dears and such splendid men, too.
One awfully nice fellow waited on me.
He helped me into his car. George
said he was some demonstrator —and
believe me, girlie, he WAS. There was
an awfully big crowd, too. and the
music—they had SI'CH a dove of an
orchestra, it was just spendid. .
"Seats? Why, of course, we didn't
have seats. The only time' I sat down
all evening was when we climbed into
a ear. AVhat? Why, you poor stupid,
we just walked around and listened to
it he music and ... ,
Singing? Of Course Not
| "Of course there was no singing.
I Who ever heard of such a thing: .. .
"... No. please listen, dear, and
I I'll tell you about it. .. .
i "The decorations were SO pretty.
'Ami such funny things were there.
And such nice men. Grace Smith was
there with that queer looking fellow
who's so baldheaded. Yes, ... I
heard that. too. Well you never can
' tell, you know.
Now listen and I'll try to tell you
| about it. .. .
Miss i.cmcr's Orchestra
"When you went in. of course you
| heard the music first and believe me
| that little Miss Lemer certainly han
! died her fiddle in a way that made
! your feet want to 'fox' in spite of
jyou. George said this is swell talk if
i you don't have to beat it early
to the office the next day. It
gave him a sort of a 'fox-in-the-niorn
ing' feeling, lie said. Whatever that
means. . . .
"And THEY were standing about
the room in rows as I told you before.
Some of the cutest were all dolled up
in big yellow and scarlet bows. What
ELSE! Why nothing, you stupid.
i What else would they need? .
j "... One little one had just
; the loveliest hood. Even George said
it looked quite snugly. George said
he never saw such a peach. Even
though I know George is perfectly; <
true to me, I've learned to believe him. <
lie says he's always been a lover ofi
art. ... i
j
Everything on \\ heels '
"Then we walked around and saw ]
all sorts of queer things on wheels.
Some of the great big ones that made 1
you wonder how mere man could
handle them. And yet some of the
awfully nice demonstrators showed '
how easily these great big hooded. .
glisteny things could be swung this
way and that, even by a woman. . . .!
" . . . . Over in one corner we met >
Mr. McFsrland. He's the Reo auto- '
mobile man you know. And of course
he had 'Wrankles.' He seems to love
him so. . . . Yes, I think he's a
perfect darling of a dog. don't you?
What? Why . . . why, 'Wrinkles,' 1
of course, you stupid tiling.
("Xo, indeed, this line's busy. . . .
If I wish to take a nap at this end
of the line I shall. This line's
RUSY. . .") Hello—hello, Floss, ;
Some fellows always wear an early
morning grouch. If lie's got business;
to do let him use another phone. . . . j
Let's see, where was I? Oh yes. . . .
The Story of Many
"At each end of the auditorium they
had the most curious looking coun
ters. They were filled with shelves that
held all sorts of tubes and jars with
colored liquids. George urged me to
come away because he said such
things tempt a man a lot. George
says such odd things now and then
that I don't get him a-tall. . . . j
j Here, either. . . .
| "George stopped to talk to a nice
i fellow whom he said was a Mr. Iluhn.
(Used to be an end-man in a minstrel
j show, George said, although why he
j should be in a show like last night's I
don't understand for the life of
me. . He asked George if he 1
remembered that little story about
Mary, and George laughed and laugh -
ad. When, on the way home I asked
George who Mary was, he said he'd
| tell me some time. When I insisted
j he said it was a scrubwoman friend of
| Mr. Huhn's. . . .
"But, oh dear, Floss, I can't begin
to tell you all about what one
saw. . . .
Why, How Stupid of Flossie
"Just before we went home we saw
that queer coal chute car of Mr. Bail
ey's. Why did he have it out last
night? Could you think of a better
; place to show one's new ma
chine? . . . Kow stupid you seem
this morning, dear. . . .
("Please get off this line. I don't
CARE. I'M busy too.") "Who cares
lor that fresh thing's old rush or-!
iders. . . . As I was saying.!
Floss. . . . Oh, dear, there he is!
again. ... So I guess I'll have to 1
ring off. Really we had a lovely;

How Cadillac "8" Helps
Cold Weather Motoring
Every motorist who operates his car
in winter knows the annoyance of the
"warming up" period which must fol- ;
low starting the engine after it has 1
stood over night in a cold garage or 1
for several hours 011 the street. So the i
device 011 the Cadillac eight which ;
facilitates warming up is of interest to \
all motorists.
This device exercises a thermostatic j
| control over the fluid In the cooling
system and. like many other motor car >
developments, was inaugurated by the
Cadillac Company. The thermostats. I
1 of which there are two —one for each j
block of cylinders—operate in connec
tion with valves which open and close
as the thermostats expand and con- j
tract with heat and cold.
When the engine and radiator are ;
I cold, the valves are doted, and the
water 111 the radiator is practically cut
! off from that in the water jackets of
i the cylinders. After t lie engine is
; started the liquid surrounding the cyl- ;
1 inter blocks rises in temperature and
the thermostat valves open slowly.
Without the thermostat, ail the liquid
in the cooling system would have to |
be heated before the engine would run
well, whereas with the thermostats
only a small quantity has to be warmed
iat the outset, and the thermostat
valves admit the water from the
radiator as the temperature of the
fluid rises.
The device is wholly automatic in
its action. It enables the engine to
reach its highest efficiency much more
j quickly than would be possible if if
were necessary to heat the entire vol
ume of circulating fluid before that
efficiency were obtained.

Big Weight Reduction
in Oldsmobile Cars
"Together with the tendency toward
lower prices, which has created more
or less furore and comment in the
automobile business this season, ha*
heen the marked disposition of some
of the leading concerns to usher in h.
radical revision in the weights of their
cars," declares F. S. Gans, local repre
sentative In charge of the Eaat End
Auto Company.
"The light car is now a permanent
fixture in the business and seems des
tined to grow in popularity, if we may
accept as evidence the fact that some
manufacturers for 1916 have made
weight reductions of considerably
more than a thousand pounds under
their former models—as have the
manufacturers of the Oldsmobile.
"Both their 1916 'light four' and
new eight-cylinder models, which have
supplanted l heir 'Famous Six' of a
year ago, are lighter by almost 1,500
| pounds."
