violence Negroes fell heir to magnlh-
cent plantations after the expulsion OF
their French masters. But they show
a poor accounting for their steward
ship. They have squandered their
subsistence in civil war and the lux
ury of sluggish ease. A family here

ing on coffee that grows wild, picking
the fruits on every side, and perhaps
growing a few yams. Should man
aspire to what he could call a farm, he
would have to leave it for military
service, or perhaps see it ruined by

Consequently, the vast natural re
sources of the country are not eX-

the richest of all the West Indies.
Anything that is planted will grow
and yield crop after crop the same

SOME FACTS AS TO C0LORS
Good Reason for the Objection, That
Is So Popular, About Bad Odor
of Yellow.

A certain significance has always
attached to the different colors. We
see the usually accepted meaning of
the various hues of the rainbow beau
tifully exemplified in the paintings
of the Italian masters, who draped
their Madonnas in blue and in red, to
signify purity and love.
Blue-purity without a doubt
derived from the color of the heav-
ems, and red-love-from the color of
the fame. Purple, a mixture of red
and blue, since time immemorial, was
the insignia Of royalty, and green
was and is the color of envy. What
a yellow streak" means needs hardly
be explained. Tt remains to be seen
how yellow came to be in bad odor.
In all nature, particularly in tropi-
cal countries, it is a notorious fact
that the brightly coIored flowers and
insects are poisonous or ill-tasting,
or both. Oftener than not these
brightly hued poison-plants are vel

- - Att and Santo Domingo share
Jointly an island comprising
- roughly about $4,000 square
vi miles. and having a total pop
- - ulation Of nearly 100000.
Haiti has nearly the population of
Santo Domingo, but only little more
than half it's area.
For 100 years Haiti and for half
that period Santo Domingo have been
a cause Of continual anxiety to the
United States. Since gaining their
independence both have been in a
state of constant upheaval and blood
shed as a result of a practically I'M
broken succession of revolutions. In
the last 20 years United States naval
vessels have been in almost constant
attendance about the island, and ma
rines have several times been landed
for the protection of foreign life and
property. 1t is no exaggeratiOn to
say that Haiti and Santo Domingo
have cost the United States more
money in the last 20 years than would
have been spent had this government
assumed responsibility for and control
over the island.
The story Of Haiti is a story of mis-
cry. The characters are childish ne
groes, who play at dignity, spill blood
and do no work In natural advan-
tages, Haiti is a land Of fertile opu-
lence, but what is human there is de.

the old coI0r-vashed houses are built
at the very edge Of the waterways,

There the resemblance naturally
ends, however. for there are no mag

them. Two fine churches there are,
OF which the people may well be
proud, but it is to the irregular old

angular sails and the piles of brown

towns owe their popularity with

What is the cause of gasoline running

Just as soon as the motor stops?
The probable cause Of the gasoline
running out is that the heavy fuel
which is in the manifold condenses aft

run back into the carburetor and drip
out. BY putting a full hot air attach
meat on the motor so that all the air is
heated by passing through a muf sur

dripping will probably be stopped, 1t
is not a serious trouble, however, and
If your motor runs well the change
