FRosTINe BULBS AND LENSES

With practically every state enforc.
ing its headlight ordinance and with
frosted lenses being accepted by all
of them as being satisfactory, owners
will naturally be interested in a
cheap method of frosting. The garage
man may be interested in order to
be able to do this work when called
upon by owners. The following for
mula may be used for making frost
ing solution into which the bulb or
lens is immersed. To a mixture OF
"a ounces of ether and Is ounces of
benzine add two and one-quarter
ounces of \ sandarach and. .one-half
ounce OF mastic. The Ingredient may
be obtained at any good. drug shop.
If it is desired to use a coloring of
some sort it may be added. For a
large flat surface a brush may be
used but usually this makes the work
streaked. 1t always is best to i'm
merse the object to be coated. The
effect with the uncolored solution is
very much the same as that of ground
glass but it should be remembered
that the coating is not lasting.

WANT DATA ON OUR
ROADS IN BLUE BOOK

To meet the increasing demand for
information about the roads OF Ha
wall. the Automobile Blue Book Pub
fishing company OF Chicago is plan
ming to incorporate in its 1918 edition
OF the book. correct and detailed data
regarding the important automobile
routes throughout the island OF Ha-
wall" probably meaning the entire
group. A letter requesting this infor'
formation has been received by Fred
J. Halton, chairman CT the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, and says in
part:
We are having an increased num-
Der of inquiries pertaining to the
roads in your section of the country
and believe that the publishing of this
data in the Blue Book would result tc
our mutual benefit. We. Of course, dc
not expect to go into II very thor
oughly this year, but no doubt can, al
least. give the important details"
As far as is known. this is the first
big Blue Book published on the main
land which is giving information on
island roads. Motorists welcome the
movement as an indication that Ha-
wall will eventually be considered a
place where the tourist can come and
bring his automobile with him.

L0NELIEST SPOT ON EARTH
Tristan d'Aeunha Is a Tiny Oasis h Boundless Wilderness of
 Water.

It was thought that when. after Waterloo, Napoleon WAS sent to Sl. Helena, he had been assigned Co the loneliest spot on e0rth. As matter Of fact, St. Helena Is 1,490 mics near CT a continent than k Tristan d'Acunha. Many hundreds of miles of ocean lie between this island and its nearest nelghbor. Tristan d'Aeanha, in brief, is a tiny oasis in baundiess wilderness Of waters, proceed from it in which direction one will.
 It Is a rocky and eliffgirt isie with Il solitary mountain LOCO feet high rearing itself from the midst. Yet. on this lonely speek of rock and earth, there lives a community that seems to be quite happy in it's isolation from all the rest of the world. They are farmers, cattle raisers and shepherds. In the valleys Of the island are fer tile fields where potatoes mainly are grown. The food of the peop,e con sists for the most part Of beef, nut ton, fowls, potatoes and fish.

Cats ard Doos.

If any man knows why there should be tex on dogs and none oa cats, let him step forward and explain. Cats spread disease d thousand times worse than dogs. Cats climb trees and catch birds, while even bird dog will do no worse than point toward them. Cats bite as often as dogs and they scratch q great deal more frequently. A black cat crossing your path is bad luck, and you never give black dog second thought. There is no reason why dogs should be diseriminated against. If there is to be a law imposing tax on dogs, there should be an amendment that will include cats from the time their eyes are open until they give up the last of their nine liyes.-Columbus Republican.

dairy cattle are discriminated against for beef purposes is that the percen- tage of offal as compared to that of meat is so great that they are unproft- able as beef animals.
 In the West recently lot of steers were sold. some of them Shorthorns and others Holsteins. The Shorthorn steers sold for q little higher price than the Holsteins, with the exception of one. Now and then purebred Hol- stein is born that is red and white, and in this lot there was one such steer. This animal sold for as much as the Shorthorns. This indicates that there is discrimination in color in purchas- ing beef animals. If all the Helsteins had been red and white, they would have sold undoubtedly for as much in the market as the Shorthorns.

SLEEP AS THEY MARCH ALONG
Slumber as They Tramp Along Road.

Soldiers remember how they and their horses used to sleep as they marched along, Erasmus Wilson writes in the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. Strange as it may seem this was often the case. There seemed to be no trouble in performing the me chanlcal part of walking, but there was q tendency to wander off the road. For this reason sleeDers had to be gaided or led by someone who was awake.
 The time Kirby Smith chased Gen eral Nelson and his men from Lexing- ton, Ky. to Louisville, he didn't allow them a moment for rest, and what sleep they got was snatched as they marched The men were mostly new to the business, but even the old fellows had to succumb about the third nignt. At times it seemed that the whole line was asleep, but it moved right along.
 When General Jackson and his cav airy joined the retreating forces his men were nearly all asleep in the sad die, and not few of the horses were snoozIng as they went leisdreiy to the front. They seldom stumbled on Il smooth road, out if there happened to be halt they would SC head foremos. into the crowd, and waken up scared and confused.
 As soon as the first rays of dawn began streaking the horizon the sleepy, tired feeling that possessed the weary walkers would begin to disaB- pear. and Dy the time the dawn had faded into day the men were stepping cut quicker and stronger, the horses holding tEeir heads ap and ali hands looking out for something to eat. The effect was magical.

USING DlVISoRS IN TPaDF
Why the Efficiency Expert and the Fourflusher Got Two Weeks
 Notice.

The efficiency expert had reported in favor of firing Bnks and promoting links to the head of department of the great store As he was a renowned efficiency expert, paid great price for a few weeks work, the director of the store listened very attentiyely indeed to the recommendations
 Its this way explained the expert, according to the New York Sun "Binks never sends down more items for advertising than he knows we can give space to. He Is modest in his statements of fact, and very exact. There are hardly any complaints, but his stuff sells very slowly.
 "Jinks. on the other hand, is always down on the mat fighting for adyer- Using space. He sends down three times as many items as there is room to feature, and he knows it. He IS enthusiastic and his enthusiasm makes him everstate things occasionally. Sc he is up on the carpet when he isn't down on the mat. But he has great punch and sells stuff enormously. Di- yiding his sales by the number of com plaints, l find that the quotient of his efficiency is much higher than Binks'. That is one of our little meth ods you may not know about. In other words. links is a good man. He fourflushes q lot, but he is a hustler"
 The director of the store was man who had started as an errand boy. In all the years of his patient upward progress he had never known what it was to have punch" but he had known many men whose painstaking attention to business and whose mcd- est conformity to the needs of their fellows had enabled them to build up institutions as huge and solid as this store. He could not remember that he himself had ever fourilushed anybody or sacrificed the truth for the sake of attracting attention.
 So lie drew a check for the efficiency expert and gave links two weeks no tice of dismissal.
