shopping with her nephew. Her ideas
were as lavish as the most exacting
fairy godmother could have desired.
She bought filmy lingerie, silk hose,

After the box had been sent John
found himself in furry of impotence
to see Cinderella again, at the party.
He wondered what she had thought
when she received the box, how she
would look In the new clothes
She looked all that the fairy god

blue silk dress made her mysterious
eyes look blue, too, and the pale oval
Of her face was rosy with delight and
happiness and wonder and a great

Moreover, she danced well. John, who
danced with her most of the evening,

silent now that they were for the first

John was silent.
'I'm telling you this" she went on,

The measure of length known as the
furlong represents one-eighth of a
mile. Originally It was the length OF
the ancient acre in England, which
had definite form, being 40 rods In
length and four rods in breadth. On
the old English open or common field
system, each furrow plowed equaled in
length the acre. and the distance was
called furlong, that is, furrow-long, or
40 rods, or ego feet, equal to 22O
yards or one-elghth of a mile.

PERHAPS THIS |s WHY
 YOUR LETTER WAS DELAYED

PARIS, Aug. 26 (by maiD Every home" to the American soldiers in France are delayed or sent astray through lack of sufficient or correct addresses. In a large percentage of the cases the mail is finally delivered, but after days and weeks of delay.
 During the month of June 21 per cent of mail arriving in France for the army was either insufnciently or incorrectly addressed. More than 100.00o letters and thousands of sacks of paper mail were delayed in this way
 Instead of being rushed directly to their destination, these letters had to be forwarded to the central postoffice in the interior of France, where clerks went through directories of the eXpe- ditionary forces in an effort to ferret out the correct address This task is doubly difficult because of the dupli- cation of names in the army. For in stance there are 157 John Smiths, 105 Henry Browns. 94 James Wilson's. 52 Jacksons, and so on, according to sta tistics compiled by the postoffice de. partment. Eighty per cent of the fisaddressed June mail was merely ad- dressed Somewhere in France" or "A. F. F."
 The postoffice department advises persons writing to soldiers in France to include in the address the regi- ment and company number and If possible, the A. P. o. (army post office) number. The following form of address should be used to insure quickest delivery:
 Pvt John Smith
 Co. A, s5th Regiment Infantry
 American Expeditionary Forces A. P. o. No. (when known).
 Otherwise the mail is subject to in- definite delay. while the mail clerks are hunting for the correct address.

NEW DEVICE FOR HEADLIGHT
Mo+orIst With Can Of Paint Should
Be Able to Fix Lights to SUIT
Laws of Any State.

The Illinois law requiring the dilh
ming of headlights on approaching an
other vehicle does little more th;lh
make a formality of what has long
been custom. More drastic laws
in other states, however, bid fair TO
get the Chicago motorist into troupie
if he tours far afield without due prep
aration.
Many headlight devices have been
approved for use in these states, but
the simplest suggestion for comply
ing with the most of the varying regu'
lations seems to be that suggested by
Macy F. Deming, who framed the
law now In effect In New York.
Mr.. Deming says five minutes spent

GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER
Trouble May Be Caused by Leaky
Pump and Is Put Into Action
by Printing Feed Line.

In cars equipped with oil pressure
gauges and piston type Oil pump
the owner often is at a loss to know
why the gauge does not register, know
ing that there is sufficient Oil in the
engine. This trouble may be caused
by leaky pump. 1t may be put into
action in many cases by printing. In
doing this disconnect the oil line back
Of the gauge and while the engine is
running slowly squirt oil into the feed
line by means Of an Oil can. Continue
doing this until oil is sQuirted back
through the feed line, after which the
line should be connected.

USING GASOLINE IN WINTER
Average Car Shows Tendency p Con-
sumo More During Cold Weather
Than In Summer Months.

1t is the common experience Of mo-
florists that the average car shows a
marked tendency to use more gasoline
in winter weather than during the
warm months. A cold engine prevents
the proper IMPORTATION Of the fuel and
necessitates a very rich mixture. Cost
Of operation is thus excessive during
the starting and warming-up processes.
The problem is to shorten or eliminate
this period Of costly operation by heat
ing up the engine fast. as an engine
