African explorers experience more sutlemig and loss of life from the attacks of insects muting from toe death-dealing tsetse fly to the s alloy ing gnat ui.iu they do from mau-eal-Hig wild heusts. Similarly little an noyances add more misery to autoiuo bile. UivitiE tlmn do sciious break downs, whuh today have become rar ities. This condition is well known to au tomotive engineers, and the greater part of the time and talents of tho best brains in the automobile indus try is concentrated on eliminating these petty aunoyances. Thousands of dollars arc spent to make a minor Improvement one that a lnymun can not detect, but one that will add lo his enjoyment as an automobile ovvu- Somo of these "little things" that tho average automobile owner hardly notices ore described by Mr. O. E. Hunt, chief cngiueer of the Chevro let Motor company, which hits just introduced newly designed models. Former Chevrolet owners who have purchased the new model un doubtedly havo wondered why the en opening from tho right to the left side," said Mr. Hunt. "The real rea son is that when driving with a full tank on a crowued road tho right. side of the csr is lowest and gasolme splashes through the air vent, causing a loss snd spoiling the appenrauce of the rear of the cor. "Previously it was difficult for an automobile owner to synchronise both brakes so that they would give equal pressure. Engineers devised a sim ple equalizing device that eliminated this difficulty and greatly enhauced the ease of brake adjustment. 3 he location of the rubber wea therstrip between the two halves of the windshield frequently caused an noyance by interfering with the dri ver's vision. This was corrected by the invention of the VV one-piece windshield for closed cars and by put ting the division on open car wind shields well below the level of the eyes'. Another simple chsnge has been the curving upward of the In strument bonrd at tho aides. This, to. the casual glance, has only given a more graceful line but ita real pur pose is. to afford considerably more leg room in tho front compartment. "These improvements are just mi nor afnfirs that come unheralded. There are, of -course, tho more Im portant Improvements such aa the pressure gun lubricating system that has banished the dirty grease cups from che chassis; the diso clutch, Duco finish and many refinements that have odded greatly to the omfort of the automobile owner.

BY CEXE COHN NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Jnn 31. Broadway and babies! Cradles and careera! From auch strangely mixed ingre dients a dozen novels of the "modern mother" have been browed. Now they mingle in tho unusual life drama of Mrs. Isabella Allen Grcims, beautiful and talented daugh ter of an aristocratic family. Aud it all comes about because Mcrton Grelms, wealthy real estate man of Philadelphia from whom Mrs. Greims seeks a divorce, has issued the flat challenge of "It can't be done!" Aotlon Started In bringing action for the custody of their two children he declares that "they are being brought up In tho highways and byways of theatrical lifc.'l "What of it?" replies Mrs. Greims. "it's the mother and tho home and not the street address that count. You can give children a gilded pnlaco on tho avenue, but it the mother love and sacrifice are not there what can the children expect? "AH the nation knowa that there are thousands of homes In the rich- est sections of every city where the babies get little or no attention from the mothers. A nurse-maid becomes the mother. The mother trots out to bridge end tea, and the children are lucky if she kisses them good night. And nobody gets excited about it." Tells Her Story Then she told her slory. It woe the talc of an attractive and romantic schoolgirl. Early in life it had been noted that she possessed all unusual singing voice. She c-nme from a mu sical family and was sent to a girl's finishing school in tho south. Then there was n man a marvelous pian ist. The attraction of music brought them together and so. while quite young, she married Merlon Oreims, one of those none-too-common per sons who comhiuc business nnd art. ' Mot he was cruel," she charges. Re that as it may, divorce action was started. Greims sought the custody of the children and Mrs. Greims came to Manhattan, determined to make the fight to the heights of her grand opera nmhitinns nnd at tho sumo time rear the children. Can it he done? Flush upon the "playground of the world" sits the sludio-apnrtment which Isabella Al len Greims selected. Broadway ia hut a stone's throw away. The bright lights glare up at every hand and crowds rush by on their way to tho theaters nnd business. Proof Is Shown "Hut cnioo with me, invited the young mother. "I have said that it could bo done and now I'll prove it. First, remember that the children go to one of tho best privnto schools. Thnt, alone, costs mc ?7o a mouth. I tell you it nil depends upon the mother. But it ia a fine struggle, though a hard one. Already I uuder study an important part in a big operetta. I don't get much money yet but I have to give tho children everything. I haven't had a new dress since I came to New York." By this time she had reached a second floor. There, hidden from the city, wns n nursery with cradles and toys nnd a Christmas tree. "You see anything can happen in New York like O. Henry said,," she smiles. "Oh, yes, It costs mo a lot extra to havo a nursery like this right in the heart of Broadway. But when a mother really cares she can mix cradlea nnd careers. The world Is lesrning that, slowly." But for the cunning Greims kiddies, a court soon will decide whether they can have probably the only "Broad way nursery" in existence.
