I" Ford for -Four Dimes"
Story Has H0axed MANY

IS almost impossible TO estimate.
One good story comes from Des
Moines, lowe, where the paying teller
Of one of the largest banks was driven
frantic by two boys who came TO his
window and purchased twenty dimes
for two-dollar bill. About two min
utes later they were back with two
silver dollars, buying more dimes.
Still few minutes later they came
the third time with two one-dollar
bills, asking for more dimes.
The teller became suspicious and
wanted 20 know what the trouble was.
And then the story came out! In fact,
the boys thought the teller was about
the biggest fool they had ever seen.
With all the dimes in his place he
never even knew about the Ford story!
IL developed that the boys had changed
the dimes back again into larger
money, after giving them q careful
"once over" but the elusive + and r
would not turn up.
In New York City n number Of peo-
pie seem TO have gone crazy over the
story. StreetcRr conductors, in the
midst of rush of passengers, will
glance furtively at both sides of each
dime rendered for fare; bartenders
look carefully at each dime taken in
before putting IL into the cash regis
ter and friends will offer TO exchange
an o for an +, having succeeded in
finding two 0's.
And if one would believe the hear
say reports, there, must be at least n
dozen people in New York City who
already "have received the car" or
who have the four dimes, or three
dimes. and who only need lust one
more, etc.
II cannot be too strongly stated that
the whole story is a fake from A to
y. The Ford company made no offer
like that; no dimes exist with an + or
r initial; no one ever received a Ford
car for four dimes, and no one ever
will

LINCOLN HIGHWAY BOOK
"Don'ts" for Motorists Are
Outlined by Goodyear.

In connection with the aid it has
been giving the Lincoln Highway, from
coast to coast, the Goodyear company
has Just published a booklet that can
not fail 20 be of interest and help to
coast-to-coast automobile tourists.
Most of the manuscript was prepared
by F. II. Trego, chief engineer of the
Lincoln Highway Association, an auto
mobile engineer, road expert and a
man who has made the coast-to-coast
journey many times by motor car The
booklet contains a map of the route and
discusses routes, costs, tine, equip
ment, advice for q variety Of emergen-
cies, provisions, etc.
Here are few "don'ts" that are put
down, which are likely to be as valua-
bile as the positive advice:
Don't wait till the gasOlene is nearly
gone before filling up. There might De
a delay.
Don't allow the water can to be
other than full of fresh water, and fill
it every chance. You might spring a
radiator leak or burst water hose.
Don't buy oil in bulk. Buy one-gal-
Ion original cartons.
Don't fail TO have warm clothing
High attitudes are cold, and dry AR is
penetrating.
Don't carry loaded firearms in the
car. except possibly small pistol
Don't fail to put cut your campfire
when leaving
Don't forget the yellow goggles.
"Dont ford water without first
wading through it.
Don't build big fire for cooking
The smaller the better.
Don't drive over twenty-five miles
an hour. Unexpected, small, dry wash
outs in the West will break springs.
Don't carry good clothes-ship them.
Don't wear leather puttees. Canvas
is better.
Don't drink alkali water.
Don't wear new shoes"

For the Smoker -Motorist.

Among the new ideas for the COM
fort of motorists, especially those
whose cars are not regularly equipped
with all the little features that go
with the high priced types, is an auto
matte cord winder, cigar lighter and
inspection lamp. These are among
the conveniences that Automobiles de-
sire, and in the new form are extreme
" compact and handy, occupying hard
~ any space and requiring very little
current. They are handled by Asch &
Co. in the ThorOfare Building.

Athens, Greece.-In a visit to

excursions to Corinth. Nauplia, Del
phi and hundred other points of alb
sorbing interest start from the an
Client city, now SO new. In 1897 when
Queen Victoria came to the throne
Athens was but squalid villege. To-

is anticipated that in ten years from
now the population of Athens, which
is 100000 will be at least half mil
lion. No vandalism, we are assured,
will be involved in this scheme. The
various temples of ancient Greece
which make Athens so attractive to
the visitor will be more easily access
sible.
Very delightful are these temples
and very inspiring. First in order is
the Theseion, the best-preserved edi
flee of the whole of the ancient Greece
world. The temple has been assigned
to Theseus, to Hercules, and to other
gods 1t was probably completed by
421 B. G.. In the middle ages 1t was
converted into church and dedi.
Gated to st. George. In the theater
OF Dionysos, a wonderfully preserved
theater, the center of the dramatic art
Of Greece in it's golden period, one is
struck by the frieze round the stage
reliefs of the time Of Nero.
We are struck also by the wonder
full seats that have been preserved,
particularly one here illustrated des-
tined for the priest of Dionysos,
the Olyrrpieum, or .Olympieion. It's
Is huge Corinthian columns of pentelic
marble stand out gloriously in the
sunlight. They date from the reign
of Hadrian, and they once contained
a statue of that monarch. In 1850
Turkish viceroy took one of the col
umns for a mosque he was building.
The Diplyon formed the principal en-
trance of classic Athens, and one,
drives past 1t on the way to Eleusis.
Here we see the ruins of the ancient
wall, and close by is the burial ground,
the principal cemetery of ancient Ath-
ems, 1t being the custom to bury the
dead Immediately outside the town
gates. On one of the tombstones we
see bull, and there are many quaint
fragments of ancient tombs. Some
chambers cut in the rock are de-
scribed by medieval tradition as
the prison Of Socrates. The Stadion
has been entirely restored. 1t was
originally erected $50 B. c. It Is in
teresting but had much better have
been left in ruins and a new Stadion
erected elsewhere. We note also the
ruins of Eleusis. They are merely a
drive from Athens and form one of
the best excursions in it's immediate
neighborhood. To write adequately
OF these wonderful ruins, the home of
the "Eleusinian Mysteries" would
take many columns.
