ALL ON THE DRIER SIDE OF BRITAIN SEKVED BY LNER till your engine complains -check Carbon in advance Carbon increases knocking fuel consumption and the expense of keeping a car in condition It decreases power the pleasure of driving and finally wears out an engine before its time So carbon if it has accumulated must be removed But the simple easy way to avoid the annoyance and the expense of carbon is to standardize on Shell Petrol as fuel and Shell Oil as lubricant because excess carbon results only from poor petrol or poor oil Shell Petrol is blended to be consumed completely in the combustion chamber thus avoiding oil dilution which is a frequent cause of carbon Shell Oil has been proved by repeated practical and scientific engine tests to be as much as 100 superior to other oils on this point Carbon is not a necessary evil Avoid it by standardizing on Shell Petrol as fuel and Shell Oil as lubricant I Motor OilgjjgJ and Petrol yr Cartotv THE PRANCING CRAZE SOLOMON for all his wisdom confessed that there were lour thing's he could not understand If he were alive to-day he would probably have to admit that in addition to being unable to comprehend the way of an eagle in the air the way of a serpent upon a rock the way of a ship in the midst of the sea and the way of a man with a maid he was equally baffled by the way of a dancer in a ballroom The reflection is prompted by the news which comes from Paris that all eyes and feet will shortly be turned to the Banana The Charleston it is stated is already a creed and the Black Bottom died in its infancy for which we should be duly grateful But we are still threatened i by the weird Heebie and on top of this promised infliction comes the tidings that the newest the Banana Glide is likely to be a great draw when its movements arc explained and illustrated at the International Congress of Dance Teachers to be held in the (Jay City towards the end of this month Tliis latest affront to Terpsichore we are told resembles the Charleston in some respects and also depicts the contortions of a couple slipping on a banana-skin Exactly how faithful the representation will be is not disclosed but those who are not stirred to enthusiasm at the prospect may feel that if a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing thoroughly and that it would he better to strew the floor with real instead of imaginary specimens of the slippery skins In this way the movements could be followed to their logical conclusion the performers could pride themselvdi on the fact that in their quest for realism they were not doing things by halves and those who are old-! fashioned enough to believe that i dignity and grace are virtues that i should still be cultivated in the ball-! room could derive unholy but not altogether unjustifiable satisfaction from the probability that a few broken limbs if not necks could be counted upon to thin the ranks of the devotees of the new craze by putting some of them temporarily out of action besides acting as a deterrent to other misguided interpreters of the light fantastic Seriously it is to be wondered whether the present vogue of ungraceful acrobatics in place of the old style of dancing is merely a passing phase that will eventually be superseded by a return to sanity or whcthcP it has really come to stay It is hard to believe that the latter will prove to be the case but faith in the good sense of humanity is a trifle shaken by the vagaries and the popularity of the modern dance At any rate the word nowadays is a misnomer It should be altered

on which our society is built that a pic-in )aily to-day car a waterproof or a weed-killer the representation of a pretty girl using it is understood to make everybody believe they must do likewise The assumption of course is without relation to the human reason" But in this interesting world people do not act on reason and the mass of evidence that there is nothing on a poster so compelling as a girl is overwhelming Only now is its validity being challenged An American woman with the too rare distinction of being an expert both in honse-keeping and advertising is teaching how wc may improve in both these arts" But in the wisdom of America it is already an axiom that no practical housewife will ever buy anything advertised by a pretty it will put her off at once' There is a cynical tone abont this which saddens us which we should never have expected from the great boms of 4 4 4 4 4 Pink Vogue Continue Those women so fortunate as to he attending the first Court are setting to work in earnest on the important matter of selecting an appropriate gown for the occasion says a woman gossip So far as debutantes are concerned palest pink appears to be the favourite colour for a Court gown Some choose white but this on the whole appears to be the most popular with the younger married women A white gown is usually the background for handsome embroidery diamante being the most 4 4 4 4 4 Marjorie Bowen Play It is the ambition of every novelist to write plays if only because a successful play is more remunerative than even a best seller So Marjorie Bowen has written a light comedy called Interruptions which was put on to-night by the Interlude Theatre Guild in the curious little Blackfriars theatre attached to Lever House on the Embankment" says the London correspondent of the "Liverpool Post" It is written round the sort of people who want always to dodge the big hard things of life' There is the teifish middle-aged Miss Friske living luxuriously in a flat with a lap dog of a footling young composer hanging round her And there is her selfish ineffective young niece who thinks of marrying a rich middle-aged bachelor But just as he proposes she thinks better of it and pairs off with the young composer to rough it in Australia leaving the middle-aged man to her aont" way But it is open to doubt in the minds of many people whether the possession of fast ears by the police will give them that superiority over the bandit which is necessary The police should not bo handicapped for want of some means of coping with criminals who use oars but the great difficulty lies not so much in the matter of speed as in the time and place A foot constable is usually within a few yards of any raid in a city street but police cars cannot be unless there is to be one for every constable in any area likely to be the scene of a raid hardlv a feasible proposition Even with the employment of twenty cane in London as is suggested as a trial tiie chances of a car being in a position to take up a chase immediately are infinitely in favour of the bandit If I were one I would take the risk without a qualm WHITEWASH SUGGESTION But it will be said what is the alternative Cordons of police have proved to be of 1)0 avail and it is not fair to ask constables to run the risk of being killed in attempts to stop ears A retired officer has suggested that there should be no cordon or barrier in the accepted sense but that policemen warned of the approach of a should spray it and its occupants with whitewash from hoses so tliat it would I be mniked by all others on the road and eventually held up An ingenious idea but hardly practicable Supposing the wrong car were sprayed? Action for damages would certainly follow if not an actual accident It seems that a better plan would be to prevent criminals becoming possessed of cars Motor bandits almost invariably I use stolen cars The universal adoption of devices for preventing thefts from porks or from the kerbside would cut off the supply of cars And the making of registration a really nseful institution instead of a time-wasting formalitv as it is at present would be a method of ensuring that ears were not in criminal hands in the cases where they see not stolen but lent or for the purposes -of committing offences Admittedly this would not be very easy but non Id be better surely than the remote chances of police cars being available and the consequent wild chase reminiscent of the cheaper variety of film play A club A diamond Heart A spade Four Army Clubs the game is made 1 BABY SUFFERED WITHRASH On Lower Part of Body Was Restless and Fretful Cuticura Healed baby girl suffered with an irritating rash that appeared on the lower part of her body Later little water blisters formed which made her very restless and fretful both day and night It must have itched badly becaussahe waa always trying to scratch tgBtself I sent for free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment After using it 1 purchased more and in less than a fortnight she was completely Signed) Mrs Potter 164 High Rd Willesden Green LondoffN 10 Eng Use CBticura Soap Ointment and Talcmattgolarly for every -day toilet Sm1(W lIUMMifcltTlllTOh i 1M rh -dfow nntKj a 6cm Uo Sknin Stick la 3d burners BAKING ensures successful and economical baking looking for one outside of London Guest and host withdrew to the study and iu a few minutes the deal was settled Sir John had lived there for about 15 4 4 4 4 4 An English Canberra Candidas in th North Mail wants us to take a leaf out of book and supply oureelves with an English Canberra shall it be?" he asks In the heart of England W'hich Mr Baldwin has eulogised so eloquently?
