Poeture Affects Ease in Riding Qualities of Car It's the way people sit on the back seat that has so much to do with the various opinions they entertain about riding qualities. - If you lounge too mnch on the seat yon are certain to feel the road shocks through your back and shoulders where you are not used to it. The easiest ride can always be had by sitting on the edge of the seat, upright. One reason why the auxiliary seats of a seven-passenger car always seem comfortable is because they make passengers sit upright. Manufacturers have been giving these facts consideration this past «T>«f thte (irnlalM whv some CU:~ ride so much better than others of the same priced class. That Is because the seats are shaped to compel the passenger to sit in the most comfortable position. 1 The Writing _ Game By KING LAKDNER the Editor: foil in letter reed, from 1 of my la Brazil, In<L, exclaims itses Caiiiomia Loadq tfhe state of California Jar exceeds ill ot^er states in recreation visitors, tlidadlng campers, plcnU-kers. transient tourists, hotel and resort guests and those taking apartments on sboft or boarding. 1^ "it takes hardwood to 'wjrtand hard wear." Using Grade Separation to Prevent Accidents Several leading cities in the country are adopting the policy of separating the crosswise motor traffic from the main thoroughfare at busy intersections by elevating or depressing the crosswise thoroughfare. In some cases the grade separation is effected by raising the level of one street slightly and depressing the level of the other so that there is a minimum change of grade at eithg^ thoroughfare. Among the cities which have adopt- ;jpd such improvements are New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis ;%nd San Frinclsce.

Now ho doubt they's a great many people that considered thereself capable of writeing photo plays but couldn't afford to take none of the bigh price correspondents coarses in same and would of always remained a drug In their office or somewheres had you not of came to bat with your low price school. •'Now what I art Is w&y won't you be as thoughtful) of the people that wants to write short stories like yon was to the ctN&s that wanted to writ* for pictures. I have always feel I3ke I bad a «ift for writeing short fictions but don't know nothing about technics, length of stories and etc. and couldn't dig up the price witch is demanded by the correspondents schools for tuition and etc. It seems to me like you are well qualified to learn people the art of story writeing even better than other kinds of writeing because I once read a story of yours in a magazine witch you must of been the editor's brother in taw but still and all it was printed and you probably got payed for same witch is more than you can say in regards to your efforts at photo plays. So will you be so kind and open ur a coarse in short story writeing and give us a idear In these cols, what the secrets and principals is that makes a successful short story fiction writer and I am only 1 of thou sands that will be interested and m«y be subscribe to your school.'* The writer to the above Is not the only party that has come to me with requests along the same lines, and it begins to look like I would be doing a public service was I to comply with their requests along these lines In the first place the average party has got a magazine editor all wrong witch they usually are. They think he is a man that will give everybody a square deal where as the most of them lets their personal feelings and tempermunt get the best of them. The best rule for a new beginner to follow is te 1st get a Idear for a story and then forget the idear and go ahead and write the story out or dictate It to sohiebody that has got a good hand writeing or better yet oue of these new fangie machines called a typewriter that makes it look all most like print. Then put a good suggestive title on the story like for Inst. "Clara's Calves" and then give it to your family to read, and if they say It reads good why It must be good, &&U ii«C next QUrotivu «S *0 It before a magaslne editor snd get a square deal. But 1 of the biggest mistakes f new beginner makes Is to send return stamps along with their manuscript as most of the editors Is air tight and the minute they see' stamps that somebody else has boughten why they can't wait a minute till they use them, and whist, back comes yovr manuscript. I remember once before I become a wise cracker that I sent a stamped self address envelope along with a good story I wrote and the old skin flint shot it back at me pro tem all because he couldn't do nothing else with a addressed envelope with the stamps stuck to it and couldn't i h«ar to see it wasted. Both my sisters read the story I speak of and said It was a pip, and I wished the old Shylock could of heard what they said about him for sending It back. Well then the only way to get a square deal from a editor Is to scrap up a acquaintance with somebody that Is all ready in the writeing game and the editor knows who he is and got respects for him and then you have this bird write a letter for you to send along with the ..manuscript and have him say in the letter that your story Is O. K. and the editor Is a sap If he, don't accept because you bare got a lot of friends that will stop their subscription If Jhat story cones back. - So much for how to get a square deal after your story Is wrote. As for the writeing itself a good many new beginners falls down because they try and wlrte their story without the right atmosphere to work in. I can't give no advise on this subject as different authors demands different working conditions. For inst. they Rupert K. Hughes can't write a line uatett the water 1s running in the bathtub and Fannie Hurst won't attempt to work without the room Is full of sardine cans where as when the editor wants a story out of Mrs. Uinehart they get somebody to stand and snap a rubber bank at her neck. Personly I never feel comfortable at u»y desk unlest they's a dozen large rats packed on my ft. These Inst will give you a idear of how differ ent tempermunts affects different writers but, as I say. each writer has to choose for himself what tempermunf tu have and I might advise yo« lo try writeing in a public garage where as yon might do your bent wotfc setting in a eel trap.
