construction in detail: this is oper-

The reduction Of friction to a min

power, or are subjected to a weight

v1ncingly or impressively shown than
by the actual bearings themselves. =
Ball bearings for radial or thrust
loads, each the finest example Of their
kind naanufa ctured-either in their

ball bearing concerns-are placed on
a quartered oak stand in relatively
the same position as in the complete
car.
And just a word about the exclu-
connecting members in the power
drive line by a series Of squares and
taper squares. This Is clearly and
cleverly illustrated. not in miniature,
but by full size parts on a stand IL

To the layman, the value of the de-
sign and wonderfully rugged appear
ance of each part is at once apparent
and will, no doubt, influence a more
thorough study of the car.
But the detail information as re-
CARDS chassis is not all the prospect
tive motorist requires, SO a few words
aboutthe enclosed and touring bodies,
staged, will be interesting and in
structive, not only because Of design
and construction, but also harmony
of colors as well. A detailed descrip-

100000 FUND
TO FIGHT RATES
Mcclure Announces Magazines
Are Set Against Proposed
Increase
Especial from United Press.>

New York, Feb. 14-One hundred
thousand dollars has been raised to
fight the proposed increase in the
magazine postal rates. S. S. Mcclure,
one of the leading magazine men Of
the United States, announced, today,
that 100 periodical publishers have
pledged themselves to contribute $1,000
to fund to be used in newspaper adj
vertisements setting forth the publish
ers' reason for opposing the pending
measure.
Mcclure f1atly denied Postmaster
General Hitchcock's statement that the
magazines are making huge profits
and he also declared that if the in
crease is put in effect popular mag
azines of the type of McClues and Ev-
erybody's will be wiped out Of ex-
istence.
'No magazine Of our type" said
McClue, "earns an adequate return on
the investment because of the high
cost of editorial matter used. Some
of the series Of special articles used
represent an outlay Of from $4,000 to
$4,000. The result Of the proposed
Ubiquitous increase would be nothing
less than forcing us to spend more
money than our magazines earn. For
this reason we purpose letting the pub
lie know the true intent of the mea-
sure, feeling sure that, thus aroused,
the reading public will protest against

STEVENS-DURYEA MOTOR CARS

No American built gasoline car has
a more honorable reputation than the
years ago that their sturdy little rum
about was introduced. At that time

cylinder motor. Their years of I'M
interrupted success are largely, If not
mainly due, to sound mechanical de-
sign. The excellent organization. keen
enterprise of the factory personnel,
and thorough structural features,
firmly established a reputation for
relia bility. This reputation was al
ways exceedingly difficult to attain,
in the face. of the curious popular
prejudice of years ago, against the

good small cars that are now obtain

when the small four cylinder Stevens

Now, as then, there is but one
Stevens-Duryeau quality; that,-the
| best in design and manufacture which
years of experience in building high
grade cars has proven to be mechan-
ically correct.
For silence and smoothness of oper-
alton under practical conditions, it Is
second to none. Motorists who have
never used a Stevens-Duryea, have
yet to learn how these very desirable
qualities have been emphasized
through the pure development of a
dard practice-the six cylinder motor.
To such fine point has the design
OF the Stevens-Duryea been carried,
that the experimental development

whole year, and has only produced
two or three features to which the
| public eye can be directed and readily
recognized as distinct advances.

Worms as Aids to Plant Growth.

Worms prepare the ground in an
excellent manner for the growth of
fibrous-rooted plants and for seedlings
of all kinds. They periodically ex-
pose the mold to the air, and sift it
so that no stones larger than the
particles which they can swallow are
left in it. They mingle the whole init
mately together, like a gardener who
prepares fine soil for his choicest
plants. In this state it is well-ftted
to retain moisture and to absorb all
soluble substances, as we'll as for the
process of notification. The bones
of dead animals, the harder parts of
insects, the shells and land-mollusks,
leaves, twigs, etc, are before long all
buried beneath the accumulated cast
ings of worms, and are thus brought
in a more or less decayed state within
the reach of the roots of plants.

Worms.

In that famous poem, The Fools
Prayer, this sentiment occurs:
These clumsy feet still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end"
Most men do the same to worms,
yet according to that very great au
thorlty, Darwin, worms have a great
use in the economy of nature Worms,
says this great scientist, have played
a more important part in the history
of the world than most persons at
first suppose. In almost all humid
countries they are extraordinarily
numerous, and for their size possess
great muscular strength In many
parts Of England a weight of more
than ten tons of dry earth annually
passes through their bodies and is
brought to the surface on each acre
Of land; so that the whole superficial
bed of vegetable mold passes through
their bodies in the course Of every
few years. From the collapsing of
the old burrows the mold is in con-
slant slow movement, and the parti
cles composing it are thus slowly
rubbed together. By these means
fresh surfaces are thus exposed to
the action of the carbonic acid in the
soil, and of the humus acids which
appear to be still more efficient in the
decomposition Of rocks The genera
ton Of the humus acids is probably
fastened during the digestion of the
half decayed leaves which worms CON
sumo. Thus the particules of earth
forming the superficial mold, are sub
jected to conditions eminently fav-
orable for the decomposition and dis
indignation. Moreover, the particles
of the softer rocks suffer some
amount of mechanical trituration in
the muscular gizzards of worms, in
which small stones serve as mill
stones.

An Old Darkey's Ideas.

an interesting talk with the old man.
He said the first man out of his car
at Bristol that morning handed him
half dollar and he felt rewarded for
his sacrifice of the night before |
guess the old fellow has solved the
riddle Of his happiness.
"And," said he, on the subject of
the difference between things in
Chattanooga and New York, ''When

wrong that | can't zactly explain, the
superintendent up there lays me off
till | can explain. But when I'm in
Chattanooga, and the same thing
