Red Foxss Mate For Life.

Since the days Of Aesop's fables tales
of foxes and their dcings have had
their place In literature as well as In
the folk lore of the countryside. Many
Of their amazing wiles to outwit pur.
suers or to capture their prey give evil
dence Of extraordinary mental powers.
Their bill Of fare includes many items.
such as mice, birds, reptiles. insects,
many kinds Of fruits and on rare occa-
si0ns a chicken.
Red foxes apparently pair for life
and occupy dens dug by themselves In
q secluded knoll or among rocks. These
dens, which sometimes are occupied
for years in succession, always have
two or more entrances opening In OPP
posite directions, so that an enemy en-.
tering on one side may be eluded read

or nine. are tenderly cared for by both

A Bird Joksr.

A most surprising Australian bird is
the kookooburra. or laughing jackass.
All at once In the quiet bush come loud
peals Of uproarious. mocking laughter.
One is not inclined to join In the mer-
riment-it all seems as foolish and
weird as II an idiot boy were disturb
ing a congregation In church. When
the source Of the laughter is located 1t
turns out to be silly looking bird,
with clumsy. square body and open
mouth, sitting unconcernedly on a
stump. = National Geographic Maya

THEATRE AUDIENCES.

A Sermon For Those Who Arrivs Late
and Depart Early.
It is one Of our most hallowed ma
tonal customs not to 80 into theater
until the curtain has risen. II by some
stupid blunder we have arrived pune
tually we smoke a cigarette In the
lobby.
So the cunning playwright takes care
not to start his story until at least five
minutes later. He occupies these five
minutes with q colorless scene Of some
kind just to keep the groundlings
amused In some cases he will begin
each act in the same way. 1t depends
on how fashionable his audience is and
how thirsty. For converse reason he
must finish his play FIVE minutes be-
fore the final curtain falls.
Another Of our national customs Is
to leave the theater the moment Ed
win has embraced Angelina, although
the author may have reserved quaint
comedy touch or dramatic surprise
for the actual end.
It is no use altering the hour Of per-
Torrance. Begin at midnight II you
like; we shall not come until five min
utes after. Leave off at 10: we shall
go out five minutes before. 1t Is In the
blood. The idea that an audience owes
any consideration to authors or actors
is entirely foreign to us. The very
suggestion of II is almost an imperti-
nence.-Louis N. Parker in New York

of utilizing farm products which now

can solve the problem. and no time

the same manner at once. We must
find some way to increase the yield
Of food products, not only per acre, but

NEW INVENTION WILL

With the United States preparing for
an active part in the great war many
of the manufacturers of trucks are
clearing the decks for action so that
thev viii be ready to supply the gov
eminent with armored trucks for
actual warfare duty as well as trans
port trucks
Proof of the practicability of heavy
, motor trucks for the transportation of
army supplies in time of war was fully
demonstrated short time ago when a
fleet of fully laden ) to 6 ton Mack and
Saurer trucks made a trial run over
the roads of southern New York and
the adjacent New Jersey.
1t was the first trip of its kind ever
made in this country. Patriotic Amer
lean citizens volunteered their vehicles
in a sincere endeavor to find out just
exactly what problems would be en-
countered in case of war and the COM
Wandering of motor vehicles, and the
best way in which to solve them.

HUPP OUTPUT DURING

ALL PLANT RECORDS

Even with -; tie difficulties en-
colntercd with the material market
and tie freight car situation, the bust
ness of the Hupp Moo. Car corpora
ton Tor the first ~uarter Of 1917 broke
all records for the company says Lee
Anderson. vice president in charge OF
the commercial division.
More cars were produced and
shipped by the Hupp company during
the first quarter of 1917 than at any
other similar period. This is remark
able considering the fact that our pro-
duction was reduced by the difficulty
In getting raw material into Detroit,
due To- Freight embargoes in the Vari-
Gus sec tons Of the country, and that
shipments we're handicapped by the
freight car shortage. Like other COM
pauics. We We're forced for weeks to
drive to dealer territories a large part
of our product that the demand might
i'm some raea sure be met But even with
all these Ora wbacks, the company en-
juSed the biggest winter quarter of its
history
shipments for January and March
were larger than any corresponding
months of previous years. February
r as slightly under 1916 but this was
due entirety to inability to ship, the
freight situation becoming most acute
during February.
That the country is demanding
more cars of the Hupmobile type than
ever before is evidenced by the fact
that even with the record breaking
business. We have still failed to fill our
orders and the month of March found
us with over 1890 orders for machines
for immediate shipment carried over.
The demand comes from no particular
section of the country, out is universal
and every one of our big distributors
is constantly demanding more ma
chimes and insisting upon increasing
his allotment

1910 and 1917. we and the Hupmobile
distributors figured that il would be

Unfortunately. however, the demand
ali WINTER was continued at such a
pace that We have not been able to
calIy cot our storage plans and the
first OF April found us without the
desired supply. solely dependent on
current production.
Our dealers were in the Same posi-
ton and those that had planned TO
have an adequate supply Of machines
on hand for the opening OF the season
find themselves not only without these
cars but unable to obtain sufficient
machines for immediate delivery. and
increasing demand is daily piling up
orders faster than the factory can
build ears.
The whole situation has resolved
itself into the old one so well known
in the early days of the industry when
il was necessary for the purchaser to
place his order far in advance in or

1t is impossible to overestimate the
value of these instruments to the auto
mobile buying public. BY automatically
keeping the temperature even, and by
removing the human element, thereby
doing away with the chance of max
ing mistake, these promoters assure
a uniformity of quality that adds much
to the sum total of Buick popularity.
Battery of Dynometers
Another recent innovation in the in
spection department is the installation
of a battery of dynometers. These
expensive contrivances, which are the
only sure method of determining horse
power, play an important part in the
final assembly of the Buick car. To
properly understand their function it
Arizona republican., 1917-04-15

should be first explained that the dy-
nometer test is the most scientific as
well as the only method of determining
a motors power After motor has
gone through it's initial inspection it
is run for number of hours at high
speed under its own power.
1T then undergoes another guelling
test after which it is put on the dyno-
meter and an actual chart of its horse
power is made. If the motor fails to
develop in excess of the required
horsepower it is rejected. This dyno-
meter test, TO which every Buick mo-
tor is now subjected before it goes into
the car, assures that every Buick own
er will get a perfectly inspected mo-
tor, hence a perfectly running motor.
for it is physical impossibility for
motor to develop its required horse
power unless all parts are working in
perfect accord

NEW WORKING PLAN ADOPTED

The operation OF the Goodyear TIC
K Rubber company's cotton mills at
Killinsly, Connecticut, has been
watched with interest by all textile
manufacturers, for this company was
the first OF the rubber companies of
the United States to establish its own
cotton mills. Now comes the an
nouncement that upon the completion
of the buildings under construction a
three-shift eight-hour day will be put
into operation. This is a radical de-

heretofore prevalent III the textile
