City Furthest South.

Punta Arenas is the southernmost city in the world. This title does not carry with 1t any of the warmth sug gested in the word south, for Punta Arenas is nearer to the south pole than to the tropics. Overcoats and furs are in order in Punta Arenas all the year round-even in January and Feb ruary, which are summer months down there. Following the inverted calen- dar of that part of the globe. July and August bring to Punta Arenas enough snow, wind and ice to leave no room for doubt that the South ceases to be warm before 1t reaches this latitude. The worlds most southern city is on the strait of Magellan, in Chile which makes 1t 800 miles further south than Cape Town, Africa's city nearest the pole.

Beginning of Great Racing Event.

The English Derby was instituted by the twelfth earl of Derby in 17S0. A year earlier the same racing peer had started the Oaks, named after his place at Banstead downs-the val ley of Lambert's Oaks. Lord Derby won his own race in 17S7 with Sir Peter Teazle, named thus in honor of was acting as Lady Teazle in "The School for Scandal" when Lord Derby saw her for the first time. Little could Lord Derby have imagined that by the time of his grandson1,the prime minister of the early part of Queen victoia's reign-the Derby would be the occasion of national festival.

Objections to Tub Song."

The singing of the male in tub is not encouraged by the females in many households. For some reason 1t irritates them. as the early growing of the cock Is obnoxious to some in the neighborhood. Cock growing did sad damage to the nerves of Herbert Spencer. and yet he is called philos- opher.) The quality of the vocal per formance has nothing to do with 1t. Jones and Robinson may sing tune fully or in a manner to put the plumb ing out of order, 1t matters not; Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Robinson cannot en- dure 1t. Has this habit of husband ever been cited as "extreme cruelty' in divorce proceedings?

GATHERED THOUGHTS

Work is the cure for unrest-and play for worry.
 Children are spanked for telling falsehoods, but after while they learn that grown-up people are not.
 Sometimes, If we can prevent our acquaintances from learning Of our bad luck, we are content to do without their sympathy. That's pride.
 It is easier to be good than to make good. One is a negative virtue, the other positive.
 Drunken men see double. except when they are spending money.
 It Is true, nevertheless, that little girls were just as pretty when they wore semicircular combs that roached back their hair.
 Sleighing can return-with a fast tractor to pull the sleigh-and some body to enjoy 1t.
 Wish there were more women para graphers, so there would be more funny remarks about the mems clothes instead of so many about the women's.
 Ever see a stovepipe hat blow on and take up the street7 It sounds like a horse coming down the turn pike.
 One knows when he is sitting behind a regular movie fan. He Is too so- phisticated to laugh at the antics on the screen that you think are side splitting.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ROADS HARD ON AUTO. TIRES
, Yearly Cost TO Owners Of cars Il
Something Like $1,000, 100000
In Wear.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten. In discussing the roads and road
building in the United States. about
the wear and tear Of automobiles on
the roads, but brand-new element
seems to have been brought in BY the
director of roads of the American
Automobile association, who suggests
consideration Of the wear and tear Of
the roads on automobiles. Automo-
bile traffic now wears out something
like 10000, 600 tires year. costing au-
tOmobile owners something like ST.
100000, 900; and on the roads as they
now are, it can be argued from data
already accumulated, that the tractdve
resistance, otherwise wear and tear,
varies from 20 pounds or less on one
kind Of road to 300 pounds or more
on another. The consumption Of gaso-
line also is said to vary with the char
acter Of the road on which an auto
mobile Is travelling. The idea Is sur.
prising, but 1t seems not impossible
that a considerable part Of the cost OF
building q national system Of roads
that would produce the least possible
wear and tear on automobiles would
be balanced by the decreased expense
for tires.
