enemy. AS for neutrality, 1t depends on
the ability OF a nation to defend itself. A

At the squaq House.

Simeon Ford, hotel man and hu-
morist, said in New York the other
day:
New York's hotels are the best
in the world. They put ven the ho-
tells of London, Paris and Riviera to
blush.
I'm fact, after a New York hotel,
other hotels seem like the Squag
house, where a guest rang in the mid
die of the night and said:
"Landlord, the roofs leaking. I'm
dr%enched.'
Very good, sir
THE landlord retired, and in a mo-

CAR GOES 28.7 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, in a dis
lance test on the ~boulevards, a 1915
big six went 2S.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 c%arburetor was discon-
nected, and in order that the test be
a 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 IL As seconds.
The fleXibility test saw the car run
ut 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.

Tho eertimon System.

Writing in the New York Evening
Post, a correspondent, well acquainted
with the late Alphonse Bertillon, draws
attention to the fact that the finger
print Identification scheme was not
the invention of NJ. Bertillon, but, as
far as it's employment in police work
is concerned, was first used by the
London police, who in turn adopted it
from a similar system long employed
in India. The first success of the Ber-
tillon system, known as 'Bertillonage,'
attracted h attention Of Scotland
Yard. but after a trial it was discarded
as being impracticable. and the Lon
don police developed the finger print
system SO carefully thai NJ. Bertillon
recognized it's value and later embodied
1T in his system. making u acknowl-
edgement OF his deb to his English
contemporaries. To Bertillon's years
of research. and patient investigation.

the enlightment which has proved of
such great value to the new science

Beginning on the theory that no two
persons are identical in every respect.
he set about the ask of reducing the
dimensions II peculiarities which va
ried with the greatest consistency to
the least possible number. Situated as
he was in Paris. with every facility
at his command, he realized that If
the system We're to be made generally
useful it would have to be reduced
to such simplicity that police heads
in the most remote villages could un-
derstand and apply it. The photograph
played an important part in his search
for simplicity, and though he realized
that it involved complications which

to Its present state Of perfection.
The measurements which he finally
adopted as essential were seven: The

How Dads Money Spoiled His Bow
BY C. f. Morris

Another gilded youth who deserted his
"l1e and baby to run away with a silly
young woman has recently come To .riaf
at the hands of the law.

III this mans father had made him get
out and go to work and earn his living.
hustle his clothes and get something 10
take up his time, he wouldn't be in the
fix he's in.
Here and there you ".n across a young
ster who is Inherently strong to stand u,,
under the handicap of too much money.
They are very much like hens teeth. And
Psychologists say they have none.
To my mind unequal distribution of
wealth curses society at both extremes.
1t is quite as much the duty of our age
to prevent the ignorant rich from spelling
their offspring by a surfeit OF riches as to
lift from the very poor the burdens which
withhold SO many of their children from a
hopeful start In life. Money is a good
thing to have and 1t buys a great many
comforts which we all need but to hand il
out in wads to the average young man to
make MIN idle, foolish and no good is very
wrong. l once talked with John ID. Rookie
Teller, .lr., and he told me so many OF his
schoolmates had gone wrong and wasted
their lives because their fathers were
rich and gave them too much money.
Don't be foolish but be wise as we need
all the good men we can get and be sure
and spread out your cash in a careful
way.
Experience is an asset that no man can
hequeath to his son. BE careful. with the
boys.

MOTION PICTURES SHOW
REPTILES IN COMBAT

New YorN.-Merr2 comedy and aero
battles of small animals, large and small
insects n reptiles form a remarkable
feature of motion pictures prepared by
Mr.. Raymond l.. Ditmars. OF III New
York Z~nological park. and shown bv
him at a special view in the Mecca
building. The pictures will be shown
first publicly at the Brooklyn Academy
OF Music.
Some of the strange actors in this
"Theater OF Nature" as the picturcs
are called--including vaudeville and q
regular circus-play somewhat tragic
but usual roles. They are eaten by
others. Some of the things pictured
are:
A fly seated in a chair on a crawling
turtles back, the fly balancing a COM
p~aratively huge dumb bell: a family
OF toads jumping up on toadstools ia
watch the circus. treetoads performs
ing on the horizontal bar n a king
snake killing a moccasin
inch by inch. DIR. Ditmars explained
that the king snake is by nature a sort
OF policeman among reptiles. The bite
OF a poisonous snake does not bother 1t.
NO motion pictures OF such snake incl
gents nave ever been successfully taken
before. and Mr.. Ditmars tried 1t for
two years before Il snake would Tie stil]
and eat in the light.
The circus was broken up by the ar
rival of the we'll known p~olecat. from
which every insect and animal fled i'm
terror.
A film contributed by Peter Grnbe
of Rochester. known as sRattlesnake
Pete was shown. 1t depicted Incl
dents of a rattlesnake hunt conducted
py Pete. who makes a business of
catching these reptiles.
