10 you know that right now
UnA there are 100000 motor
vehicles In use, or one to
~ every twenty persons In
the United States?
N4lM4 In these cars twenty-five
IAMtAo million people, one-fourth
of the population, could be
transported 100 miles or more In n
single day. Only the first filling OF
gasoline would be needed for the jour
ney.
Before the war produced unheard-

people>had paid little attention to these
matters and had not analysed the USE
fulness of the automobile. The manu-
facturers themselves believed their
splendid sales organizations to have
been responsible for their marked sales
increases, when as matter of fact,
the motor car had come to fill de-
mand which had existed for centuries.
But now we have stopped to analyzc
the food we eat. the clothes we wear
and the time we can save.
How then does the automobile 1T
into this big plan? Who uses itf
There was only one way to find out
definitely and that was to ask the peO-
pie who owned and operated cars.
This was accomplished by getting an
expression from every man who pur-
chased one particular make of car In
1917, showing the occupation In which
he was engaged. This information has
been tabulated In classifcations by
trade to conform with the census fig
ures
Investigation Proves Usefulness.
The result of this investigation when
charted, showed some surprising facts.
The first one Is that this survey proved
that 80 per cent of automobile use is
for business purposes.
The next great fact, gained Mt a
glance, was that the men whose bust
ness depended upon covering n great
deal of ground I'm n short space of time
were its largest purchasers. While
these figures apply only to the 1917
production of one manufacturer OF
cars, we may safely assume that APP
proximately the same divisions by
trades are applicable to automobile
ownership In general. We have there
fore assumed that to be the case In
our conclusions.
Shall we expect to find automobiles
In the city alone?

their operatives. This branch repre-
sents total OF 270 per cent of the

shows only 10.1 per cent of the auto

Located In the cities, industry is not
so dependent upon the automobile, and
still every motor car In this great

the railroads, telephone and telegraph

They represent 80 per cent of the

this small percentage of car owners
II ut once apparent, as the bulk or
the business OF these men is over

Australia's Rainfall.

A committee of the British Associa-
tlon for the Advancement of Science
has recently collected samples Of rain
fall during period Of one year, at 10
stations scattered over the continent OF
Australia, and examined them quaint
tatively to determine their content or
nitric and nitrous nitrogen. About u
600 samples were examined and the re-
suits We're compared with the records
of the weather conditions under when
the rainfall occurred. The general con
clusions are that, for a given type or
weather, the concentration of oXidiZed
nitrogen in the rainfall varies inverse
ly as the amount Of rainfall. and that
the total amount Of OXidiZed nitrogen
unit area found in the rainfall accom-
panying a storm depends upon the
type of weather and Is practically in
dependent of the amount of rainfall
and that the total amount Of oXidized
nitrogen unit area found in the rain
fall accompanying storm depends up
on the type of weather and Is prnctic-
ally Independent of the amount Of rain
fall. The highest total amounts of oXi-
diZed nitrogen were found at southern

At last the Irish setter puppies had
had and their heads were so smooth
and soft. Their ears We're long and
their hair was of wonderful red
brown shade, long and also very soft.
They looked very much like their
mother only much, much smaller
They were tiny and they cared more
about sleep than anything else in the
world.
Adventures might be all right later
on, but for the present sleep was the
most glorious thing They would fall
over each other and any way they fell
they would go sound asleep. Such

bother them the mother let them alone.
my beautiful puppies" she said to
herself as she looked ut them. When
they nestled very close to her she look
ed out of the window of the tool room
I'm the barn where their home was for
the present and thought:
II wish could always keep my pup
pies safe in here and away from the
world and dangers"
Then she would look out of the win
dow again and once more down at her
puppies and she would think of the dog
for they were perfect, very perfect and
they were her own puppies!
But they seemed so safe and sleepy
now and she hated to think ahead Of
all the troubles that might come to
them. They might be sold to people
who didn't love and understand ami
mails, but she didn't think of that long,
for she knew her mistress would be
very, very careful-she loved the pup
pies too.
After time the puppies were almost
grown up and In little while after
there was great excitement. The pup
pies did not understand it, but the
mother did She had been to many
a dog show and how many prizes she
had won! She could never count them
for she really couldn't be bothered with
adding and such things-she wanted
to watch her beautiful grown-up pup
pies! For she could hardly believe
that they were no longer babies.
Were going to the show" she whiS-
pered to them, that Is what all the
excitement means. We're going to win
ribbons and prizes, my beautiful ones,
and our mistress will be so happy and
glad"
The next day they went-the whole
family of puppies and the mother.
The judges were looking at all the
dogs. This Irish setter family beats
them ALL" they said. And each grown
up puppy and the mother won prizes.
They received the best ribbons of all
and how delighted their mistress was,
to be sure.

PLANT TREES AND SHRUBBERY

II you are planning to plant orna-
mental trees and shrubs plant in
groups, always leaving an open space
for grass.
Cut-leaved birch is favorite tree
for planting on the home grounds. 1t
is pyramidal in shape, with dropping
branches.
The japanese naples are very beau
tiful small trees in bush form with
vivid coloring of cut leaves.
Many shrubs are more beautiful In
foliage than in flower and some OF
them carry their fruits through the
winter in bright colors.
In setting trees or shrubs make
hole wide enough so that the roots can
be spread out avoiding twisting and
crowding as much as possible. Work
the soil in about the roots, leaving no
space, and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such Il manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors. To Obstruct the outlook Is
very annoying to those confined tn the
house. Trees and shrubbery should be
placed SO as TO form Il background or
setting for the dweling.-E. V. B.
