Secret of LAUGHTER.

THE secret of laughter is in the re.

the fact that our present mental equip

acquired and certain strain in main

This tension is relieved by nonsense
and by the portrayal in humorous
anecdotes and on the stage of eva

To Make Brakes Hold.

When a car has been in use a con-
siderable time the foot brake becomes
less efficient, owing to the surface OF
the brake drum becoming highly pol

the drum by means of three-cornered
file. These marks, which should be
about one-siXteenth of an inch deep,
will not injure the brake lining.

MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR

Be Given Consideration.

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues. The first and most important
is a good burn-that is, the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold its fire.
the ash shoyld be coherent and not
faky, and there must be no charring
in advance Of the burn.
The second point relates to the
flavor This is important to the smok-
er-the cigar must tickle his palate
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma, which is the pleasure.
giving quality of the smoke, not only
to the smoker, but to the bystander
Even though a cigar has rich,
smooth, mellow flavor, it should be
classed as a poor one if it gives of
bouquet which is offensive to all
within range of its fumes.
Finally, a cigar should lave a COED
annoyance. Really, it Is SURPRISING
how important this is. No matter how
Hne the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma, a cigar must look the
part in order to be good. Given two
cigars OF equal quality the ore which
