FULL OF POWER.
Also Extraordinary Enough to Beat
 Cabman's Fare.

Plenipotentiary and extraordinary mean something at last. If you don believe 1t. ask the taxicab chauffeur who drove Baron Von HenSelmuller. the Austrian Ambassador F. and F. from Hobolen pier to a hotel in Manhattan, charged $6.50 for the job, and got only $3.25 anu diplomatic smile. It was the most extraordinary thing that ever happened to that drlN- er or any other driver So much for the F. part of the baron's title. Now, as any chauffeur knows, plenipoten- tiary means full of power. But T; was never dreamed before that just one foreigner. who has not even taken out his first papers and doesn't m- tend to, had more power than an en- tire board of thoroughly Americanized aldermen, some of whom have been in this country half a generation, ana all of whom have tried again and again to reduce taXicab fares, which have kept right on going up.
 But the baron, by refusing to pay what he considered an eXorbitant charge. has called attention to the real cause of the trouble. The alder men are aldermen extraordinary but not aldermen plenipotentiary. Only the chauffeurs themselves and the walters and the hat check boys and theater ticket agents are plenipoten tiarv in this country. But the baron has suggested a remedy. Everybody should be an ambassador or at least a. minister from d foreign part, and therefore immune against arrest for not paying the cabman.
 As it is now, there are only ten am bassadOrs and twenty mine ministers accredited to this nation, but the world is full of islands and utopias which might be set up as govern ments, temporarily, just for the pur- pose of flooding this country with en-

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD.

The Automobile Club of America Is calling the attention of motorists to several features of the New Jersey reciprocity automobile law. recently enacted Among the features which do not seem to be understood are the following:
 Tt is no longer possible to trans fer a registration certificate from one car to another. although the registra- ton may be transferred from the pre- vious owner to the purchaser of a car
 All application for the registra ton of commercial vehicles must be accompanied by an affidavit stating the exact weight of the vehicle un- loaded This is necessary in order to determine whether the vehicle is sub ject to the additional tax of $10 be cause exceeding the prescribed limit of~4OOO pounds.
 Despite the fact that there has been an increase of 90 per cent in the cost of individual registration there has been no change in the cost of manufacturers and dealers li censes, the old rates of 8 a vehicle being still in force This was evi- dently an oversight on the part of Nhe Jersey legislators.
 In regard to manufacturers i censes. the question whether the fir teen day privilege extended to the li cense number or to the individual car may have to be passed on by the state attorney general.
 The use of chains is permitted when the roads are slippery from rain. snow, ice, oil or manner of con- structiOn. This means that their use is lawful when necessary for the pro- lection of life or property.
 "The use of the muffler cut-Outs is prohibited within the limits of any city, town or borough in the state and all exhaust pipes must be di- rectly parallel to the ground or slight ly upward. This latter provision. if enforced, will necesstate a change in the construction of some autOmo- bileS"

WOODEN TIRE.
For Motor Cars Is Cheap, Has Elas-
 ticty and Wears for Years.

A well known inventor. Mir. John Henry Knight, the builder of the first tWo-seated petrol-car made in Eng land. has devised an ingenious substi- tute for the rubber tire, which should be particularly serviceable for com mercial vehicles, says Chambers Jour nal. He has selected wood for this purpose. owing to it's remarkable elasticity. which is strikingly illus trated in the archers bow. which re- tains it's original elasticity for half a century or more. Two years ago he evolved a tire made from ash, fit ting it to an experimental wheel A inches in diameter. which, without the intervention of any carnage spring. easily carried load of four or five hundredWeight He found this to run over road surfaces and ob- stacles quite easily and without sui fering any damage. Then he fitted up a similar pair of wheels which were used as drivers on his six horse power Darracq This vehicle has been in use for several months. during which time it has covered hundreds of miles over roads of all descrlp- tions, with slight signs of wear. Whh" as regards riding comfort and etil- ciency, the tire appears to be quite equal 10 solid rubber. The tire IS built up of sections of ash bolted on the rim in two rows If the vehicle is heavy thc number of rows may ha increased The blocks of ash break joint with one another i. Q. the joint of one row is not placed over the joint of another TOW. In the ends of the blocks are saW-cuts, and wedge-shaped piece is cut away to give additional elasticity. Before the blocks are bolted on the wheel they are bent. to d somewhat greater curve than the circumference of the wheel, bv steaming The blocks haVe steel cleats on them as q protection against being split on the road. If one block is damaged it can be replaced in a few minutes If a block is struck with a hammer the tool rebounds in the same way as if it hit spring or a block of India rubber. The cost of these wood tires, which are short ly to be placed on the market, IS es- timated to be from one sixth to one fourth that of rubber tires, so that if the wooden tires last only half as long as rubber ones they must rep resent considerable economy. It is expected that these wooden tires will overcome side slipping. while they will go through sand or over soft ground where a rubber tire would be useless

PLAIN WORDS ON A SOLEMN
 SUBJECT

Tn an article by Anne Bryan Mccall in the August Woman's Home Com panion, entitlde What Girl Elk poets of a Man." appears the follow ing:
 And this brings me to speak of that thing which we discuss if at all, with too little frankness: the strength of purity in a man. For whatever other strength a man may have, this would seem to be the highest type of strength and it is the supreme strength that the normal woman longs for. Yet this is the very thing of which we speak least and are generally ab- surdly shy of mentioning; so much so that many girl does not even know whether the man she consents to marry has this higher type of strength.
 You may argue backward and for ward about a mans stronger tempta- tions; you may argue that the aver age girl is not capable of judging or what these temptations are, and so is not qualified to judge of man weakness when he fails; but the old demand for strength is still there and cannot be put aside by this or any other argument. It is still strength that the girl expects, and strength that the finest type of girl demands.
 Again, you see we come back to the same point. There is at the bot tom no other way to a true woman'' favor than by strength. This is not my preference, nor yours, nor mere opinion; it is a great fundamental law of nature. one of the underpinnings of the world we live in and the civ ilization we enjoy; strength manifest ed in a hundred ways, manifested as health, bravery, courage, daring. cour-
