Grace Drew Attempts Late |
Parisian Fad and Surprises
Even Auto Man.
Grace Drew, the pleasing actress of I
"Alma. Where Do You Live?" anti
"Chocolate Soldier" fame, and adopted ;
the latent Parisian rage— that of paint- i
Ing- her dog to match her gowns. Not |
only her dog, but her automobile n«
well, tftie says, should be In harmony.
While in Atlanta last week she
promenaded through the atreeta with
her dog painted in black and white
stripes and wearing a dress of the
same pattern.
Manager Smith of the Oakland com
pany in Atlanta, seeing and remember
ing her, asked the lady to take a ride
In an OaklaixS. “What are you trying
to do, Miss Drew"" asked Smith.
"What’s the idea?”
"Why, this is the very latest fad,”
replied Alma. "Heretofore we have
gone out to walk or drive without the
slightest attempt to dross appropriate
ly. Now. Imagine the awful contrast
of colors between a green dre»s, a
brown dog and a yellow motor car.
"The proper way for any one with
an artistic eye ie to make the colors
of the three blend in pleasing harmony.
Now, take this Oakland car for In
stance. It just happens to tit tn with
my costume, because it is black with
nickel trimmings. My dog and gown
are black and white, so don't you see
the reasoning’’
"If the car were green, my gown
should be green and the dog painted
In some color that will harmonize, not
necessarily green, but an effect that
■will not be in contrast. I am much
happier and my rides are more enjoy
able when I am not guilty of commit-
Inga color crime "
Miss Drew is shown posing with her
dog and Oakland car.
ENGLAND'S ROADS
ARE PERFECT. SAYS
FORD MOTOR MAN
Nowhere are there roads better than on
the British Isles, according to P. L D.
Perry, manager of the Manchester fac
tory of the Ford Motor Company, who hns
been spending a few weeks at the Detroit
factory
"The good roads of England and Scot
land are famed the world over," declared
Mr. Perry ’’ln Ireland the roads are not
•o good, but there they are better than
those in the United States.
"Through long and persistent work the
unexcelled roads on the isles have been
laid. Each separate community Is re
sponsible for Its own roads and each
takes pride in their condition
"A recent help to good road main
tenance is the spending of the entire au
tomobile tax on the roads. The taxes on
the care are high, too It costs the owner
of a Ford S3O per year There also is a
tax of .06 per gallon on gasoline With
the money collected from these taxes and
some additional appropriations there never
is a deficiency in the fad Improvement
treasury
"The tax is levied on the theory that
automobiles are the hardest on the roads
and therefore should pay the most t< ward
their upkeep
"English roads are practically dustless 1
and have been ao for several years As
rapidly as possible tarred macadam sm - i
facing is being laid You can travel all
day on one of these roads without look '
Ing like a helper in a flour mill when you I
finish your journey.”

WOMAN SELECTS
THE MOTOR CARS
Local Hudson Dealer Says the
Ladies Are the Real Buyers
of Automobiles.
That the woman of the family decides
the purchase of three out of every four
automobiles sold in this city was the
statement made by J. YV. Goldsmith, Jr.,
the Hudacn dealer, today.
"The history of three out of four of
our sales is about as follows,” said Mr.
Goldsmith. "The man in the household
narrows down the choice to two or three
automobiles, which he believes to be me
chanically right. Almost invariably, at
this point the woman of the household
is brought into the prospective purchase,
by reason of her good judgment relative
to automobile beauty, comfort and con
venience.
"Women like beauty in connection with
a car, and more thoroughly appreciate
that beauty when it is achieved in a sim
ple manner. This is one of the points
for which the Hudson has considerable
reputation, for the simplicity of its lines
is worthy of the attention they have
attracted.
"The long, beautiful, harmonious lines
of the new Hudson 37 have aroused such
enthusiasm on the part of women that, in
a number of instances, the Hudson's
beauty has been the deciding factor in
the purchase.
"Another point that is particularly at
j tractive to women is the easy riding qual
l ities of the car, and in this connection the
L2-inch Turkish type upholstery of the
Hudson has decided purchases in this
car’s favor.
“Thousands of women are driving
Hudsons in all sections of the United
States, because of the extraordinary re
sponsiveness of the car.
"A woman's judgment in selecting an
automobile —one that she will be proud
to ride in—is usually sound, and I feel
that the male head of the house Is wont
to take her advice.”
