WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building Up the
South in the Days Before the
Revolution.

Socially the white servant was an
important factor n helping to build up
a landed aristocracy in the south be-
cause he made possible the cultivation
OF extensive areas Of land, declares
writer in Harpers Magazine. But In
the course of few years he became
a free citizen and owner OF small
estate. Thus was developed yeoman
class, a much needed democratic ele-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands, where they were
needed to protect the frontier. Never
theless, they did not form distinct
class after becoming freedmen. Some
were doubtless the progenitors OF the
poor white trash" OF the south. but II
is likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor in producing
This class While comparatively few
rose to prominence yet there are some
notable examples ia the contrary. TWO

Higgins, erratic, demagogic, often
vicious tempered, was, when once his
championship had been enlisted, an en-
thusiastic advocate. AS he himself had
said, his heart was lin the right place,

the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out

ture Of the other, Broadway lost none
of merit through his defamation.
In that heart in the right place Hig-
gins had admired the way the smalish
city man had stood up TO his five feet
ten Of brawn and threatened to throw
him out of the building discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town if he did not cease threatening a
woman. He was sorry he had lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings Of the old-fashioned
enthusiasm. His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage OF the
wheels Of industry and the gathering
of eager groups about him 20 listen TO

Clara certainly knew nothing Of the
nature Of what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told
Higgins, in a sentence wherein anger
very freely mingled with the news of
his determination to retain and op-
crate the gum plant, could have been
accepted as good reason for such q

lreIand's Siqnposts.

Ireland is the country for useless
signposts. During the last few years
there has been an outbreak of Gaelic
League activity in the country. Among
other manifestations 1t has taken the
form OF erecting signposts with Gaelic
inscriptions. There is one such In the
little village Of Omeath. in County
Louth. 1t directs the traveller to Car
lingford and to Newry-but it directs
him in an unknown tongue. 1t is not
easy to see what useful purposes is
served by such a signpost. For the
inhabitant knows his way without any
such assistance and the English
speaking traveller is unable to find it
unless he happens to consult one Of
the villagers, not one of whom-so far
as | have been able to discover-can

CAR GOES 20.7 MILES
ON GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.
JUDGED by c. A. c. Committee.

Judged by c. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when, IL a dis
tance test on the bouleyards, 1915
big six went 28.7 miles on a gallon Of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
Of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee Of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, IS test was de-
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped, except when traffic congestion
made it necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was diSc0n-
nected, and in order that the test be
fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run.
Next came the aCceleration test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven from standing start to
thirty miles an hour in II As seconds.
The feXibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
UP to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used.
