in Indianapolis alone more than 1900 homes
have been mortgaged during the past year in or
der that householders may buy cars.
Purchasers OF automobiles have been deceived
in the matter of cost and upkeep, the difference
in the representations in this respect in COM
par1son with actual experience, makes it unwise
to take or own a car even as a gift.
The menace Of the automobile now threatens
the stability OF the home, and the danger is by
no means confined to any particular section.
Even farmers are buying them. Perhaps you can
near or see one Of these devil wagons while
you read this paragraph about them. 1t would

THE United States army has lately
1 undergone a series Of stern and
severe criticisms. Authorities have
studied the existing conditions from
every point of view. and in their re-
ports have delivered their opinions
in a fearless manner. In a report
recently made public one inspector
points out the case of a whole bat

their commands under detail, and al

or later be realized.

THERE were $50 deaths from
/ acute anterior poliomyelitis, or in
fantile paralysis, 116 from pellagra,
So from rabies, or hydrophobia, and 8
deaths from leprosy In 1909. in the
death registration area of continental
United States, which comprises over
IS per cent Of the total population,
according tt the census bureaus
forthcoming bulletin on mortality sta
tistics for 1909, submitted to Census
Director Durand by DR.. Greasy L..
Wilbur, chief statistician for vital
statistics.
It is reported that of the 500 deaths
from infantile paralysis $50 were of
white and only II of colored persons.
There was a somewhat greater Incl
dence of disease among males and an
Increased mortality In August, Sep

Big Harvest From Unredeemed Money

money issued the government escaped
payment on from one-tenth of I per
ent to about one-half of l per cent.
This. Of course. means that the gov-
eminent makes on the paper money
it issues n commission varying be-
tween the percentages set forth. The
most definite result shows a gain of
approximately one-eighth of I per
cent, a total gain to the government
amounting to $l3.241,O00 since tho
beginning Of u paper money-about
half a century ago.
In it's accounts the government, to
be absolutely SAFE puts the per
centage of destruction of notes at tho
lowest possible point. 50 that there II
no chance Of it finding itself worse
off thar it had imagined in the event
Of a run on the treasury. In the
treasurer's statement concerning
notes is always entered under the
caption unknown. destroyed" an
item Of 81 600. 900, in spite of it's esti-
mate Of $l3, O0o, 900. This Is entered
IN the redemption column and sub
tracted from the amount outstanding,
thus p%re~erving the balance.
All sorts of causes contribute to
increase the amount Of paper money
that will never be presented for re
demption. Fire Is perhaps the most
important cause, though improved
safes and the ore general use Of
safes for holding the cash supply are
annually reducing the loss from this
cause. Then there is a sort of inertia
that money seems to have which
keeps it ont In the country once Il
is started in circulation, wen though
it be of an issue supposed to mature
at n given time. ~Shipwrecks. too, arc
responsible for some of the Oss.
Lastly. there are the collectors, and
it is probable that every fairly good
collection of United States paper
money accounts for at least pieco
of every denomination that has failed
to come back to the treasury.

"ASHINGTON.-The United States
w government in fifty years has ac-
cumulated 1900. 0OC from unre.
deemed money. A long-standing ques-
ton, namely: How much does a gov
erEmen make through the failure of
its citizens to present its paper for
redemption? is answered fairly ac-
curately for our country in these fig.
ures. Expert mathematicians in the
United States have figured on the
problem. and the results they have
obtained by different methods are SO
nearly identical as to lead the layman
TO feel confident that they have hit
somewhere neal the mark.
Obviously the difficulties
ing the statistician wishing to tabu-
late the gains Of the government from
this source are almost insurmounta-
bic, II accurate figures are what he is
looking for. The destruction OF pa.
per money of all sorts goes on rapid,
ly throughout the country, vet this
loss is never reported to the treasury.
so the mathematicians have had to
take the complete figures of the gov.
eminent redemption division, and by
comparing the average life Of notes.
the average percentage of actual re.
demption, and other items Of that
sort, have been able to work out n
fairly percentage Of paper
money that is either destroyed or is
in such hands that it will never reach
the treasury for redemption in gold

worked INDEPENDENTLY on the suhiect

that they had reached substantially
the same result-that Of all paper

same-the public got the worst of it.
Various cities have made efforts to devise
some means of testing taximeters, but to Uncle
Sam belongs the credit of first solving the prob
lem. The system is now in successful operation
ct the capital of the nation, where, by the way,
there are probably more taxicabs in operation
than in any other city Of the size in the world.
The matter of keeping tab on the taximeters was
placed in the hands of Col. w. c. Haskell. the
United States superintendent of weights and
measures, and he invented the first machine spe-
oially designed for testing the accuracy of the
taxi"
The first apparatus was rather cumbersome
and the most conspicuous feature was a large
wooden wheel which was turned by hand. The
principle of operation involved the insertion of a
small wire through the shaft of the meter to be
tested and turning the same a certain number of
times to cover distance, verifying this test over
an Official mile and fraction thereof. The large
machine when fitted with the same size eccentric,
sprocket wheel and spiral shaft III Use IN taxi.
cabs gave a correct. test, but 1t was a time-con-
Stunning process, ten revolutions OF the large wheel
being required to show one-quarter mile Of travel.
After much study of the subject Colonel Has
kel perfected the small machine which has lately
been introduced for this work. With it one revo-
luton Of the crank wheel-through the aid Of a
system Of cogwheels-represents a quarter of a
mile Of travel. With this small machine attached
direct to the shaft Of the meter to be tested
it is possible to test ten meters in the time for
merly required for trying out one. Moreover, the
system of cogwheels is so adjusted as to give an
absolutely accurate test. The government now
requires that all taximeters attached to cabs at
the seat Of government be tested at least twice a
year, and when a meter upon test is found to be
accurate a round blue seal is affixed to the face
Of the meter showing that 1t has been zap
proved" Incorrect meters are given a yellow
seal with the word "Condemned'' thereon and
must be withdrawn from use under a penalty of
800 fine.
One Of the latest ideas evolved for a safety
attachment for automobiles is a Cow catcher"
The "cow catch err" or man catcher, Is attached
to the front Of the motor car and, when not in
active use saving the life of some one who steps
In front of the moving machine, it looks exactly

Estevan, who was killed. A few years
later Friar Marcos Of Nice viewed It

HALF a dozen resolutions authoriz-
II ing acceptance Of gifts By Ameri'
can military men and diplomatic OF
fcers from foreign rulers were turned
down last session by the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs. Accom-
pany1ng the rejection was a report
tending to discourage any sue e~orts
in the future.
In strong language the committee
pointed u that the provision Of the
constitution prohibiting the accept
ance of such gifts by Americans in
official life was drawn wisely by the
fathers of the country in the Interest
of the integrity and p~erpetuity of the
republic. Underlying the prohibition
is the thought that those accepting
such gifts would be under more or
less obligation to the giver. and to
that degree, at least, weaken his al
legiance to this country.
The most noted exception to this
rule by congress was the authorize
tor of acceptance by former Presi-
dant Roosevelt Of the Nobel peace
