The First Automobile.

What is said to be the first autOmo-
bile, in the world was discovered by
the officers of the A. E. F., near LIE
Mans, France, in the magnificent sta
bles of the estate of the Marquis de
Broc. The authentic record of this
self-prOpelled road car is that 1t was
built Cat enormous expense) in 1878.
1t was used on long road trips and had
speed of about % miles an hour;
but the marquis stopped using 1t, as
1t frightened the neighbOrs horses!
The car was discovered by officers who
were invited to the castle by the mar
quis. 1t somewhat resembles stage
coach In design-having powerful
engine in the front and chimney In
the rear. 1t was propelled by steam,
much as our steam rollers are today.
The small wire railing at the top was
Intended to hold baggage, while travel
Ing; and 1t is evident that the car
was fitted up with every convenience
that could be contrived at the time.
The car is now stored in the marquis
garage.-Hereward Darlington, in Les

FIRST WAREHOUSE TO OPEN
THIS SEASON
Determination of Other Houses to Not
Open Until After Holidays
Maybe Sooner

On the heels of what is probably the
best collection of case periods this sec
ton has ever experienced, talk OF
warehouse opening is the all-absorb-
ing topic.
There are many elements which
make an early opening thoroughly
Observation-Disclosures which only those
in close touch with the sorting bust
ness are familiar with. The disrup-
ton of the crew during the holiday
season is only one of these, and the
disposition of the Bekkekdal, McIn-
tosh and Marqusee houses is to de-
lay until the first of the year. How
ever, due to some unusual factors, the
Eckhart house deems it advisable to
open sooner, and accordingly will open
with small crew next Monday, and
it is felt that two other houses may
open sooner than January LIST.

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL

The annual sale of Christmas seals
again opens the holiday season. 600
children are besieging US to buy seals
from them, and because we cannot say
no to a child we buy a dimes worth,
with little thought perhaps, of the
wonderful work that is to do. 5000
people in Wisconsin will enjoy this
Christmas, who would not be alive to-
day, except for the seals you have
bought. Wisconsin has the fifth low
est death rate from tuberculosis in the
whole United States. We have start
ed something. Let us put Wisconsin
at the top. Every tubercular person
is menace to every one with whom
he comes in contact. The disease can
be stamped out by the methods this
society is employing. 1t is supported
solely by the sale of Christmas seals
So buy Christmas seals generously OF
the children, The gift of health is
the greatest Christmas gift you car
make. -s.s-e-a-s - ''"eTs~v~-~-
