Steam Driven Automobile Will
Be Put on Market

Hammond, La, April -. Much
interest lis being taken in the pro-
missed demonstration of the latest
invention i'll automobiles by the
Richard Carter Co Inc. 1t is pro-
missed TO place on exhibition, a
multiple piston eugene propelled
truck. This is the result of an in
vcntion on which DIR. A. K. Car
ter. of Hammond, has been work
ing for the last three years, and on
the formation Of Sl,000,00O
stock company. year ago, to de-
velop his idea.
Conceiving the idea of steam
driven automobiles, trucks and
tractors DIR. Carter worked on the
theory of the elimination of all
complicated machinery as far as
possible in the construction of au-
tomobiles and after diligent re-
search found that not only a gear
less car could be made, but one
without ditferential. Thus was
the power applied direct, right
near the point of traction and di-
rectly i'll line with the load. So
with a modern steaming plant I'M
der the hood, a condensing radia-
tor mounted upon the front end of
the frame, and a pair of little null
tlple piston engines attached to a
rear wheel substitution for the
complicated gasoline driven ma
chine was evolved. This mechan-
ism does away with carburetors,
spark plugs, motor clutch and
many other parts which are very
easily put out of commission
1t is claimed for the new inven
ton that it can be operated with a
seventy-hye per cent reduction i'll
:. upkeep, to say nothing of a fifty
per cent saving in fuel, the life of
the tires doubled by the elimina-
ton of clutches, and the very great
reduction of vibration and fric.
ton. The Company has already
let out contracts for the various
parts for the construction of two
passenger roadsters, five passenger
touring cars and one ton motor
trucks, which will comprise the
scope of the company's operation
for the first year. The finished
vehicle will be assembled in Ham.
mond, and President Carter states
thai he will be putting cars on the
market within ninety days.

MUST BE BORN A SINGER
Certain Formation of Throat and Nos
tris Imperative for Utterance
of Sweet Sounds.

According to recent scientific dis
cOveries, singing birds, like human
singers, must have a certain type of
throat and nOstrils. A full throat, large
thorax, open nOstrils and slightly pro-
truding lips with good length from the
point OF the nose to the point of the
chin and full cheeks are, say the scien-
lists, positive signs in a human being
OF the power to give forth tone.
If the ears are round and well set to
the head it is a sign not only Of the
power to sing, but to appreciate, and
the combination means the great artist.
With feathered songsters much the
same rules hold good. The round,
somewhat pointed beak Of the canary
opens wide and his thorax and throat
are exceedingly big for so tiny bird,
according to the Philadelphia North
American. He can hear and appreciate
the smallest sound and his trills and
the beauty of his tone are due to his
throat, to the rOundnesS Of his head
and the shape of his bill.
The duck, on the other hand, having
flat bill and small throat can only
quack. Even If he lOnged to sing he
could not acquire any pleasant notes.
and it is the same way with some peo-
pie. The most careful training cannot
give the sound box which nature pro-
vides for those to whom she gives the
great gift of vocal powers.

May Mean War on Rats.

There is not enough leather to 90
round. Fish skins are susceptible TO
tanning, and there Are rat skins which
make good leather, large enough for
many purposes. They would do for
some kinds of gloves and mittens, saws
the Little Journal. They may be sewed
together to make cloaks and other gar
ments, and they are not too small to be
available for parts of boots and shoes.
The general rule as to leather is that
the thicker the fur is the poorer the
hide, and vice versa According to this,
rat hide would produce superior
leather
Somebody with the gift of guessing
computes that there are 100000 900
rats in this country, and the damage
they do would feed good-sized army.
1t would take at least 5000 skins a day
to supply small modern tannery. No
body wants the rats; they belong to
anybody that can catch them. That is
the only problem-to catch them and
skin them, and then deliver the goods.

London and the Birds

After the news from Strassburg that
the storks have returned with the end
of the war to the old Alsatian city, and
are to be seen daily, as in time past,
pluming themselves in the Place de
Broglie, comes the news from London
that one Of the unusual features of this
first spring after the war is the pres
ence of the beautiful larger birds in
the English capital. So writes CORE
spondent of the Observer, of London.
"On the fringes," he says, "kestrels are
now quite common, and in many places
you may see their wonderful flight.
The handsome jays betray their pres
ence in many wooded gardens that
knew them not, by their screech, or
the white flash of their wings; SPAR
rOw-hawks and carriOn crows are COM
ing to be common; and even the mag
pie has been seen where for years he
has been unknown" And now that
they have come, no doubt some way
will be found Of so convincing them Of
their welcome that they will come
again.

CLAIM DESCENT FROM cELTs
Writer Asserts Scotsmen Are 4 Unit
in Denying Stories Of Their
Saxon Origin.

1t was that deadly flower Of Saxon
chivalry, Edward /, who caused the
early records of Scotland TO be de-
stroyed. Fortunately, the Irish Celtic
annalistS' writings remain, and as his
torians none were more competent or
able to form an impartial judgment of
Scotland's early history than they were.
Nowhere in their annals do they make
the slightest mention of the silly
theory Of the Saxon origin Of the peo-
pie of southern or eastern Scotland,
and they also know nothing Of the
Lowlanders. Hector Boece is also 81
lent on the supposed Saxon descent OF
the Lowlander and the expulsion of
the Celt. Instead he says we who have
our abode on the confines of England,
through MUCH commercial intercourse
and wars, have learned the Saxon
speech, and have fOrsaken our own.
Our place names prove the essential
Celticity of Scotland, as the Celtic

VICTORIAN ERA WORTH WHILE
Deserved Rebuke for Those Who Smile
at Epoch Which Had Many
Good Points

Why do the heather rage against the
Victorian epoch? Men who lived
through great part of it found it
exciting, interesting, amusing and
sometimes terrible Talleyrand once
said that nobody could understand the
real delights of society unless he had
lived before the French revolution.
Similarly, what young person, or near
young person, of today can experience
the delights of the time when it was
possible to begin at ease the first chap
ter of volume of Dickens or Thack-
cray, to wait impatiently for George
Eliot's new novel or even to bear the
shock Of Robert Buchanan's famous
review of Swinburne? There were. too.
the terrors occasioned by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe when her fierce Puritan
friendship induced her to print the
condolences Of Lady Byron! Our eyes
were turned towards England, it is
true, yet Hawthorne and Emerson were
not only discussed, but read. Among
the lesser lights there were Gail Ham
ilton and James Fields, whose very
satisfying literary essays were great
features Of the Atlantic Monthly.
People really did not spend their time
in singing "Juanita" or in reading
"Ouida" on the sly, nor did all the
women dress in the magentas and SOL
ferinos in which contemporary satirists
clothed the ladies Of the middle periods
of Victoria and Eugene. The Crimean
and Civil wars, so microscopic to the
careless young, the Franco-Prussian
struggle which preluded the chaos Of
1914, were events that kept our minds
from stagnating; and there were doors
and thinkers in Europe worth our con-
slant Observation-Disclosures Francis

A scheme to change the entire sys-

affairs was under discussion late this
afternoon at the final session of the

will probably be adopted will be con-
stitutional amendment by which the
association will elect it's officers by

sors. will allow the teacher In the
most remote district to express q pref
erence ON the associations officials,
instead OF leaving tho selection Of Of
ficers to the few hundred who are able
to attend the annual meeting.
DISTRICT MEETINGS.
In addition to the annual meeting.
under the proposed new plan, sub
meetings will be held in each institute
district, and these suborganiza tions
will further distribute the benefits OF
the reorganized association.
This evening at 8 o'clock the high
school superintendent and principals
attending the convention will hold a
conference at the office OF DIR. II A.,

ton, on technical problems.
