WONDERS OF TIE COMET.

II the comet, now 10 cur solar system
stretched Its orbit to the regions OF The
fixed stars, We could net expect its re-
turn to cur par. OF the universe In less
than 10000, 900 yssrs from now. But
Hslley's comet was here in 1885, and It
will be here again about the year 1885
1t was not till early In the eighteenth
century that Sir Edmund HALEY az
sured the world that the comet OF 1852 was
no vsprans, bat member In good and
regular standing Of the solsr system. de
then predicted that 1t would return in
1850. and return It did; for be bad
figured out, Ike each Of the planets, II
travels an ellipse and hiss Ito fixed period
of revolution. II is true that ths elhpse
Is exceedingly Astteped, 80 that 1t reaches
ont through space like long wedge,
while the ellipse travelled by the planets
make q close approach ID circles. But
ellipse 1t Is nevertheless; hence the comtt
must draw nesr the sun and retire sgsln.
The solsr sy stem is kind OF Island
In the vast sea Of space. The very near
eat of the fxed stars, themselves distant
Guns, Is 260, 900 times as far from the
earth az our own tun iS. Out into thst
yswping gull HalleS's comtt ventures,
5, 900. 900 miles farther than Nepluue,
our most distant planet. But, ss II ter
riHed by the solitude, back 1t surely
comes, trus to the ellipSe which 1t is
appointed to follow. Dcuatps great
comet of 1858, with q period of 1000
years, dsres to 90 immensely farther;
and other comets leave Donstps away
In the rear. And yet, II they re urn,
they belong to our solar family. While
some comets have periods ss low ss 81
years, Hslley's, mesi uriDg tff tine in
sections OF rs years each, impresses us
profoundly, 90 we'll IL may. Yet two OF
the planets require q longer time to
complete their orbits, Urauus taking "a
years and Neptune 164 to go around the
suu once. Were the paths OF these two
worlds lsttened like the ellIpse OF HALEY,
they, too, would come and 90 as does
the comet.
When we consider ell these possibili.
ties we cannot bat be both glad and
thankful that things are manifestly az
ranged with view to safety and contln'
uance and is would be OF all things the
most unreasonable 10 forget to admire In
our disposition to yield to craven fear.

PLANS TO BUILD
5000 MITCHELLS
Tremendous Output, but IS

Demands

Twelve million dollars worth or au

put Of the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Com.
pany's factory at Racine, Wis. ar
rangements having been completed for
the building of 5000 cars. every one
OF which will have been disposed OF
before il is ready for shipment
This seemingly tremendous out
put" said Sales Manager James W.
ellison. is thirty-fve per cent less
than the output that the Mitchell
Lewis Motor Company would have
TO make were Il to accede 70 the de-
mands Of the Mitchell agents and |
dealers all over the country and take |
blto consideration the considerable |
foreign order contingency. Pursuing |
the policy OF conservatism the COM
pany has elected TO be well within the /
maximum of demands of It's agents |
and will be content to attain the pro-
duction limit Of 5000 automobiles |
without making extraordinary me-
chaical additions to the plant"
The 1911 line includes four models
the runabout, surrey type, five-pas- |
senger four-cylinder car and the six
cylinder seven-p passenger machine. !
Liberal and standard equipment is
provided with each model, the model

SPANISH LACE is RIGHT IN
FASHION FOR DRESSf USE

"If you keep an article of apparel
long enough, you will have oppor-
unity for a second USE" said wo-
man the other day as she shook out
a lovely Spanish lace shawl Ineh
she gave the beautiful square to her
daughter, who is going to combine II
with white satin for an evening gown.
Spanish lace is certainly here, ana
the present-day styles are friendly TO
n new exploitation of this old tavo-
rite.
It can be kept in its uncut beauty
IN many &ses A bib effect ana a
long. draped tunic, with a girdle hold
ing i'm any fullness at the waist line
is one suggestion.
Smaller scarfs can be combined by
being laced together or joined by
hands of insertion. The modish gath
cred tunic with a straight band OF
satin Is another way of using the
filmy material.
If it be slightly worn, use the lace
as lining for an evening wrap or for
the full crown and trimming Of an
evening hat.
Little party bags over brilliant satin
are another way to utilize small
pieces; the underbodice. over which,
a slip Of colored chiffon is placed Is
bus one other exploitation OF the lace
of Nd CASTLE II is having another
day and no one can deny the lowell
ness Of the renewed popularity thai

SHOP FACILITIES
Cars No Longer Come Out Of
Factory by the run"
. System
NEW PLAN HAS
MANY ADVANTAGES

When it began to deliver its current
&c and 4s-horsepower models in the
latter part of August this year the
Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company. OF
Buffalo. inaugurated a change in its
manufacturing methods the advant-
ages of which to the users Of its
cars is already apparent. Since il
has occupied its new factory the COM
pany has manufactured cars of at
least three different horsepowers each
year. Il has been the custom to lii
vide the years output into what we're
called runs" BY this method a
month or two months would be de-
voted TO turning out ca g of one
model. Then another model would
hold the boards for thirty or sixty
days. But try as the factory would
il could not arrange the time Of these
"puns" to suit all it's dealers. At the
time one model would be in demand in
one part of the country Il might be
just between seasons for another
model in another district
During the spring and summer the
manufacturing facilities at the Pierce
Arrow plant we're enlarged greatly by
the addition of both new buildings and
new equipment. AS a consequence It
has been found possible TO do away
with the old run" system and now
the 80 and 4S-horsepower cars are be-
ing brought through side by side. The
advantages have been particularly ap-
parent this fall during the time the
demand for enclosed cars has been
greatest and II is expected that all the
vexatious questions of priority IN
winter and spring deliveries will now
be obviated

Much Is written about the business

stsys at home. the girl who left school
for good" at the end of the term has
probably not so far, felt that the
change in her life has made any great
difference in her. Holidays happen
every year. and she has spent them
much as usual. But now that the
younger children are returning 10 les

to its winter work, she Will very IKE
~ wonder what on earth she is 10 40

teen-year-old self
Girls who are going into business
studying for definite professions, OF
taking an important part in the social
life of their mothers, will have no
difficulty on this point. Their work is
cut out for them, and all that they
have to do is to devote themselves 70
it. But the case of the girl whose
people can afford to let her live at
home but cannot provide enough
gayeties to fill her day, is very differ
emit. She has been used TO the busy
life of school. and now that she Is ex-
pected to take her place at home and
Just exist quietly from day TO day,
she is apt to feel rather stranded and
lost
A day is a. long time to a young
creature. She can do a great deal IN
the twelve or fourteen working hours.
She must work of her overlooking
energy in some way, and If occupa-
lions are not provided for her she is
only too likely 10 make dangerous or
unwise ones for herself.
