Would Draft Autos.

A plan to make all private automo-
biles available for military service in
time of necessity was suggested by
Major General Frederick Dent Grant
in his annual report.
1T seems to me-" he says, that it
would be wise if the national govern
ment passed laws that would cause
the registration of all automobiles
capable of transporting four or more
passengers, and that the owners of
these machines be obliged legally to
transfer them, on demand, to the gov
eminent for military uses, for a sum
of money not greater than the original
cost of the machine.
IF this were done the government
would have at hand and without cost
to maintain, means Of transporta-
ton for the rapid movement of
troops"

Little Mollie Smith was asked at
Sunday school who built the ark
She didn't know and was told to-
have the answer by the following suns
day. Her mother instructed her.
Noah built the ark" she said Noah.
The same name as Mr.. Brown. His
name is Noah Brown. You know that
don't you? You've seen his name
above his store. Just remember Mr..
Brown, and then you'll think of Noah"
And very naturally when Mollie was
asked the following Sunday who built
the ark she answered promptly: "Mr.
Brown built 1t. He lives right next
door to u.s."
That's the story papa told mamma.
and when she laughed Tommy was
anxious to see the point. Presently
his face lit up. 81 know it," he
cried. "Granpa built it all right; but
he doesn't want everybody to know
