a New Kind of
Motor Car Comfort

There is kind of motor car comfort that goes
beyond bodily ease.
1t embraces such essentials as performance SER
vice from the car, durability and economy.
1t is this kind of comfort all-inclusive- is
enjoyed by Hupmobile owners.
They have really unusual riding and driving ease
to begin with. But that is not ALL
Their cars habitually and consistently outpoint
other cars in performance. So consistently,
indeed, that mult-cylinder types actually hold
small interest for Hupmobile owners.
Service, to them, means only one thing-willing,
faithful service from the car itself
Added to these is the economy of exceptional
mileage on gasoline and tires; with practically no
repair expense from years end to another.
The Hupmobile owners loyalty to his car is
simply the natural result of the distinct advan-
tages which he enjoys

Pearl Divers Have No Thought for

During the Brief Fishing Season They
Make Much Money and Spend 1t
With the Most Reckless
Prodigality.

The Paumotu sometimes
called gold mines" of the eastern Pa

scene during the season for pearl fish
ing. From August on come the ma
uves from the surrounding islands to
dive for pearls in the calm waters of
the lagoon thrown open for the pur-
pose. Within the narrow strip of
sand which surrounds the fishing
ground are huddled 1900 or more, in
mushroom city, sheltered beneath
corrugated iron or matched huts. 1t
is motley company.
There are PaumOtu divers, bronzed
sea gods-who, with their ancestors
have been for ages masters of the

center of solicitude for the buyer and

of the moving picture man who has
hastily built his theater of corrugated

metropolitan prices. 1t is the diver
who spends his earnings riding in the
wheezy motorcar which the owner OPP
crates along a haif-mile of sandy
beach. 1t is his earnings which at

In his habits of spending his earn

the trader thoughtfully has provided.

Queer Turn of Eate,s Wheel.

An announcement on the cables
from Paris a few days ago showed
queer turn in the wheel of fate. 1t
said that James Hazen Hyde had been
made an assistant to Harvey d. Glib
son, with the American Red Cross in
Paris. Only few years ago Mr.. Hyde
was an outstanding figure in American
finance. and Mr. Gibson at the same
time was an express clerk earning less
than $50 a month. Mr.. Hyde was the
son of the founder of the Equitable
Life and Inherited his fathers vast
wealth. He was striking figure for
time. Then came the Hughes in
vestigation of the insurance business
and Mr.. Hyde fled to Paris, where he
became an ornament of the boulevard
cafes. Mr.. Gibson in the meanwhile
had gone steadily upward, became
very wealthy, and because of his bust
ness ability was selected by Henry P.
Dawson to become general manager of
the American Red Cross. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hyde Is no longer the social
butterfly he became after landing in
Paris, and may again rise to great
heights.

Stories with unhappy endings are

How Popular Song Was Written

1.-THE Old Oaken Bucket" was writ
ten early in the nineteenth century in
the summer of 1877. At the time the
composer was living with his family in
New York city. The song was called
forth through the writer's thinking of
the old well on the family homestead
In Massachusetts, where he was born
in 1885. Samuel Woodwork, at the
time Of it's composition, was conduct
ing a New York newspaper. One hot
day he came home from his office and
pouring out a glass of water drained
it eagerly. As he placed the glass up
on the table he said: "That is refresh
ing, but how much more so would 1t
be to take a good long draft from the
old oaken bucket left hanging in my
fathers well at home"

YNDER policy of "Home Rule"
for all component parts of the

I NDER policy of Home Rule
for all component parts of the
Liberty Loan Committee, John
II. Mason, Director of the War Loan
Organization, predicts that the Vic
tory Liberty Loan will be oversub-
scribed in the Third Federal Reserve
District.
Philadelphia is the center of the
Third Federal Reserve District, which
includes Pennsylvania east of Johns
town; New Jersey, south of Trenton,
and Delaware. Letters are being sent
to all Liberty Loan chairmen in towns
in this district asking them to ar
range for a meeting of workers to be
addressed by representatives of the
headquarters.
Mr.. Mason announced, however, that
chairmen in various localities win be
helped and advised by the parent
committee, but that no one would
be required to adopt any measure not
thought advisable by the authorities
in that particular locality.
Plans are now being completed to
have a representative from Philadel-
phia visit all sections of the District,
and help the local committees in their
campaign. Mr.. Mason announced that
he expects to make speaking tour
himself through the district in the
near future.
Il do not feel that we in Philadel-
phia have done enough in the past to
help our fellow-workers throughout
the district" he said "Our problems
and theirs are not identical, and the
only way we can help them is to have
a representative study their prob
lens at close range"

why He Wanted Arm STRAIGHT

A Canadian officer wounded early
in the war, was sent to one of the in
stitutions to have his left arm made
over. The elbow had been so badly
shattered that surgery, wonderful as
its skill and resources are, could not
entirely reconstruct the joint. So the
officer was given a choice of two
things-either to have a weak, NOV
able elbow, or a strong stiff one.
Without hesitation the Canadian
chose the stiff elbow, and he aston.
ished the surgeons by asking that the
arm be made perfectly straight.
They pointed out to him that the
arm would be far more useful If the
elbow was set at an angle. If set
straight he wouldn't be able even to
put his hand in the pocket of his trou-
sers. But the Canadian had antici.
.pated that argument by arranging
with his tailor to have the pocket SO
low that by launching his shoulder he
could get his hand into it. The rea'
son he wanted the arm made rlgidly
straight was to be able to use hunt
ing rifle and billiard cue.

DISEASE and COAL
Scientific Discoveries Establish a
Connection.
World Declared to Have Been Free
From Physical Ills Before the
Beds That Supply Fuel
Were Laid Down.
By Aa Carter

One of the most curious of discus
sions has been started by Prof Roy L.
Noodle, scientist of high reputation,
who has made special study of the
beginning of disease. Once upon a
time, he says, there was no such thing
as disease in either animals or plants.
But 1t was very long while ago. His
inquiries led him to the conclusion
that diseases began in the coal-form-
Ing period, when the vast deposits of
our fossil fuel were laid down in peaty
Dogs from the luxuriant vegetation of
regions then tropical-in Pennsyl-
I vania, along the southern Alleghenies
and elsewhere.
In those very ancient times, ever so
many millions of years ago, the earth
was covered with water far more ex-
tensively than at present, and on the
bottom grew fields of "sea lilies"-just
as they do today in marine shadows.
They are oddly initiative of plants,
though really animals, and fossil re-
mains of them found in coal show en-
largementS of the stems plainly due to
attack by parasite worms. During the
coal period there seems to have been
an extensive development of those
forms of microscopic vegetation that
we call fungi and bacteria. Nearly all
plant diseases are due to attack by
parasitic fungi. Most diseases of men
and animals are attributable to bac-
terra of one species or another that
hob Of ct
Minute bacteria and fungi-traces Of
their colonies, that is to say-have
been found in the fossil droppings Of
extinct species of fishes, embalmed, as
one might say, in our coal deposits. In
plant structures of corresponding an
tiquity are discovered natural "cul-
lures" Of bacteria, silicified.
The fossil teeth of long extinct spe-
cies of fishes have been found affected
by dental caries"-irregular decayed
spots Are we to suppose that those
fnny creatures of early days suffered
from toothache? Twenty or thirty
millions of years ago arrived the age
of reptiles, which developed the giant
lizards, that were the largest animals
ever known in the world, if some mod
ern whales be excepted. Some of their
bones preserved in the rocksl show
deformities obviously due to disease.
Certain of these deformities suggest
chronic Inflammation of the joints;
others, tuberculosis. After the age of
reptiles came the early mammals. They
and their descendants Qncluding our
selves) have certainly had due al
lowance of disease ever since. But
(if Professor Noodles dictum is to be
accepted) there was no such thing as
disease in the world up to the time
when the coal beds were laid down

Il have but one request to make
and that is to bespeak for the Fifth
Loan the hearty cooperation of every
man and woman who worked so splen-
didly in the campaign last autumn fol
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
81 think we all fully realize that we
still have great task before us-the
task of raising the additional money
to meet the expenses of the war which
have been incurred by the government,
armies to American soil, together with
their rehabilitation and civil rehabili-
tation. The Victory Loan will give us
the opportunity to finish the job in a
true American way and l feel that I'M
til this is done our duty to our splen-
did heroes, as well as to our country,
will not have been performed
May l take this public way of
stating that those who will be in
charge of the forthcoming campaign
will need the assistance of every
worker who took part in the last
loan and many more in addition
feel perfectly confident that we can
count on their loyal patriotic support. -
The personnel Of the Executive
Committee is the same as in the
Fourth Liberty Loan, as follows: E.
Pussy PassmOre, Chairman Walter
c. Janney, Horatio G. Lloyd, John H.
Mason, Mrs. Henry d. Jump, George
WHARTON, Pepper, Joseph Wayne, Jr.,
and Lewis Parsons
George K. Reilly, of the Advisory
Committee for the State of Pennsyl-
vania in the Fourth Loan, was forced
to retire on account of ill-health, and
the press of personal business. His
resignation was accepted, and E. Nc
Lain Waters, director of the War
Savings Committee, was appointed in
his place. The other members of the
Advisory Committee for the States are
Philemon Dickinson, for New Jersey,
and Lewis L. Mann for Delaware.
