DRIVING COMFORTS.
BY W. v. ReIma.

There are many articles that do not
come with the average car, which,
while not absolutely essential, add
much to the safety and comfort OF
the riders.
p One is a rear.vision mirror. This Is
a small oval or round mirror which
is clamped to the wind shield or other
convenient place, and enables the
driver to see the vehicles back Of him.
This enables him to judge about max
ing turns, without turning his head.
These sell for 81 up. Some are dimin-
fishing mirrors which make the object
appear much smaller than usual and
of course much greater area is Gov
cred.
A motor-meter is another useful ac-
cessory. This is a heat Indicator
mounted on the radiator cap Of the
car. The temperature OF the radiator
is indicated to the driver at all times.
II the fan belt breaks and the heat
suddenly becomes. dangerous. the me.
tor instantly registers this fact. II
the radiator needs water or the III.
IRRIGATION system is suffering for lack
of oil, this little device calls atten.
ton to these needs by giving warn.
ing about the high temperature.
Most racing cars are so equipped. 1t
enables the driver to discover motor
troubles before II is too late. The
prices range from $3.50 to $40.

He oBEYED ORDERS.
And Il Proved q Stirring Time For the
Old Sergeant.

Old Sergeant.
II Is In time OF war that the virtue
Of military obedience finds naturally
Its highest exempli6cation. but 1t Is
occasionally shown to striking degree
In time Of peace. A recent writer on
popular science, among group Of an.
ecdotes concerning work In the labora-
tory. tells one Of Michael Faraday and
a trusted old assistant who had for
merly eonged to the army. Sergeant
Anderson had little learning and un-
derstood nothing Of science. He had
not the faintest Idea as to the meaning
Of the experiments In which he helped
his distinguished employer. Neverthe
less Faraday set high value upon
his services. and rightly so. Absolute
faithfulness Is precious indeed.
One day Faraday directed the ex
sergeant to stir potful Of chemicals
over a Gre and by no means to stop
until he was told that he might do 90.
II am going upstairs to tea" said
the scientist. "but directly after shall
come down. as usual. to work In the
laboratory this evening"
But unforeseen circumstances arose
to keep him upstairs. He had several
visitors In succession. whose converse
ton so distracted his mind that he
quite forgot the pot on the fire and the
watcher beside 1t, faithfully swishing
circles with long ladle In the bub
bling contents. He bade the last de
parting caller good night and went
serenely to bed, still unremembering.
When he came down the next morn
ing Sergeant Anderson, weary. but In
domitable, was still bending over the
pot, still swishing the long ladle pa
tiently round and round In all Of the
mixture that had not boiled away dur
ing the night. At Faraday's exclama
ton he looked up hopefully. but with.
out ceasing to ply the ladle

PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
self in Fit Physical Con-
dition.

Villa Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice Of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself tit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees TO begin again her work OF
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls. Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
fu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is Il fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been a long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times.
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum
mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favorite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it to his third son. but UNI
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep 1t up.
Prince Andrew is colonel of a cav
airy regiment-not lucrative EN-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich. and the pair. who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe is full of royal
girls and short of royal boys to marry
them

POST AFTER TWO YEARS.
Resignation Is Not Effective Until

ready relieved the colonel of his duties
as head of the institution.
Henry Campbell, treasurer OF the

duties OF governor at the institution.
He was named after Col. Cornelius
Wheeler had resigned.
Il haven't had vacation in many
years" Col. ljams said, "and the main

years And, besides, ! feel that | am
getting too old to properly attend to

Leather From Ostrich Skins.

Ostrich skins form the subject of
a late news item from Cape Town,
South Africa. The truth seems to be
that there has been no business man
enterprising enough to push this side
line of the ostrich feather business
during the last couple Of years, when
skins have been procurable at a nomi-
nal sum. 1t can be produced in vari-
Gus colors and thicknesses, and just
after tanning it is about twice the
thickness of goatskin, is very tough,
with Il strong fiber, which, unlike ordi-
nary leather, is not interviewer but
Hes in separate layers, which can be
pulled off by hand so as to get the
thickness required. There is no rea-
son, says the dispatch, why ladies'
leather goods, slippers, and other ar
ticles should not be extensively manu-
featured out of ostrich hide.

SIX HUNTERS ARE
KILLED IN STATE
ONE OF LOWEST DEATH RATES
KNOWN FOR A HUNTING
SEASON IN MANY YEARS.
ONE MISTAKEN FOR A DEER
Three Killed BY Other Accidents and
Two Were Drowned from Duck
Boats.--"Buck Law Is
Given Credit.

Milwaukee -- With approximately
10000 Wisconsin hunting licenses is
sued for the shooting season OF 1916
only four fatalities occurred in tho
state from shooting accidents. one
man was mistaken for deer another
was struck by stray bullet hunter
killed a companion in the excitement
of shooting at a running rabbit, and a
fourth fell from a stump and was Kill
ed by the accidental discharge OF ms
own gun Two hunters were drowned
from duck boats,
In other words, there were four Ia
talities from gun accidents among
10000 hunters, one death OF every
1880 hunters in period OF nearly
three months. This, say members Of
the Wisconsin conservation commlS-
sion, is one of the very lowest death
rates the state has known in hunt-
ing season in many years.
Hunters give credit to the buck
law" for the few accidents during the
Wisconsin deer season. A year ago,
when the buck law first went into ef-
feet, not fatality occurred in Wis
cons'u through the hunters being mis-
taken for a deer. The year before
there were eleven deaths, and more
than twenty hunters were wounded by
becoming targets for the man VINO
shot before he looked, and in 1913
twentyseven hunters were killed IN
the north woods. This year, with a
single fatality through hasty shooting,
the law again has been indicated, de-
clare conservation officials. While
many does may have been killed by
hunters who ignore the law, the total
deer kill' has been reduced by one
half in 1916 from that of 1914, as it
was in 1915. and with one exception
every deer hunter who went into the
woods has come back with his life

METHOD OF SAVING
BETTER TO "EVEN THINGS UP"
THAN EVEN THEM DOWN.
Advice Given Youth Who Had Re-
ceived Small Legacy Is Well Worth
Needing by the Man Who
Would Win Success.

In an article in the American Maya
zine n writer says:
when an old uncle of mine died
and left me little bequest of five
hundred and forty-five dollars, my first
impulse was to even it off : and if it
hadn't been for an old friend of my
fathers think | would have succeed
ed in neatly pairing it down to zero.
"'What were you thinking of doing
with that money! he asked casually
one day.
"'Well,' I replied, 4 think I'll just
take that forty-tive dollars and go for
II little lake trip, and then I'll have
five hundred dollars to put in the
bank
"'Why five hundred dollars?' he
said. why not five hundred and forty
five dolars?'
have an even amount.
"'Do you suppose you could spare
me five dollars? he asked suddenly.
why, yes / replied little sur
prised that he should ask to borrow
money of me; but l handed it to him.
"'All right, then he said; here's
five Misunderstanding me back that
same bill. If you'll just put this with
that five hundred and forty-tive dol
lars you'll have five hundred and fifty
dollars, and that's nice even amount.
Now, if you'll put that in the bank,
;,< IL Il
five dollars and fifty cents more, and
surely in the meantime you can scrape
together forty-four dollars and fifty
cents, and then you'll have an even
six hundred dollars instead of five
hundred
"'Well, what could l do with six
hundred dollarsY l asked, not very
much impressed, as the difference
didn't seem worth the trouble.
Zone thing you could do replied
the old gentleman, would be to ask
your banker to buy thousand-dollar
bond for you, or, rather, to lend you
the extra four hundred dollars, keep
ing the bond as security. and then it
wouldn't be long before you would
have n thousand dollars. which, for
"even amounts" is little better than
five hunuied.'
Then with pencil and paper he
showed me carefully just how long it
would take.
"'Of course you don't have to do it
II you don't want to; but | have no
ticed,' he went on thoughtfully, that
this business of having little by you
is pretty much Il matter of the way
your mind works. Some people al
ways want to even things off in money
matters, others want to even them up.
And once you get started at it, think
ing up isn't much harder than think
ing down. For instance, if l showed
you thirteen cents, you might say, 81
can spend three cents for popcorn,
and then I'll have dime" or you
could say, "lf | put two cents with
that I'll have fifteen cents
"It's the downhill people, the
people who follow the path of least
resistance, the people who slice off
little instead of building up a little
who never get anywhere in life"

OIL Deposits in Peru.

An American citizen who has Just
arrived in Para, after completing a
trnnscontinental trip from Lima, Peru,
says that while he was in Iquitos re-
ports were current of the discovery OF
oil on the Huallaga river, about two
days journey from a small town in
Peru known as Yurimaguas. Samples
of this oil have been found to be of
good quality, with the result that vari.
Gus investigations concerning the
value OF the discovery are underway.
