 Well, that pushmobie is passc. It's out Of date the primitive high bicycle with the big wheel front and the little behind Even the fancy push mobiles manufactured and sold in numbers in q Q last three years destined oblivion, at least to The pushmobe de luxe has arrived. It has been the streets of of cities.
 It's the original device glorfed. Instead Of the sbae wheels there larger wheels with pneumatic tir- Instead the slender horizontal pine board there low-slung platform with plenty of for boy a man. or two men-to stand with both feet The r1- right post topped with bicycle handle bars And wonderful of all attached the wheel is tiny gasoline motor controlled from the handles which pull the thing along the unmaginable speed of ten 1T twenty miles hour
 It's safe say that several million boys will wanting one of them And it's also safe to say th thousands impecunious and ingenious youngsters will no sooner glimpse this highly desirable conrapton than they'll proceed make themselves, just tho made it's crude prototype.

METERS AND KILOMETRES.

Among other things, the war is educating Amerc. IFS in the metric system. It is impossible for the t uncbserving unrefecting citizen read the Cs patches day after day, with their continual melton of campaign gains and losses in terms of meters end o- without getting pretty definite notion wat those terms
 Newspapers and agencies in general still public ignorance this matter and adhere to their tabshed practice of turning the metric measurements yards and miles But it doubtful whether this is any longer necessary Nearly every intelligent reader regaress his education realize by this time tat a meter is trfe than yard. that a klometer thousand meterss about twothirds of mile, and tl"t a square kiometer is about fourninths of a square mile.
 The metric system is used by all scientists the we'd for the of nes surfaces volumes and weights It is used in the business and daily life of nearly all the civilized peoples in the world except he Americans the British It is the sensible and convenient system of measurement invented. l. is bound to become universal day The present gain in familiarity with what formerly to most of as, merely puzzng school book exercise without practical application, may hasten the day of its adoption in Ee United States.
