Newest MonOplane

The perfection of a small, simpified
 airplane with purchase price and up-
 keep within the reach of the average
 man, has often been attempted in both
 Europe and America. One of the latest
 American attempts has resulted in tue
 completion of a little monoplane, illus trated and described in the Popular Me- chanics Magazine, that measures only twenty-five feet eight inches in span, weighs but $50 pounds when empty, yet is very satisfactory in performance. The single-seat body is of the monocoque, shell type, with the four struts of the py1on rising in front or the cockpit. Bracing wires stretch from the pylon to eight points on the spars of the right and left wing. Ailerons are of the wing tip unbalanced variety. twin-cylinder, | opposed engine drives the machine glV- l ing it a maximum speed of seventy-fiVe miles an hour with a load of 250 pounds.

 Motherhood is the companion theme to spiritualsm in the play. It might be said that motherhood virtually is the leading theme, for it is the tre- mendous urge of mother love that en- -ables Miss Rambeau. as Renee Brown ing, the much sinned- d-against heroine, to score so majesticaf1y In the great psychic scene. In all the world there is no force more potent, more beautiful. than mother love.
 All the wealth of Renee Browning s rich nature was concentrated in her little boy. When her boy was taken from her by an unjust law. her heart was broken and her spirit crushed. She became a derelict-the slave of a
 brute who tried to kill everything good in her-and she drank the dregs of life.
 Crushed by the tyranny of a cold . blooded father. the boy needed a mother, while she, the mother, needed

 But the boy refuses to heed advice and marries the woman, who proves her character by deserting him almost imme- diately. The boy is injured, and the father sets out to find the wife, having surrendered to fate. He finds, but on his way home with her, destiny takes hand and starts the series of situations which straighten out the tangle These are said to be some of the most dramatic ever filmed, with the grip of real excitement holding the spectator to his seat w.

VOLCANO MAKES
 LAND FERTILITY

Anchorage. Alaska, May 1.-As re- suit of the Mount Katmai volcano erup- tion of 1912, hitherto barren land has been made fertile. The volcano showered the country. including Kodiak island, with seve,a al inches of volcanic ash, which for a time threatened all vegetation. Now the grass has grown through the ash and places that were barren are covered with luxuriant growth. The material cast forth by the volcano is said to be one of the finest fertilizers.

A house can be no aias. nan its lot, but it may be wider than it's foundation, and roomier by several feet than the di- mensions of its size would betoken In proof of this, says an interesting story in Popular Mechanics.

Ribbons
 

From the Thrift Magazine.
 The average American woman is among the most resourceful women in the world And none loves pretty clothes mcre and pretty fancy articles In the home. Silks and satins are so expeh- size that many cannot buy them.
 To meet these conditions ribbons have come to the front. Every width. pat tern and quality can be had. Ribbons are economical because wasteful cutting is avoided. The proper width can al ways be secured, and the length easily arrived at, for dress trimming or the making of any fancy article. few years ago much of our ribbon was CT foreign weave Now American weavss arc the most beautiful. the designing ana notwithstanding being of our own talent In fancy work, and for novelty gift ar tic,es. there is no end to the number or things that can be made with ribbon, in better and more charming ways, and With greater economy than with almost any other material A very plain cheap gown can be transformed. and compieteiy changed in general style by the use of couple of yards of soft pliable ribbon. To use a common phrase. one can camou- flage an old gown with pretty ribbon un- til even our friends will not recognize H. The many domestic dyes afford the way of renewing And using old iadeo anu discarded ribbons.

The big truck train, with it's special war exhibits and other equipment of interest, is scheduled to pass through here July $. While the tour is made primarily for the purpose of training and recruiting , men for the army, it is also in the na- ture of a test for the several standardized principal types of motorized army equip ment ,as well for the observation of road conditions.

 The Dodge Bros. motor cars in the truck train are used as officers passen- ger cars and baggage cars The latter is the familiar Dodge Bros. screen side busi- ness car. hundreds of which were used in the army. Altogether more than 2oOO0 Dodge Bros motor cars served the army in this country and overseas and hun dreds of enthusiastic letters were sent to the manufacturers by officers and sol diers who wanted to tell about their re- markable performance These letters of ccmmendation were put in booklet form by Dodge Bros. some time ago, and prob- ably will prove interesting to the public in connection with the coming of the motor train.

COURTESY SHOWN
 BY THE MEXICANS

Mexico City, June 9.--Courtesy is com mon commodity in Mexico No Mexican is too poor to afford it.
 The toughest soldier will not pass one in narrow corridor without saying Con permiso," or "dispenseme," which are Spanish expressions equivalent to excuse me- The same phrase is inva- riably used when one person takes leave of another, to which the answer in- variably is "Pase Vd.'
 Upon giving a new acquaintance ones address, it is customary to say At num- Der street is your home Cor office),' tho implication being that the new friend is to consider ones home his own.
 Persons introduced to each other, when their respective names are pronounced, say: Your servant, sir" or Juan Gar cia, for the purpose of serving you, sir.
 When taking leave of each other, for nal acquaintances who wish to continue relations with each other say: T re- main at Cor l offer mlself to) your serv- ice."
 Observance of these forms. which a Mexican rarely disregards. is a valuable aid to a stranger who wishes to estab- hsh profitable commercial or pleasant social relations in Mexico.

sale of what was thought before to be worthless trash
 When the company first went into bus mess fifteen teams and wagons were employed This number was added to until a veritable caravan of slowly nov
 ing vehicles wended its way in and out of the plant The method was tedious and costly. A driver and his assistant required full day to make a trip into the business district and back. Much difficulty was experienced in driving in and out of narrow alleys and passage ways between office buildings and such places.
 Six Garford trucks, each of six-ton capacity now do the hauling. They make trips on ewo-hour schedules. And they carry much larger loads.
 We hardly know driver is gone.' said MT. Pushker, until he is back at the dock unloading a supply of paper"
 MADE POSSIBILITIES
 MT. Pushker says the trucks have made new possibilities in the novel bus mess. From $10 to $15 day is saved by the operation of each truck. An un- estimated amount of cash is saved on overtime charges of driver and assist ants.
 The trucks do away with congestion and the inconvenience and cost of the upkeep of wagons and teams. They are so constructed that they handle nearly twice as much as wagons. nIgul-. trailers are hooked to the trucks in faii weather, more than doubling the capac- ity again.
 The short coupling of the Garford truck offered the advantage of greater bed room and this was one of the points on which the company decided in the purchase of motor equipment Free ma nipqlation of the trucks in alleys saved much time and customers of the com pany were given better quicker service
 The Cook County Paper Stock Com pany has standardized on the Garford truck and soon expects to operate one of the largest fleets in the city.

TRUCKS ARE BIG
 HELP IN WASTE
 PAPER BUSINESS
One of the Most Unique h. dustries Thrives When Motor LOrries Are
 Used

One of Chicagos most unique indus- tries is a waste paper concern that last year did a business of more than million dollars trafficking in old paper scraps. The story of its success came to light when the company recently moved into a handsome new home, an elegantly equipped plant that cost a ml- lion dollars and which is the largest in- stitution of it's kind in the world.
 The concern is the Cook County Paper Stock Company, which started in busi- ness ten years ago with meager equip ment of horses and wagons. score of men sorted and graded the bits of paper that were picked up in office buildings, printeries, binderies and newspaper of fees. The product was sold to paper mills, which converted it into new stock again.
 The volume of business now is so large that the company is milling it's product in it's new plant

 Tire exports from the United States to Argentina during 1919 were valued at S2,0O0,VOo. only about S1 000,0O0 less than the value of passenger car exports to that country for the same year.
 Smuggling liquor into the United States from Canada is now becoming a precarious undertaking. A ruling of the Canadian customs department now in effect along the border provides that failure to report an export may result in the seizure of the vehicle used in transportation. Inasmuch as liquor can not be reported for export. smuggling motorists are tout of luck.
