Autumn,


Now when the time of fruit and grain Is
come,
When apples hang above the orchard
wall,
And from tangle by the roadside stream
scent of wild grapes fills the racy air,
Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt cara
van,
Like long gypsy train with trappings
And tattered colors of the Orient,
Moving slow-footed through the dreamy
hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her coming. wear
Tits OF Bokhara and of Samarcand;
The naples glow with their Pompeian
red,
The hickories with burnt Etruscan gold;
And while the crickets fife along her
march,
Behind her banners burns the crimson
Bliss Carman in the Atlantic.

How far a car goes on set of tires
is a question of first importance to
the motorist TO answer it for their
product. The Franklin Automobile
Company has just completed com
pilation of averages taken from re-
ports received from owners in all
parts OF the country. The records
cover the period beginning with 1912
and ending with January, 1917, FIVE
years. The grand average for these
five years is 10,203 miles per set Of
tires.
Probably the greatest danger of
gasoline comes from the fact that the
yapor is very heavy apd colorless.
Since.it cannot be seen there is little
indication OF its presence. 1t may ac-
emulate at the bottom of closed
room or on the floor of garage until
someone drops a lighted match and
sets fire to it, When allowed to ac-
emulate in this manner its explosive
power is tremendous. The wall of
brick building might easily be blown
out as the result of an accumulation
of gasoline vapor in the cellar If
match was applied

If Jupiter were cut uli into 1900
pieces each would be larger than the
earth. All the planets together do not
weigh half as much as Jupiter Only
the sun SURPRISES Jupiter in size. y
year on the planet Jupiter Is equal. to
twelve of our years. Jupiter rotatcs
on its axis in less than half the time
Of the earth, but because of the plan
cts enormous size the rotation speed
Is much higher. While the earth
travels seventeen miles 4 minute, Jupi-
tor travels AGO miles minute If
Jupiter turned on It's axis little faster
i would burst, as some hywhecIs do
when they exceed Il safe speed. Jupi-
ter may I've regarded either as a decay

Asbestos Rope Test.

Tensile tests of asbestos rope by two
Russian experimenters indicate that it
is unsuitable for life lines at fires ana
that il is less reliable under heating
and wetting than hemp rope, though its
endurance may be somewhat greater.
The ropes were made of n variety of
asbestos from the Ural mountains. The
rope was merely dried out on heating
up to 200 degrees e.: then up to 800
degrees there was large loss in weight
from the burning out of organic mat

100 degrees the loss of combined water
so loosened the iibers that the strength
fell to less than 10 per cent Of the orig

REAL BARGAINS.

II is just as silly TO avoid all bar
gains on general principle as it is
10 rush 10 every bargain sale you see
advertised. Some bargain sales are
worth rushing to: others are pure
swindles. The only reason 1 person
ally do not feel very indignant
agar y the merchants-there are
only a few of the tribe nOw-who
offer these false bargain sales is
that any woman who uses any sense
really can tell a bargain when she
sees II, and the bargain hunter who
wastes her money on bargains that
are not bargains would. no doubt,
waste it in some other equally fool
ish way if she did not waste il in
that way
But there really are many wom-
en- who don't benefit themselves as
much as they might by patronizing
bargains. Every woman who wants
to make her money go as far as pos
sible should read the papers reg
ularly She will soon get so she can
tell pretty we'll whether or not an
advertised bargain is as good as it
sounds.
