The Story of One Man.
Well, here is the story of q man
who rides around all day-but not

Rare Treat in Store for Those Who

By WILLIAM ULLMAN.

With the date set for the auto show

every detail to be handled In connec-
ton with the exhibition has been at

to be sold, but It is ANTICIPATED that
these will be gone ere another week rolls

for space because they have been I'M

Plans for advertising the show have
been perfected and the committee in

ENGLAND LIKES OUR
1918 AUTOMOBILES
American Consul at Birmingham Says
Pupil Is Now Teacher.

American automobiles have a promis-
ing future ahead of them in the foreign
field, is the prediction OF Hon. Albert
Halstead. American Consul at Birming-
ham. England. who returned for a briet
visit to the United States last week. Mr..
Halstead's discussion OF the automobile
question. as it is related to foreign busl-
ness is considered extremely important
in as much as his post is located in the
heart OF the British industry.
Foreign makers dislike to admit the
influence America has exerted upon the
automobile trade abroad in the past few
years" said Mr.. Halstead. land espe-
cially that American imports and de-
signs, at least in the United Kingdom,
have caused an entirely new departure
In construction.
When Charles Y. Knight brought his
radical departure in engine design to
England. some five years ago. It was
scoffed at, perhaps because people could
not appreciate that anything worth
while could come from a country that
had been rather a pupil than a teacher
OF automobile designs. more than be-
cause Of its new principles. The success
OF this American invention doubtless had
influence in preparing the field for the
successful introduction of American cars,
a success that has been a notable char
acteristIc OF the declining years.
Although the English makers are do
ing their best to compete with the Amer
lean cars in price and durability. so far
as I have been able to learn nothing
practical has been developed.
AT least % per cent OF the standard
motor cars being sold in England at
present are of American manufacture,
and these cars are every day increasing
in favor with the people who are in the
market for best values, irrespective of
sentiment. One prejudice with the trade
early worked up against the American
made article has been largely dispeHed
by intimate contact with the article it.
self, and it is becoming less difficult
every day to sell the American car
abroad.
The best evidence OF the recognition
of the correctness Of the American mo-
tor car methods is the fact that one
of the largest English manufacturers
has struck out boldly for 1913 producing
and selling his output wholly upon
American lines. And others will I'M
doubtedly follow his lead.
THE balance sheets of the various
English motor car concerns reflect a
most healthy condition OF business In
England for the British manufacturer.
despite the introduction of American
cars. In fact the engineering trade of
Europe Is active almost beyond prece-
dent, and the volume of trade Is accu-
rately reflected in the tremendous de-
mand for high-grade steels which are
more difficult TO secure. Skilled mechan-
les were probably never more fully en-
ployed, and the automobile industry is
very largely responsible for this condi-
ton.
cit is also impossible to meet the de-
mand for machine tools of American
and other makes, and the filling of or
ders in most lines is much delayed"

playing cards were first known at Viterbo
in 1873, and were introduced by the Sara
Gems. 1t is a fact, however, that cards
were first called "Naibi." which suggests
that the Arabs and Moors. as well as the
Saracens, first introduced cards, for the
Hebrew, and Arabic words ''nabi,
''naba,' ''nabaa'' signify Ito foretell,
thus showing that their original purpose
was for divinatIon and that the playing
of games with them was an afterthought.
AS to the Eastern origin OF cards and
the theories connecting them with early
Eastern occult philosophy, DR.. wiltshire
regards them as Of too reconcile and
shadowy character to admit OF satisfac-
tory discussion. He inclines to the be-
lief that Italy was the European country,
and Venice the district, in which they
first appeared. They were in existence
at Venice in the fifteenth century, and
though at first they had only numerical
values, at this date there were coat"
Court cards. and "atritti'' CtrumpEO. In
Spain the pack, as now, consisted of fifty
two cards, but only contained numerical
values. There were many varieties in
France and Germany. and England
seems to have borrowed ideas from all
sides. especially from Italy. which ap-
pears to have supplied most Of the coun-
tries with ideas as to suits and court
cards. OF the four suits, the italian
cups became hearts in Germany,
France and England; money" became
bells in Germany, and diamonds in
France and England; clubs" became
leaves in Germany. "trebes' in France
and clubs" in England swords
Cspades) became "acorns" in Germany,
''piques" in France and spades in Eng
land. The devices and dresses Of the
kings and other court cards date from
the fifteenth century. But the old dresses
and devices have been discarded in
France, where often the court cards have
different historical names assigned to
them, and the aces have views Of differ
ent towns.

ROYAL GARDENERS.
EnEIand's Rulers Cultivate Flowers
for own Use.


From the Reheboth Sunday Herald
The King of England encourages his
sons to take an interest in farming.
Each one has his own plot at York cot
tage. This is carried on to such length
that Prince Henry, the third son of the
royal pair, just a little shaver and a pu-
pill, has a small garden at his school.
King George is fully persuaded that
gardening is the most invigorating pas
time in the world and that II more men
would devote an hour or two each day
in their gardens there would be fewer
complaints Of liver trouble and less need
for physical culture of an artificial ma
ture. And, what is more to the point
he lives up to his teachings. For within
the past year he has been known to take
a spade and dig vigorously for some
time.
Queen Mary's interest in gardening is
almost exclusively directed to the cult
walton Of roses, which are her favored
flowers. Her private rooms contain large
bowls filled with these fragrant blossoms
all the year round. Boxes Of them are
imported from France, when it is not
possible TO obtain them at home. As be-
fits the former Duchess of York, the
white rose is a special favorite with her
At her request large number Of white
rose trees have recently been planted in
the private gardens at Windsor
Another hobby Of King George is to
grow both flowers and vegetables in q
dollhouse. He was one of the first Eng
lish amateurs to give directions for the
French system of intensive" culture of
vegetables to be tried upon a large scale
These have turned out so satisfactory
that a considerable quantity of supplies
for the royal table at present is cult
waited at Frogmore in this manner.
