AUTOMOBILES CARRY MAIL.
Their Efficiency Demonstrated by
Iriala Made In MiciiQan.

A series of extensive experiments
with the automobile in the free rural
mail delivery service, which has just
been completed in Lenawee county.
Michigan, seems to remove whatever
doubt has existed as to the practical
bility of adopting motor vehicles on
routes which defy the horse.
These tests extended oyer a period
of one month and the routes covered
varied in length from ten miles to
twenty-nine miles. The weather was
at times very bad, the snow was often
from six to eight inches deep and
much ice was encountered.
Yet, notwithstanding such adverse
conditions, the report of Postmaster
Priddy, who supervised the tests,
shows that on the twenty-nine mile
route the time required to make 125
stops for delivery and fifty-nine "pick-
ups during which approximately 500
pieces of mail matter were handled,
was less than four hours. or about one
half that occupied by the carrier with
his horse. The amount of fuel con-
sumed was only nominal.
Postmaster Priddy says that the peo-
pie along the routes. whose attitude
toward the automobile heretofore had
not been friendly, came to regard the
machines with admiration, and he be-
lieves that all that is necessary to al.
lay the sentiment of unfriendliness to
ward automobiles now existing among
our rural citizens is to demonstrate
to them the machines immense advan
tage over their four-footed contempo-
raries.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

One thing Is certain, you must get
your regular allowance of sleep and
get it every night If you are to keep
up. In old Chicago. remember, a
night without more than an hour or
two of sleep made no great difference.
But here loss of sleep makes itself
felt at once. And one requires a
little more sleep than in higher lati
tudes. Fortunately, the nights are
always cool: there Is never loss of
sleep because of hot nights.
You have heard Hawaii called the

stay here long enough to meet all the
people he has ever known, no mat

l,Iiterate Immigrants.

The following is the percentage of
illiterates among various classes who
come to the United States: Scandi-
nayian, O.G; English. IL; Irish, 3.2;
German, Al; Magyar, rs; Hebrew,
23.6: Polish, 37.5; South Italian, SOL.
A law excluding illiterates would,
therefore, exclude more than half the
Southern Italians and more than a
third of the Poles, while it would
affect the immigration from the Scan
dinavian races not at all. 1t would
reduce the German immigration only
a per cent.

Love, like genius, is not an integral
part of character; it is gift, an in.

AS rule of life, one finds that the
truth lies somewhere between first
Impressions and final decisions.
A man who talks constantly has a
thousand ways at hand in which to
make fool of himself. A silent man
has but one.
It's positively shocking, when we
come to think of it, how badly men
have guided some of the women the
