NEW SENSE OF TOWER
 SORELY TEMPTS MOTORISTS

Whenever the question of unnee- essary noise SO far as automobile horns and other types of warning signals are concerned comes up in a community, about the first thing the investigator discovers is, that the person who has just become motorlst is usually inclined to yio- late both the speed and the noise ethics.
 Mir. Roy F. Britton of st. Louis' in speaking of this very matter the other day. said: "The man we have most trouble with is the one, who has just learned to drive mo- tor car. He revels in two facts' sense of possession and a sense Of power. It fairly thrills him to feel that he has at his fingers ends the aiIity to drive his machine at break neck speed. and to make people re- alize by the steady blowing of his electric horn that he Is approaching.
 q do not think any one can real i2e this, the extent of this tempta- tion, who has not driven a motor car. Older motorists are not alto gether free from yielding to the temp ta,ion. The result is that the right sort of legislation, such as we have restricting the use of warning sig nals to an abrupt sound, sufficiently loud to be heard above the noise of traffic, is an absolute necessity. And the further provision that a warning signal be only used as warning of real danger existing brings about the most desirable rseults."

 Football covers are made from the material that goes to make your best shoes-calfSkin. And only the very best grade of skin IS used for good balls Cheap balls. such as kids buy at the corner S;ure. are made of sheepskin. The bladder which Is in the ball Is rub Der.
 A visit to the factory where the great est number of footballs are turned out eliclts more interesting information. For instance. a shop sage says that the reason the ball Is called pigskln Is that 10 the old days . pigs bladder was used 10 give huoyancy to the ball. The bladder bas been discarded and rubber substituted

AS word widow" is most interest ing Max Mueller traced 1t back through thousands of years with hard ly any change of form or meaning. "The word at its original formation meant simply a woman left without a man, just as It does today, and 1t has remained all these ages materially un- changed both in sound and meaning ' A thousand years ago the Anglo-SaI- ons used the word in England and north Germany. The Meso-GOths and, earlier than they, the Latin people knew 1t centuries before the Anglo SaIons, and the Sanskrit records show that a thousand years before Latin was written the same word was spo- zen on the slopes of the Himalayas.

A Fools Identity.

Some of the best known people pass unrecognized by those to whom they should be known. Harold Frederick sat one night at dinner next a man whose very silence and taciturnity caused him the more closely cOvertly to survey him. Not word was eX- changed between the two. Who was that hopeless idiot that I sat next to at dinnerG" asked Frederick at the close of the meal. That hopeless idiot was Cecil Rhodes" he was answered. 1t was the fact. The Colossus had been in one of the moods in which be would not talk, and Frederick, though he had seen his portrait a hundred times, had not recognized him.-St. James Ga- Estte.

In the latitude of New York a pen dulum must be 39.1 inches to vibrate every second. Nearer to the pole such pendulum would vibrate more rapidly and nearer to the equator more slowly for the reason that the pull of the earth Is less, since at the equator the pendulum is farther from the center of gravity of the earth.-Christian Her aid

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? -. -. -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of it's readers.
"The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
THE combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"
