Ing from a beautiful garden, it is >a
pretty brick cottage where Janies
Megenth was wont to while away his
summer afternoons. When one of the
home's boys becomes ill he'll be re
ceived to Its luxurious bosom.
If he is not ungrateful and re
sponds by getting well, mnyhe they’ll
let him run two blocks down the
street to a tract of eight blocks that
the Megeaths threw in for good meas
ure. It will be the playgrounds.
Kxcept for the connection to the
garage, or dormitory-to-be. the big
home was found almost ideally suit
ed to boyish needs. Rut when Mr.
Megeath built it he dldr* t figure, ap
parently, on having to keep clean the
faces and hands of 27 to 100 boys and
did not install erjough wash basins.
That has been corrected by digging a
basement room and installing wash
basins and shower baths and lockers.
Boys IJko Grown-ups.
Someone hag libeled youth.
"The boys are like grown-ups." de
clared J. H. Noble, superintendent of
the home. "Some keep clean without
a bit of urging, but there are others
who emulate untidy adults. Two long
rows of basins pressage the dtfeat
of dirt, nevertheless "
The home contains an amusement
room ar. 1 has an excellent library, al
ready well supplied with Juvenile
bonks of a general range.
In the library Is a big picture of
Ceorge W. Megeath. "How did that
thing get there?" he is said to have
asked when he saw It. Masons could
not get a picture from him, but one
came from "somewhere."
The home Is for homeless boys at
large, not particularly for the sons of
beige members. Some of the guests
are sent by Juvenile court; others are
recommended by Masons.
For Homeless Hoys Only.
"The only fixed rule." Superintend
ent Noble said, “is that a boy must
be homeless. A youth with a home
can't come In to crowd out one really
In need of help."

Why Jetoett never “stalls,”
“jerks” nor clashes Gears
OU can change gears in a Jewett as fast as
you can move your hand — or as slowly as
you please. No “clash” is heard—and you never
“miss.” You can even drop from “high” to
“second” at 30 miles an hour. Let up the clutch
pedal as fast as you can move your foot, and
Jewett neither jerks nor kills its motor.
Such superb tandling ease comes largely from
the new Paige-type Jewett clutch. Its driven
member weighs less than 3 Ja pounds, one-third
the usual weight. So it stops spinning instantly
—adjusts itself tospeed changes quickly—helps
you change gears. And the six clutch springs
instead of one, and twice the friction surface
of the ordinary clutch, give the smooth, gradual
engagement which prevents jerking or motor
stalling. Please try Jewett’s ease yourself.

That comfortable feeling of safety is one of the
prime factors in the Packard owner’s deep
satisfaction. t
Such complete reliance is something that money
alone cannot buy. For back of the product itself,
there must be experience, tried engineering skill,
and the highest manufacturing ideals.
A safe car must have brakes of the utmost effici
ency. Packard Single-Six brakes operate with the
minimum of effort. There is positive action with
out jerking or screeching, whether running light
or fully loaded.
As with brakes, so with every other part. Standards
of safety built into the Single-Six have been devel
v oped through twenty-four years of practical experi
ence in which every engineering and structural
feature has been put to the severest possible test.
