IN AMERICAN CARS
Many Mechanical improve

French and English.

London and Paris not only ell us
what we should wear TO be in fash
ion. but the automobile engineers Of
England and France have exerted
an influence on the motor modes in
this country.
Americas gargantuan demands
for automobiles, in fact. have hind
cred the Independent development Of
our motor cars. with the result that
we have borrowed from the English
and the French many mechanical
Improvements.
This statement is in accordance
with the views OF d. Mccall White,
designer of the eight-cylinder Cadil-
lac.
In America, we have been too

The first six-cylinder car, for ex-

Sunbeam in England. Back in 1906
they were experimenting with high

RECIP ROCITY ON

OBJECT Of BILL
"0pen Door" in Registration
Between States and For
eign Nation is Sought.

WASHINGTON. Nov. I'm
limited automobile reciprocity
among the several states and the
District OF Colum bia soon will re-
ceiye the attention OF congress. as
several bills on the subject have
been introduced in both branches
and have found place on the dOckets
OF the interstate commerce commit
tees.
In the house its committee pass
es upon both interstate and foreign
commerce, and because OF this fact
the reciprocity measure just intro
duced by Rep. Burton =. Sweet Of
Iowa best meets the general needs
OF the situation. This bill has the
endorsement OF the American Au-
tomobfle association, which for a
period OF years has been seeking
from congress the "open door" in
registration reciprocity.
Not only does Mr.. Sweets draft
provide for unlimited recognition
OF registration numbers through
out the United States. but It also
authorizes the secretary Of state 10
arrange with foreign nations so that
any American going abroad can be
equipped with a registration tag on
which ~. s." will be substituted
for the name Of his state and in
consequence be acceptable in all

NEW FEDERAL MOVING
TRUCK is COMM0DIOUS

Moving by truck from city 10 city
has become so common. and this
new trucking business has grown so
tremendously that new and more
complete equipment is demanded
every day. One Of the most COM
plete moving van trucks that prob
ably has ever been manufactured
was made recently by the Federal
Motor Truck Co. Of Detroit, Mich.
This truck which is owned and
designed by T. r. Cathcart OF At

its size ever manufactured. 1t Is

VAST INCREASE IN
JlTNEY TRAFFIC CAUSES
BIG TIRE DEMAND

The vast increase in jitney traffic
throughout the country is another
reason for the tremendous demand
for tires that keeps Akron manufac-
turers working day and night in
vain endeavor to catch up with
the orders that are rolling In, ac-
cording TO advices from that city.
The advantages Of the motor We
hicle have been just as impressively
demonstrated in connection with
public service transportation as in
the case of countless other lines of
business, IL is pointed out. All Of
which is decidedly interesting when
it is recalled that only a short time

Europe must also be credited
with the lengthening OF the piston
stroke and the reduction OF the CYL
inder bore. and for the origination,
as well. of such equipment, now ac-
cepted as standard in America, as
wire wheels and cord tires.
When I make such statements, 1
have no intention OF describing the
experts who are responsible for the
design and development of the
American motor car. They have
done much in making the automo-
bile the efficient mechanism that
Il is today. Moreover. their adop-
ton of European principles was not
only ethical but wise. 1t is also true
that they have been handicapped IN
their science by the tremendous

Forming Artificial Pearls

Pearls were valuable as gems In
China as early as twenty-five centuries
before our era, and the Chinese had
worked out a plan for the artificial
formation Of pearls about 700 years
ago, which they have carried on ex-
tensiyely. Large numbers of oysters
are collected and the shell gently open
ed to allow the introduction Of vari-
Gus foreign substances which are in
serted by means Of a forked bamboo
stick. These pellets are generally
made Of prepared mud, but may be
bone, brass or wood. The oysters are
then placed In shallow ponds connect
ed with canals and are nourished by
tubs Of night soil thrown In from time
to time.
Some time later, from several
months to two years. depending upon
the size Of the gem desired. these oys-
tiers are taken out Of the shell. the
pearls removed and the body Of the
animal eaten as food. Millions Of such
pearls are sold annually in China The
most valuable are either round or pear
shaped.

SHOW SPIRIT or FAIRNESS

have frequently said the writers In
England are superior to ours, part1cu-
larry as to fairness and conservatism
The other day ran across a review
article criticising the general igno-
rance Of the people about old and clas-
steal things. After proving his point
cleverly and effectually the writer pro-
ceeded to examine himself. He turned
20 the encyclopedia at random and
took the first subject at the top Of the
page. He confessed he knew nothing
about II. He did the same thing with
many other subjects Of classical an
tiquIty. And this fellow is one Of the
best-educated men In England
An American writer would not have
done that; he would have pretended to
be thoroughly familiar with everything
In the encyclopedia, and witheringly
abused the people for lacking his great
knowledge.
The truth about old classical sub
jects Is that most Of them are buried
In books and that few people know
anything about them, for the reason
that they are not Of the slightest Inn
portance.
An Englfshman is mean, but he has
a lot Of sense; and he will be reason
ably fair. even II disagreeable with II.

Few Old People in New Guinea.

Tints and Autumn coIors.

Everyone has seen and admired the
beautiful colors Of autumn leaves, but
very few know anything about the why
and wherefore.
1t has been noticed that In two trees

will often take on much brighter color
than the other.
il should be remembered that.
though there must be certain chemical
combinations before any color can be
produced. the act Of producing Is a
vital one. and can only operate under
vital conditions. II we cut on branch

Il aside. the leaves turn black or

ORIENTAL LOVE OF BEAUTY
Flowers and Nature Have Always FIG
ured Prominently In Their
Paintings and Writlnoa

The Orient was always fond Of flow
ers. In primitive times the Arabs
studied the big herbals Of Byzantine
doctors and scientists and copied fiow-
er after flower In their own man
ner; they loved them, but they were
unconscious OF their beauty. When
they wanted to adorn they only used
the conventionalized form Of the lotus
and the arabesque flower eonsecrated
by hundreds Of years Of tradition.
Later on Chinese masters taught them
the living beauty OF flowers. In the
Mongol miniatures they study the
bloSsoming almond tree and the Iris,
but In the sixteenth century only they
begin to love the flower for itself
to study each leaf. each petal, each
line and each hue OF color. They
show the same intimate love for de
tail which inspired the landscapes OF
Behzad. Their landscapes are always

DAY H0N0RED By WELSHMEN
March the First Known the World
Over as Anniversary Of the
country's Patron Saint

The first day Of March has long been
observed as q special day by the peo-
pie Of Wales and Is called st. David's
day In honor of the good St David.
patron saint Of the Welsh. who lived
in the sixth century.
ST. David was said to have been the
son Of a prince Of Cardiganshire,
Wales, and Is accredited with the
working of many miracles, especially
among the poor Of the country. II was
said that when the saint first went
into the fields to preach to his follow
ers the ground on which he was stand
ing began to rise until II assumed o
goodly height, and henceforth was his
pulpit.
For hundreds of years the Welsh
wore sprigs Of leek-a plant with
broad bluish-green leaves and yellow
flower clusters-in their hats as a sym
Dol Of recognition of the day. This Gus
tom was brought about, some say,
from the fact that in a battle Of the
Welsh against their old enemies, the
Saxons, st. David had ordered all
Welshmen to go into battle wearing
their native leek. not only to distin-
guish them from their enemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writers argue that the badge
was worn more as a fraternal sign and
because leek was grown in every Welsh
garden and was the favorite vegetable
of a true Welshman.
Writers Of the last century depict
typical Welsh garden as a garden OF
onions, garlic and leek. HOnely incl
dents are told Of Welshmen assisting
each other in farming and eating their
leeks together. a ceremony symbolic of
hospitality and good fellowship.

NOT ALWAYS PROPERLY SANE
Scientists Assert Few People Have At
All Times Full Command Of Their
Mental Faculties.

Many people think that the express
sion Temporary insanity" Is merely
used by q jury wishing to save rela-
dives pain, but numbers Of doctors
who have made a study Of mental dis
orders emphatically declare It is no
idle term.
One doctor has stated that tempo
rary insanity is a condition Of double
consciousness, not dissimilar to ep-
ilepsy. A person normally quite sane
may have attacks Of temporary aber-
ration lasting little more than a few
minutes, especially after long bouts
Of hard. continuous mental work, be-
ing particularly Liable II insomnia su-
peryenes.
Crimes have been committed in the
early morning when the perpetrator
has not really been properly awake,
and has been Mortified to find what
he has done. This is a true case of
temporary insanity. but IT is compare
lively rare, and a man In normal
health would not suffer In this way.
A specialist In mental diseases has
stated that he knew a case In which
a person was insane during a certain
time Of each day, and that others have
been known when the patient vas
quite normal at ordinary times, but
suffered from temporary at Of mania
regularly once a month.
