GETTING Around a Difficulty.

Automobile manufacturers or the
United States do not purpose allowing
a serious matter, such as railway traf-
fic congestion, to interfere with their
business, if they can help it. When
the big freight tieup first began to
look formidable, automobile makers
faced a prospective loss running into
many millions of dollars, because, aH-
parently, they could not secure deliw
cries. Not until then did it occur to
them that, If an automobile was worth
anything at all, it should be able to de-
liver itself. And now what Is known to
the trade as the "drive-away" has been
inaugurated. The cars leave the fac
tory and arrive at their destination
under their own power. A drove OF
e2 cars was recently sent from Cleve-
land to Chicago in this way. It Is exr
pected that the 'drive-away" will be-
come a fashionable thing during tho
coming STANDARDIZATION Science

the passengers of their money and jew

"Its lonely spot and they'll have to
take time to get the safe open. I'll

ends.

"Now then, have they got an fntelli-
gent operator at the other end Of the
wire, or bunkhead?"
What Dan had done was simple and
scarcely original. He tapped out a
slow but startling message, and some
one at the other end of the line learned
that the 8:11 was stalled at certain
point, not ten miles away, by train rob-
bers. A posse in swift automobiles was
suggested by Dan.
Then he eased back and wondered if
due diligence would obstruct the
robbers before they got away. Just as
he calculated, the robbers had no easy
task in getting into the express car
and forcing it's safe. Half an hour went
by when, from the city, half dozen
automobiles dashed down the crossing
road. The robbers were surrounded
and secured after struggle. The
booty of those who had gone through
the train and held up the passengers
was restored to them.
One among them vociferously glOae-
ed over his restored money.

HOW BIG WARS HAVE STARTED
Cables or Wireless Would Have Pre-
vented Conflict Between United
States and England in 1912.

Had there been an ocean telegraph
in 1872 there might not have been a
war with England at that time. Five
DAYS after President Madison signed
the declaration of war, England re-
called the orders in council which had
provoked it. The purpose to recall the
orders was unknown in America.
while in England nothing was known
of the war declaration when the or
ders were revoked. This wars most
important battle, that Of New Orleans,
was fought Is days after the treaty
of peace had been signed at Client.
1t was this battle which made Jackson
popular idol and gave him the presi-
dency.
The first step in the Crimean war
was Russia's invasion of MOldavia,
months before diplomatic rupture with
England and France. The firing on
Fort Sumter, which started the war
between the states is a familiar story.
The first shot of the Franco-Prussian
war was by a French soldier on guard
at StraSburg bridge day or two be-
fore Napoleon III formally took the
field. The attempt on Bismarck's life
as he was walking down the Inter
den Linden on May z. 1866, rallied pub
lie sentiment to him and his policy,
and from a dramatic standpoint may
be said to have been the first shot in
the Austro-P russian war; The blowing
up of the Maine was the first blow in
the Spanish-American war, which end
ed Spanish possessions in the new

China Rejects Confucianism.

Efforts to make Confucianism the
state religion of China have agair
failed. Parliament recently cast a
vote on the question of recognizing
Confucianism as the official religion in
the proposed new constitution, and the
measure was lost by a vote of 264 to
255. Many politicians have refused to
participate in the religious discussions
in parliament, which have resulted in
much bitter feeling. Three and half
million Christian Chinese have stood
behind the members Of parliament
who opposed the adoption of Confu-
cianism, and conducted very effective
campaign. The opposition of the Chris
tians was that no religion should be
recognized by the government, but
that persons of all faiths should be
permitted to practice their religion
without government hindrance or sup
port.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes 1air nick
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautifui-No
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-Dut
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
fng-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible ulster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. ADV.
