July 14, 1917 a member of the reception committee) he thought he would take a little walk to give him an appetite for dinner. Before the lecture the local man met one of the golf players, who was still somewhat fatigued from the strenuous rounds of the afternoon. “I shall be obliged to hurry through my talk this evening,” the bird man remarked “Why?” the other inquired, curiously. “Oh,” replied the local man, “I shall have to hurry home, because tonight I am going coon hunting.”—Youngstown Tele- gram. A GARAGE W HAVE had much experience with garages. They are the ultimate test of a man’s patience and self-control. The man who can smile and remain cheerful while waiting for a little attention in a place wearing a sign ‘prompt service and pleased patrons our specialty,” is entitled to be made a member of the Sons of Job on sight. In a barber shop you wait your turn, but you know when your turn is to be, and when it arrives you get it. The barber who is to cut your hair doesn’t disappear as soon as he is finished with the cystomer ahead of you; he doesn’t, as a rule, hike out to lunch, or to chat with a friend on the street, or tell you to wait till some one is at liberty. You get right into his chair and he goes to work. But in a garage it is different. You may get your car taken care of in your turn or you may not. It depends altogether on the whim of the employes of the place. As a tule they act as though they hate to see you come in there to spend your money, but once in, they never seem to care enough about you to hurry you out. You stand around patiently at first until the head mechanic and his assistants have solved a knotty problem over in the dim, distant corner of the shop. Then they scatter, each to a car, not yours, and you watch them slowly tear- ing down the engine of a flivver or testing an axle. By and by sou attract the attention of the foreman and he tells you that when they get around to it they'll look after you. you wait for them to get around to it. E tually it dawns on you that they are traveling in another direction, and again you stop the foreman. This time you have annoyed him. “You have to wait your tum in other places, and you'll wait here,” he snaps at you. ‘When that fellow finishes the job he’s on he'll do your work.” You see the feet of a man sprawled on his back beneath a car. He may be sleeping there for all you know, but you stand guard and watch those feet. At last they show signs of life; the man crawls out, and then disappears.’ An hour and a half has been lost out of your life forever; you jump into your car and drive away in search of a garage where they don’t guarantee prompt service, but do make an attempt to earn cheerfully and promptly the money you are willing to pay them. We have had men who own garages tell us that it is a nerve-racking business. It certainly is, but it is the customers’ nerves that are racked, mostly.—Eddie Guest in Detroit Free Press. — Ny ecyrTian | DETTES | The Utmost in Sp 5 Plan End oro and education in incanab PREFER Deities rll ar other cigartle 9 95¢ Angrgyres of the Uyhest Garde Te nd Lipiptoon Caporetos oth Desk Books for the Man Who Would Win in Business Practical information, filed away in new, handy volumes, for the man or woman who requires simple, complete, dependable standards by which to test any doubtful words or phrases in a letter, advertisement report, or other composition.
