved in making even minor repairs or what a minor repair e may lead to by way of other essential atteution. Ieecall a man who drove his car into a repair shop and said that the engine occasionally an • irregularly, He thought the spark plugs needed cleen- ing. The mechanic .cleaned the spark plugs. He cleaned and adjusted the interruptee, points and. -drained the carbetotor and vacuum tank. He also tested the compression, and in so do - Ing found a valve leaking. Conse- quently it was necessary fon him to re- move the cylinder head and grind the valves, All.'of •seemed like a lot of work to the owner, but the mechanic oper- ated oh the basis of assuring himself that he had removed the cause of the trouble. His, idea wasto give the own- er the satisfaction the mechanic knew be really desired. This is only one illustration of nmay which might be given to illustrate this. point. A minor trouble may 'result in the necessity of entirely disassembling the engine. 1 • • Of coarse, such unexpected labor in - valves eonsiderable time and expense. I Yet the servicing institution would not give the owner real service it he did not -completely repair the car. The expense to the owner doubtless emus I large at the time, whereas in the long run to have the complete job done re- presents ah actual saving in the own- er'a money. • EFFECTIVE SERVICE. 'e There is increasingly in the auto- mobile industry an appreciation or the need of giving motorists. 'complete and efficient .servicing facilities at the most reasonable prices possible. Atter a car has been Properly designed; ruan ufactured in quantity and economical- ly distributed to the buyer, the next essoutial to the, industry'e prosperity and to the owner's satisfaction is ef- fective eervicing. • Take a prospective owner of car who realizes. he can. get expert service in all parts of the country on a particle ler make of machine.

What a lot of difference there is in the eyebrows of people! , Some are bushy, others almost invieible. Some are straight. others cilrved. Prom the variations, et is posible to judge a good deal of the owner's character, • • A Person whose eyebrows are strong- ly marked, With long hair of .vigorous growth, is 'amity practical. Well-de- fined .eyebrows denote a Strong cher- aoter.—an individual with a geed deal of personality. Eyeheews of fine, -silky hair suggest that their owner is lack- ing in force and pushfulness. Eyebrows that meet in the centre, at the top • of the nose, arrusually •a sign of quick temper, A person with bushy eyebrows will be amiable. Arched and finely -pencilled brows de- note an artistic or imaginative temper- ament. , ---e. Eight Little Girls.

Life itself is the largest of cross word puzzles, and the prizes, like the visite of angels-, often seem few and far between. Our beat intentions are misconstrued. Our benevolent de- signs miscarry. Where we had looked for perceptive comprehension and fur- therance we meet with a bewildering • rebuff, But all the time we must read a meaning, spell out a riddle, discover and apply a definition, though moving in the dark from the first word, which was with God, unto the last. .Throughout our earthly days, what we call success and what we consider happiness depend a great deal on our nutting the right words in the right places'. Sometimes, ws'itten ar spoken, language seems a hopelese, misfit, la- mentably inadequate to meet the situa- tion. Ou the other hand, there are for- tunately coustituted mortals for whom legions of words, at .a summons, are ready to arise aud obey the bidding, with felicity. There le in 'meet human beinge the ineradicable spirit of curiosity, of ex - elevation and of competition, which the ruling craze for the ceoss-word puzzle serves to illustrate. • We are piqued and spurred by problems set; ; we are put on our mettle by what at first eight seems- insoluble.
