The Smoke Of Cottage chimneys

The smoke of cottage chimneys,
To fill the sky's blue cup,
Like sacrfcial vapors,
Through all the earth go up;
A goodly sight and pleasant,
For every eye to see,
So potently suggestive,
OF thrift and harmony
The smoke of cottage chimneys,
For me has wondrous charm,
And brings me glowing visions,
OF hearth fires snug and warm;
Where happy children gather
About the cheerful glow,
And vainiy try to number
The sparks that upward 60.
The smoke of cottage chimneys,
As | see it upward roll,
Brings a sense of reinsurance.
And of gladness to my soul;
For know whatever crumbles,
Under fate's remorseless stroke,
There is safety for the Nation
While the cottage chimneys smoke
States may flourish, states may perish
Empires totter to their fall,
But the smoke of cottage chimneys,
Will endure beyond it all
And the smoke of cottage chimneys
Is a grander thing to me,
Than the hosts of War assembled,
Or the battle fleets at sea.

hce and this amount must be deposited with the customs authorities. By ar engagement made with various European governments, however, the British Auto mobile Association has devised system whereby instead of depositing the amount of the duty the motorist gives the asso- citation a bankers indemnity for the re- quired sum on an English bank, and the ass ociaton then accepts all responsibility. When the tourist returns home the full amount is returned to him.
 ISSUE PASSES
 In the case of tourists going from Eng land to the continent the associotion has been authorized by several European governments to issue international passes which enables holders to proceed immedi- ately on their way as soon as their papers have been examined by the customs au- thorities In the absence of these passes long and irritating delays would often be experienced ill entering and leaving va rious countries.
 The British Automobile Association is also having special motoring maps pre- pared not only of Great Britain, but of the continent and through it's agencies in every country it is prepared to take charge of rerairs and to supply tires, spare parts and other necessaries. The has offices in all the larger places are at the disposal of all Amer ican motorists as readily as are the as- sociation's staffs in Great Britain.

TIRE BUILDERS ALSO PROGRESS Race Track Testing Ground of Both Motors and
 Pneumatics

Indianapolis, June 12.-With the eighth international motor sweep stakes a matter of history, motordom has had chance to study the sensa-
 tional performances it developed and to marvel al the engineering progress it proved.
 The new racing class is plainly able to fully equal. with motors of only 1S3 cubic inches piston displacement, any feat of speed or endurance pos sible to the 300-inch motors of former years.
 Tire improvement has kept pace with motor development. A year ago. WhcoX-the winner-made but three tire changes, and experts marveled at the endurance of his equipment. This
 years victor. Gaston Chevrolet, made
 the entire flight of 300 miles on his Oldtield tires, without a single change. Barney Oldfield, former race cham pion, who also manufactured the tires used by Thomas and Milton. who fin ished second and third, credits racing tests which much of the progress so conclusively proven.
 Tn no other laboratory can the tire builder secure such immediate and conclusive results" declares the mas ter driver" in reviewing the event.
 "Chevrolets 800 miles over the bricks were easily equal to 10000 miles
