they were discussing the English poet,
Alfred Noyes.
"Poor Noyesy!" said an editor. "sHe
used to make poetry Fay, but the war
has created a slump in the poetry mar
ket, and to get along today Noyes is
writing advertising jingles. What a

LOOK OVER CARS CAREFULLY
David Harum Had Nothing on the Men
Who Make Practice of Selling
Second Hand Autos.


Many dozens of places are now oper-
ating secondhand motor car busi-
nesses, and while some of them are
quite reliable, it is still a sad fact that
taking cars is common occurrence,
observes the Scientific American.
One purchaser of a so-called rebuilt
car in New York paid $500 for ma
chine which is no longer built. It was
guaranteed to be in running order, and
worked fairly well on the way home,
a distance of ten miles. The follow
ing morning he was unable to crank
the car, and upon removing the cylin-
ders he discovered very unique hard
wood piston in the front cylinder. The
car being out of date, the dealer had
been unable to obtain a piston for it,
and had improvised one. The oil and
heat of the cylinder combined to warp
the wood and make the motor stick.
The wood had evidently been treated
with some heat-resisting compound, as
the charring on the surface which had
been exposed to the heat of combus-
ton was not severe.
In another case, purchaser of
secondhand runabout detected a most
peculiar noise in his timing gears,
which in that model were mounted on
the front of the engine. Removal of
the gear case revealed the fact that
the gears had been packed in heavy
grease in which was mixed chopped
cork and sawdust The bearings of
the gears were badly worn and the inn
perfect meshing which resulted made
them very noisy. The cork and saw
| dust effected temporary remedy.
A third purchaser of the running
order gamble found that after he had
driven his car dozen miles, three
leaks developed in the cylinder cast
ing. In the pan he found three pieces
of dried chewing gum that exactly fit
ted the holes.
| Among some of the other features
of such bargains" are cast iron ball
bearings, papier-mache radiator. hose
covered with aluminium paint, steel
breaker points in magnetic instead of
| platinum, window glass in wind
shield, and cracks in crank case filed
with putty painted over. In view of
all this, who can wonder what has be-
come of the good old-fashioned horse
| trader?

Custom Had Origin in Plague.

For many centuries plague was a
menace to all Europe. At intervals
it would spread like wildfire, wiping
out whole populations. In its ordi-
nary, or "bubonic." manifestation. it
depended for its distribution upon
rats. But after a while it was liable
to assume the pneumonia" form. at
tacking the lungs.
In this form the malady spreads
with frightful rapidity. The plague
germs are in the air. People acquire
the infection by breathing. The af-
flicted scatter the germs by coughing
and sneezing.
1t will be understood, then. how
it came about that people, centuries
ago, adopted the precaution of shield
ing the mouth by turning away the
head when coughing, sneezing, or
yawning. Today we continue to do
the same thing, for the sake of polite
ness; but in reality the custom is q
survival of the days when the common
prevalence of plague made it neees-
Sity.

PLUG CHEWING

Many prominent physicians declare
chewing to be the most wholesome way
of enjoying tobacco.

said one, "and | soon found that it is
the only way to get the benefit OF ali
the rich juices stored up by nature in
the tobacco leaf. refer, of course, to
the plug form of tobacco, which is the
lmost natural and the cleanest form.
Chewing good tobacco like Spear
Head makes the salivary glands more
active, which in turn has beneficial
effect on the whole system. Add to this
the sweet, mellow, delicious favor of a
chew of Spear Head, and you have
the highest possible degree of tobacco
satisfaction.
Il mention Spear Head because l

tionally pure, being made in a fac
tory that's run strictly according to

Spear Head is made Of sun-ripened
Burley, which is acknowledged to be
the richest mildest, finest favored to-
bacco leaf in the world. And il is,
produced by the latest processes, which
develop the quality and luscious flavor
of the choice Burley to the supreme de-

character are above reproach.
His one and only sin has been
that he has not served the
trusts and those who have been
intent upon further corraling
the great resources of the coun-
try.
In the famous Ballinger-
.Pinchot controversy Brandeis
was the attorney for the Pin
chOt side before the congress
sional committee and it was
largely through his able con-
duct of the case that Ballinger
and BallingeriSm went down
and out. Through that case
the department of the interior
was taken from the hands of
the power grabbers, coal grab
bers and Others desiring to
take for their particular per-
sonal benefit riches that justly
belong to the people.
Brandeis' part in the Pinchot
case and his clear cut exposure
of some features of the trust
question won him the undying
opposition of special privilege
represented by Wall street,
Those interests want lawyers
and judges who will serve them
and defend them, whether they
be right or wrong. Brandeis is
not that type of lawyer. His
views are governed by his con-
ception of law and principle
and he has had the nerve to
champion the side of justice,
come what may.
The opposition to Brandeis
has in reality been a great trib-
ute to the man and to the
presidents judgment in select
ing him for the supreme
bench.
The confirmation of Bran
deis will be a victory for the
people of the United States.

VALUE OF THE BATTLE
CRUISER

@LTHOUGH the action OF
~ the house committee has
been disappointing in a
measure to big navy men there
is real rejoicing over the ac-
ton of the committee in voting
for five great battle cruisers to
be built during the coming
year at a price of S20,000,000
each.
The value of the battle
cruiser has been pretty thor
ioughly demonstrated by the
present war. Great speed
combined with big guns con-
|stitute the chief features of
this type of warship. Speed is
of value in overtaking an enc
my or in escaping a more
powerful foe. The big guns
with the long range make a
less fortunate opponent help
less under attack.
The battle cruisers proposed
by the house committee will
be the greatest ships of the
class afloat. They will have a
speed of six knots faster than
any German battle cruiser and
seven knots faster than any
British ships of the class. Their
guns will also be heavier.
The naval board while ap-
preciating the value of battle
cruisers also recommends that
more dreadnaughts be built.
1t is the supposition the senate
may insist upon two dread
in addition to the ships
favored by the house commit
tee. If this is done the coming

A VICTORY FOR THE
PEOPLE

~ RES SIVE minded
- men of all political faiths
have reason for rejoic-
ing in the action of the senate
committee in reporting favor
ably upon the appointment of
Louis D. Brandeis to the su-
preme court. 1t means the con-
firmation of Brandeis.
More than that a Brandeis
victory will mean that it is not
fatal to a lawyers chance of
reaching the supreme court for
him to devote his talents to es-
pousing the side of the public
welfare in cases where such
interests are opposed by the
forces of privilege.
