A tired but happy bunch of automo-
bile dealers are today taking their ex-
hibits out Of Convention Hall, and by
night the second national automobile
show will have passed into history.
Never before has SO much interest
been manifested in an exhibition Of this
character. and as a result handsome
dividend will be declared by the show
committee. From Morday night, when
the show was opened, until IL o'clock
last night, when Chairman Long de-
clared the exhibition at an end, great
crowds surged through the hall inspect
ing the finest aggregation Of cars ever
seen in this section Of the country.
Yesterday was the biggest day of the
show, both from the standpoint OF at
tendance ana number of sales made.
Former Governor Kellogg spent an hour
or more looking over the various mod
els. Gardner F. williams and family.
William F. GUIDE, Mrs. Ray It'll, of
Philadelphia; Mrs. Z. P. Hough, and H.
J. Sturtevant, Of Baltimore, were among
those who visited the show yesterday.
William F. Metzger. one OF the leading
officials Of the Metzger Motor Car Com
pany, Of Detroit, was at the show yes
terday in company with Wayne Davis,
who handles the Everitt line in Phila-
delphia and vicinity. Mr.. Metzger is
one Of the pioneer automobile men of
the country. Discussing the outlook for
the present season, he said:
The automobile business will reach
its highest point of development in 1911.
The talk Of an impending crash in the
industry has been dissipated, orders for
cars from all parts of the country are
rushing the factories, and the general
outlook is very bright. / do not think
there will be any overproduction of
cars; rather, most Of the factories will
be oversold.
With the closing of the show. which
was entirely for pleasure vehicles, the
talk of a truck show in connection with
an aeronautical exhibition is being re-
newed. Automobile dealers handling
trucks will meet Wednesday night at
ECkstein's TO formulate plans for such
show, which is scheduled for the week
of March s. Royce Hough has been
placed in charge of the truck end Of the
proposed show, and is working up con-
siderable interest in the project.

The bloods examined were from
ten different cases of acute poliomyel-
tits in children and were taken during
the epidemic last summer, and from
thirteen cases of the disease in the
acute stage, which had been produced
xperimentally in as many monkeys.
Blood smears from three normal
human beings were carefully examin-
ed and, although the search for these
organisms was diligently made, none
was found Smears were made from
the blood of thirteen normal monkeys
with negative results. After inOcula-
ton with the virus these same mon
keys give positive results.
"Smears from the cords and brains
of paralyzed monkeys and from one
human case were examined, but none
of the organisms was found. Def1brin-
ated blood, three weeks to two months
old, from two paralyzed monkeys,
increased numbers. Cultures made
from the blood Of paralyzed

ined after being inoculated three

| GROOM 81 AND BRIDE 80

Remarkable scenes were witnessed
at Chatham, England, recently, when a
sprightly couple whose total years
were TIA went to the altar. The bride
groom was William Hennen (94), and
the bride, Fanny Wadhams 500. I'm
mense crowds assembled to see the
pair, and the vehicular traffic was
brought to a standsti1l The wedding
was the elimination of a workhouse
romance, for the couple left the Med
way Union to get married on the
strength of their old age pensions.
Hennen is the last Of the old post
boys, and the townspeople of Chatham
presented the old gentleman with
brand new frock suit and overcoat,
and the ladies of the town rugged the
bride out in a beautiful wedding gown.
A local jeweler provided the wedding
ring. After the ceremony an up-to-
date motor car was reQuisitioned and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hennen were conveyed
in style to the coy apartments which
their kind fellow-tcwnsfolk had pro
yided in readiness for them.

In the the little English village of
Winterslow, near Salisbury lives Thorn
as Yeates, who earns his living by
means of trufhe hunting. Truffle hunt
ers are now nearly extinct in England,
only one other carrying on the bust
ness. 1t has been handed down from
father to son for the last 200 years.
The dogs used are of Spanish de-
scent, apparently having a strain Of
poodle in them. Owing to inbreeding
the race is now nearly extinct
Truffles are in season during the
months of October, November, Deem
Der, and January curiously enough,
during the same time as game, for the
seasoning of which these underground
fungi are greatly sought. They will
only grow in certain spots, which are
invariably near to beech trees, it be-
ing thought that the loan made by
the falling leaves specially suits them.
AS soon as the truff1e becomes ripe
it gives off a scent, which especially
trained dogs Immediately detect and
when located they at once start to dig
up the fungus. Once dog starts to
dig, it may be taken for granted that
it is found; the dog never makes
mistake. After finding, the dog is Civ
en- small piece of bread as a reward.
In France truffes are hunted for in a
much more clumsy manner, by the as
sistance of pigs.

EATS MANY EGGS ON WAGER
Massachusetts Trolley Conductor,
Champion Gourmand, Wins $50 in
Contest-StiII Hungry.

Brockton, Mass.-George Ward is
New England's latest champion eater.
He won a $50 bet in that city by eat
ing eighteen fried eggs in fourteen
minutes. Having won the money,
Ward ate six more eggs and a pound
of cheese to satisfy his hunger.
Ward lives at 654 Main street,
Brockton, and is a trolley conductor
on the Old Colony line. In the car
barn one night an argument turned on
how many fried eggs a person could
eat in fifteen minutes. Ward OBJ
served: 81 can do fifteen"
A $50 betting proposition was put
over, and Ward said it was a shame
to take the money, but he would win
that bet The other night the fried
eggs against time match was pulled
Off
Ward won the money in a canter.
He ate eighteen eggs in fourteen
minutes, going three eggs over the
mark in one minute less than the
stipulated time.
Then he said: I'm kind of hun
cry. Just bring me half dozen more
fried eggs and a pound Of cheese. And
better bring a cup Of tea, too. Water
is kind of fat with the eggs" Then
he finished his meal.
With the eggs, the cheese, the tea
and the money, Ward stroIled home.

when a child, I suffered eight
years with eczema. l could not sleep
at night. and had sores all over my
chest We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me of
eczema. I also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, / was not worried at all, as
l knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had 1t on their heads,
face, and In back of the ears so that l
thought their ears would drop of. I
washed tt sir heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean

Micro Organism Causing Infan-
tile Paralysis Found.
DR.. Samuel Dixon, Secretary of Penn
syIVania Board of Health, Makes
Remarkable Find-Hope of
Final Cure Seen.

Topeka, Kan.-Dr. S. J. Crumbine,
secretary of the Kansas Board of
health, has received a letter from Dr.
Samuel Dixon, secretary of the Penn
sylvania board of health, explaining
in detail what is believed to be the
discovery Of the micrO-organism
which causes infantile paralysis. DR..
Nixon does not definitely assert that
he has found the germ, but he has
found an organism in the blood of
persons and animals which are afflict-
ed with the disease and the organism
does not appear in the blood of nor
NAL persons or animals and it is not
described in any of the treatises of
germs.
Infantile paralysis has been cpl
demic in parts of Kansas for two
years. Last year there was 189 cas-
es and forty-seven deaths reported
from this disease and the year before
there were eighty cases and eight
cen deaths. Scientists are working
hard to isolate the germ which causes
the disease and to work out a treat
ment to prevent or cure it, Thus far
no cure has been discovered and the
germ has not been entirely isolated.
The discovery of Dr. Dixon is a great
advance and 1t may lead to the discov-
cry of the cause and a treatment for
the disease.
DR.. Crumbine and the physicians
connected with the state board of
health and the university medical
school are watching with great inter
est the tests being made by DR..
Dixon.
In his letter DR. Dixon says:
In examining the blood from acute
cases of poliomyelitis (infantile par
alysis) in human beings and also in
monkeys, in which the disease was
produced experimentally, an organism
was found, different in morphologic
character from any heretofore de-
scribed which may or may not, on
further investigation, prove to be the
geological factor in the causation Of
the disease. Blood smeaTs being fixed
in methyI-alcohol for one minute and
stained with carbol-thioin, the organ
ism appears as q family stained blue
rod, with regular cell wall about ten
microns long and about eight-tenths
of a micron in width, curved at an
angle of 60 to Is degrees at one end.
occasionally at both ends. At times
the curved end is dubious. Some of
the organisms appear to have very
finely granular protoplasm when the
highest amplifcation is employed"

croscopes which gave the best re-

PULPIT NOT IN THEIR LINE
How Men Now Eminent in judiciary
of Country Disappointed Parents
Fond Expectations.

There were three boys in our fam
lily out in Ashland county, Ohio,
said Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup OF
Charleston, w. Va, at the Willard
hotel, and our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one Of the three
should be a preacher.
Peter, the first born. was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think of some other
vocation. Well, when Peter left col
Iege he told father and mother that
he guessed the church could get
along without him. as he preferred
the law Then l was picked for the
pulpit and after a term in college my
parents were shocked to learn that
| had entered a business house far
from home.
THAT meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest, for the church, and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought it wisest to follow
the example of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There were no 9th
er boys, so what could father and
mother do but exclaim, The Lords
will be done, and give US each a
parental blessing.
Years after, when brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconciled
to the loss sustained by the pulpits
of the country"

FLOWERS AS DEATH LURES

A curious instance of the devices
of nature to secure the continued ex-
istence of certain forms of life under
disadyantageOus circumstances has
recently attracted attention in a dis
cussion of the briIlancy of the coIors
Of Alpine flowers 1t is known that
insects are most important agents in
the fertilization Of flowers, and this is
true of the flowers that bloom along
the SHOWS of the Alps as well as of
those that cover the meadows far be

But it has been observed at the
same time that the bees and butter
flies which ascend the mountains in
order to visit the brightly colored
flowers growing there perish by the
thousands in the sudden cold that en-
velops the peaks and glaciers at night
fall
1t is only the extraordinary attrac-
tiveness of the beautiful mountain
flowers that induces their insect ad-
mirers to venture into the perilous
realm Of snow and ice.

HOW THE MIRACLE HAPPENED

Something like a miracle occurred
at Montclair, N. J., recently. Mrs.
Margaret Meskill went to the back
door of her home in answer to a
knock and found on the steps a one
legged man who asked aims. Mrs.
MeskiH was sympathetic, and in an
swer to a question the mendicant, a
giant in stature, began a tale of ac-
cident and misfortune. He was lead
ing up to the climax Of his descrip-
ton of the mishap that cost him
leg, when Tige, MeskilPs bulldog,
came near, and dashed for the beg
CARS leg. The next moment the ap-
parent miracle occurred. The sup
posed one-legged man suddenly de-
veloped into a spry two-limbed ath-
lete, and dashed away at ten-second
gait. Tige was called off after he
had chased the faker nearly a block.

TILTED LOVERS IN SARDINIA

A very strange custom prevails in
Sardinia. Tilted lovers are not permft-

but anything may be sung until eleven
o'clock at night. The offended lover
generally comes about nine o'clock,
accompanied by male friends, all of
whom have guitars. The lover sings a
song which is neither rhyme nor time,
shouting out the most violent abuse
in a series of scales and sustained
high and low notes. At the end OF
each phrase Of abuse his companions

HOW CAMEL TAKES HIS SMOKE

A curious fact is described in the
paper, II Tobacco" regarding the
tanning of wild animals by the natives
Of Morocco. A three cornered piece of
wood, through which a hole is drilled,
is placed in the mouth of the camel,
and a lighted cigar, very large and
loosely rolled, is then inserted in the
hole. AS soon as the animal starts to
draw it becomes very tame, and con-
tinues to inhale the smoke and to
emit it through it's nose. AS soon as
the first cigar is finished, a new one
must be put in its place, otherwise
the camel becomes furious and very
stubborn, fixes it's legs in the ground,
and cannot be made to move until the
cigar smokes again.
