was found at his desk recently, deeply
absorbed in the pcrlsal OF slip. OF press
stuff headed in big type, "a real thriller,
this secret story of first eight" and In
moment of rashness Every Evening
agreed to print it, making mental
reservation, of course, eff it is news.
The headlines were interesting but
the date line proved to be 1914, which
was long time ago. The story OF the
designing Of this motor is one of making
plans and patterns at widely separated
places and surrounded with secrecy OF all
sorts, but it is all so well known now In
its working shape and has SO firmly es-
tablished IFS place in the realm of motor
dom that the promise is hereby Withdrawn
and the slip will be returned, when Mr..
Freck is not so busy and will consent tn
give us an equivalent amount OF his own
views of "the Cadillac as factor in

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties OF so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less flattened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma she'll, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls Of
golden luster are secured from n small
avicula that has beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
Is usually less than six centimeters In
diameter, and 1 have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

Barrier to Sight of Stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept
ance is that In the void of interstellar
space there is substance which wells
from our view the stars beyond a ces-
tain limit of distance. Consisting pre-
sumably of microscopic and widely
scattered particles, it nevertheless
makes barrier to vision when dis
tances are sufficiently great.
In other words, if we were far
enough away from the sun there would
be enough of these particles between
ourselves and that luminary to render
it invisible to US.
DR.. c. G. Abbott of the Smithsonian
institution, said that the estimated
density of this substance" is one trii-
lionth of that of the air we breathe.
Pretty thin, one might say. And yet
sphere Tin space) whose radius was
the distance from the earth to the star
nearest to our solar system would con-
tain quantity of the substances equal
to LOCO times the mass of the SUI.

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
From Earliest Ages Man Has Sought
Methods of transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat in
the form of float and our earliest and
simplest conception is a man astride
log, propelling it by hand and foot.
The idea of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius of mans
mind, and we find him developing vari-
Gus modes of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
of natures own construction, simply
u fOrked tree limb.
This gradually developed into a more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel was the simple roller made
from tree trunk, afterward differen-
tiated into a pair of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion of
the cylinder in such a manner as to
leave the center of the trunk as a
rotating axle.
The next step was the substitution
of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to a rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later a considerable ad-
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to that which
may today be seen in the remote~dis.
tricts of Mexico, is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps we find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds of the mechanics of that period,
in the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

USE MOVIES TO TEST EYES
If Pictures That Are Properly Focused
Hurt, 1t Is Always Well TO
Consult an Oculist.

You can use the movies TO test your
eyes. If your optical organs are cor
rect and normal you can go to the
shadow theaters as much as you want
without fear Of harming the delicate
mechanism of your eyes.
But if you see well-operated pic
lures where the focusing is properly
done, and find that your eyes hurt

movies, says DR.. c. A. Balm, writing
on the annals of ophthalmolOgy.
There is no surer way to inform
yourself of optical defects. The nor
NAL eye accommodates itself readily
to the fitting films of high grade,
while the subnormal eye makes its
complaint very apparent after steady
focusing upon pictures.
persons with no defect of sight
mechanism should be able TO enjoy at
the very least four sittings of from
one and one-half to two hours dura-
ton each per week without discom-

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was a shortage of 176,000,000
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of go per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation And starvation means de-
