THAT the south is as thoroly alive
to the added earning power of the
motor truck as other sections of the
country is particularly noticeable
from the steadily increasing sales OF
our southern distributors and deal
ers," says w. A. Scott of the Kissel-
Kar. Not only business concerns,
but cotton-growers, mill-owners and
manufacturers are realizing that the
initial cost of trucks is comparatively
low when their long life and greater
service radius are considered. Their
efficiency in increasing and intensity

first consideration, as every industry
in every line Is speeding up faster

DID MERNLAIDS EVER ENIST?
Belief of the Ancicnts May Have
Been Founded on Facts.

Mermaids We're not mythical crea-
lures at all, but real, living, accord
ing to some scientists, who, in sup
port of this belief, point to the slele-
ton of a strange animal, half human
and half fish, said to-be more than
1000 years old and reported to have
been found deeply imbedded in sand,
on the coast of China.
This skeleton is said to be consider
ably smaller than the proportions of a
mermaid, according to popular con-
ception, which pictures her with n
form much the same as that of a
woman.
1t is pointed out that this skeleton
might have belonged to dwarf Of
the species, or to a kind of fish which
is said to have been common in
Chinese waters about 5000 b. c. And
Il is conceivable that the creature
might have grown to larger size in
a different climate.
The skeleton which has come to
light after centuries is described as
having had a head, shoulders and
arms like those of a woman, as proved
by the formation of the bones and
skull. The lower half Of the body
became petrified, and in all respects
was like the tail of a fish, with several
fins On the head and the upper
portion of the body a shrEeled skin
was found. similar to that OF an Egyp-
tian mummy.
If further proof were needed, It
would seem to be supplied by few
strands of hair on the head Derma-
tologists have decided that this was
once flaxen and grew abundantly.
Every story of a mermaid pictured
goddesslike creature, sitting upon a
rock in the sea, Combing her hair.
Almost every one of the ancient races
left behind their accounts of the mer-
maid. There have been discredited
for ages, being grouped with other
myths such as the Greeks entertained.
The sea serpent and dragon of such
terrible aspect described by writers of
old were ranked with the mermaids as
a Pigment of imagination. But the
discovery OF this skeltain, It is
claimed. discredits all the theories of
civilization and brings to the fore
once more the question so often asked
there really mermaids?
The name mermaid is OF Teutonic
origin, corresponding with triton and
sirens as used in antiquity. The Chal-
leans called this creature Cannes, the
Chinese named her Wimpus. and even
one tribe of American Indians were
said to have had legend Of the mer-
maid, in which they term her Ottawes
1t has been one of the unexplain-
able points OF the mermaid legend
that so many peoples in such distant
parts OF the globe believed in the
reality of n creature half woman and
half fish. 1t would be hard to imagine
two races further apart than the
Chaldeans and the Indians, but both
knew OF the mermaid.
Whatever OF truth there may be In
the reported finding OF this skeleton
IL. at any rate. opens anew one of
the most fascinating chapters in the
lore of mankind.

no, You Sunny Fascination" as the
theme. The words are written by Mrs.
e. NJ. Hoover and the music by Mrs.
w. M. Turkey.
Both women have already won rec
ognition in their respective lines; Mrs.
Hoover has had many of her clever
bits of verse and prose published in
Life" Judge" Smart Set" and
other publications and Mrs. Turkey has
had several musical compositions ac-
copied Their collaboration in the Id
aho song is a particularly happy one.
1t is not mere state song. but a de-
scriptive novelty song with a love and
comedy interest and a catchy dance
melody 1t bids fair to extend its pop
ularity beyond Idaho. The song has
made a decided hit in Boise and is be-
ing featured by soloists, quartets, and
dance orchestras.
The words of the song ard bright
and clever and the music, a good fox
trot, specially fits the spirit of the
words.
