Great Problem Solved.

A street carnival now touring the
South is seemingly the repository OF
most perplexingl military secret. On
recent visit by this particular carni-
val TO a Tennessee city a part of the
attending throng heard n barker extol
the clairyoyant powers of Madam.
This goddess of wisdom, while thor.
oughly bHndfolded, gave instant an.
swers to any questions. The seeker
after truth merely wrote on a slip of
paper the question nearest his heart,
which, being read out by the barker
in the hearing of all the crowd, was
as publicly answered.
Whether Minnie still loved Tom
and where the old hermit buried the
gold were questions legitimate enough,
but that somebody had taken advan-
tage of lady's trustful disposition
her answer revealed when Madam -
was confronted with the query:
where is Villa?"
Her reply was:
Her real name is not Villa. 1t Is
Margaret, and she is now in Atlanta
Ga. Saturday Evening Post.

NOT so BAD OFF, AFTER ALL
Folks Should Be Mighty Thankful
They Are Not Grasshoppers or
Potato Beetles.

In these days when the cost of liv-
ing seems to be attached to the tail of
a rocket going skyward there is still
something, says the Rochester Demo-
crat and Chronicle, for which we may
be thankful. Suppose, for instance,
that instead of the amount that we
now eat, we required from 500 to 1000
pounds of food every 81 hours, as we
would If we had appetites like the po-
tato beetle in his heyday.
Or suppose we required from a half
ton to ton of provisions every
day, as we would if we ate as much
IN proportion to our size as does the
grasshopper. Even If we had light
appetites like the caterpillar. it would
take from 200 to 400 pounds of food
each day to satisfy US. Yet, we can
be thankful that we are not caterpil-
lars, potato bugs or grasshoppers, in
appetite.

MOST POWERFUL
IN GERMAN NAVY
U-53 Surpassed Only by the United
States Submarine MI, Recently
Launched

NEW YORK, Oct. II. = The U-53 is
a sister ship of the famous U-5I,
which made the trip from the Weser
to the Dardanelles early last year.
There are six vessels Of this class
in the German navy, numbered from
80 to 50 inclusive. They are probably
the most powerful vessels of their
TYPE in the world, being surpassed in
certain points only by the United
States submarine MI launched at
Quincy Sept. II. In speed and arna-
ment they are superior even to the
MI.
The U-53 has a surface displace-
ment of 1000 tons, a surface speed of
20 knots, and a cruising radius of
1000 miles. At a speed of 10 knots
she can carry enough heavy oil to
cruise for three months. Her arma-
ment consists of one l5-pound rapid
fire disappearing gun and one three
pound high-angle gun with anti-air-
craft attachment.
She carries four torpedo tubes, two
ahead and two astern.
| In certain respects the exploits of
the U-53 are without a parallel. She
Is war submarine, and as such is
the first to cross the Atlantic with
out convoy and without the aid OF
supply base or mother ship.
In certain respects the submarine
MI, built for the United States gov
eminent and launched at Quincy, Sept
IA, is superior to the first five boats
of the German U-5O class, although
later boats of this class are said t.
surpass all i'll speed and armament
The MI is lS2 feet over all, with :
maximum steaming radius of 500
mics, and an estimated surface spec,
Eof 10 knots. The Nj is to he squippeC
with four torpedo tubes, and Il ligh'

AN ENGLISH TRIBUTE TO POE
De Msupassant and kipIinu Owe Some
thing to American Writer, Says
Eneishman.

The detective story and the murder
mystery are not forms of any great
literary value, but I must confess to
prediction for stories about crime,
and there is some authority for the
view that murder is the most gentle
manly crime that anybody can COM
nit"
Those who share my taste for homi-
eide in fictiOn-and I find it fairly wide
Spread-haye reason to be grateful to
Poe. His LuDin is prince of detec-
tives and the father OF an illustrious
progeny; while such contemners of
the law of the land as Raffles and
Arsene Lupin are Poe's illegitimate
children. Indeed, Poe's influence in
France has been greater than among
the English-speaking people. Every
student Of French literature knows
that but for Poe, Baudelaire, Mallarme
and NillierS de l'Isle-Adam would have
been something very different from
what they We're, and NJ. Remy de
| Gourmont says in one of his penetrat-
/ ing essays that Eugene Sue, Gaboriau
and Dostoevsky, in Crime and Pun
/ ishment,' have all taken lessons from
/ Poe"
1t would be interesting to study the
way in which his technique of the
short story was adopted and modified
by Guy de Maupassant, and how, after
having filtered through Maupassant's
mind, it has returned to English litera
ture through the medium Of Mr.
Kipling-"Penguin," In the London Ma
/ ton.

NEW PROFESSOR AT U. v. M.
SpG-ish to Be Taught at State Uni
versity by DIR. Norman.

Believing that there will be large
opportunities for developing the trade
of the United States with the coun-
tries Of Central and South America
opportunities that will come with the
close Of the great war in Europe and
may never occur again-and believing
that more attention should be given to
the study of the Spanish language so
that the student may speak, read and
write it, the University of Vermont
has engaged DIR. James Henry Worman
as professor of Spanish. Heretofore
the teaching of Spanish has been
grouped with that of other romance
languages, but it is believed that the
time has come when more attention
should be given to this important sub
ject.
DIR. Woman has had distinguished
career and is well equipped for his new
duties. He was born in Berlin, Ger
many, and was educated at the Uni
versity of Berlin and the Sorbonne in
Paris. He has been editor of the

Alcohol is the best thing to use in
cleaning the sewing machine If ap-
piled with absorbent cotton held in a
small pair of forceps the fingers can
be kept clean, and the oil and dust
will be found to disappear very quick
ly. Alcohol does not leave it's traces

a little business enterprise that is the
child's very own.

Canes of Rhinoceros Horn.

Probably some of the most expensive
canes to manufacture are those from
rhinoceros horns. Such a cane, when
made of one piece of horn, often costs
as high as $500. The high price is due
to the expert treatment which the
rhinoceros horn requires Immediately
after the beast has been slain.

Buck Palmer Mar
rowly Escapes Death

Mr.. E. E. (Buck) Palmer, the
well-known and popular cattle
buyer, narrowly escaped death
here on the square Monday after
noon, when he was struck at the
livery barn corner by Geo.
Turner's Ford automobile
Mr.. Palmer started across the
street from the stable toward
Shaw & Rawls' corner; Turner's
car was coming north in front Of
the stable; Palmer heard a car,
turned to see where it was and
whittier going, but the car was
right upon him, he says, and he
did not have time to get out of the
way. but threw up both hands to
motion the driver to stop. This
was too late. The car struck him
amidships, knocked him down
and dragged him some six or
eight feet before the machine
could be brought to a stop. Those
standing about the two corners
were Mortified, expecting to see
Mr.. Palmer picked up crushed to
death. He was bent almost
double underneath the car and
nearly turned over, but the car
was stopped just in the Mich of time
to save his life. Had it gone a
foot further he would have been
crushed to death, so those witness
ing the accident say; but, fortu-
nately, Mr.. Palmer escaped with
only a few bruises.
All automobile drivers, before
turning any and every corner
ought to slow down and sound
their horns. A more careful
observance Of traffic laws ought
to be practiced by all vehicles,
especially automobile drivers, be.
fore some one is killed.
