Length Of a Day.

A day is generally supposed to be
a period OF twentyfour hours. but this
is not necessarily so The period OF
the suns position above the horizon
also constitutes a day. The actual
measure of time covered by day as
we know it is twenty-three hours. fifty
six minutes and five seconds In some
parts OF Norway the day lasts two

The Dixie Highway AS
An Advertising Medium

today. Rarely can be found men Of
their stamp who are willing to : i've
time and money, energy and nerve,
to the promotion OF such a project
they realize the immense possibi-i-
ties Of these four states alone, and
are willing to stand by the organiza-
ton which will do more in practical
/ presenting these good things to
people who are willing to be shown,
than any other medium yet thou hit
of. Give these millions and more
motorists the safe and sane artery
over which to travel and the other
thugs will follow Years of exper-
fence, years with our fingers on the
pulse Of these people, years of prac-
tical study of an association with
the great and growing touring pub
lie, was responsible for the sugges-
ton Of the Dixie Highway, and
consequent intimate knowledge Ct
thoughts and desires of these mil
lions only clinches the thought and
idea that the greatest asset of all
to these four states and their sisters
is the Dixie Highway
Ebert Hubbard is once reported
to have said he was the only man
alive who was able to make the pub
lie ray to hear him advertise his own
goods. which in a measure was true
and in a greater measure, will be
true Of the tourist travel which will
be inspired by the Dixie Highway
and the most wonderful country
throu7h which it will lead these peo-
pie WHO are paying their own ex-
penses to be shown, and in the very
nature of things can not help but
advertise and advertise and adver-
tise again, each time they tell the
story there are listening ears, and
awakened desires. This, therefore, is
business, practical business, and
intelligent snlf-lntereSt.
The Dixie Highway not only will
be when the time is ripe but is
now an advertisement worth moro
than money can buy
Support the Dixie Highway move
mcnt therefore, means the biggest
advertisement these four States, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Georcia and Flor
ida have ever seen or could ever bny.
The greatest amount Of credit is
due to the newspapers such as yours.
in this movement, it shows that you
are in tune with President Wilson's
idea when he said ct is of the ut
most Importance that the people of
this country should think In large
figures, should think together" ard
my hat is off to the Papers who have
caught the big idea and have so well
supported and boosted the Dixie
Highway. Sincerely,
w. S. GILBREATH,
Field Secretary the Dixie Highway
Association.

Los ANGELES, California, the ten-year-

Will have his PHI D. at the age of
sixteen, outstripping in actual learn
ing the German wonder of the last
century, Karl Witte While his con-
temporaries are locating the Atlantic

As soon as Raymond began to
take notice Of the world about him,
his mother tam7 hit him to distin guish
colors the most striking ones like
white, black, red and blue being
taken first She always talked to
him as She would an adult, scorning
baby talk as degrading to his in
telli~ence. Pictures were used
great deal Before he was ten months
old he began to call the presidents of
the United States by their first
names. His pro.ress in reading was
as remarkable At the age of year

three he could read and write, and
at five he read "Hiawatha" in pub
lie. Il
Tie boy is we'll developed ply

alive to his finger tips. He has
natural talent for music and dra-

that he is not prodigy and that any
normal boy could accomplish as
much with proper training.
