HAND-PAINTED CANDLES

~ NE OF THE absurd American
E customs at which our English
cousins must smile when they
w visit our pretentious American
houses are candles that are never
burned--and never intended to be
burned. In England and on the con-
tinent n candle Is q candle-not an
ornament. 1t has a very decided use
just as frying pan has, or a foot
stool, or any other inconspicuous utili-
tartan article in the house. Nobody,
in England, makes a fuss about can
dles-except perhaps the American,
who finds them charged on his bill for
lodgings.
In America, however, the candle,
instead of being a household drudge.
Is elevated to the position of house
hold god; It Is one Of the Lares ct
Penantes. Instead Of buying her cam
dies by the pound, or even by the
dozen, the American housewife selects
them carefully--like vases or bric-a-
brac-considering each in its relation
to the room it is to adorn. In the liv-
ing-room will be mahogany candle

lar and a half for a single hank; and
sweaters keep on taking more and
more worstcd. Pockets are larger, so
are collars, band trimmings are knit
with double strands and fine needles
to give a richer effect, and sashes are
as wide as scarves. Every knitter
knows the tendency Of a sweater sash
to grow long and attenuated; a five

Will become a three-inch-wide four
yard long sash in no time at all: and
the only thing to do is TO knit ones
sash about twice as wide as it is in

All this takes worsted a-plenty and
the really pleasing colors are, OF
course, the most expensive ones. A
good way to ecOnomize is to buy your
yarn in an unpopu lar shade and then
have the whole sweater dyed when

 FRANKLIN POLICY

By the use of automatic devices in construction the automobile Industry has attained the highest development
 in manufacturing, and its product, the
 automobile, represents a product
 evolved through the use of specialized
 machinery of the most advanced type.
 In the Franklin automobile factory
 at Syracuse, N Y, where the well
 known air-cooler car is made, there
 are many fine instruments and spe- cial machinery, which do humanly im- possible things and always create ex- traordinary interest on the part of the factory visitors.
 Take for instance, the multiple drills employed in drilling crank cases. These are great time-saving de- vices Until the installation of these machines, one and one-half hours were
 required to complete the job by single
 drills, while the work is now done l in a minute and a half.
 | The one-piece- -at-a-time method with hand shears was% the old way IT which the Franklin company former | ly cut out material for tops, side cur l tains, etc. Now it is done by an elec- l trically driven cutter that cuts from ! 26 to 100 pieces of material at time l depending on the thickness.
 1 The screw holes in the wood sil | are all drilled at once and to exactly l the same depth. The machine, which accurately locates all screw holes ant cuts the countersink at a very rapit rate, is one of the most interesting ] in the wood shop. Second only to thi: 1 is the ma gazine screw driver. whicf feeds the screws automatically ant
 drives them to a uniform depth along
 the whole length of the sill Even the tension of the spring clips i is regulated automatically by a nu i driver operated by compressed air 1 Thus it is impossible to draw up on' nut tighter than another and thereb, 1 put an uneven strain on the part. Int new Franklin may be seen at tht

 FIGURES ON ACCIDENTS
 The state highway commission of Massachusetts has recently is sued some very interesting fig ures on automobile accidents. Tine report is carefully compiled and is considered very nearly correct.
 1He report SHOWS that Ill q given number of accidents only 6 per cent of the drivers were not sober. Out of 265 selected cases 243 pedestrians and 22 others were killed and the pedestrian and the other highway user were found entirely to blame in 214 of the cases.
 In 433 cases examined and re- ported on the motor car was go- ing less than IS miles per hour, and in 21S was running less than 12.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-13

In 1915 there was one fatal ac- cident for every 3S1 registered motor vehicles. During the next year there was only one death to every 46S motor vehicles.
 The figures also so on further to show that where the total ac- cidents increased only per cent that the number of motor vehicles increased more than 37 per cent.
 Don't be too quick to always place the blame on the driver. He might be wrong-but you see the odds are against 1t.
 1918 PROSPECTS
 Speaking of the prospects for good automobile business in the south for the coming year? Why to predict that they will be the biggest in the history of the in- dustry would be like predicting the coming of the roses in June. the return of ice cream or the odor of cabbage.
 The south is bound to be the "livest" market of them all. The crops are bringing record prices: the soil is producing record crops, and the wages being paid, on the average, are higher than ever heretofore known.
 No one variety of cars will be favored this year so much as the trucks, vastly more important branch of the industry than it was last year. They are coming just as certain as babies continue to bawl at the theatres.
