The great change wrought in the
daily life of the inhabitants of the
Philippines by automobiles ana
good roads is told by Army"
Armstrong in a recent issue of the
Manila Daily Bulletin:
THE Sultan of Sulu came to
town the other day: that is. to
Jolo town, while | was making a
brief visit to the capital city of
the Suus.
HE came in with his prime min
lister ana retinue. including Il
couple Of body guards in full re-
galla. The sultan had all his glad
rags on ana carried his finest beetle
nut box Of chased gold.
"It recalls to me the last time
| saw the ruler of the Moros enter
Jolo, back in 1902, when he came
in for his first big pow-wow with
Colonel Hockey Wallace, the Am
erican big chief in Jolo at that
time. His sultanship rode in over
the trails from Miauban on a coal
black stallion, and besides his royal
suite ana umbrella carriers had as
his escort some two hundred fight
ing men with spears waving and
barongs and kriseS aglitter in the
sun, all in a ragtime of color that
shamed the rainbow. They had
been five hours coming over the
ninc-mile trail from his summer
home; the coming was pretty bad.
How different the entry | saw
last week. This time he breezed
over in fifteen minutes in his big
passenger car on Royal Cord tires
and over as perfect and pretty a
road as you will find this side of
Riverside Drive, He had come in
to look over some new accessories
and fittings he was having installed
on new limousine he has bought
for the rainy season, and which
will be n convenient shopping car
for his favOrite wife and q dozen
or so other wives that will be per
mittcd to use it, and 7 thought to
myself, what . wonderful combina-
tion they make for civilization
and first-class roads.
But this same thing has been
going on all over the islands for
tho past decade or more and what a
contrast with what we found here

California and Pennsylvania, have
a combined registration of 2.445,-
$3.50 per cent of the entire
country's registration.
The state of Washington super
sedes Maryland in the distinction Of
having the largest per cent of in
crease. Maryland's 1918 increases
over 1917 was So per cent, While
Washington comes along with a As
per cent gain over 1918. North
Carolina runs a close second, A. per
cent in place of it's so per cent in
crease in 1918 over 1917.
The figures reflect that the auto
mobile industry-the third largest
in the Country-is in an era Of al
most limitless expansion 1t has
converted those with optimistic
views of the future of the internal
combustion engine as a means of
vehicle propulsion into genuine OPP
timists. 1t has forced nation, state
and county to establish good roads
building campaigns in equal stride
with the trend of motordom.

EXCESSIVE DRIVING
OVER BAD ROADS
MADE BY OVERLAND

The experiences of r. D. Nc
CalIistGr, travelling salesman, and
his Oakland Sensible Six along the
western slope of the Rocky noun
tains, would make interesting ma
terial for a book of adventure, in
which the hero always wins out.
In a letter received from Mr.. NC
Callister recently, he says
Several days ago l started over
Tennessee pass and arrived event
ually at one of the steep rises,
where | found IA cars stuck in the
mud from several days rain. These
C0rs blocked the road so that |
had to take to the timber to get
around them.
After a little effort, I Was
around them and ready to make
the start for the top, with all the
drivers and passengers in the
stalled cars wearing a know it
smile.
Il started up the hill and pulled
over the top in about two feet of
mud, making a track for the rest
to follow The others all took off
their hats to the Oakland"
Mr.. McCallister covers a wide
territory as travelling salesman,
and uses his Oakland as his sole
means of conveyance. During the
course of his travels, he delights
in showing off his sturdy Sensible
Six.
In the races last summer at Gun
nison, Colo, he won easily in his
Oakland, his only regret being that
the speedometer would not register
as fast as he was going, since there
were not enough figures on it.
Figuring his actual cost per mile,
Mr.. McCollister states that his
Oakland costs him less per mile
than a nationally known car which
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-02-29

he previously owned, which has a
high reputation for economy, az
though his Oakland is now nearly
four years old.
# a travelling salesman can cover
the Rockies quickly conveniently,
and economically in an Oakland
Sensible Six. surely those statesmen
in other more favorable portions
OF the country can do as well or
even better.
Dealers are missing a big oppor-
tunity for roadster and coupe sales
when they pass up travelling men.

If tires could talk they would
blow themselves up with the heat
Of their indignation at the way they
are abused, physically, as well as
orally, by their owners, hence it is
perhaps just as well that tires. like
other inanimate things, have to
suffer in silence without any chance
at all to cuss back at their abusers.

There is a big field here for real
sales effort which has hardly been
scratched.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvOn; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
10 moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone and three Or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Advertise-

Since my active connection with the
work is now ceasing, it may be per-
mitted me to suggest some OF the
working committees which seem essen
tiali Ways and means, house, sewing,
hospitality or entertainment, club and
class, story hour. The ideal should
be for the functions of these commit
tees to extend gradually beyond the
walls of this small house, planning ul.
timately a complete scheme of com
munity instruction and recreation For
this reason, these working committees
should be chosen from the townspeo-
pie at large, rather than from the rel.
atively small governing board. 1t would
seem that annual memberships would
also foster community interest -regu
lar members at a price low enough for
all, and contributing members some
what higher,
1t is my great desire that the work |
may grow and prosper, and to this end |
| leave with the house, its board, and |
It's community, my wish for all good |
fortune.
Respectfully submitted,

COMMUNITY HOUSE REPORT
As Submitted By Harriet M. Gridley
the Headworker.

The following is the report of the
activities of the Barre community
house as submitted by Harriet NJ.
Gridley, the headworker;
To the board of directors of the com
munity house:
/ submit herewith my report of work
at the community house from Feb. /
to Sept. |!
OF the physical labor involved there
can be no account, vet the first two
months were most strenuously EN-
ployed in the process OF bringing the
house and it's contents to new life and
usefulness.
Still, the door was no sooner opened
than the needs of the hour pressed in
children needing shelter, their
elders needing friend, and many
needing to share what the Others
lacked. Although little advertised
there has been steady flow of prae-
teal helpfulness from the house dur.
ing the period mentioned, and the
plant is now sufficiently equipped to
warrant a much broader program of
activities.
The efforts of the house are suggest.
ed by the several rooms---the day nur-
sery, the dormitory, the parlors, the
club and class room, the sewing room,
to say nothing of the ample kitchen,
which is to the community house what
the old-fashioned kitchen was to the
best of old fashioned farmhouses in
Vermont's earlier days.

LEADS IN MINERAL WEALTH
United States Easily First in Metals of Greatest Importance to the
 Worlds Industries.

This country of ours possesses more mineral wealth than any other nation, though Great Britain Qncluding what she controls) is close second.
 We lead the world with 37 per cent of all the iron and 35 per cent of all the coal. These, of course, are most important. We own or control 72 per cent of all the petroleum.
 Copper is the great American metal. We produce 69 per cent of the entire worlds yield of that invaluable sub- stance. Of lead we produce 49 per cent and of zinc 32 per cent.
 England Is away ahead of US where per cent of this precious stuff, where as Great Britain's output amounts to 63 per cent.
 On the other hand, we claim 52 per cent of the silver-the Mexican out put being under our commercial con- our government to make the market price of the white metal whatever Un- cle Sam chooses.
 Of the worlds sulphur we produce 65 per cent. But we have no tn worth mentioning Ca serious miSfor- tune) and little potash.

A "Burninu We'll"

Water and fire aren't usually con- sidered good friends, but under certain circumstances they may unite to form an interesting and beautiful natural phenomenon. This is the case near Mobile, Ala, where for years burn ing well'' has been the center of at traction for visitors and residents of the city. Bored originally for an ar tesian well, the product of the hole was a tremendous flow of salt water heavily charged with chlorine gas.
 How this gas first took fire is not known, but burn it does, and the deep orange flames, uninjured by the water, not only spurt high with the flow of the crystal stream and color it's white foam, but they run along the circular pool about the we'll in continuous sweeps of bright color.

odd Standards Of Time,

Some of the Monammedan tribes of India and of the Indo- -MaIayan peninsula, who are addicted to chew Ing the bctel leaf use that as an indi. cation of the passing of time. The leaf, prepared with a dab of lime and n sprinkling of spices. takes about 20 minutes to chew to pulp. And this Is taken as standard of the time by them. But one of the strang. est methods of telling time Is used sometimes by the Mulays, who meas ure time by the drying of the wet hair on n mans head.

Ancient Cornerstone Layinq,

The custom of laying the corner stone of a public building with cere- monies was practiced by the ancients. At the laying of the cornerstone when the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro- cessiOn of vestal virgins, robed in white, surrounded the stone and con
 secrated 1t with libations of living water. A prayer to the gods followed. and then the magistrates, priests, sen: ators and knights laid hold of the ropes and moved the mighty stone to its proper position. In q hollow cut in the stone were placed ingots of gold, silver and other metals which had not been melted in any furnace
 With the Jews the cornerstone was considered an emblem of power. and they also performed ceremonies at it's laying. In medieval times the rite was taken up by the order of Free masons and has by them been brought down to modern days, the Masonic ceremony of laying a cornerstone be- ing symbolical.
