THE OTHER DAY

| heard a mother say to
her tiny tot ''Be a good
boy or Santa won't send
you any sled" And I
thought how prone we were
to Withhold the full measure
of pleasure from those even
that we love the best.
Even an ugly dog is a
loyal friend to a bad boy.
The Lord surely made no
mistake when he designed a
dog.
Now during these few
days of Joyous living and
liberal giving let us forget
that boys are ever bad. Let
us not hold over them the
threat of retribution and re-
taliation by Santa, the
Spirit of the Season, but
plan his presents so that he
may get positive pleasure
from every one Of them.
A little candy-a book or
so-a new suit, mackinaw
or waist, all have the power
of raising the fountain of
JOY in q bad boys heart UNI
til it bubbles over with
kindly thoughts and deeds.

The Carpenter of Galilee
Whene'er our zeal is burning low,
When right is hard and easy wrong;
When we despair at progress slow.
And the old sins are pulling strong,
Then for fresh courage we turn to Thee.
The Carpenter of Galilee.
Go forth with US, Thou wondrous Guest
We need Thee in the shop, the home;
Thy presence will our steps arrest
When we shall tempted be to roam;
And men in us Thyself shall see,
The Carpenter of Galilee.

Night is flower with shadow petals
That slowly wake when day is gone,
For dawn is twilight to the night,
And twilight is the dawn.

 A new note in warehouses is the use of moire crepe de chine. Moire crepe de Chine is effective in black with bon nag embroidery in pastel colorings with girdle of self material.

The Chinese round neck and side opening are used, and from Japan comes the pagoda and the charming little garden scenes that are developed in fine beads and decorate the unique blouses.

THE FOURTEENTH STATE

The first state added to the original thirteen composing the United States, was Vermont. The Green Mountain state had varied career up to the time of it's entrance into the Union. Two centuries ago a tract of Southern Vermont was granted to Connecticut. In 1763 New York claimed the terri tory of Vermont under grants from
 Charles II to the Duke of York, and ordered the sheriff to return the names of those who had settled in Vermont under titles from New Hampshire, which had also made big grants in the territory. A dispute arose between the latter colony and and New York, the claims of which
 were later sustained by the king. The Green Mountain Boys" under Ethan Allen were organized to oppose the "Yorkers," and later played promi- nent part in the Revolution. After the establishment of the republic New York's claims were overthrown and Vermont became an independent state.

THE FIRST MOTOR CARS

It is generally agreed that the frs, working road locomotive ever made was that of Frenchman, Nicholas Joseph Cugnot, in about 1769. The il- lustrious Watts experimented in a road locomotive, having patented a steam carriage in 1784. When, how ever, Trevithick took hold of the steam carriage enterprise in 1797 more prog ress was made. He is said to have been the first engineer to transport passengers in steam conveyances on English highways. He was forced to give up the running of road carriages on account of the excessive expense Carl Benz invented the single, hori. zontal cylinder, water-jacketed engine in 1886, which he applied to a three wheel carriage. The first steam car I'iage was the work of Leon Serpellet which was put to practical use about 1894.
 The future of the motor car rested on the least important mechanical unit, the pneumatic tire. J. D. Dun- lap supplied this necessity by announc. ing the invention of the inflated cush- ion in 1888. The result was the bi- cycle craze of the sos. The second invention on which the motor car rests is the internal combustion engine. Gottlieb Daimler invented the small high-speed gas engine, the first suc- cessful gasoline engine, in 1884, and in 1885 single cylinder, inclosed crank and fly-wheel engine was first built. Tins internal combustion engine gave concentrated power which enabled the vehicle to go up and down hills and over ordinary roads with much speed.

For late summer wear, organdie and linen will be used for these blouses. So strongly are they favored that all materials available are used for their development.
 Tier Skirts
 Skirts built up in tiers are especial ly favored by fashion. The frock here shown is developed in lowered challis, and the chemisette and cuffs are of crisp organdie. The grace of line and simplicity of style are the salient feat ures. A combination of three mate rials is seen in the suit coat illustrat- ed. The underskirt foundation section is developed in black satin, the upper section and coat are developed in serge, and the vest and collar are of heavy brocaded material, rich in color and ornamental in design.
 For the magnificent waistcoats which are seen, many designers use wide ribbon of fantastic design and brilliant colorings. It may be pur- chased at any of the shops and with the aid of helpful pattern may be executed by the home dressmaker.

MOTOR KNOCKS AND PoUNDs''
They Should Be Given Immediate A. tention to Avoid Serious and
 Costly Damage.

The s. O. S. signals of the motor are the sounds known as knocks and pounds" and they should be needed at once or serious and costly damage will probably result.
 There Is no generally accepted dis tinction between these two kinds of abnormal sounds which an ailing motor may give out, but the term knock is usually applied to the some what sharp, clanking noise which is produced when metallic parts are ab- normally stressed, but have no sub stantial looseness or play between them.
 Little, if any. jar of the car as a whole accompanies these knockings. The term pound" is usually applied to the much more resonant and more blow-like sound. which results from loose parts, striking together, and which is commonly accompanied by distinct jar. According to these defl. nitions, knock may occur in motor which is in perfect mechanical con- oition, with none of its parts loose from wear or faulty adjustment.
 The knock is most commonly caused by too early ignition of the charge, due to the spark occurring too early, or by the premature ignition due to carbon deposits. too high compress non. or overheating of the piston.
 A pound, on the other hand, occurs only in motor which is in imperfect mechanical condition.
