What are the advantages and disad-
vantages of an undersung carr
The most important feature of n car
with an undressing frame Is that the
center Of gravity is lowered, which in
crcasos its stability. Turns may be
taken mt greater speed than with cars
whose center Of gravity is higher,
which makes the undressing car Il safe

this construction reduces side sway con
SidCrably and forms IN easier riding

When an undressing frame is used Il
raised auxiliary frame is used for sup
porting the motor, ana in nearly all
cases the construction tends toward Il
straight line drive. Cars with under.
sung frames require large wheels and,
hence, large tires. The makers of over
hung ears have succeeded in lowering
the center Of gravity sufficiently to
make the vehicles MS safe as the under.

of the undressing are now in the over

DEMAND FOR PURE ENGLISH
New York Publication criticizes the
Style in Which STREET Car Mo-
tees Are Worded.

Public notices ought to be exam
pies of the best writing. They should
be written by masters of style. Take,
for example. the notice in the street
cars:
Passengers requiring transfers
must request same from conductors
at the time of depositing fares in
box
OF course that is understandable
1t is about as good English as one
would expect in Judges opinion. But
it is not good enough for a notice that
hundreds of thousands of people are
to read every day. Here is New York
spending forty millions year for lit
erary and other instruction for chill
dren who, when they ride in the street
cars, are exposed to managers Eng
lish and taught, as to transfers to re
quest same from conductors"
Shocking! OF course the notice

FOWL WITH LARGE APPETITE
May Be Picked Out on Roost at Night
by Size Of crop--Judge Capacity
by Shape Of Body.

The hen with a large appetite can
be picked out on the roost at night by
the size of the crop. The capacity of
a bird may be judged by the shape of
the body. The jointed ribs allow the
rear part of the body to expand down
ward, taking on a wedge-shape, as the
digestive system and reproductive or
gans demand more room. This spread
may be judged by the distance be-
tween the rear end of the breast bone
and the pelvic bones. A bird spread
from heavy production should not be
confused with one spread from being
overfat.
The high producer invariably shows
what we might term as quality, that is,
soft, pliable skin over breast bone and
abdominal cavity.
The skin of the nonproducer or the
bird out of condition will have hard
leathery or drawn feeling.
While the shape of the overfat hen
may indicate capacity, the body cavity
is filed with fat rather than organs of
digestion and production, and the skin
is lacking in that quality which ap,

barn door and looked in. All the cats

MANY ERRORS IN SPELLING
photographic Oddities Brought to
Light by Or. Leonard P. Ayres-
Few Excellent Spoilers.

Seven out of every 100 third-grade
public school children in the United
States cannot spell the word has"
according to a report just compiled
by DIR. Leonard P. Ayres of the Rus
sell Sage foundation on the special
problems inherent in the teaching of
spelling. Doctor Ayres' study also
brought out many other photographic
oddities.
Doctor Ayres selected the 1000
words that constitute 80 per cent of
the language ordinarily used. This
selection was made from various Eng
fish authors, from four Sunday news
papers, and from the business and
family correspondence of more than
1000 adults.
Cooperating with the school super
intendents in "a cities of the United
States, Doctor Ayres had the 1000
commonest words tested by an aggre-
gate of 100000 spellings, secured
from 10000 public school children.
Nine words of most frequent use,
viz, "the,7 en-" 80" now" man.
"ten," bed" top" revealed that sec.
ond-grade pupils, on an average
spelled correctly "a per cent of these
words. At the other extreme Of the
scale of words Judgment" "recom'
mend" and "allege" were found to be
spelled correctly by just so per cent OF
eighth-grade pupils.
Doctor Ayres finds: There are
very few exceedingly poor spoilers
many medium ones, and very few ex
cellent ones. Few words do most Of
our work when we write. Fifty words
constitute, with their repetitions, one
half Of the words written. The child
who masters the 1000 words on the
scale given will make no spelling er
