A grinning chubby oriental man. He had been sent from the Orient. The Chinese thought him a lucky idol. Mike Riley, to whom it had been sent, looked at It and In a disgusted tone said, "Well fella. If you are lucky, start throwing some of it my way. 1 could sure use a little luck." In his present jobless state and with but ( few coins In his pocket, he was at a loss as to his next move He had come in from a day of useless seeking. Once a big time actor and now a has been. TIot a part to be hnd anywhere. Hit agent had been handing him that line and he hadn't believed him. He found out for himself today. A big shot till the old demon rum had taken hold. A habitual alcoholic was his title now. Once it had leaked out that he was unreliable and he was through. It had cost dearly before he had awakened to the truth. Hit wife had stuck It out at long as she could. "Where were Ann and Debbie now?" Back to Indiana or some out of the way place. The mirror In back of the Chinese figure reflected the picture of a man In hit mid-thirtie- s. Tall and handsome holding a glass of liquid. Seeing himself as though for the first time, he heaved the glass at the mirror. Memories of his Dad's advice floated back to him. "Son, when you can't look at yourself In a mirror, it it time to change." Grabbing up the lucky piece he said, "Well funny man, If I'm to change I'd better get started. Since the day you entered my life, I've woke up a bit. If that be luck, and I suppose It Is. I'll need some dough to start with. You, my silly grinning friend along with my watch shall visit Friendly Sam. I wouldn't pay a dollar for you but Sam likes oddities." Entering the haphazard shop of Sam, he noticed a customer ahead of him. A young woman. "Poor kid," he thought," down on her luck too. She was pawning a ring and giving Sam a bad time hag-gling over price. Funny, she re-minded him of Ann. He couldn't see her face. Her deal completed, she turned to go. It was Ann. What was she doing here? He'd sent her money. She hadn't used it. Proud, capable Ann. Independent to the end. "You've got old Chitig there. Surely you're not going to sell him." Chlng had always been a symbol of hope between them. Fortelling good luck. If only around the cor-ner. "Yep, he hasn't been lucky for me. Everything has (one haywire since you left. I need some dough to start over and figured that Mr. Chlng might finally prove his worth." ' "But Mike, you've got money. I never touched the checks you sent. There must be a couple of thousand in the bank. You were always so generous with money. I went back to work and made my own." "That was the only decent thing I've ever done for you." . Mike sounded apolegetlc and hurt. "Why didn't you use it? You and Deb took to much guff from me. I never really blamed you for leav-ing. To see you here pawning your ring hurts." r Ann spoke slowly, as though choosing her words. "Mike, I knew that someday you would wake up. When you did I wanted you to have the money for a fresh start. I've read the trade papers and knew you were on the skids. I knew that someday we would have a chance to start over." , "We"? Mike couldn't believe his ears. "We! You mean you and Deb? You'll take me back? "Yes," Ann said. "Remember the vow we took? Till death do us part. I have never forgotten It." Sam an interested bystander had been listening and at the same time had been examining Mr, Chlng. "Sorry Sam. Mr. Ching Is an im-portant member of our family." ' i v v iff V. S. MOTHICR . . .

Now, too, is the time to get the family car all set for warm weather. We just saw a survey report that 56 of the time it's the women who take the family car in to be serviced. So if this is up to you, here are some things to talk over with your dealer or garage man. II you have been using permanent anti- - freeze, it is recommend-e-d that you have it drained and the cool? ing system flashed after the winter's use. Under to have your entire car checked over carefully. At this time both brake pedal and clutch pedal (if you have standard transmis-sion) should be adjusted. Replace Oil Filter Have the oil changed to sum-mer- weight, and have a thor-ough lubricating job done. Re-place the oil filter to keep the new oil clean. Windshield wiper blades should be adjusted, and re-placed, if necessary. Brakes should receive special attention if they are not func-tioning properly and safely. Head light beams should be checked and adjusted.. If you have an automatic type transmission, the oil in that should be checked. The entire electrical system should be examined. And tires ought to be rotated to equalize wear and increase their life. With a little spring-tim- e at-tention and care, your car will be ready to serve you at its very best for spring and summer driving., (Fashion writer, artiet, and TV personality, Miss Chapman is a native of Detroit and kai spent the laH several years working with automobile stylists, design-ers and engineers at Chrysler Corporation.) mim chapman some condi-tions it is possible to use the solution for more than one sea-son by draining it in spring and storing it carefully. But it should not remain in the radiator all summer as it wears thin under summer driving conditions and may lose its rust preventive qualities. This may cause your radiator to rust and develop cracks. Drain Alcohol Alcohol (the "non-permane-anti- freez- e) must definitely be drained in spring, or it will boil away in hot weather. So be sure to check your anti-free- situa-tion. May is a good month for this in most states. - ' w In climates where anti-free-solutions are unnecessary, the cooling system of the car should be flushed out twice a year. A rust preventive is good for all , radiators at spring time. Usually spring is a good time |
