Some College Humor.

A new German professor in a
girls college, wishing to detain one
of the students, said, ooh, Miss
-, may 1 hold you a minute aft
er class ?"
This advice was given by one of
the students to her mates: "Girls,
take all the courses you can with
the men professors, for the women
of the faculty try to find out how
much you know and the men try to
show off how much they know"
The wife of one of the professors
warned him as he went off to. Off
ciate at a funeral one rainy day
"Now, John, don't stand with your
bare head on the damp ground
You'll surely catch cold."-Life.

contemplates the suspension of busi-
ness on Wednesday or Friday after
moons as may be considered hest. In

stores during the summer months
and the plan is said to have worked
unusually well.

Color Harmony.

The key to all color harmony is SIM
ply this-that kindred or related colOrs
harmonize, go well together, while un-
related colors are antagonistic TO each
other. Those colors are kindred which
are side by side on the spectrum band
or the color circuit. Red is kindred to
orange because orange is an admix-
ture of red and yellow; orange is kim
dred to yellow because of the yellow
in the orange; yellow is akin to green
because green is an admixture OF vel
low and blue.

III. Automobile Industry.

While the use of the automobile has
been largely restricted to pleasure rid
ing there can be no denying the fact
that its use for practical purpose has
largely increased. Several well-known
makers of motor vehicles report a large
percentage OF their sales are to ply
eicfans who have found it profitable
TO substitute the fast-moving motor
carriage for the slower-moving and
more expensive horse-draWn outfit.
The farmers, who formerly hated the
very sight of motor carriages, are
now extensively using them, they
1and il cheaper to keep an automobile
for riding about the country than to
support a good team of horses and a
suitable vehicle.
These practical uses to which motor
vehicles are now put have been vastly
supplen ented by the substitution of
raotor-dr driven cabs and other vehicles
for the old-time horse drawn cabs and
hacks II does not require very close
observation to note to what a great ex-
tent horse vehicles have been replaced
In this city by public motor cars.
The main future development ahead
OF the automobile industry is the man

vehicles for trade. In most large cities
