SALON
CONES TO END TO-DAY

This is closing day at the Auto
mobile Salon in the Hotel Astor The
show comes TO an end this evening, and
with its closing the field Of motor cal
exhibitions is left TO the national show
in Grand Central Palace. It. has been
a most successful affair, the Automo-
bile Salon Of 1917, and the exhibitors
have cause to be pleased with the
amount of attention their cars and body
work features have attracted.
Incidentally, not alone the attention
has been gratifying, but orders for cars
in respectable amounts have been taken
by all the exhibitors.
There are excellent reasons for the
existence Of such shows as that in the
salon. To begin with, the manu-
facturers Of high priced cars may very
well not build enough to entitle them
by the amount Of business done IN
money every year to have prominent
spaces on the main floor Of the ma
tionsl exhibition hall
Prominent places belong to them by
virtue of their being long established
in the business, IL for no other reason.
And yet it happens that some concern
building a limited number Of high
priced cars is forced 20 yield a place
on the main floor to a company building
a very large quantity of low priced
machines. IL must be understood thar
show spaces are allotted on the basis
of annual business done in money and
the biggest money maker gets the first
call on show space and so on down the
line.
Then, again, some OF those who make
q speciality Of de luxe body work and
expensive cars feel that their product
shows to better advantage in the ball
room of the Hotel Aston than in the
palace, where, by force of circum-
stances, they may be placed alongside
some very moderate priced car pro
duced on quantity basis.
The only problem that the future ap
pears TO present is 10 find an exhibit
tion hall that will be big enough for
the salon. With the end Of the Euro
pean war, there will be many more for
eign cars coming over to this country
which. added TO those American makes
already admitted, will crowd the pres
ent floor so that either the number OF
cars to be shown or the number o.
makes admitted will have 10 be limited
or, thirdly, some other exhibition hal
will have to be sought. 1t will be hard
70 find a place so in keeping with the
spirit Of the exhibition as is the bali
room of the Aston.

uineers specializing on aviation motors.
The fundamentals are the same in the
automobile motor and the aviation
motor; the professional equipment and
the experience OF the automobile en-
Rineer are obviously more comprehen-
sive. and he has far more precedent
on which TO base his calculations.
The best thing the Congress could
do. IN my opinion, would be to set
aside reasonable sum 20 be spent
through American automobile engineer
ing departments in the development OF
the aviation motor. n something like
this is not done, We are going to wake
up some morning face TO face with a
national emergency, and our aviation
corps is going TO be blind and helpless.

stop railroads and the war will
stop almost instantly" the editor said.
There have been almost two revolu-
tions in the waging of war. The first
was due to the invention of gun pow
der and the second to the develop
ment of the railroads. Her railroads
alone have enabled Germany to shut
tie cock hundreds of thousands of
troops from one front to another as
needs arose.
"The vast armies of Europe today
could not be created or maintained
except for the ability of the railroads
to transport not only troops, but
enormous quantities of munitions and
supplies. Before the development of
railways armies were Obliged to main
tain a base of supplies which greatly
restricted their movement, particular
ly in any enemy's country. 1t is Of
the most vital Importance to the al
lies that their transportation facilities
not only of their countries, but Of the

Washington, June 9.-The annual

carrying $27,00OO00, was taken up in

its way to enactment would be much

armor- piercing projectiles and other
high explosive missiles found in the
catalogue OF the modern artillery
school of fire.
The effect OF these mines was
simply tremendous, even upon the
British troops, who were near them.
The Irishmen were just opposite one
of the biggest mines sprung. They
had just got to their feet in anticipa-
tio1 of the final word to move for
ward as the earth opened 200 yards
in front OF them. The force Of the
explosion was such and the earth
shook so violently that every man
was flung down. The men were up
again in an instant, however, and
pressed forward, happier than ever.
The manner in which Catholic and
Protestant Irishmen fought together
over the Messines ridge will ever be
a bright page in the English history
of the great war. 1t was a stroke of
genius on the part of the army COM
mander who thus brought them to-
gether. They had stiff hand to hand
lighting at several points, and no
troops in the world are better in this
style of warfare. Today many smil-
ing men from Ulster and from the
south of ireland were to be seen in
their new trenches wearing German
caps and helmets with broad grins
across their faces.
Tanks" had their ups and downs in
the battle, doing effective work and
also affording much amusement for
the "Tommes."

Hindu Serpent Charmers.

The power of the Hindu serpent
charmer to detect the presence of the
reptiles in a dwelling house and to
"charm" them out of it, is far too COM
mon to be made g matter Of skepti-
cism. He is often required to do this
in the full light of day, surrounded
by spectators and incredulous persons
have searched him beforehand; yet his
success has been complete. He as
sumes an air of mystery, strikes the
walls with a short stick, whistles,
makes a chuckling noise with his
tongue, and splits upon the ground, and
generally says: II adjure you by God,
If We be above, or if ye be below,
that We come forth. [ adjure you by
the most great name; if We be obedi-
ent, come forth; and if ye be disobe-
dent, die! die! die'' In all proba-
bility these charmers are acquainted
with some mysterious physical means
of discovering the presence Of serpents
without seeing them, and Of attracting
them from their hiding places.

The Hotel In the Forest.

Busaco, the beauty spot of Portugal,
is vast forest, in the center Of which
is situated one Of the finest hotels in
the country. Travellers arriving at this
noted hostelry invariably comment
upon the position of certain olive
tree standing just outside the hotel in
the center of the road, most awkward
~ situated for traffic. The reason the
obstruction is not cut down is due
to the fact that Wellington tied his
horse to this identical tree on the eve
of the battle of Busaco, 1910, and the
Inconvenience is put up with out Of
respect for the great general. An an
cient monastery formerly stood on the
site of the hotel, and Wellington is said
to have slept there on the eventful eve

WHEN YALE COLLEGE MOVED
Village of Saybrock, Where 1t Was
First Located, Bitterly Fought for
Its Retention.

During our walk we came upon a
bowlder in the middle of a field inlaid
with bronze plate which told us that
there was the original site Of Yale col
lege. Saybrook did not see the college
go to New Haven without a struggle,
and one of it's incidents is piquant to
recall-the famous battle of the col
lege books. In December, 1718, the
trustees, already migrated to New
Haven, desired to remove the college
library, which had been left behind
in Saybrook. But Saybrook refused
to give it up, and SO stubbornly that
the governor and council had to come
down from Hartford and set the sher-
if and his assistants to work. These,
however, found the house in which the
books were kept barred and guarded
by "reSOlute men," and even after the
sheriff had broken in and placed a
guard over the books the bOOk-lOvers
of Saybrook did not yet give in. On
the morrow it was found that the carts
that were to transport the books had
been disabled, and when others were
procured and a start finally made, it
was found that even the bridges along
the road had been destroyed in adj
vance of them! When before or since
has village shown such a furious pas
sion for learning Richard LIE Gal
lienne in Harper's Magazine.

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
HOPE PEACE PLEA WINS
Charles Says War Would End If Beili-

Amsterdam, Sept. 22.-The German
government, in it's reply to the peace
note of Pope Benedict, copy Of which
has been received here, "cherishes a
lively desire" that the appeal may
meet with success.
Emperor William, the German note
says, has been following the efforts
of the pope toward peace for a con-
siderable time with high respect.
The text of the German reply reads:
"Herr Cardinal: Your eminence has
been good enough, together with your
letter of August 2, to transmit to the
kaiser and king, my most gracious
master, the note of his holiness, the
pope, in which his holiness, filled with
grief at the devastations of the
world war, makes an emphatic peace
appeal to the heads of the belligerent
peoples. The kaiser-king has deigned
to acquaint me with your eminence's
letter and to intrust the reply to me.
"His majesty has been following for
a considerable time with high respect
and sincere gratitude his holiness eff
forts in a spirit of true impartialtty
to alleviate as far as possible the suf-
ferings of the war and to hasten the
end of hostilities. The kaiser sees in
the latest step of his holiness fresh
proof of his noble and humane feel
ings, and cherishes lively desire that
for the benefit of the entire world the
papal appeal may meet with success"
The text Of the German reply in part
reads:
"Holy Father: With due venera-
ton and deep emotion we take cog
nizance of the new representations
your holiness, in fulfillment of the
holy office intrusted you by God, make
to us and the heads of the other bel
ligerent states with the noble inten-
ton of leading the heavily tried ma
lions to q unity that will restore peace
to them.
with a thankful heart we received
this fresh gift Of fatherly care which
you, holy father, always bestOW on
all peoples without distinction, and
from the depth of our heart we greet
the moving exhortation which your
holiness has addressed to the gov
ernments Of the belligerent peoples.
During this cruel war we have al
ways looked up to your holiness as
to the highest parsonage who, in vir-
tue of his mission, which reaches be-
yond earthly things and, thanks to
the high conception of his duties laid
upon him, stands high above the bel
ligerent peoples and who is inaccessi-
BILE to all influence was able to find
q way which may lead to the real
ization of our own desire for peace,

Arithmetic Once Was Common.

At the time of. the colonization of
America in the first half Of the seven
teenth century arithmetic was not con-
sidered essential to a boys education
unless he was to enter. commercial life
or certain trades. The instruction in
arithmetic was often given in another
school, called a writing school, or a
reckoning school. When arithmetic
was taught in the grammar school it
was very rudimentary. Not only was
this true, but among the nobility and
the aristocracy Of the educated, arith-
metic was looked upon as common"
"vile," mechanic" because it was the
accomplishment Of clerks, artisans,
tradesmen and others who bore no
sign of heraldry. Consequently it was
beneath the dignity Of boy unless he
was '1ess capable Of learning and fit
test to be put to trades"
