BECAUSE— Uncle Sam needs mechanics and as long a» there is work for them to do in garages and repair shops many will avoid Uncle Sam's “garages.” If these mechanics are not released for gevesnment work by motorists taking own cars and forcing mechanics to help take care of government motor vehicles, our great old Uncle is go- ing to step in and lower the curtain on the grand finale of pleasure rid ing. It is a case, Mr. Motor Car Own. er, of looking out for the little trou- bles yourself, avoid the big ones and retain the pleasures of motoring. Some of our readers, no doubt, sre already seeing the “hand writ ing on the wall,” and would be glad to do their bit in taking personal care of their cars. The Star will publish each week information for motorists that will help in solving some of the mechanical difficulties that are simple, once you know them Here are a few hints that will in- crease the efficiency of your car as well as help avoid mechanical trow ble: Watch your tires! Keep them well inflated. If the thread is found to be cut, do not let tifis go to fill up with and and eventually cut thru. If the cut {» #mall, tire putty can be used, but if large, have it vulcanized at once. Under-inflation will cause the walls of the tire to break down and shorten the life many hundreds of miles. There is f& shortage of tires, so it behooves every motorist to conserve and get every possible mile out of his tires, Tire companies will gladly tell you how.

A READER. 7 OBJECTS TO QUESTIONS Editor The Star: Can you explain to some of us benighted females who are seeking work, the need of so many war work employment bureaus? I have visited them all, and the only real living-wage jobs they seem to have listed are for cooks and nursemaids. If you meekly say that is not just what you are looking for, you are requested to leave your name and address, or you are handed an application blank which is filled with questions that | would “queer” any one who answers them. On one appears, “What do you consider your weakest point?” Now we all have our weak points, but why register them? And after all the agony, and sweating blood trying to make @ good tmpression, you never hear from any of them again. I have talked with many intelli- gent women who for years have earned a good living, but the war has put their particular line of work on the non-essential list, and they have all met with the same expe- riences, Just why? It seems to us the word Hooverize could well be An Urgent Appeal to Restrict the Use of the Telephone THE large number of operators now absent because of illness makes it necessary for us to appeal to our patrons to restrict the use of the tele- phone.
