PORTABLE LAMP FOR CAMPER
Convenient Form Of Light Consists OF
Acetylene Gas Generator and
Reflector

very convenient form of lamp
has recently been devised for the use
OF campers, hunters, etc. 1t consists
of a portable acetylene gas generator,
and a burner arranged with a reflect
or which is open at the frount for the
escape of heat. The walls of the re-
Hector are imperforate, to prevent the
passage of air through the reflector
when the lamp is being moved about
or Is exposed to the wind. In this way
the danger of extinguishing the light
Is avoided. The accompanying illus
tration shows in Fig. how the lamp
may be attached to the head of a
man. while the gas generator is se-
cured to his belt. The details of the
head attachment are shown In the
sectional view, Fig. 2. The burner,
A, is attached to the flexible tube. B,
which runs the generator. The re-
Hector, G. in which the burner is tit
ted, is provided with a flange along
It's outer edge, to which the arms, d,
are secured. These arms are fastened
to a cage. q. provided with a strap,
b. which Is strapped about the head
OF the wearer AS an additional sup
port to the lamp, small bracket. G.
connects the bottom of the reflector
directly to the head. When 1t is de-
sired to use this device ON boat vr
In camp, 1t is mounted on stand, H,
as indicated at Fig. 3. This stand is
formed of two sections, one of which
is hinged upon the other, so that the
lamp may be moved laterally. BY
means OF thumb screw, l, the two
sections may be clamped at any de-
sired position. The lamp is taken
out Of the head gear by unscrewing
the bolts. ], and 1t may be then fas-
tened in a bracket. X. which is swiv-

that lava, properly pulverized,
aged and irrigated, makes a soil
as rich as any. In fact, the
plain back of Naples, to the
north of VesuVius, Is noted as being
one of the most productive tracts in
Europe. For some distance up the
foot of the mountain itself there are
fiourishing vines and clumps of small
trees. But at the point which we had
now reached in our climb up the south
side of Vesuvius all vegetation, save
for few coarse grasses, ceased. The
great bulk of the mountain rose be-
fore US as black and hard and bare
as a pile of Stag. The sweet-scented
yellow flowers springing here and
there from crevices seemed by con-
trast only to heighten the desolation,
writes Paul Scott Mowrer in Chicago
Daily News.
There are not even mountain
streams on Vesuvius. The water of
the rains sluices off Immediately
through the jagged gullfes of those
scorched sides as from roof. We
passed a plateau where the Italian
government had recently planted vines
and hardy saplings In an effort to hold
back a part of the rainfall. Not one
twig or tendril but was withered and
lifeless.

ascending loops, was built like cause

WAR SPIRIT IN THE NURSERY
Houses Take the Infection
From Their Elders.

Even In the midst of war the human
element remains. This little story
came from Berlin the day before war
had been declared on France:
Two little grandsonB of Kaiser Will
helm, children OF the crown prince,
appear to have inherited the martial
temperatment of their ancestors. The
eldest. Prince Wilhelm, somehow got
hold of the fact that the prince i'm
perial Of 1870 went to the front in the
Franco-Prussian war and asked his
mother, Shall go?" YES" said the
crown princess, but grandpapa will
put off the war for Is years, when you
win be grown up"
The young princes play all day at
"Austrians and Russians" newly in
vented military game, which consists
In knocking over rows of sand piles
and the Russians are always ignomin
iously defeated.
Little County Zchichy, six-year-old
relative of Austria's ambassador at
Berlin, who has been staying at the
seaside near the family of the Prussian
crown prince. is the local hero. He
stole away and, armed with tin sword
and a genuinte pistol without ammuni
ton, proposed to 90 to the front, but
was ingloriously captured by the en-
emy--a fat Pomeranian nurse.

GOODYEAR TIRES At
ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
Of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices. as
others did theirs. when the rubber
panic came. Almost In day crude
rubber rose in New York from 50 cents
per pound to much over dollar.
1.-THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1.500,-
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply Of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory In Akron. It constitutes the
best Of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade of
rubber and the same amount of it as
We always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber. we shall
supply the users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

When no dad needs TO walk the floor
To keep his teething offspring STILL
When men who toll are glad to know
That they earn more than they receive.
When gossips, fitting to and fro.
Say nothing we may not believe,
When no man shall attempt to take
Advantage OF his fellow man,
When meat trusts shall for mercy's sake.
Sell meat as cheaply as they can;
When publishers shall eagerly
Bid for the poets latest songs.
When rulers everywhere shall be
Held blameless for their peoples
wrongs;
When these things all shall come to pass,
When men have learned to safely fly,
When no class hates another class,
And II is ne'er too wet or dry
Then grouchy men and wives who scold
May learn that nagging day by day
Helps little when one longs to hold
The love that frets to get away.
