AN IMPORTANT FACT

An important and noteworthy
fact is vouched for by the Editor
ial Department Of Automobile
Topics" a well-known trade author
ity. which has been making a care
~ analysis Of the comparative
nature of automobile service. They
state that of the 100000 motor cars
Of all kinds in service in the United
States today, they can conservative
ly say from their investigation that
over one-half Of the mileage of the
100000 cars is used for business
purposes. Literally, this means
that the 100000 automobiles run
ming in this country today. one
half. or 100000 are used for bust
ness purposes. This leaves only
one and a half million in use for
pleasure or social transportation
purposes.
In considering the 100000 auto
mobiles in use today, which may
legitimately be classed as pleasure
cars" an important fact should be
borne in mind, namely: the so
called pleasure car of today has q
distinct economic use, it being only
reasonable to deduce that the time
and money spent in motoring for
pleasure or social intercourse al
most invariably takes the place of
some other form of expenditure Of
less actual economic value. Motor
ing is a pleasure that makes for
broader vision, saner and more
helpful diversions and a more SYM
pathetic socia! life. A nation with
out its sane pleasures is hopeless.
Therefore, il is far from logical TO
consider the so-called pleasure car
OF today as an added luxury.
If production increases at the rate
for the past five years,
which is unlikely, due to greater
manufacturing problems and to in
ability of the selling and distribu-
tive branches to keep pace with
greatly augmented manufacturing
the point of saturation will
not be reached in five, six, or even
seven years. And some of the lead
ers in the industry predict that il
will be a matter OF ten or twelve
years.
All signs point to continued de-
velopment for several years TO come.

more than an hour was held At the
American embassy between the Span
ish ambassador and Ambassador Page.
All parties 10 the conference are
maintaining a rigid silence, but II 10
assumed from the length OF the dis.
cussions that the whole range Of the
questions growing out OF the rupture
OF diplomatic relations between Ger.
many and the United States was dis
cussed with Secretary Balfour and
that the conference between Ambas-
sador Page and the Spanish ambas-
sador related more particularly to the
question OF the participation OF Spain
and Spanish-American countries In
action similar to that Of the United
States.
No consideration OF khe part the
United States may take in event II
entered the war is being made by tho
British ofhcials. This phase 10 be-
coming increasingly apparent, for
while public and press opinion treats
war as Inevitable. the Official view Is
scrupulously careful to avoid the ap-
pearance Of exerting the slightest
pressure toward that result.
This IL even emphasized 1y the
view that Americas attitude in deal
ing with Great Britain and other coun.
tries is still that of a neutral. II Is
pointed out that a nation can be
either neutral or belligerent and that
its severance Of diplomatic relations
does not create belligerency. The
United States is still dealing with the
foreign countries as a neutral.
The Spanish ambassadors call at
the American embassy came after
several London papers had given
prominence to a Rome dispatch to
the effect that Spain would follow the
lead OF the United States. But so far
as can be learned, Senior Merry Del
Val, the ambassador, has no definite
advices confirming such a purpose.
Spanish circles, however, are deeply
interested and directly affected, as
the new war zones threaten the end
of the Spanish fruit trade and many
other industries.
The growing Spanish uneasiness
also is being increased because Of the
close relations between Spain, Portu-
gal the Spanish-Americas and Cuba.

SIMPLICITY, THE SEAL
OF TRUTH

A clergyman living near Leyden
was the father Of thirteen children.
The eldest, born December 81, 1868,
was Herman Boerhaave. accounted
by many the most famous physician
not only Of the 18th but probably Of
airy century. He died Of govt in
.73S.
He was an interchangeable teacher,
sometimes lectured five hours a day
to his students al Leyden. He was
the first to give separate lectures on
ophthalmology (the science Of dis
eases Of the eye) and TO use a
magnifying glass in the examination
Of the eye. He combined with q de-
sire TO study diseases at the bedside,
freedom from theoretical and phil
osophical influence which led him
Ia use the most modern diagnostic
apparatus which he could secure.
He was so famous that a Chinese
official once sent him letter ad-

physician in Europe" His maxim
was simplicity is the seal Of TRUTH
The modern diagnosis Of disease
aims to employ every method which
will reveal the exact mental and
physical conditions of the patient.
Psycho-analysis will reveal the
depths of the patients mind almost
as clearly as the X-ray shows the
broken bone hidden beneath the
tissues. The pressure Of the blood

other parts Of the body. Nothing is
taken for granted: the blood is ex-
amined: the activity Of the stomach
is estimated; the validity Of the ner-
vous system is looked into. The
modern physician finds the disease
before he treats it.
Accurate diagnosis is Of import
ance to the public health because an
early and correct knowledge Of the
presence of a disease affords oppor-
tunity to prevent its spread. The
ease of tuberculosis which is found
early has an infinitely greater
chance of recovery than the one
which is found late. Boerhaave rec

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES AWAY

As we go To press. il is with regret
that We learn Of the death OF James
w. Van Wrinkle, who died of pneumo-
mia Tuesday afternoon at his home in
Mt. Vernon. Mr.. Van Wrinkle was
almost a pioneer Of Berea. having
moved 90 Berea more than forty
years ago but having made his home
in Mt. Vernon during the past eight
years. He is survived by his second
wife and all Of the ten children by
his first wife, who died in the latter
part Of 1899.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle, "by reason Of
strength" had passed his four
score years, having been born June
i3. 1896. He was a public school
teacher for more than sixty years,
having completed his last school a
few months prior to his eightieth
birthday, and bore the distinction Of
being the ranking pioneer school
teacher OF Kentucky. In educational
matters and in world affairs in gen.
eral he was up To date to the last,
and his chapters of history Of the
Civil War which were printed in The

They landed, after many days,
Upon a tropic shore,
Where palms and flowers swayed in
the breeze
That sweetest fragrance bore.
They Travelled northward,
Cross the wastes of sand and sun
burned shale
Until at last, their journey DER.
They settled in this vale.
Where then, as now, the Lupins
grew,
And gorgeous cups Of gold"
Made bright the shadows that are
BY mountains SCARED and old.
Surrounded by the forest
That chung TO every hill,
They reared this famous mission,
And built their simple mill.
They plowed the fertile meadows,
And sowed the level plain,
Till far and near the fields we're
white,
With waving golden grain.
They planted fruit and vineyards;
Trained the roses into bowers:
While Ginning bells with solemn
clang
Counted the passing hours.
But best Of all they won the hearts
OF wild and savage men,
Painting an image Of the Christ,
Where ignorance had been.
The tribes learned peace instead OF
war,
Loved virtue more than shame;
They burned their idols in the fire,
And breathed the virgins name.
The missions grew and prospered,
While years sped swiftly by;
And noble Padres, one by one,
Lay down the cross, and die.
The Kings highway grew dusty
With the passing cavalcade
or priests, and tribes, and hunters
Marching through the forest shade.
For this famous road connected
All the missions far and near,
And along it one might travel
Unattend, without fear,
From the church at San Diego
To where the pillows roar,
On the stern and rock-bound head.

or San FranciscO's shore.
But fleeting years brought changes
In this fertile summer land;
For miners came to wash the gold
From out the shining sand.
And gold camps grew TO cities,
With churches, banks and stores;
And putting trains that brought bold
men
From distant foreign shores.
The red men left their old time
haunts,
And white men came TO stay;
While these historic missions
Slowly crumbled to decay.
You see it now as twilight
Slowly deepens in its halls,
And pigments Of the western sky
Clean faint upon its walls;
While through the darkning shad-
Ows,
Ghosts Of dusky warriors stalk;
And round the broken altar,
Fantom Friars slowly walk.
And through the solemn stiffness,
Tolling like a funeral knell,
In your fancy-if you listen,
You can hear the mission bell.
Echoing through the empty cham
bers,
Der the graves where sleep the
dead,
And across the silent valley
Where the moons bright beams
are shed;
Bathing all the scene with beauty,
Like the glory that is past,
Softly whispering-as we listen,
All is peace-sweet peace-at last.
