Highland Garage Announcement

That the Marmon and the 4suick would be equipped with the self-starting device, that every modern improvement would be incorporated in the 1913 model and that all products of these two companies had been sold for the year was the in- teresting announcement yesterday of L.. A. Whitehead, vice president of the High land Garage company. He said that his agency had on hand six Bucks, three of which had been sold and the remaining three were the only ones available for this year. As to the Marmon he pointed out that only one remained of the vast number secured by the local agency and no more were available for the present season. The company has been in busi- ness only short time, but has achieved marvellous success in the line of cars ham, dled. B. M. Brazeal is sales manager for the conpany

Gunpowder as Fertilizer

From the Washington Cor. Boston Ad vertiser.
 There being so much change in the fashion of gunpowder it has come about that the navy departmen has lot of old brown powder on its hands. and being unable to persuade anybody to buy 1t or use 1t. 1t Is raising crops from 1t, report says, using 1t to it's own sur prise as a fertilizer.
 The brown powder went out of fash ion because 1t made too much smoke. and it went when smokeless powder was invented The old powder con- tained about so per cent potassium nitrate consisting of potash and nitro gen, both of which are largely constitu- ents in fertilizers.
 Not being able to dispose of the pow der in any way, the navy authorities at Indian Head. the nayys proving grounds, wrote to the agricultural de- partment asking if the department would not please use the powder as a fertilizer, but Profs. Whitney and Cam eron said that while there were no theo- retical reasons why the power should not make good fertilizer, they would rather have some one else use it. pr. True of the experiment station, also refused the powder, saying he was not raising crops that way
 The Indian Head authorities, however. were not taken back by these refusals

Detroit A Mecca

That city upon the banks of the north ern lakes which has been described as a great automobile town is the mecca for local automobile men just at this time. As noted Hubert Drenned and Red Smith have made the journey and have embibed of the information there dis pensed. Another Cadillac man, Thomas Morris, left yesterday for that. city with E. R. Minhennett, Jr., president of the Taxicab and Touring Car company. They will be away for ten days. They will be followed within the next few days by Lee A Whitehead and B. M. Brazeal of the Highland garage. In addition to visiting Detroit the Highland garage officials in- tend to stop at Lansing, Chicago and In- dianapolis. They will be away several days. MT. Whitehead said yesterday that MT. Brazeal intended to drive a Marmon through the country from Detroit, and he would probably drive a Buick, that per- formance depending upon the weather and whether 1913 model could be secured this early in the season.

DOG CONQUERED ELEPHANT
Gunda Quaked With Fear When Pup
 Invaded His Cage

From the New York World.
 Gunda, the 70o0-pound elephant in the Bronx zoo, was taking an elephantine siesta in the inclosure before his home when he discovered a stranger in the yard. A dog had worked his way in and was advancing upon the proprietor with sharp barks
 The dog knew no fear, but Gunda, shaking with 1t. let out a roar that brought everybody on the grounds to the inclosure. Tremblingly. the big beast backed into his house with the dog following. and both disappeared within. More roars shook the build- ing before Keeper Truman arrived. He found the pup on the point of crawling up the elephants trunk. pried the anil mals apart, and threw the dog out. Tn gratitude Gunda wound his trunk caress- ingly about his keeper, who dried the

A New Kind of Cow

From The Vegetarian.
 Notwithstanding vegetarians are be- ing scoffed at and dubbed "cranks. more and more are coming into the field and the cause is advancing at a rapid rate.
 This is not so much due to the effort of vegetarians as it is the result of sociological conditions
 The surface of the earth Is so chang ing. the population so increasing, that the raising of cattle for culinary pur- poses is each year becoming more of a problem.
 Each year science gives us some new food element to replace the barbarian n piece of roast flesh.
 The latest announcement reveals that milk, butter and cheese can be made out of beans.
 This milk producing bean is spe- cial variety however-the Sofa bean, a native of China.
 A Chinese chemist has factory in France working out the problem of milk from beans. He has succeeded in making from this Sofa bean milk, fine quality of butter and highly delsctable cheese The Chinese followed the arts, crafts and sciences which other nations today consider modern thousands of years be- fore western civilization was dreamed of.
 This skilled Chinese chemist has found out how the COW can convert the grass into milk and cream. and with out this extraneous incumbrance. We may have our milk, our butter and i cheese grown in our back garden with out the annoyance of conditions un- pleasant to the fastidious and refined

The Armies of Europe

From the Argonauf.
 Europe has now reached a point where the size of her armies has become matter for anxious comparison. So here are some of the figures that play a part in a future Arma ageddon. Count ing the active list and the reserves that Is to say. all trained men--Eng g. land can put into the field 970 S64 sol diers France 4,T77000 Austria 2,690965 Russia, 6.73941S, and Germany 476S,52O. There are, of course, other nations that would try 10 be helpful in a smaller way, and there are quite a number of warships that would give maritime variety to the scene So that a rough estimate of the military strength of Europe in this year of Onr Lord 1912, shows the existence of some 20,000,000 men fostered and trained by science, art and finance to regard kill ing each other as their chief aim in life. The reduction of armaments seems to be still some way off, unless indeed these same armaments are to be reduced in another way, by the lex talionis.

SOME NEWS AND GOSSIP
 OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO
 AUTOMOBILISTS AND OTHERS
By CLYDE ". ENNIS

Local automobile men are watching with interest born of long suffering, the movement destined to clear the down. town business sections of the berated Bel gian blocks The terrific cost which this class of pavement places upon automobile owners has caused them more concern over the removal of that class of pave ment than any one proposition excepting the regretable country road conditions. The city proposes to remove the blocks as soon as the committee of property owners visit a few larger cities and look over the pavements there. That commit tee will report within the next few days whereupon the bids which are on hand for asphalt wood blocks and bitulithic will be awarded. It is said that some of the commissioners are wild about the wood block pavement which has been tried out on Highland avenue as well as in many other cities. The property own CTS who must pay for the removal of the Belgian blocks and the substitution of the other pavements. are also interested in the wood blocks. The committee be- fore the commissioners the other day ex- pressed interest in wood blocks and gave as one reason for the postponement of &C., tion their wish to see the wood blocks tried out under heavy traffic.
 The Belgian blocks have been in the downtown district for the past 15 years in many placss and in some places even longer. It Is interesting to observe that the Belgian blocks were placed on First avenue and Twentieth street when an OK team could not travel there for the heavy mud allowed to remain there. The solu- tion of the problem at that time was Belgian blocks winch had come into spe cial attention at that time. The contrac- tor who placed the blocks is resident of Birmingham now, and was an inter- ested spectator at the commission meet ing the other day when the doom of the Belgian blocks was sounded.

An Editorial of Interest

The following editorial of George Horace Lorimer in the Saturaay Evening Post was offered this department for repro duction by the Automobile Dealers asso- citation:
 What an automobile wants from the public is good roads. six-thousand-dol- lar car in a trackless swamp is worth less than one mule and blackboard. On the other hand, a six-hundred-dollar run about on smooth macadam is easily worth a mllion-if the day Is fine and you have that much to spare Admittedly one o1 the public's most urgent needs is also good roads. What farmers especially would gain by them has been convincing ly set forth time and again. Here then, are two parties with a common want; but there is little cooperation between them. Below for example, is the actual tax bill on a five-passenger touring car:

to convert an implement of war into an agricultural use, so they poured some of the water on the grounds upon the powder and worked the connection upon the truck patch on the proving grounds, and they say that the result has been beyond expectation. The garden truck was best imaginable. It Is said that the plan is now being tried on larger scale than before, nevertheless there are some skeptics left, and they say they will re- main unconvinced until they see lawns watered with the powder and remain in- tact in their greenness after some cigar ette stump shall have lighted upon 1t.

the way back home to handle a matter of some consequence at Gadsden.
 MT. Drennen is wildly enthusiastic over the Cadillac car for 1913 He pointed out that the difference will not be in the visible physical appearance of the car, but will be in the vast improvement of the self-starting device and the lessening of the weight of the machinery connected with that modern equipment. He said that the Cadillac factory had employed the inventor of the self-starting arrange ment and each improvement made went onto the Cadillac cars previous to all others. One years lap is thus maintained, according to MT. Drennen, on the other cars.
 He was very much pleased to say that MT. Underwood's defeat at Baltimore was received with imnneasurable regrets in several places where he stopped, but that the boys intended to rally to the general cause.

His Epitah

From the Kansas City Star.
 ''Whos who in America" is the stano- ard volume of biography of living Amer jeans. The latest issue contains more than 1SO00 names, which is 5000 more than were included in the preceding edition. It Is a matter of some interest, therefore. to find this entry:
 Cook, Frederick Albert, explorer; see Vol 190S-1909.''
 Most persons, of course. do not live 10 see their epitaphs thus neatly printed.

Inspecting Cadillacs

The local employees of the Drennen garage are inspecting all Cadjllacs sold this year. It was announced that every owner of a Cadillac was being asked for information about their cars and wherever any wrong was discovered, however slight, the company wanted to make it good. By this arrangement the company is not waiting until personal complaints are registered
