He Is always predicting the near ap-

The David Harum of the "Auto."


Scientific American: Many dozens
hand motor car businesses, and while
some Of them are quite reliable. it is
still a sad fact that taking cars is a
common occurrence.
One purchaser Of a o-called rebuilt
car in New York paid 5000 for a ma
chine which Is no longer built. It
was guaranteed to be in running order,
and worked fairly we'll on the way
home, a distance Of ten miles. The
following morning he was unable to
crank the car, and upon removing the
cylinders he discovered a very unique
hardwood piston in the front cylinder.
The car being out of date, the dealer
had been unable to obtain piston for
it, and had improvised one. Tho 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 sur
face which had been exposed to the
heat Of combustion was not severe.
In another case, q purchaser of a
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
thS ScdES u1u De6H packed III n6aVy
grease in which was mixed chopped
cork and sawdust. The bearings of
the gears were badly worn and the i'm
perfected meshing which resulted
made them very noisy. The cork and
sawdust effected a temporary remedy.
A third purchaser of the running
order" gamble found that after he had
driven his car a dozen miles, three
leaks developed in the cylinder casing.
In the pan he found three pieces Of
dried chewing gum that exactly fitted
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 windshield,
and cracks in crank case filled with
putty painted over. In view Of all
this, who can wonder what has become
of the good old fashioned horse
trader?

Our Greatest Naval Victory.

San Francisco Chronicle: The
proudest achievement to which the
American points, when the glory Of
the sea is being discussed, is to the
naval victory gained by the infant
American navy over the seasoned
masters Of the seattle fight between
the Constitution and the Guerriere in
the war of 1912. In commenting on the
result, The London Times said:
Never before in the history of the
world did an English frigate strike to
an American under equal circumstan-
ces."
Proudest among the triumphs Of
the American flag will forever be as
'sociated the career Of that noble old
frigate, the Constitution, which was
rechristened by popular acclaim. Old
Ironsides. This great triumph came at
a time when the whole nation was
deeply wounded by the illsuccess of
denly thrilled the people by an action
brilliant beyond all precedent in it's
results in the annals OF naval warfare
on August 10, 1912. Captain Hull, on
board the Constitution. was cruising
off the coast Of Massachusetts, when
a sail was discovered from his mast
head He Immediately gave chase. It
was plainly perceived that she was
man -of-war. and 1t was soon learned
that the vessel was the Guerriere
commanded by Captain James A.
Dacres.
Eager for battle and hopeful for
victory, Hull cleared his ship for ac-
ton. He started for the enemy, and,
on the Constitution coming within
gunshot, the Guerriere fired broad
side, but the shot fell far short. Hull
waited patiently and maneuvered his
ship until he got it within the right
position. when at five minutes before
6 o'clock in the afternoon, he ordered
a brisk firing to be commenced from
all the Constitution guns. So admir-
ably directed and SO inceBsantly was
this fire kept up that In 15 minutes
the mizzenmast Of the Guerriere went
by the board and her main yard in

.FULTZ'S REQUEST IS
WHOLLY UNWARRANTED
August Hermann Says Charge That
Injured Baseball Players Are
Not Paid s Without Fact.

Cincinnati, Nov. 1o.-August Herr
mann. chairman Of the national base
ball commission yesterday issued a
statement replying to a request by
David Fultz. president of the Base
ball Players fraternity that some
players can't be changed to prevent
players injured in the services of a
club from being suspended, without
compensation during their illness. Mr..
Herrmann's statement says in part:
This request on the part of Mr..
Fultz, in my judgment. is wholly un-
warranted and creates a false i'm
preston in the minds of the baseball
public. to wit that the practice now is
that players injured in the service Of
a club after a certain period, may be
suspended without compensation. This
is not a fact. The commission has at
all times ruled that a player must be
compensated when injured in the SER
vice of a club, regardless of the length
of the period of his injury, or else be
given his release after a certain
period"

Income So a Month.

San Francisco Bulletin: A recent
writer puts the average income Of 80
per cent of the family head sof China
at SO a month. We might double this
figure to compensate for the difference
between dollar power in China and
dollar power in the United States. but
life is doleful for a family man, even
at Sc month. People living on such
a scale are always a little hungry.
China in venerable and worn out, her
forests are gone, her mountain slopes
denuded of arabic soil, her people blue
and discouraged. Like India. she is
one Of the countries in which no wise
man or woman would willingly be
born. But the CHASTITY truth Is that
more of the human race live on, or
near. the Chinese scale. than live on
or near the American scale.
The great task of civilization for
generations to come will be to lift
these low living standards to higher
levels. The great battles of the future
will be silent struggles between stand
ards Of living. This is the immigration
standard peoples must not let their
standards be cut by cheaper living
races, but must try to pull the others
up to their economic level. There is no
danger whatever Of the Orient run
ming amuck In military way. because
it hasn't the necessary industrial
background, but there is danger
enough that the cheapness Of life in
the Orient will. If 1t lis not altered for
the better. cheaper life every where.
This danger Is part OF the price we
pay for having made the world so
small
