Once there was a Husky employed
Works that did not offer an attractive
Vista from the Car Window, although
it blossomed with a fragrant crop of
Dividends every time the Directors
got together In the Back Room.
Most Of the American Workingmen
employed in this Hive Of Industry
came from remote parts of Europe.
Each wore his Head entirely in front
Of his Ears and had taken an Oath to
support the Constitution. 1t was the
duty of the Husky to keep these i'm
ported Rabbits on the Jump and in
crease the Output.
He made himself so strong with
the big Center Poles that they de-
clared him In every time a Melon was
sliced and when it came time to
Scramble the Eggs and pull of the
grand Whack-Up, he was standing at
the head of the Line with a Basket on
his Arm.
So it came about that one who
started In a Thatched Cottage and
grew up on cold Spuds and never saw
a Manicure Set until he was SO years
Of age, went home one day to find
Gold Fish swimming about in every
Room and Servants blocking the Hall
ways.
He had some trouble finding Rings
that would go over his Knuckles and
the Silk Kind felt itchy for quite a
while, but finally he adjusted himself
to his new Prosperity and began to de-
plore the apparent Growth of Social
ism.
This rugged and forceful Character,
to whom the Muck-Rakers referred as
a Baron, had a Daughter who started
out as Katie when she carried the Hot
Coffee over to Dad every Noon.
When she got her first Chip Dia-
mond and Father switched from the
Dudeen to Cigars, she was known in
High School Circles as Katherine.
And when Pop got in on the main
Divvy and began to take al interest
in Paintings. the name went down on
the Register at the Waldorf as Kath-
ryn, in those peaked Sierra Nevada
Letters about four inches high.
Katie used to go to st. Joseph's
Hall once in a while with Martin, the
Lad who helped around the Grocery.
Katherine regarded with much Fa-
o a Pallid Drug Clerk who acted as
a Clearing House for all Local Scan

1t is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs Of an aeroplane of high pow.
er run into about five dollars per hour
of flight. In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to n hun
bred and fifty aeroplanes, and as each
machine is expected to do about two
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. 1t will
be measured by a fuel and oil bill of
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year at retail prices. Those
who read the signs expect the rate OF
increase of aircraft to continue to
one thousand aeroplanes, and many
dozens of airships within the next two
years mean probably a fuel and oil
bill of s1,250,000. It has been further
estimated that on the above supposi.
ton of development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-sixth part Of the fuel consumption
Of all the motor-vehicles in Britain.
OF the total consumption, estimated
by Mr.. Critchley at about one hundred
million gallons a year. 1t seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxicabs of London,
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 10000, 900, so that
on this basis the 100, 900 vehicles in
England take 100000 900 gallons.

Mexico Rich In Natural Wealth.

In natural wealth Mexico is enc of
the most favored of all the lands of

possibilities are tremendous. 1t is

SO great are they. In all the elements
of natural wealth the country leads
