100000 A DAY FOR AUTOS.
One Hundred New Cars Sold in Hi.
nois Every 24 Hours.

Secretary of State Rose, at Spring
field, Ohio, is issuing 125 automo-
bile licenses a day, of which more
than 100 are for new cars.
Chicago dealers say the automO-
biles sold i'll Illinois average $1,000
apiece, so that the people are now
spending 100000 a day, or more
than $3O,0OO,OOO year for motor
cars.
James J. Hill, at st. Paul, last
February said money spent for auto
mobiles was 'squandered,'' that AGO..
900 cars had been ordered at an
average of 81, 900 apiece and not one
cent of this 100000 is invested
in anything that will produce one
bushel of grain.

RATS IN PLACE OF BEEF.
Uncle Jimmy Wilson Says That
Would BE the Thing.

Is the price of beef too high?
Then eat muskrat. That is the adj
vice of Secretary of Agriculture Will

muskrats are easily raised and that
in former days the Indians ate them
with great relish. Indeed, it is q
fact that in colonial times muskrats
were served at church festivals in
Maryland and Delaware, as terrapjn

TOPEKA, Kan.-Here is the small
boys Nemesis. 1t may also be the
instrument by which the deluded hus-
band who stays out late at night may
be turned from the error of his ways.
1t counteracts cloves or chewing gum
or any other breath deodorizer, and
it's presence in the house ought to
keep the small boy from smoking
cigarettes or chewing tobacco and
cause a young husband to go home
much before the stars begin to fade.
Prof. James Naismith of the Uni
versity of Kansas has perfected an
instrument that is infallible in the
detection of tobacco or liquor, or any
drug or narcotic stimulant. Ii any
person has used any narcotic or slim
ulant, even in the smallest quanti-
ties, even two puffs from a cigar
cite, this instrument, it is said, will
show it.
Used in Athletic Work.
Dr. Naismith did not work out his
invention as an aid to mothers who
do not always detect tobacco or to
wives who cannot be sure that their
husbands have been drinking. He
had another idea in mind. He is the
physical director of the university.
All the students who enroll for ath
letic work are required to take eX-
aminatiOns. These examinations
might show certain bodily conditions
which consistent gymnasium work
would cure if tobacco or other stimu-
lants were left alone.
In some forms of athletic work the
men engaged in it cannot do their
very best if they are accustomed to
smoking cigarettes or chewing to-
bacco or occasionally being a good
fellow and taking a drink or two.
The examination for the work to be
undertaken might require that to-
bacco or liquors be prohibited and
orders to this effect would be issued.
Effects of Stimulants Shown.
The athletic authorities at the UNI
versity discovered that the prohibi-
tiOns were not always obeyed, and
that often the men showed plainly
the effects of stimulants, but these
could not be detected, as the boys
had covered their tracks" we'll. So
DR.. Naismith set about to build a
machine that would do the work
In addition to restraining the boys
from the use of stimulants and mar
cotics the instrument has been found
to promote truthfulness. When
asked about an infraction of the
rules the students usually answer
promptly if they have broken over,
as they know that the test may be
applied at once and their perhdy
made known.
An Electric Needle Doesn't.
The instrument is very simple. 1t
consists of two rods. One is a quar-
ter of an inch in diameter and the
other is about twice as large. In
the end of the larger is a hole and
the smaller rod fits easily into this
hole. The ends of the rods are con-
nected by wires with an electric
needle
When it is believed that student
has been using stimulants or mar
cotics he is asked to take a rod in
each hand and hold the smaller one
with the hole in the end of the larger.
This completes the electric circuit,
and the needle writes on a sheet of
paper. If the student is nervous the
lines are irregular. If the student
is not nervous and has not used to-
bacco or liquor the line is straight,
