Motoring at Its Best.

Few motorists know of motoring in
all its fullness. They drive along coun-
try roads for a hundred miles or so,
through towns so closely set that they
virtually run through one long village,
and they think they have motored.
They cross the ocean and enjoy the
perfect roads of France and Switzer-
land. and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there is IN life in the motor
car: but no one has ever been brought
TO full realization of what motoring
really is. or what the wonderful mod
ern machine of mans creative genius
is really capable Of doing until they
have sat in a racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as it Is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote: What de-
lightful thing is a turnpike road, such
a means of speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle in the broad air can
accomplish" He certainly spoke In
prophecy of the motor car. and espe-
cially of the racing machine, which
defies distance and shrinks space into
the most tiny proportions.-The Co
lumbar.

more than music can be taught and
understood from printed scores The
literary element in the plays of
Shakespeare or Racine need presenta-
ton on "a stage as much as do the
Wagnerian dramas In fact. the litera
ry element of a play has little to do
with it's value as a drama. The study
of the theater. like the study of phv
sizes or psychology. requires a labOrd p
tory: and without one the study of the
drama must be. and is, in a great
measure. failure. This sO-called dra-
matte laboratory need not necessarily
be used for original experiments: for
lit is doubtful whether dramaturgy can
be taught. although a course in play
writing is certainly an excellent way
of studying the drama. even though q
course may fail to produce first-clas
playwrights. II university is to be
successful in this important branch
of its teaching, it must provide a place
in which its students can observe and
study the best drama which the coun-
try has to offer There is needed an
endowed university theater, built on
university ground and run under the
supervision of the authorities thea
ter in which students can learn and
find amusement at the same time.
The undertaking to establish such a
tteater is not an easy one. but it is en-
tirely feasible and already has the
sanction and support of the authori-
ties of one university. If college can
afford Il memorial tower or gate cost
ing a hundred thousand dollars and
never used. or a stadium costing five
hundred thousand dollars and used
twice year. it can surely afford a
theater to be used throughout the year

TO RELIEVE THE HiCC0UGHS
gar often Will Cure Simple
Cases

Simple cases of hiccough are often
relieved by such measures as sucking
ice or taking salt and vinegar Pull
ing the tongue forward and hold
ing 1t for some time is an effective
procedure
Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re-
lieved when the patient is strong by
having him hang with the arms eX-
tended and grasping some beam or
pole. so that his feet do not touch the
floor With all the abdominal muscles
tense. have him hold his breath as
long as possible.
The spelling "hiccough" is recent,
being a combination of the syllables
"hic" and the latter term of cough,
which is without either physiological
or chronological basis; the pronuncia-
ton, with perhaps the rarest eXcep-
ton, is still that of the older form
'hiccup." earlier given variously-as
"hickup." "hickupsnickup, "hickop.'
Hitchcock" hitchcock and "hickett, -
with quasi diminishing suf1xes ack,
etc; but the "hick," a syllable aptly
expressive of the spasmodic sound pro-
duced by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, is found in
all references to the origin Of the term
which the writer has been able to OBJ
tain. The term singultus is rarely
used.-New York Medical Journal.

DID MOSES MAKE MISTAKE7
First Chapter Of Genesis Conforms In
Many Instances With Late Dis
coveries In Science.

We have often heard 'the mistakes
of Moses" in the first chapter of Gene
sis commented upon. but what espe
cially strikes us in that chapter is not
it's contraventions of science, but it's
harmonies with late discoveries. How
did the writer, many centuries before
the story of the rocks had been de-
.ciphered, know that there was begin
ming and then pause before life APP
peared on the earth? Who taught the
writer that the earth was without form
and void" before 1t was divided into
continents? How came It that the
long delayed. slow emergence OF land
should be set forth as II is? Was 1t
mere guesswork that prompted the
writer to say grasses were created be-
fore animals, and not for animals al
ready existent? Is it happy accident
that life in the water appears before
life upon the land? And ages before
the scientist dreamed of paleontology
we find man last in the series just as
he appears today by his remains In the
drift instead of in the stratified rocks?
Further investigation may explain dis
crepancies. but what except inspira.
ton can account for these coinci-
dences?-The Advance.

BEING BRISK A GOOD HABIT
Children Should Be Taught Quickness
In Running Errands and in
Dressing Themselves.

II a child is allowed to acquire a
slow, dawdling manner when told 10
do any particular duty it will be
found very difficult to effect a cure,
and this means a serious hindrance to
success in after years.
Teach them while very young to do
everything promptly and to finish
what they have commenced If they
are sent on message make them to
clearly understand that they must go
direct TO the shop and not loiter on
the way Children may be seen al
any time carrying a message and lin
gering to look at everything on the
way.
| often wonder at what time the
poor mother gets her messages home,
when | see a child lettering about in
stead of walking along briskly.
Quickness in dress. also. should be in
sisted upon. If too young to dress
themselves they should be taught 10
keep still while the mother or sister
puts On their clothing
At a later age forbid any running
about the house until fully dressed
and quickly dressed. Some little
maidens are rather fond of looking in
the glass while dressing and this is
a habit which should be at once re.
pressed. 1t not only encourages van
ity but it causes the child to waste
much valuable time.
