Winter, driving. Right now all wise car owners are getting their cars in condition, for the Winter. Operation of cors in Ottawa and district in Winter is a special problem, and it is interesting td note figures wheh show the number of cars which operate during this season.

In Ottawa, there saxe about 25.000 carsond trucks, and of both" types in" the district outside there is approximately the same number, making a grand total for the city and district of about 50.000. More than 104)00 cars and trucks operated in Ottawa last Winter, and about the same number in the adjacent territory. This year it is expected that the figures will reach 15,000 in the city and about equal numbers in the district. Very Active Season.

Then again these Winter drivers will have to face the problem of Winter storage. If they own heated garages they will still need the dealer and the service man, but they will not need him quite a much as' those less fortunate ones who keep (heir cars In un-heated garage. It is estimated that there are more than 2.000 people keeping cars In unhealed places. These will need special Winter servicing and all kind of devices to fight the battle' against frost 'Tires, too, must be considered and chains. Few people realize that In seven years there has been a 100 percent improvement in ef- flciency in both these articles.

Even seven years, ago chains frequently to entirely carry cool, out their function, and tires, while a fine quality, did not in any way compare with those of today which are specially conditioned to Win ter driving. BaUerlee Need Attention. Batteries, too, are amongst immediate problems. Additional plates are required for Winter driving and these plates have become somewhat of a problem when heavier duties imposed come to be considered. The desirability of safety glass for the protection of your family is another particular essential for Winter driving and Ottawa dealers arc particularly well supplied with the latest and best qualities for windshields and other parts of the car.

And, while Iking of windshields, wipers are a consideration of particular moment in a climate like ours. A consideration which should be of the utmost importance to all drivers who want to have security and comfort in Winter driving, is the quality of the oil used. Any motorist who uses a cheap, poor oil will soon make a cheap, poor car. An oil with a poor base would mean within a very short time a general Impairment of the whole mechanism of the car, and that includes cars of all prices. Fortunately Ottawa servicemen are well prepared to service your car with all the better brands of oil, but one of the most Important points is to see that a general lubrication of the car with the proper types of grease and oil is put into effect in the early Fall and kept up throughout the Winter.

The Mala Objective. The big object of people now is to make every effort to insure comfort and proper service from their care for the Winter months, and by generous use of the splen did facilities afforded by service men and accessory dealers to really enjoy the unusual comfort of fcing able to drive a well-conditioned car "throughout ouT long Winter season. Blue Dominates New Car Colors Memories of the glamor and pomp of the Coronation festivi ties. present-day fondness for chromium, glass bricka and sparkling jewelry, "cellophane" coverings, highly polished woods and the trend in modern architecture and interior decoration have fundamentally been the guiding factors in the selection of colors for 1938 by leading motor car manufacturers. Scintillation and clear-toned shades are influences brought into action by sales departments quicken acceptance of the new models, which will officially make their bow to Lthe public at the forthcoming motor shows.

The new cars will display colors in a wide variety of shades to suit every taste, according to "Duco" color experts and the selection has been made by sales executives not on the basis of color presentation originated by European producers or created by leading Parisian stylists, but very definitely with due regard to Canadian preferences in the interpretation of color values, with the result that pleasing developments in the principal hues of the spectrum will harmoniously support distinction in body lines and design. Blue, in many variations, dominates the range of colors for 1938 models; and among the variations Riviera Blue, Ensign Blue and Caribbean Blue will create con siderable Interest Red and Green developments come next In order of numerical Importance. Among these hue classifications Corona tion Maroon, Royal Maroon and Windsor Green merit special mention. Prospective buyers who prefer light colors that lend an air of fleetness to the car will find in Sun Ray Tan, Antique Tan and Wren Building Tan ahades to satisfy their Individual In the neutral colors Buckingham Grey, Chinchilla Grey and Iridium Grey will be favorites with, ladles who desire a car having a finish in a subdued tone that will not clash with the most daring ensemble In wearing appareL VeWKK TOUKISTS.

Maids Tell Them About Jobs LONDON. (CP) The latest development in the campaign to encourage girls to go In for domestic service and Incidentally solve a problem that, is worrying Ernest Brown, Minister of Labor, is to have the servants tell the mistresses exactly what is wrong with the way they run things. Florence Da vies, 22 -year -old cook, addressed the Women's Liberal Federation at Margate. Her chief complaints, speaking for her fellow domestics, were: Long hours, lack of Independence, bad living conditions particularly in old houses with out-of-date basement kitchens, and bad food. She suggested that employes, should receive references from employers.

"Why," she questioned, "should servants be expected to go into households they know nothing about?" One group of seven young women arrived in London ready to put up with peculiar living conditions, however. They slept fully clothed on camp beds between rows of goat-pens at the Royal Agricultural Hall. Islington, dur ing the 59tn London Dairy Show which goats were among the competitors. The girls had to be up at dawn to milk the goats and sleep under lights on all night, but they insisted "It was rather fun," and even cooked their own meals on gas rings. PORTAGE MARKED.

Just 60 years ago thia week Peter Gorman and hia the late Jerry Gorman, made their first ap pearance on the stage, as a dancing team and began a career of 23 years before the footlights, during which the two well-known Ottawa brothers toured the Continent an Irish song and dance act that reached its climax when, at Philadelphia in 1885, they carried off the clog dancing championship of America. It was as far back as November, 1877, that the Gorman Brothers made their debut as a team with the Holman Opera Company, although Peter Gorman had finished the previous season on the road with E. A.

Gorman will be remembered by most Ottawa people as manager of the old Russell Theatre for 19 years, and the occasion of his 60th anniversary of his appearance with the Holman Opera Company brings back memories of the old days at the Russell. During his term as manager Mr. Gorman was responsible for bringing to Ottawa some of the most outstanding stars the world has ever known. These included: Sir Henry Irving, Sarah.

The Argus draws the conclusion the swing step as danced in London is a very modi-fled version of the same movement demonstrated by Mr. Jacques for the benefit of enthusiasts at the Cape. The paper quotes this from London: The swing dance is new, although many of us have danced it willy-nilly, before it was officially invented or recognized. There Is movement in it in the same sense that there is movement in the swing beloved of children the swing which, attached to an overhead branch, goes to and fro in a strictly-limited space.
