J . dog left THE v 2 OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1931 PAGE NINE YOWLER LOSES HIS TEMPER A Manip means more, you'll i . It means the loss of peace of mind. --QIld Mother Nature. Yowler the Bobcat had been having poor hunting. This meant that he was hungry most of the time. Winter is always hard on Yowler, for at this season, when he really needs food most in order to make body warmth, it is most difficult to obtain. Old Mother Nature has given him a warm fur coat in which to defy Jack Frost, so he does manage to keep fairly comfortable, except for being hungry most of the time. « This day Yowler had left home earlier than usual ,partly because he was hungrier than usual. There is little use in trying to sleep when one's stomach is continually remind- ing you that it wants something in it and wants it soon. So Yowler had started out hunting at an earlier hour than usual. At first he had no luck at all Then he caught a Mouse. This was hardly more than a bite, but it was something. It whetted Yowler's appetite, He started back toward the big brush pile under which he had chas- ed Peter Rabbit a few days bef\re. He didn't expect to find Peter there, but there was no knowing. One of Peter's relatives might be there or somewhere near it. A brush pile is a good place to hunt around. There is no knowing what or who you may find there. Finally he came to a thicket. Light! foot the Deer had been lying down there and had leaped to his feet and bounded away in a. hurry, Plainly he had been badly frightened. "Now what could have given Light- foot such a fright?" wondered Yow- ler, as with his nose and eyes he tried to read the story in the snow. Then Yowler suddenly. drew back wi a snarl. He had found out what had given Lightfoot such a ¢ fright. A heavy person had plunged through that thicket, breaking down some of the young growth and leav- ing great footprints in the snow. "Buster Bear as I'm alive!" ex- claimed Yowler. ' 'Now what has brought that fellow out I would like to know. e was in quite as much of a hurry as Lightfoot, to judge by the signs." . Yowler forgot his hunger for the time being., Curiosity will make folks forget almost anything. Yowler nev- er had been more curious than he was now. He had long known that Buster Bear had taken that big brush pile for his winter home. In fact, he had known just where Buster had made his bed, and whenever he had visited that brush pile Yowler had taken the greatest: care not to dis- turb Bustef. And now Buster had been awakened and frightened so that he had left in a tearing hurry Once Yowler had reached the brush pile it didn't take him long to find out what had happened. His nose told him. Yes, sir, his nose told him. . You see, the scent of Flip the Terrier and Farmer Brown's Bov was not yet cold. "A boy and a dog," muttered Yow- ler, looking all about him suspicious- ly. "A boy and a small dog. 1 would like to catch that small dog alone." He licked his lips. "That in a hurry. Everybody around here seems to have left in a hurry. That boy started off in a hurry, but he ~ot over it pretty quick." Yowler was following the tracks of Farmer Brown's Boy and had come to the place where the latter had stopped running and turned to watch Buster: Bear. : "It was Farmer Brown's Boy," muttered Yowler. "Well, there is no use in following him. I wonder where Buster, Bear has gone. I wish he would leave the Green Forest. 'I hope he will." few minutes later Yowler had a bit of luck. He surprised and caught one of Peter Rabbit's grown-up chil- dren who had left home long ago, so long ago in fact that Peter didn't even know what had become of him. Yowler decided to take his prize home, so picking it up he started for the ledges. He was teeling in high spirits now and he continued to all the way home, Then, when he reach- ed the doorway of his home, he lost his temper completely. He dropped his dinner and screeched with anger. Can you guess why? (Copright, 1931, T. W. Burgess) The next story: "A Fair Ex- change."

In spite of the ab- normally low sale of new cars, total registrations amounted to 12229, representing an increase over 1929 o 45393 units. Of the total registra- tions, 1,056,078' were passenger cars and 166,854 commercial cars. In« creases in both passenger and com- mercial cars were shown in eight out of the nine provinces, the exception being Saskatchewan, where an apar- ent decrease of 1,309 units is shown on available figures. Of all the prov- inces showing gains, Ontario heads the list, with an increase of 22,068 re- gistrations, BLACKS AND BLUES MOST POPULAR A great race between colors in the popular style shades for automobile 1s now 1n progress, with black and blue vying for first honors, and the dark horse, maroon, running a close third after a sensational climb from sixth and last place. It is interesting to note how these color trends are determined. Color gallonage statis- tics are used in compiling the color trends and are secured from reports representing the number of gallons used for each color in poduction of automobiles each month. The figures are pooled and forwarded to statisti- cal bureau for tabulation by means of a special formula which enables the index to portray the relative pop- ularity of prominent color families used in automobile industry. The in- dex determines the exact relation that each bears to the other and their relative progression. NEW CONNECTING ROD BEARING Twelve thousand times a minute each connecting rod bearing of an automobile engine is under pressure when the car is being driven at ap- proximately 60 miles an hour. These strains, in addition to frictional stress demand the highest quality of mater- ials and workmanship in the manu- facture of bearings. What is believ- ed to be one of the latest and best methods is used in the manufacture of the 1931 Oldsmobile wherein the danger of air bubbles or weak spots forming in the babbit with which the bearing is lined, is eliminated. The connecting rod is fastened to a wheel with the large bearing of the rod locked in the centre of the wheel. The correct amount of babbit is fore- ed into the bearing and, as the rod revolves 1,100 times a minute, the babbit is thrown by centrifugal force to its proper position. epeated tests on the General Motors. proving grounds, some of which include hun- dreds of miles at ton speed driviin~, reveals that this new method pro- duces better and longer wearing bear- ings. McLAUGHLIN-BUICK LEADS During the five month period from the time it introduced its present line of Straight Eight models in the last week of July, 1930, until the end of the year, the Buick Motor Company sold one and a hall times more Straight Eight cars than its nearest competitor sold during the entire 12 months of 1930. And because of the recent announcement that the pre- sent 1931 McLaughlin-Buick Straigl.t Eights will be continued through the summer and fall months this year in- stead of being replaced with a new line in August, General Motors ex- ecutives expect the McLaughlin- Buick sales figures during the com- ing spring months will exceed the figures for the same months of last year, 'CARS ARE EARTHQUAK! PROOF Automobiles are cited as "admir- able earthquake-proof buildings" by Dr. T. A. Jagger, American volcano expert, as a result of personal experi- ences during the 1929 earthquake in Hawaii. In a recent announcement Dr. Jagger describes how he happen- ed to be driving his motor car to visit a friend when the earthquake took place. On arriving at the friend's house he was astonished to find the inhabitants in great excitement and the house partly ruined. A violent shock had occurred while the doctor was motoring, yet in spite of his long experience as an earthquake observer he had felt nothing. "Even when not in motion," Dr. Jagger reports, "a | sedan on springs and rubber tires produces almost no sensation during a quake, while homes may rattle and roar with the aftershocks." "Dur- ing earthquakes that followed," he stated, "many people left their homes and slept in their motor cars. DENIES CHANGE IN CAR TARIFFS TO COST JOBS OF THOUSANRS "On an average, every person buy- ing an imported automobile has been depriving some Canadian workman of $1%, in labor." This interesting sta- tement was made recently by R. S. McLaughlin, President of General Motors of Canada Limited, in reply to the claim that several thousan men will be thrown out of work as as a result of the government's deci- sion to change the tariff protection on imported cars. As proof of his statement, Mr, McLaughlin cited the evidence given before the Tariff Ad- visory board last year, which indi- cated that on an average the dis- bursement for labor for each car, transferred from foreign to Canadian manufacturer, would support one family for from three to four months, "If the presept tariff succeeds in di- verting the bulk of business from American to Canadian manuf: it is obviously going to benefit Cana- dian employment," he said. "All that the Canadian manufacturers want 1s competition on a fair basis." "We would welcome additional manufactur ers to this country." "Every assist- ance would be given them to facili- tate their establishment in the Dom- on a wierking. basis," "Our Association has agreed to put any new concern in touch with pro- per sources of sypply." "The reason that General Motors and other firms lieve in disbursing our expenditures in thg territory where people are supporting us by buying the cars." "The American makers, who sell cars in Canada, should be willing to do the same, instead of merély dumping their excess production in this coun- trv to the benefit of workers in Un- ited States factories APPLE AND CRANBERRY FILLING Put enough apples and cranberries through the food chopper to make a cupful of each and add a half cup of sugar (more or less to suit taste).
