OIL TO BE KING IN FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown In War as Well as In In
dustriaI and Domestic Life.

The European war is without a
doubt doing more to direct general at
tention to the claims of oil and its null
titudiness products than any amount
Of advertising IL normal times could
have accomplished, says a writer in
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum In up-to-date war
fare is no less than in either the indus
trial circles or In domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did, but
that particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and sue
cessfully SOTO engage in the produc-
ton, the refining, the transport or the
distribution of petroleum products.
There Is, in short, no mistaking the
fact that in the future oil will be king.

Clock pIaIs for Summer.

Instead of moving the hands of the
clock forward and back at the time of
changing from standard to summer
time, and vice versa. plan recently
proposed in England is to have clocks
provided with an adjustable dial. The
circular disk of the dial would be put
in place by screws in curved slots. and
the dial would be rotated through one
hour space at the time of making the
change, leaving the hands untouched.
1t is claimed that this plan is especial
ly desirable in the case Of striking
clocks, the hands of which cannot be
moved back. The position of the dial
would also indicate whether the clock
was keeping summer or normal time.
The objection to this procedure, of
course, is that practically everybody
tells time from position of the hands,
without any attention to the figures on
the dial.

Here is an incident that q man tells
as having occurred in a Kansas town.
He was in a ticket Office and watched
the proceedings. A man came to the

The man dug into well worn peck

"How soon does this train go?" he
inquired.
SIN Is minutes" replied the agent.
The man hurried away. Soon he was
back with three silver dollars, with
which he bought ticket.

ct seller, "but how did you get the
money? 1t isn't loan, for see you
have disposed of the 81 BILL"

Wall street is the most popular in
strument we have for running heroes
quickly or elevating them to sudden
wealth.
In many films the street" is intro
duced in some way or another either
to Increase the fortunes of the lucky
hero or to encompass the ruin of the
village bank cashier. The habitue Of
the street is always represented as
wearing a luxurious fur-llned coat and
silk hat. For some fancied insult or
family quarrel. one broker will deter
mine on the ruin of another. Brokers
are always deadly enemies of each
other in the picture, and when engaged
in running" some enemy are always
shown in their shirt sleeves with a

nLaIIah Rookhn Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh," the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
Just century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote 1t was such
that he was able to sell 1t when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for it, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, stipulating
that the price should be "not less than
the largest amount ever paid for a
poem" ''That." said Longman, "was
the $4,000 paid for Rokeby,'" and on
that basis a bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
Scott's in length. Even so. Longman
had the best of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within year,
and a quarter of a century later Long
mans still regarded "Lallah Rookh" as
''the cream of copyrights. "-Manches-

SHRINE OF THE aH0LY COAT"
Cathedral at Treves Contains One OF
Most jealousy Guarded Relics
Of the Roman Church.

At intervals of many years the old
Prince Bishopric Of Treves, wakens out
of its half-slumbering condition and
becomes the center of great pilgrim
age. Besides its numerous Roman re-
mains. this quiet old town. claiming TO
be 1900 years older than Rome, is the
shrine Of the asHoly Coat" one of the
most jealousy guarded relics In the
possession of the Roman church.
The citizens of Treyes are very
proud of this seamless garment, and
they have given 1t prominent place
on their coat-of-arms, says the Dundee
Advertiser. II was not until 1196 that
the Holy Coat" was placed over the
high altar. but it was not exposed to
the public gaze for some three hundred
years afterward. II was kept in a Sc
cret place of the cathedral known only
TO a few. and there were many who
doubted its existence. A guide book
of 1914 says:
"The existence of the relic at pres
ent is rather doubtful-at least, 1t is
not visible. The attendants of the
church say 1t is walled up" All doubts
were removed in 1874. when Archbish-
op Arnold announced a centenary
jubilee, at which 1t was exhibited to
million and half of pilgrims from all
parts of the world. The coat is loose
garment with wide sleeves, very SIM
pie In form, of coarse material. dark
brown in color. probably as the result
of age. and entirely without seam or
decoration.

Why our Eyes Sparkle.

If you should watch very closely the
eyes of merry person when you see
them sparkle, you would probably no
tice that the eyelids move up and
down more often under such condi-
tons than ordinarily and If you know
what moving the eyelids UP and down
in front of the pupil Of the eye does
you will have your answer, says the
Book of Wonders.
Every time the eyeIid comes down
Ii releases a little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. 1t does this every tine
the eyelId comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which
has. the effect of making the eyessds
dance up and down, and thus every
time the lid comes down the ball Of
the eye is washed clean and bright
and gives it the appearance Of spark
ling. as we say.-Brooklyn Eagle.

charming photoplay furnishing the d.
minutive star with more than ordi-

ton appears as a rebellious niece of
old Miguel Alvarez, living with his
family near the Riu Grande In Mexico.
The old uncle is a miser and q tyrant
and attempts to force her to marry his
weakling son in order to bring her
money into his own Golfers Justina,
,, however, has the American love of
liberty inherited from her mother who
was New Highlander, and on the very
eve Of her wedding, runs away on the
donkey of the priest who had been
summoned to marry her. Her adven-
lures from this point form q sequence
of events both humorous and dramatic
that hold the onlooker breathless.
How she stumbles right onto the SEN
try of United States Army camp
and how her donkey betrays her pres
ence by vigorously braying. how the
soldiers help her make her way to her
mothers sister in New England and
what happens when she gets there is
all told with all the charm and
piquancy which only Ann Pennington
could give it. As boy scout Miss
Pennington completely subjugated

tiers, members of that organization
who were called in to add ''local
color" and incidentally instruct the
little star in the gentle art of wig
wagging and other scout mysteries.

Australia, and the demand is acute, ac-

these goods In Australia. Recently
