Sport of Collar spottinq.

Collar spotting," the new automo-
bile sport, is at its best when the
streets are dirty enough to hold pud-
dies OF water. When the broadly
tired wheel of the machine strikes
such puddle thin but solid sheet
OF water is thrown upward and out
ward. the path it takes being deter
mined by the speed of the machine,
the depth of the liquid and, to a GER
tain extent, its consistency. These
three factors make the aiming of tho
sheet matter of great skill. When
the puddle is close to the curb it is
possible for the expert spotter, by
swerv.ng into it, to throw the sheet
in such way as 10 hit a mans col.
lar-even when it's a narrow one
or the white feathers on q woman's
hat. Not every one is IS expert as
this, but the great fun Of the sport
lies in the fact that even when you
miss your aim you're pretty sure tt
hit something, if It's only skirts OF
trousers of pedestrians

CRoWDING TO SEE TENNYSoN
Congregation Would Not Leave West
minister Abbey Without Glimpse
of the Great Poet.

Sir James Knowles accompanied AL
fred Tennyson to the funeral Of Dick

scribes in 'Tennyson and His Friends"
the scene when the crowd identified
the distinguished visitor. There was
an immense congregation that day in
the abbey and when the service was
over we stood up waiting long time
to pass out through the rails But in
stead of dispensing by the outer door
the people all turned eastward and
f1ocked toward the altar, pressing
closer and closer up to the sacra rum.
The chances of getting out became
less and less, and | turned to Tenny-
son and said; I don't know what all
this means, but we seem so hemmed
IN that it is useless to move yet
Then man standing by me whis-
pered: L don't think they will go, sir,
so long as your friend stands there.
/ Of course I saw at once what was
happening had got to be known
that Tennyson was present and the
solid throng was bent on seeing him.
Such popularity had never occurred
to me or to him, and justified his
nervous unwilhngness to be seen in

1t Is pity In some ways that travel,
even to the uttermost parts of the
earth, has become in this age so much
matter of course. Not so long ago a
first sight of London or Paris would
bring thrill to an American; and as
he entered into old world culture and
felt its settled traditions, he was apt
to be lifted out of himself by constant
surprises. But now, with hundreds of
periodicals recounting and actually
picturing the march of events. with
the signs of Persia and the outcries of
China heard here almost as soon as
they are uttered, travel and foreign
acquaintance have lost much of their
romance and refreshment Set an In

Not long ago a number of secret
SERVED men were sent to a little hill
town in South Carolina from whence
came apparently unlimited quantities
of "moonshine" whiskey. Though it
was well known that the whiskey
was being made without paying the
tax it had proved virtually impossible
to apprehend the makers. None Of
the residents in the town would tell
a thing The only hope of a visitor
was to go from house to house
through the wilds of the mountains
until he located the still-and then
he stood an excellent chance of
having his body shipped back to
Washington by express.
AS previous attempts to apprehend
the violators of the law had failed
the chief of the secret service order
ed his men to disguise themselves as
countrymen. He selected operatives
who easily were able to initiate the
drawing dialect of the section and
gave them as much time as they
wanted to get in" with the resi-
dents and find the lawbreakers.
1t took those men months before
they were able TO locate the law
breakers - who, by the way, were
operating in the cellar of one of the
houses in the village. They convict
ed the men and, temporarily at least.
broke up the distilling industry in
THAT community.
A case that is matter OF record
relates to the manufacture of spu-
rious tobacco tax stamps on the
paper which the government uses.
This case was run down by Chief
Flynn's men after months OF hard
work. They traced the paper used
for the stamps to the very factory
which manufactured the government IS
paper and found where the leak
was.

cult to decide where the greatest in

ers. But there are individual cases
