SCOTCH WOMEN FAVORITE NURSES.

The late King Victor Emmanuel was almost
burned to death in his cradle and for many
years there used be a widespread beIfet 10
the effect that he really perished in the names
and that the boy of his peasant wet nurse was
substituted in his stead, either with or without
the knowledge of his parents. The many peas
ant tastes and traits Of the first King of United
Italy used to be cited by way OF confirmation OF
this somewhat fantastcal story
In two notable instances. royal nurses lost
their reason. Miss Weber, who was in charge
Of the nursery OF the Crown Felncess OF
Greece threw herself from the Parthenon to the
stone pavement below, being instantly killed
She was the only German of the household or

Athen5 from Berlin, and with whom, as a

PROPOSES SUBSTITUTING
NEW NAME FOR AEROPLANES
ImmortaIs Of French Academy Are
Called Upon to Suggest One
Shorter and More
Euphonious

Since some persons have urged as an
objection to the word "aeroplane'' that
it is too long and Is lacking In euphony,
L'Auto was recently led to ask the
"immortals" of the French academy
their opinion of the term, and, In case
they thought 1t Objectionable, what
they would propose as substitute.
From the answers received UP to the
present 1t appears that M M. Mezieres.
Lemaitre, Houssaye, Deschanel and
Thursau-Dangin think that the word
"aeroplane," having been sanctioned
by usage, 1t would be in vain to try to
stem the current that floats 1t; M.
Richepin proposes "Alerion" Gin poetry,
winged monster); M. de Vogue,
''Icarian' (from Icarus, of classic
mythology; hence (2) high-fiying); M.
Hanotaux, "Aeromobile"; M. Bazin,
"Autoplaneuse" M. Levedan, "Aero";
NJ. Clarstie, "Aeronef" Marquis Costa,
"Aerolithe" (aerolite), because, says he,
1t is to be foreseen that these new ma
chimes will often fall from the sky, and
M. Lott, "Sky-Fish" Gan antithesis Of
sea-fish; but why not "angel-fish"?
Among the terms proposed by NOR
tails" are ''Aerophile," "Aerostat," Hell
icoplane," "Vol-au-Vent" (the latter
evidently by facetious gastrono-
MIST, Await" "Avion," "Aerofore"
and "Aeroauto." Still more answers
are expected.

MORTGAGE HOMES
TO BUY AUTOMOBILES
Future Happiness Of American People
viii Likely Be Increased as
Automobiles Are Pur-
chased

In one New England town of no great
size sixty families have mortgaged their
homes to buy automobiles, according
to the Saturday Evening Post. We
have this on the word of a clergyman,
and regard it as a hopeful sign.
In japan, as travellers report, the
common people are happy. Westerners
are surprised at their gay and care
free air. This Is because they are not
burdened with exacting possessions. A
family owns q few kimonos, a couple
OF mats, q chest; so 1t has nothing on
it's mind. A Japanese with surplus
funds buys an extra fine fish and eats
it, instead OF foolishly laying out the
money in something that will involve
care.
In America, on the other hand, all
people are miserable because the fruit
Of everybody's energy, over. and above
that necessary to bare subsistence, is
expended in a manner that continually
demands expenditure of more energy.
A man can never catch up with him
self. He works and gets q house. He
must then work, not only to maintain
the house, but to furnish it. He pres
emily gets more furniture than the
house will accommodate. Then he must
get a bigger house and furnish that.
1t has been estimated that If the av-
erage American lived to the age Of
Methuselah he would have a house
seven miles square, and, at the moment
of dissolution would be toiling to buy
a colonial chamber set for the north
east room-in which set, however, there
would be one more piece than the room
could hold, necessitating a quarter-mile
addition on that corner, to furnish
which would take the labor of the next
eighty years.
The automobile mania, resolving all
- 4VaN1 civ eria md
paratively simple piece of property,
promises to change this.

TIRE USED 5000 MILES
DOES MlLE-A-MINUTE RACE
MIchelln Inflated Wheel Band, After
Having Gone Far Enough to Rem

Its Manufacturers

Among the entries for the Garden
CITY sweepstakes at the Vanderbilt

The Michelin man looked the tire
over, felt 1t, examined It.
"Sure!" said he, that tires all right"
After the race began man came
into the Michelin control. =,
I'm one of the Sharp Arrow men"
said he; ''those tires are holding up
well. Fine tires, Michelins."
"Yes!" we admitted, they are"
",That Michelin tire on the near front

But it did.

A big shipment of REQ convertibles

already placed. At the same time the
Aissel "90'' demonstration arrived, maxi
ing a total of seventeen cars In twenty
four hours. The Kissel "30'' is a very
pretty little car and is an exact replica
OF the forty, only smaller all the way
through.
Daintiness is shown throughout. but
the sense of strength Is not lost In
any of the body lines, which are good
In point of finish the car leaves. little
to be desired, as the painting af1d up
holstering are worthy Of higher priced
machines.
The little motor shows plenty OF
speed and has SUFFICIENT power to take
a load over Grand avenue on the high
gear.
The REQ convertible is in advance Of
previous models in several ways. It
is a good touring type and shows no
evidence of a possible change to other
body design. It does not have an ap-
pearance of being a makeshift design.
as do many convertible body cars, but
looks the part that 1t is designed for.
The same reliable two-cylinder motor
Is the power unit and will doubtless
continue to give the same satisfaction
to REQ drivers that 1t has been doing
for a few years past.

FIVE FRENCH FIRMS
OUT OF GRAND PRIx?
Chances Of Having to Compete with
Special Racers of No Established
Reputation Cause of
Action

PARIS, Dec. 3.-Paris wants to
know If her crack constructors have
got cold feet. There is report abroad
in well informed circles that five of
the most important firms have agreed
among themselves not to compete In
the next Grand Prix. The matter
would not be so very extraordinary
in question, which are declared to
comprize Brasier, Renault, Panhard
and Dietrich, have each a representa-
tive on the racing board and are
therefore boycotting their own event.
Just how much truth there is in the
report it is impossible to say, but
there is no doubt whatever that these
firms have discussed among them
selves the advisability of sustaining
from racing next year. Paris is more
than surprised at the move, and blunt
ly declares that the crack constructors
have got cold feet at the idea of
second-rate firms, having had long ex-
perience in the construction Of small
cars, coming forward and beating
them at their own game. They could
stand being beaten by Fiat and Mer-
cedes, but when it is q question of
Blank & Blank, voiturette builders,
coming forth with a special 130-milli-
meter bore racer and beating them,
they would prefer to keep out of the
game.
Undoubtedly next year a number of
firms having never before tackled a
special racer, will come forth with a
Grand Prix car. There are at least
half a dozen firms having specialized
in 100 and 130-millimeter more tour
ing cars who will use the knowledge
gained in this line to build trio of
racers. Berliet, the winner of the
italian 13O-millimeter race, will enter
three cars for the first time in the
French Grand Prix, the driver of one
of them in all probability being Thery.
The engines are already under. con-
struction, and are declared to have a
stroke of 200 millimeters.

AUTOMOBILE USED TO
STOP RUNAWAY TEAM

The usual order of events was re-
versed few days ago and motor
car brought into use for the purpose
of averting what might have other
wise proven to be a serious runaway.
Hugh Chalmers, president, and Leo
Counselman, sales manager of the
Chalmers-Detroit company, passed
through Toledo on their way from De-
troit to Dayton. A farmer driving
along the road was walking behind his
rig In order to keep warm, when the
team suddenly took fright and dashed
down the highway. The motorists
seeing the farmers plight, speedily
ran ahead of the team, gradually
slowing down the horses until they
were brought to a standstill. AS there
was but a narrow road, the team had
not room to get by and It became an
easy matter for the occupants of the
car to alight and take charge of the
fractions horses.
