1t Is rather startling to hear that

Sir Arthur Mitchell admits that think

sleep may be different from when we
are awake, but the process goes on
just the same. Man cannot think un-
less he Is alive, and he cannot be
alive without thinking. Dreams are
not as confused as we think. They
become confused from the standpoint
Of memory. but are not from the point
OF the dream organ. Memory half
blurred in trying to recall them makes
dreaming seem confused. Dreams
born under normal conditions are nor

new STUDEBAKER CAR
is STRIKING NOVELTY
! Principal Innovation IL Seating Ar.
Observation-Disclosures
Six Passengers.

Just as the experts were lamenting
the lack Of striking novelty in the new
crop of motor cars. along comes the
Studebaker corporation with q feature SO
obviously good that every one Is wonder
ing why It hasn't been in general use for
years.
The innovation is a seating arrange
ment which,. while accommodating six
adult passengers. instead Of the conven-
tional five. presents rakish, graceful lines
heretofore attained only by lligh-pow-
cred, four-passenger types.
The new Studebakers body is narrow,
graceful and long, and avoids the high,
flaring rear seat. common to the popu-
lar-priced touring car. The ample room
in the tonneau Is occupied by four for
which. when not In use. fold compactly
and pivot against the sides out of the
way. This body will be the standard
equipment Of both the Studebaker 49,
and the Studebaker six"
Another Studebaker novelty is an cleo
trio self-cranking and lighting device,
said to be a marvel OF power, simplicity
and compactness. This device connects
with the motor by means OF a silent
chain. When the car Ia running the cleo
trical apparatus stores up current. The
cranking operation Is governed by a
cable attached to a handle on the steer
ing column. With this cable held taut
the electric motor cranks the car inded-
nitely-for q half hour. II necessary-at q
Sales Manager Benson declares that
the new line enables Studebaker dealers

BRICK MAKES GOOD,
SUBSTANTIAL ROAD
Economical and Efficient Ma
teriaf Serious Problem
for Experts.

The proposition of finding a type of
construction that will be both economical
and efficient is among the most serious
problems OF the present day" says Bev-
eriy Fleet, secretary TO the highway COM
mission OF New York state. Although"
he continues. the present method of lay
Ing brick roadways has not been in use
long enough to obtain actual figures, 1t Is
expected that these roads as now built
will last for at least thirty or forty years
without repair. II this estimate proves
correct brick will be an economical form
Of construction IN the end in spite of the
first cost of about 500 600 a mile for a six
teen-foot pavement laid on concrete
base.
while the commission has laid a great
many miles of brick pavement this sea-
son. 1t is, however. limited to the mile
age of this class of pavement which II
can construct Oh account of the first cost.
The special laws of 1911 provide that a
certain mileage must be constructed with
a given amount Of money. and in order to
construct this mileage the commission has
used the cheaper form of construction
where the traffic conditions are not SC
heavy. Automobiles. especially motor
trucks have played havoc with the
types of construction which up to a very
few years ago would have been perfectly
satisfactory.
The commission has also had fair sue
cess with concrete roadway built with
a frst-class concrete base five or SIX
inches thick, upon which was placed q
bituminous wearing surface half an inch
in thickness. This type has been con
paving companies and has given some
fair and some few unfortunate results

rum the Str8nQ.
Shorthand is now so well known and
SO widely practiced that we are apt to
think of it merely as q product OF our
own bustling times. Nevertheless. the
history of the art Of shorthand writing
extends over q period of some thousands
OF years. and its origin, in spite of much
discussion and the production Of an enor-
nous amount Of literature on the sub
Ject. is obscured in the mists Of antiquity.
1t is a history filled with humor, with
romance and even with tragedy.
The first system of which we have
definite knowledge has itself a romantic
story. 1t is the system Of Marcus Tul-
Illus Trio, originally a slave of the i'm
mortal Cicero. Whether Trio was the
inventor of the method he used. whether
1t was devised by Cicero, or whether the
system was much older than either, are
points upon which historians have squab-
bled for centuries. but the fact remains
df 1t had not been for this gifted slave
many of the famous orators most treas
ured speeches would never have been re-
corded and SO useful to his master that
he was given his freedom by Cicero, be-
coming his private secretary and stanch
friend.

tention must be given now is how to get
good roads, and the quickest and best
way to get them is for the federal gov
eminent to lay out and construct sys-
tenn of national roads connecting all the
states, providing a medium for interstate
traffic and furnishing an object lesson
to the states. as well as relieving them
of the burden Of improving the main
travelled routes
The subject Of highway improvement

upbuilding of state highway systems,
while at the same time actively working

then the compression leak must be In
ternal. probably the valves. OF the two
valves. namely tho intake valve and the
exhaust valve, the latter must be In
spected first. The new gases when
drawn into the cylinder have a tendency
to keep the intake valve clean. while the
exhaust valve becomes foul from the
passing of burned gases and carbon. A
small piece Of carbon will unseat the ex-
haust valve and cause the loss of com.
preston. With a little emery and oil
and slight grinding the valve may
easily be reseated.
Carbon deposit on the exhaust valve
seat is a common trouble, but not the
only one that causes loss of compression.
A warped valve stem. especially In mo-
tors inclined to overhead, is very COM
mon. In such instances 1t Is best 20 re-
place the valve with q new one Then
again the valve adjustment at the base
Of the valve stem proper should be noted.

Macadam Roads Lead.

1.-The greater portion Of highways the
past year has been constructed Of btu
minous macadam. Macadam has been in
use for many years, but the idea Of using
bituminous material as a binder Is a re-
cent practice and is probably more used
in New York than any other section of
the country. In this connection the COM
mission is preparing statistics and arrang-
ing to adopt some system to regulate the
weight of loads to the width Of tires.
This particular point has been agttated
time and again. but the conditions are
now such that the commission feels 1t is
imperative that its ideas be put In force
THE commission also has supervision
over the building and upkeep of highway
bridges. although each locality furnishes
its own funds. The commission has put
an end to the former method Of having
bridge contractors submit plans and bids
and the awards made by q committee
composed Of laymen- Now an expert
bridge designer from the department pre-.
pares plans upon which contractors SUBJ
NIT their bids. Thus up-to-date bridges
are constantly replacing the old wooder
ones. And 1t is we'll that this Is SO. fol
with the travel on the improved high
ways constantly increasing and the av.
erage weight of load growing greater
day by day something more permanent
than wood is needed to Withstand the
wear and tear.
