UPTON FOR THE CUP.

Americans would probably rather see Sir Thomas Lipton win the Am erica cup than any other foreigner. During the former races he has prov en himself to be a real sportsman and has taken his defeats like a man. The Earl of Dunraven was unable to hide his chagrin when he met defeat but Lipton only tried the harder and Is willing to try again. It has often been said that Sir "Tea" Lipton only gets into the yachting game to keep his business before the eyes of the consumers. No matter what a man does there are always found some to ascribe an ulterior motive. but Lipton has proven himself to have sporting qualities of the best kind in many other fields and may not have ad- vertising alone in view.
 But if he did build yachts for ad- vertising purposes solely. and if he Is willing to spend hundreds of thou sands of dollars just to keep his name. and not his teas. before the eyes of the public 1t only goes to show what a really successful business man thinks of advertising as a means of increasing business.
 A man who keeps his name before the public keeps his business before the public. The customer will deal with the man whose name he often sees instead of with the man whose names he does not know. What the real. psychological reason for this might be 1t would be hard to say. but 1t is just as true as 1t is true to say that ''The charge of the Six Hundred" was no better than many others. only the Noble Six Hundred" had Tenny- son for an advertising agent. Ger tainly the famous charge was heroic. but others just as brave have been made no doubt. and many another Horatius has kept a bridge but lacked a Macauley.
 Lipton knew human nature. That Is how he made millions out of . few hundred dollars. When he opened q little store in Glasgow he sent a big fat pig or two around the streets Now the possession of big fat pig or two does not mean that better groceries, or bacon. can be obtained

TIME.

Time consists os minutes. hours. days and years of which a certain unknown amount are deposited 10 each persons account when he Is born. and on which account said per son proceeds to draw with the care- fuI frugaIity of an intoxicated sailor celebrating his return from two years voyage in a lumber schooner.
 Time IS much more valuable than money. because when 1t runs out there isn't any more; whereas In these prosperous days a man may fall in business a dozen times and stiu die with all the modern conveniences.
 The average man only has 35 years of time. He spends his first year s4ualling. the next year crawling. the next fifteen baseballing and the next four chasing knowledge around a col lege campus and trying to e.ttch 1t with a hat which has a band on it that Is louder than Sousa's.
 In the matter of time almost every one Is rich but millionaires. Many a poor man can take 7s hours of time and go fishing with it on 10 minutes notice-wh hereas many a millionaire has to dictate with his fingers while an attendant is feeding him lunch in order 10 keep sl.s7s worth of time from being entirely wasted
 Some people are very careful of their tims and spend 1t in reading good books. helping the poor family down the street. soaking in the beau ties of nature and making their fam lilies happy. Others are so criminally careless that they will waste s0 bright. beautiful years accommodating a binful of suspicious wealth. few in- dictments and a ruined digestion.
 Many a man works frantically for 10 years in order that he may have the rest of his time to himself and then finds that his account is over drawn and the undertaken IS at that minute turning the corner into his street on two wheels.-San Francisco Call.

at as cheap a price as they could be

st as cheap a price as they could be obtained from the man who has no fat pig "on the hoof." but Lipton knew that when the people got to talking about him and his piss they would next find themselves attracted subty toward his store. He could hardly tell you why. but he certainly knew and his knowledge has made him one of the greatest merchants Ia the world
 When many people talk about a1- vertising they forget the psychology of the question Because they do no; sec two dollars handed over the coun- ter immediately in return for one dol lars worth of advertising they begin io think that they are getting no value for their money. No immediate re- turns, or apparent returns. mean to them no returns at all
 sir Thomas IIp;on never said. "oh. hang 1t. they all know I'm here Whats the use" What he did say was. I'll keep my name before them. People will deal with the man whose name they hear most often"
 What if a yacht does not prove the excellence of sausAses. IL shows that Llpion exists. and when you speak of LIpten or oi anyone else his name Is associated with hls calling. Therefore ST T. ;. Lipton becomes Sir Tea I4pton and that Is part of the advsr- Using battle won.

ALAskA'S CLIMATE.

Here comes another fall which has all the appearance of being as balmy as the preceding one. and that story of the shifting of the Japan current seems 10 have more in 1t than appear ed at first sight. Whatever the cause might be 1t certainly looks as though We were having a change for the bet ter. Looking back one can remember that the hrst week in October usually brought very severe weather. It might be that we are becoming so acclimat- ized that cold Is not so severely felt Or could 1t be the heat of politics?

Titanium.
From Harper's Weekly.

Titanium, hitherto regarded as a reia-
lively unimportant constituent Of the
earth's crust, is the ninth in abundance
of all the chemical elements. The tita-
MUM in the earth's crust is estimated to
be about four-tenths of / per cent
Perhaps the most successful prepare
ton of pure titanium is that Of Nilsson
and Peterson, who reduce a titanium
CHORD with sodium. The metal thus OBJ
tanned looks just Like polished STEEL but
is brittle when cold. heated to a low,
red heat, it can be forged like hot iron
but If the temperature is carried too high
the metal oxidizes specifically in con-
tact with air. 1t can be polished on
grin6stone. but II is too hard to be cut by
a hack-saw. 1t can, however. be shaped
with a file. Rods OF pure titan.um six
inches long have been made. Analysis
shows that the metal contains no impuri-
ties.
The British scientists Fowler has de-
scribed his comparison of the spectrum of
the va able sta Mirt with that of tia
MUM oxid. He finds that the two spectra
are. for the greater part. Identical TIE
curious bands seen in the spectrum Of
Mira are shown to be due to titanluru
oxid Prof. Fowler also finds evidence Of
the presence of vanadium In the same
star The lines Of titanium and vanadium
have likewise been discovered in the light
of sun-spots, leading the astronomer,
Father Cortie, to remark that Sun-spo's
and the star Mira are evidently very
closely connected in their physical conuI.

Delegates Were Convinced.


J.. e. Pennybacker. secretary of the
American Highway = ssoc' alton, in speak

II believe that every delegate at the
CONGRESS went home convinced of the i'm
mediate and pressing Importance Of thor
ough and systematic road maintenance.
be lieve that resu is WI! be seen IN the
form of definite appropriation for MAIN
tenance, and the adoption of sytems pro-
viding for continuous inspection and
ma ntenance of heavy traffic roads
The indirect benefits which come to the
engineers and public officials from per-
sonal exchange of ideas and expert
ences are far-reaching. and undoubtedly
are exceedingly beneficial to the cause of
better roads This touching of elbows
so to speak, coun' ed for more at the
American Read Congre- tran at an"
other road meeting ever held. because Of
the fact that at least 81 per cent Of Tho e
who attended the congress were men seri-
ously engaged in the work of lettering
pub ic roads.
This association looks with favor upon
the investigation by. the pre- 'ent JOINT
committee of Congress toward giving
federal aid in the construction recon-
struction and maintenance of highways

The Altitude Record.
From the CHICAGO Journal.

From the CHICAGO Journal
The altitude record for aeroplanes has
climbed more than 5000 feet during the
present year. At the beginning of .Jl2
the highest altitude reached by an aero
plane was 1900 feet The other day a
Frenchman-of course-drove his mono
plane TO a height of 1854 feet.
sheer precip.ce Of OO0 feet from top
to bottom is very rare. and the men who
can look over such a prec:p,ce without
qualms are still Jarer. Yet here was a
man poised on a frail web of wood and
wire and Goth more than $4,000 feet
above the earth.
He was 1900 feet higher than Pike 8

FOR ROAD
BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Pennsylvania Highway Com
mission Has Much VAL
uab.e Data.

AS a result Of far-reaching investiga-
ton which has been going on for the past
year, the state highway commission Of
the state of Pennsylvania is now in pos
session Of valuable Information on the
subject of road construction. In prepa
ration for the launching of a comprehen-
sive and practical road building cam
paign. following the expected approval of
a tifty-miLion- dollar bond issue to finance
the great work, the comm ssion has been
testing out methods Of construction and
materials for road foundation. body and
top dr<ssing
T/ese researches in Pennsylvania have
Zen more thorough than have ever be-
fore been made by a similar department.
Instead Of depending entii ely on la,Jo-a-
tory tests and analyses. the policy has
been to use the different methods and
materials in actual construction of Sec
tons of roa:s where they would be sub
jected to various kinds of usage and
wear. Thus the different types Of road
have been tested by actual use in farming
and manufacturing districts. as well as
for their resistance to the peculiar wear
and tear Of the ever-increasing automo-
BILE travel.

To Study Local Conditions.

In this manner has been worked out
the best method for each locality In which
main state roads are to be butt. and II
is believed that by use Of the best adapt
ed materials. local supplies to be employ
ed where feasible. the new highways will
stand up under automob- lie traffic and at
the same time not present too hard a sur
face for farmers teams. A lasting. DUR
able surface which will give the state
value for its money and at the same time
enable maintenance with a minimum of
repair expense has been the object The
time is rapidly approaching when the use
Of the automobile Will be genei al in haul
ing farm produce. and in addition to pro-
viding for general motor travel ami
horses consideration has to be given to
the heavy trucks which are coming into
use on farms.
Sentiment for the ratification Of the
proposed SOC. 900, 900 bond issue for roaas
is growing rapidly in rural communit es
as the benefits to be derived are becoming
apparent. 1t is a notable fact that goo
roads are included m the platforms Of
practically all the legislative candidates
Those who are to be elected next mont h
will vote In the legislature next winter
on the resolution 20 submit the bond issue
to the PEG lie Of the state.
1t is because the officers Of the Penn
sylvania Motor Federation. representing
the automobile owners Of the state, have
satisfied themselves OF the thorough prep
aration OF the state highway department
for building genuinely good roads, that
the federation is earnestly advocating the
fifty million-do loan.
