Our idea of supreme art is fully
illustrated in the story that comes
from Chicago concerning a pair Of
elderly people who desired TO have
some perfectly good money in place
OF some which would not pass muster
at the receiving teller's window.
Under the names Of Gustav Foster
and Amanda Thomas this pair of ar
lists would visit ministers and ask
10 be married After each ceremony
the man would say something like
this

ward you with $40 for this kind
act Of yours, which makes a
happy ending to q courtship last

somewhat slim, and / can afford

The vast extent of the automobile industry may
be judged by the figures of the Bureau of Stat
istics which show that the United States will have
exported during the present year automobiles and
parts which will aggregate approximately 500
100000 in value. These figures do not include
the automobiles sent to Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Alaska which with the parts thereof aggregated
more than ST 100000 in value during the last hs-
cal year, Canada is by far the LARGEST market
for automobiles exported OF the 5000 machines
exported in the seven months ending July 1924
went TO Canada. II is pity that Wilmington has
let slip opportunities to be part in this great in
dustry Trenton, N. j. has surpassed us in this
respect as Trenton has an automobile factory and
several tire making factories.

AFTER DINNER
PUZZLES FOR
TURKEY DAY

Uncle John always has a puzzle
to spring. Just about the time
when the last of the Thanksgiving
dinner was disappearing he turned
to the children and said:
Katie and Mabel had several
sticks of candy, but Katie had
more sticks than Mabel had, and
Mabel didn't like that at all. 'Ka-
tie, she said, If you give me one
of your sticks, we'll both have the
same number! No. replied Ka-
tie, but I'll tell you what / will
do, If you give me one of yours
will divide with brother, who has
none, and then we will all have
the same"
Mabel gave up stick of hei
candy, and brother got his share
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-11-29

Now, can you tell me how many
sticks each of the girls had at the
start and how many sticks brother
'got?"
Here's another: Farmer Jones
left home early the day before
thanksgiving with a lot of eggs
to exchange. First he went to the
drygoods store and gave the mer-
chant half the number of eggs he
had and half an egg besides. That
was for new dress for his daugh-
ter. Then he left half the re-
naming eggs and half an egg at
the grocery for some sugar and

coffee; at the shoe store he left
half of the eggs he had left and
han an egg more. Then he had
three dozen eggs left, which he
exchanged for candy and nuts.
How many eggs did he have when
he left home that morning?
Now here is one for ma and pa
to solve. Mrs. Smith went to the
butcher and bought "a cents
worth of sausage. She handed the
butcher a dollar bill, which was
all the money she had in her
purse except a three-cent piece
and a two-cent piece, rare coins
she had saved for long time.
The butcher had only a quarter
and a 50-cent piece in his cash
drawer, but just then Miss Brown
came into use the telephone, and
she was appealed to for help. In
her purse she had two dimes. a
nickel, a two-cent piece and a one
cent piece.
Good said the butcher, now
l can change your dollar. Mrs
Smith Yet Miss Brown walked
out of the store with as much
money as she entered with. How
was the exchange made so that
they all got the right amount due
them?"
