Why Did Mrs. Cosgrove Say "TIl

house on Saturday night and the hour
on Monday when Mrs. Allis finally
vanished from our ken.
The knowledge that the suilen, chat
ing woman in the room opposite mine
cherished a cold, deadly anger against
me for the part had taken in thwart-
ing her plot to steal the pictures in
the farmhouse parlor secretly terrified
me. 1 could hear again the venom OF
her tones as she hurled her last de-
tiance at Dicky when he outlined the
conditions under which he would re-
frain from reporting her actions to
the authorities.

Mrs. Graham to bed right away, and
while the twins and Robert guard this

wildcat in her ROOM"
A contemptuous little smile twisted
Mrs. Allis' pale lips.
THAT is not SO nice a name, Papa
Cosgrove, as the one you called me the
las thine you talked to me-" she said
mockingly.
The big man started. and [ saw him
glance sheepishly at his wife. I knew
that Mrs Allis had amused herself
during her stay at the farmhouse by
carrying on a mild Irritation with Mr.
Cosgrove, and that Mrs. CosgroVe was
aware of it. But in the glance when
Mrs Cosgrove gave her husband there
was nothing of resentment, only the
lf-whimsical tolerance which one
would give to the antics of an over
grown puppy.

thing hidden in her tones that made
her big husbands face turn a brick

Dicky and I were at the door by this
time, so I did not hear the rest OF the

my room the look on Robert Savarln'
face when he realized that Mrs. Allis:
who he had once thought was his wife,
and who had tried to steal the valu-
able pictures he had painted, had en-
ployed her idle time to strike idly at
the happiness of the sister he adored.

Today the court was thrown into an uproar of excitement when a talesman produced pamphlet which he received through the mails favoring the defense. The man pro- duced it with evident satisfaction and the District Attorney intimated that these were being circulated by the defense. This brought forth an very indignant and heated rejoinder from Cochran who denied with con- siderable emphasis that he had any thing to do with it but he would not put it above the methods of some of

It was denying that he supported the latter policy that Ballin took occasion to state his views upon the peace situation. He warned Germans however to be pre- pared to continue the war for some time yet, but he believed that peace would come sooner than most did expect.

LEXINGTON MOTOR COMPANY AWARDED
 \ CHOICE SPACE

The rapid rise of the Lexington Mo tor company, of Connersville, Ind, from small producers of automobiles to the ranks of the large quantity builders is reflected in the position awarded to it by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce for the annual New York and Chicago motor car shows.
 The N. A. c. Of c. gives out the space strictly in accordance with the volume of business transacted during the last year by the exhibitors. The larger companies get the better posi- tions. This year the Lexington dis play will be found on the first floor at the New York show and on the main floor Of the Coliseum in Chicago.
 Inasmuch as there are less than 40 spaces for exhibitors on the first floor of the Grand Central palace, where the New York show is held, the prominent place which Lexington has achieved among the more than 200 manufactur- CTS in the United States is obvious.
 It is said authoritatively that the Lexington exhibit this year will sur pass any of its previous displays in point of attractiveness and originality The company officials, however, refuse to give out any. details at this early date concerning what the exhibit will comprise.
 we feel says Frank B. Ansted. president of the company that this enviable recognition of Lexington lea dership properly inaugurates what we are confident will be the most success ful season in all of LeXington's ten years of success"

SCHWAB TELLS HOW
 SUCCESS CAN COME

In his book. Succeeding With What You Have" Charles M. Schwab says
 When I took charge of the Carnegie works at Homestead there was a young chap employed there as water boy. A little later he became a clerk. had a habit of going over the work at un- usual hours, to see how everything was moving. I noticed that no matter what time I came around I would find the former water boy hard at work. never learned when he slept.
 Now, there seemed to be nothing re- markable about this fellow except his industry. The only way in which he attracted attention was by working longer hours and getting better results than anyone else. It was not long be- fore we needed an assistant superin- tendent. The eX-water boy got the job. When We established our great amor plate department there was not the slightest difference of opinion among the partners as to who should he manager. IL was the youth with the penchant fer overtime service.
 Today that eX-water boy, Ava C. Dinkey, is head of a great steel com pttly ana very wealthy. Ills rise was predicted on his Willingness to work as lons as there was any work to be done.
 If a young man entering industry were to ask me for advice I would say: Don't De afraid of imperiling your health by giving a few extra hours to the company that pays you your salary. Don't be reluctant about putting on overalls. Bare hands grip success bet ter than kid gloves. Be thorough in all things, no matter how small or dis tasteful The man who counts his hours and kicks about his salary is a self elected failure.
 It may be in seemingly unimportant things that man expresses his pas sion for perfection. yet they will count heavily in the long run. When you go into your customary barber shop you will wait for the man who gives you a little better shave, a little trimmer haircut Business leaders are looking for the same things in their offices that yeu look for in the barber shop.
 The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others. Many business men fail in this because they are thinking only of personal glory"

the proper level by adding the plain water
 On the other hand, if any of the liquid has been spilled or has leaked out of the jars in any way. acid has also been lost, so that in replenishing it will be necessary to add acid and water in proper amounts, that is to say with specific gravity of 1S0 r.
 Whenever the owner opens his bat tery to refill the cells with water, he should test the electrolyte with an in strument called a hydrometer syringe. This is a large glass cylinder with a rubber bulb at one end and small graduated cylinder inside. By means of the rubber bulb a quantity of the liquid is drawn up into the cylinder, the small graduated cylinder floats in this and by it's depth indicates the specific gravity of the fluid. If this is 1.28 to 1.30, or whereabouts, the battery is fully charged: if it falls to 1.15 the battery is discharged and should be rechareed at once.
 The modern car strives to remove much of the work Of caring for the battery from the shoulders of the own CT A generator is installed to re- charge the battery as the car runs. This is q great convenience, but it may also be incorrectly adjusted and overcharge or undercharge. The driver will have 10 find out what late of recharging is demanded by his particular form of service and have the charging rate set to meet that condition. Also remember that even though the generator may be perfectly attuned to the needs of the operator, keeping the battery perfectly charged all the time, it will not put water in the cells. The car owner must do that with his own hands, if he wants to be sure the part is prop erly maintained.
 If the battery is kept properly charged there is no need to worry about the electrolyte freezing, as the acid prevents that occurrence until forty CT so degrees below zero is reached. When d persistent breakage of cells occurs it may be set down to an improper mounting of the battery. The clamps holding the part in place should be frightened occasionally If the battery discharges with undue ra- pidity, short circuits should be looked Tor and the wiring system should be inspected at intervals for this trouble. The terminals must be kept clsln and bright and il is well to grease them oc- caSionally to prevent rust and cor 1USiun.

grinding is made a harder task than it should be- because when the valves are removed the owner dismantles the rocker arm assembly. In most en- zines this is not necessary because the rocker arm can be disconnected from the vertical rod, pushed one side and the valve removed. In engines using cages this is particularly easy though most owners go to the trouble of dis mantling the rocker arm assembly. To push the rocker arm aside, use flat wrench with pair of pliers at one jaw to twist with.
 Water in the Crankcase
 This is the time of the year when water condensation in the crankcase is a serious matter The more cylinders the engine has the worse the situation. Water, a product of combustion makes it's way past the piston rings into the crankcase where it interiors with lu- brication. In the warmer weather the water in the form of steam may blow out of the breather, but when the crankcase is famed Dy q cold breeze, the steam condenses into water which contaminates the oil. The remedy of course lies in draining the oil about every four weeks and Altering it. In some eight and twelve cylinder en- zines more than a pint of water may be removed under certain conditions,

TEXAS HOLDS LEAD
 IN AGRICULTURE
lPhiladelphia Inquirer.l

We do not usually think of the agrl- culture of Pennsylvania as very re- 1narkable but official statistics just issued show that it ran seventh in the whole country while New York IS eighth. The total yield of farms in this state is given at almost exactly $500, ,00O, 900, or about $40 per capita.
 Once more Texas takes the lead, but this is almost exclusively because Of cotton, and Texas is enormously larger than Pennsylvania. Iowa comes sec ond. and her standing is the more re- markable because she grows no cotton, no tobacco to speak of, but prlnclpaliy grains. Iowa is not a large state com pared with some, but is more gen. erally cultivated than any other. A curious fact is that her farms con stantly decrease in number although the acreage under the blow increases. Farmers are making so much money that they try to buy up all adjoining land.
 Illinois is third and well below Iowa in output; Nebraska comes next, then Georgia. with her great cotton output, while Kansas is sixth, and just above Pennsylvania. We think most people will be surprised to know that Ne braska produces more than Kansas, while Oklahoma, which has grown so rapidly in the last few years, is only eighteenth in rank.
 It is an interesting fact that east of the Rocky Mountains agriculture Is fairly well distributed, taking into con- sideration the varying areas of the states. California shows up well be- cause of her immense fruit and grain cropS New England appears to be tagging, but all New England is less
