However, accurate machine methods of _manu- facture have changed all this and to-day we know that the spare part, whether it be gear, wheel or generator, which we buy for our car will fit accurately with every bolt, hole and thread occupying its proper place. Such extensive interchangeability of parts is not so common in foreign coun- tries in which machine methods of pro- duction and assembly are employed less extensivt One well-known American car, some ten years ago, ed the European automobile world by constitut- ing the first “automobile cock-tail” on record. The dealers of this American car dismantled a certain number of automobiles of the same model. Every nut and bolt was removed and the entire collection of thousands of ts from these half dozen cars, figuratively placed in one pile, with no distinguishing marks to determine the particular ear from which any part was removed. A few ordinary mechanies were then put to work, and ively short time constructed six perfectly operating cars from. this assembly of parts. Theoretically, only about 17 per cent. of the parts in any one car were those which originally entered into its construction, and yet the fit and ensuing performance were as perfect as though an original nut or bolt had never been loosened. several in a compa and _inter- ability ht s the motor car of to-day a vehicle which can be maintained without undue cost by some twelve or fifteen million persons.

I was in a restaurant talking with a heavyweight prize fighter seated across from me at the table. He had knocked his man cold in the second round the night before. “It was a great fight,” I said. “All the women present said so. ‘There was one girl sitting right next to me at the ring side and she was terribly e it!” I was just about to add, “and she had the worst looking face on her of any girl I ever saw,” when a prune slipped part way down my throat and it was al moments before I could recover peech.
