National Geographic Society
Describes Devastated Sec
ton of Italy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 30
The National Geographic Society
has prepared the following descrip-
ton OF the region OF Italy Just de-
vastated by the great earthquake.
In the Abruzzi district Of east
central Italy, where the recent earth.
Quake shocks have worked in sec
onds destruction equal to weeks OF
war, there are no great cities and
few monuments of the country's bril-
liant history or its more famous
work Of art. Abruzzi is a grazing,
lvine-growing, farming district. II
/, is a mountainous and hiIly land,
comprising the widest and most
rugged portion of the Apennines.
Some OF Italy's most picturesque
scenery is to be enjoyed here, all
though travellers from America sell
dom seek 1t, as the railway connec-
tons are bad and the inn accom1ho-
dations, for the most part, sadly
primitive and severe.
Two Million Population.
The district contains some g.
$50 square miles, or is about equal
in size to the states Of Rhode Island
and Connecticut. 1t supports some
two million people, most Of whom
make their nvlngs in farming. orch
ard and vine culture, and in cattle,
sheep and swine raising. There is
considerable unimportant manufac-
turing whiting the district but little
or no industry. Rarely beautiful
tapestries and handmade laces are
worked in the billy villages as home
work. Many Of the Abruzzi peasant
Try, untaught In the methods of de-
tsign and unaided by any but the
simplest mechanical contriyances,
display the highest order Of artistic
appreciation in their 1land-lace pro-
auctions.
Vast forests Of oak, beech and
pine cover the Jagged mountain
groups, and their area serves as q
feeding ground for large herds Of
swine. The raising of swine and
the preparation of their meat is one
of the important endeavors of this
country, and among the masterworks
of Italy, the vivacious, seductive,
thrilling Abruzzi sausage deserves
honorable mention. These sausages
were formerly that is, before the
wareven imported occasionally
Into Germany, where to be a foreign
sausage and to compete successfully,
means to be sausage OF distinctly
superior sort.
There is little fiat land within
Abruzzi, beyond a narrow strip
along 100 miles Of coast. The up
lands and the hills are used for pas
ture lands, the valleys are very fruit
full, and are farmed for olives, rice,
almonds, grains and wine. Nature
has contributed most to the back
ward state Of the Abruzzi regions IN
dustries; for its hills and valleys lie
within the trough Of eyer-recurring
earthquakes, while the small rivers
and creeks which irrigste its valleys
do regular damage by their sud
den floods. The rivers are mostly
very short, with a considerable fall
to the sea. Many OF them have been

is evident, however, that she taught
for a period of some length, as among
our contemporaries" were some
whose mothers had been her pupils. OF
these, two are still living in Newberry,
Mrs. Ewart (who was Miss Laura
Graham) the widow of Dr.. David Ew-

Mrs. C. A. Bowman. She is still act

close about US.
There is a very distinct recollection
of some soldiers camping in the woods
near the old "Bandusian spring" and
of our frequent walks down there in
the late afternoon to hear the bugles
play and the drums beat. 1t was quite
popular diversion and crowds OF
ladies and children would go. And
how we would stand at the gate as the
soldiers marched by, coming home
from the war

In writing these ''recollections" no
attempt is made to enter deeply into
historical facts. Memory chiefly is
called into play.
AS we ascend higher up the hill OF
life, and look down over the lower
plains over which We have passed, how
the mind travels! And out Of the dim
and shadowy memories We date our
first recollection to a certain period,
because of some event or circumstance
in connection.
Among those vivid memories is
starting to school," on a bright morn
ing towards, the close OF the war.
Finding ourselves in ga country at
war" and being so young, and far
away from the scenes of action, we did
not realize, of course, what it meant
1t was only as we listened to the
stories of the suffering and ,privation
of the soldiers, that our childish pity
was aroused; more especially during
the cold winter, when gathered around
the cheerful hearthstone, we would be
reminded of "the poor soldiers out in
the cold"

TELLS OF ACTION OF DRIVER
Designed to Illuminate Number Plate and at the Same Time Indicate to Car Behind the Way the
 Machine 10 to
 Proceed.

A rear light for automobiles that will illuminate the number plate and al the same time indicate whether the car is about to turn to right or left or to stop is the ingenious invention of Joseph c. Roeber. a vaudeville actor of New York.
 The device is illustrated in the ac- companying pictures. It consists of lantern attached to the rear of the car immediately over the number plate. In the lantern is an electric lamp, which remains stationary which ever way the lantern be turned. Four sides of the lantern are fitted with col ored lenses and it is movable through half circle from right to left and through a quarter circle up and down.
 When going straight ahead the Ian tern shows as plain red light. When about to turn to the right the lantern revolyes till it shows square green

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER IN USE
Satisfactory Substitute Employed in Upholstery Of Over 75o,o0o Cars in
 Last Two Years.

For many years leather has been recognized as ideal car upholstery. in point of durability and rich appear ance. The strides made by the auto mobile industry have brought about a shortage of high-grade leather and consequent increased prices, so that there has been a general demand for an upholstery material. particularly for motor cars, which shall initiate the genuine article. Science has pro- duced such a material. which has the added advantage of its sanitary and economic value.
 An idea of the way in which motor Car manufacturers are coming to rec ognize the merits of this scientific pro- duction can be had from the fact that over 750,000 cars were trimmed with artificial leather in the past two years. comprising 72 different makes, one concern alone having used this mate rial for two years past for its entire output, amounting to nearly 500.000 cars.

Tubular Bulb For Car Lamps.

A distinct improvement in the shape of bulbs for electric headlights has just been brought out by Connecti- cut firm. The new bulbs are tubular in form, instead of being round. with the result that a much more effective light is produced. When a round bulb is inserted in the base of the head light, rays from the filament have to pass through two and three thick nesses of the glass. on their way to and from the reflector. The tubular bulb. being but of slightly larger diam eter than it's base sends the reflected rays straight ahead without any fur ther interference by the bulging bulb in the center. The tubular bulb has another advantage. which may on occasion prove highly important. It can be withdrawn through the rear of the reflector. making it possible to use front lenses which are screwed on tight, instead of being hinged to the lamp.-Scientifc American.

Sand Bad. for curina Tread Cuts.


 Sand bags may be used instead of air bags in curing tread cuts. Internal pressure only is needed against the tread in such repairs. For each sec tional mold size one sand bag and one steel bar will be needed The bag should be of heavy canvas, shaped like a common salt bag and filled loosely (not packed) with fine sand The steel bar should be of one-inch section. about a foot long, and curved so it will fit within the mold
 The sand bag is placed within the casing, the casing dropped within the sectional mold. and the steel bar laid along the sand bag, concave side up. Screw down the clamp screw on the mold against the center of the bar. This spreads out the sand bag and supplies the necessary pressure against the tread. It is a good plan to drill a hole or slot in the bar, so that the clamp screw can get a grip.

der bushels for many years. Take the public health service for instance. The work that the physicians of this service do for the people of the United States is conscientious, energetic. and widespread in its influence for good. Physicians. like many other profes- sional men, are not given to talking about their deeds. The public health service lies within the control of the treasury department and it is one of the works over which in an official way Mr. Newton must exercise super vision. He knew that the country ought to know something of the work Of the governments physicians in or der that the people might profit the more directly therefrom.
 It vas this assistant secretary of the treasury who suggested a course of proper publicity for the work that was being done by Uncle Sam's de- voted doctors. Largely through his ef- forts the people today not only know of the means that are taken to safe guard their health but they know how, when and where to get the additional information which they need to help them safeguard themselves. More than this the interested people have found that they can be of assistance to the public health service by giving information concerning the necessi- ties there.
 The government officials do not like the use of the word publicity. "Infor- nation" is the word which in their eyes is proper and 1t is information which the people have been getting about several government activities through the newspaper sense of an as- sistant secretary of the treasury who for years was a newspaper man.

Now. plowboys, through all the centuries have been poets at heart. They have not always known their own gifts. but the instinct of poetry always has been in them.

MAKING A PROFIT IN CREAM
Many pairymen Are at Loss to Know Which 10 Most Profitable Way
 to Dispose of Product.

By c. L. MARTIN. Montana Experiment
 Station)
 The rapid development of the ice cream business within the past few rears and the increased call from city :rade, hotels and restaurants has ere tted large demand for sweet cream.
 For these trades it is desirable that he cream should test about 20 per .ent but often the test may vary up Q 40 per cent, depending greatly ipon the method of operating the iand separator. When selling cream Q creameries, the price is quoted per ,ound of butterfat. but for ice cream and hotel purposes it is customary to gay by the gallon. As a consequence many dairymen are at a loss to know which is the most profitable way to dispose of their cream. The follow ing general rules may serve to de- :ermine the relative market price per pounds Of butterfat or gallon of cream:
 To find the value Of a gallon of .ream when butterfat is a certain price per pound, multiply the percent age of fat by tthe number of pounds n gallon) and the product by the price per pound. At 30 cents per pound For fat, 20 per cent cream would be worth AS cents per gallon; 9 per cent cream. 50 cents per gallon; 90 per cent cream, 72 cents per gallon: 40 per cent cream. s6 cents per gallon. At 35 cents per pound for fat, 20 per cent cream would be worth 53 cents per gallon, and so on.
 To find the price per pound for but .erfat when the price per gallon of cream is known. divide the price per gallon by eight times the per cent of fat At 70 cents per gallon, 20 per sent cream would be worth p cents per pound of fat. At $1 per gallon, 40 per cent cream would be worth SIX ,ents per pound of fat

On each lens is white letter of sufficient size to make it plainly visible in the day time-R for right" l. left" s for ''stop"-and the right and left posi- tions are accentuated by pointer.
 The lantern is moved by the chauf- feur. On the side of the car is an elbow rest ending in handle. From this handle piano wires run through a tube to the lantern, and moving the handle to right or left sets the lan- tern accordingly. The back Of the elbow rest is pivoted so that by draw ing back his elbow the chauffeur moves it and it's motion pulls another piano wire, also running through a tube. which turns the lantern to the stop" position
 The mechanism is of the simplest, and as the tubes in which the wires are incased are only minute fraction of an inch larger in interior diameter than the wires within them. and are filled with lrbricating oil. the wires cannot buckle. although they make several turns between the chauffeur and the lantern.
 And no matter what position the lantern be in it always throws a red light upon the number plate.
 The control can also be installed upon the steering whel or dashboard.
