wATsoN's DISCOVERY.
Hopes by It to Build Fastest Yacht
Ever Constructed.

Glasgow, Nov THE Associated
Press understands that in the Shamrock
III. will be embodied some radical de-
partures In the matter Of yacht construc-
ton which have not appeared in any pre-
vious challenger.
These changes are said to be due to
an accidental discovery made during the
trials of the Shamrock I. and the Sham
rock H., which convinced designer Wat
son that there had been a fundamental
error In the construction of all the re-
cent ehallengers. This discovery was
made too late to admit OF the remodeling
of the Shamrock H., but when it's nature
was explained to Sir Thomas Upton II
had great weight in deciding him to try
for the Americas cup third time.
Both designers Fife and Watson are
convinced that they possess solid data
upon which they will be able to build a
They are certain that they have evolved
an idea which affects the whole theory

Chicago Post
Times have sadly degenerated In la
belle France. When the noble Marquis
de What do you call him swept the face
Of the plebeian M. Richard with his aris-
tocratic glove. it was UP to the common
er to put his hand on his heart. exclaim
Monsieur has insulted me- and retire
for the necessary arrangements. But In
stead M. Richard promptly kicked the
noble marquis Whereupon the marquis,
amazed by this breach Of etiquette re-
marked significantly: You know what
you should do" As for M. Richard s
knowledge in this emergency we cannot
answer. but we know what he should do;
he should kick him again. II the people
of France had kicked a few marQuises
during the reign OF Louis XIV there would
have been no revolution, and II a few
more sturdy French gentlemen will firm
ly and conscientiously kick the overbear-
ing fellows who insult them, the French
duel will come to an unregrettable end
The kick Is mightier than the sword. par
ticuarly the French kick. which is high

Henrv,s Aftability at Home.

Prince Henry is as affable In Germany
as he was in America. He likes to travel
incognito. and on his automobile trips he
often has amusing adventures. On re.
cent trip to Marmstadt he stopped at
Verden to buy forty-two pounds of BEN
zine. The young man who served him
was so much pleased with his manners
that he offered him a cigar, which the
Prince accepted with thanks. At EIol-
zendorf the automobile needed water. and
the Prince took a bucket and helped to
fll it. (The Berlin Tageblatt prints this
fact in italics) Then he stopped at a
tavern, shared his sandwiches with the
hosts children, talked Dutch with the
hostess. and on parting got from her a
bunch of roses with the injunction to
place them In water as soon as he got
home.
The average French person uses six
pounds OF soap in a year; the averag
English person uses ten pounds.
