Advice to the Lovelorn
Had a Little Fight With Her
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been in
j France for over a year, and when I
I came back I found out that my wife
had been going about with another
| man. She told me this the day I
came back, and I had a little fight
j with her. Now, I have written her
lots of letters and asked her to for
! give me, and site does not answer
i any of them. Once site sent a mes
! senger boy with a note, calling me
j "Mr. C." and asked me to kindly send
[ a camera, because it did not belong
.to her. I sent the camera back and
wrote and asked her to please for
give me, but she has not replied yet.
| Miss Fairfax. I love her better than
anyone In the world. Would you
! please advise me how I can get hor
I back ? C. Y.
If your wife declines to answer
j your plea for forgiveness, it would
seem as If she were very genuinely
i angry, and perhaps the "little fight"
! seemed bigger to her than you Imag
; ined. Why not try to see her per
sonally and make her realize how
sorry you are over this unfortunate
I occurrence. In the meantime, you
I might resort to the methods of your
! courting days' and try to square
yourself by sending her candy and
| flowers.

W. Nash, president of Tho Nash

of a merger such as has been re

In an interview with Mr. Nash he]
said, "The reports of a consolida
tion In the motor car industry which
includes The Xash Motors Company
are not founded on facts. There is
no possibility of the Nash Motors
Company becoming a subsidiary of j
any other company in the motor
car industry."
"Like all other great industries,
the automobile business Is narrow

day there are mergers reported. j
"I have no criticism of this ten-j
dency but I would like to have it
definitely understood that nothing
could induce The Nash Motors Com
pany to enter into a merger. Should
it become advisable or expedient, we
would go into the field for other
plants but in that event the result

BATTER V ONE OF MOST
I IMPORTANT FEATURES OF CAR
] While all motorists may not be
in the class with tho chap who takes
an actual delight in spending all liis
spare time tinkering about the gar
age, most of them have some know
. ledge of the inner and outer work
] ings of their cars. They know that
spark plugs must be ground, that
carbon should not bo allowed to
accumulate in cylinders, that the
gear box must be kept tilled with
grease, and that even so matter of
j fact a thing as a tire appreciates
jan occasional change of air. But,
I according to Harry Myers, manager
of the local "Exido" Service Sta
tion, the average motorist knows
practically nothing of his battery
except that it is there to furnish cur
rent for starting and lighting.
"A mighty wise man," said Mr.
Myers, "asserted years ago that few
people realized they had a stomach
unless it gave them trouble, and a
similar statement would apply equal
ly well in connection with startim
and lighting batteries. With the
battery it is a matter of 'out of
sight, out of mind'i the battery
works on uncomplainingly until the
Inst ounce of strength Is exhausted;
thpn come troublo and a big repair
bill,"
All largo battery troubles are
email In the beginning, and small
battery troubles can be readily
avoided If the battery is looked over
regularly by competent experts.
Some motorists unfortunately take
the attitude that "the battery Is
there to start the car, and start the
car it must," without realizing that
tho neglocted battery, no matter
how well constructed, loses efficiency
under tho tremendous strain that
is put upon it. Others feel that it
would bo "too much trouble" to
havo the battery inspected at regu
lar intervals, yet these same men
would not think of allowing their
watches to run down before rewind
ing them.
"When motorists thoroughly ap
preciate tho great saving of time,
money and annoyance which fol
lows the regular inspection of their
batteries, we will see a remarkable,
country-wide increase in starting
and lighting efficiency."
