Movie Thriller Takes
 Part In This "Driveaway'

Shades of all the movie serials ever
 written! Three Studebaker sixes were re-
 gently put through an ordeal that rivals Nsome of the most thrilling of the film
 thrillers, and they came out with colors
 flying and the lives of their pilots safe.
 The test was not in the nature of a
 "stunt" but was forced upon the drlVers
 by a situation beyond their control.
 Because of the freight car shortage, three purchasers of Studebaker cars de-
 cided to drive their automobiles over the
 road from Detroit to Clean, N. Y. Upon
 reaching Conneaut O., they were n- formed that the road between that town
 and Erie, Pa, was impossible. They decided to adopt the only other alterna- tive of driving over the interurban tracks. They waited until a. m.. when the interurban cars stopped running, ana started upon their way to Erie over the ties.
 Following each winding and twisting of the car tracks, the Studebakers pulled up long grades, turned sharp curves, or skinned over the straightaway until the trestle of Crooked creek was reached. Here the supreme difficulty, traversing the narrow bridge, presented itself. Be- low the drivers and their cars were eighty feet of space
 After consultation it was decided that to go back was impossible; so, turning one wheel just inside the track and the other just outside, the trip across the bridge was made.
 In risking their cars and themselves. the pilots depended upon the absolute surenes5 of the steering mechanism and the easy-riding qualities of the cars The feat was accomplished without a mishap and the party continued on its way to Erie after spending an adventurous half hour.

Trade Fairs Existed As Far Back As 21OO B. C,

to have to depend on a traveller who per- haps is thousand miles away from his head office. Mistakes are much less likely to occur '.nder such conditions. This has been proved by the business transacted at the recent Industrial Fairs. which were held copcurrenry at London, BiI mingham and Glasgow.
 Another kiNd os trade exhibition is that which is set Up by a group of merchants who wish to show their goods ill a for eign country. Such was le exhibition held in Athens some time ago by the Federation of British Industries. All the advantages which accrue from central exhibition such as might be held in Lon don are achieved at exhibitions held in the country where customers are sought. In addition, men who could not afford the time and expense entailed in long Jour ney to 8 manufacturing district are able | to spend few days reviewing goods Tn
 their own capital city or neighborhood.
 The result of the Athens exhibition has | been to increase trade to consideraple degree with the near east.
 | The third kind of trade exhibition IS
 what has been called the Trade Clr- | GUS" This is an exhibition Of merchan- disc which will tour from one country 1 tc another, staying as long as may pe
 deemed necessary in the chief clties oa I each country. The British department U,

 principal European countries, British col | onies, China, North and South Amerrsa And manufacturers who wish to take ao- vantage of the scheme will be able 10 ar range their exhibits in large portapie showcases specially designed Ihese cases will be arranged in a hall whlch will be taken in towns abroad TOT Si<e exhibition of British goods.
 This last development of the trade falr idea has never been tried on any great scale before, but experts In Ensiand are all agreed that the scheme Is practical and will prove of great utility both to British manufacturers and to thelr cus- toners in foreign countries. One can say with confidence that trade fairs generally will continue until comperce< comes back l to the normal.

JULES GOUX WILL BE
 HERE IN FEW DAYS

Indianapolis, May 1.-Following on the heels of the announcement that a Peugeot team of three cars had beea entered in the 500-mile race for S50,000 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 31, comes the infor- nation that Jules Goux, who will cap tain the Peugeot delegation. has sailed from Havre, France, on the Lorraine and will arrive within a few days.
 The Peugeot cars are expected to arrive about the same time tn win ner\of the 1918 Indianapolis classic sets foot in Yankeeland and the cars will se driven through to Indianapo- lis from the seaboard.
 With three Peugeots already entered, it is probable that a fourth will be entered within a few. days. providing an international dicker for one of the cars can be successfully negotiated.
 Frank P Book, millionaire sports man of Detroit has learned that there is an extra Peugeot car built to meet the Speedway requirements available, and he is attempting to import the

London. April 1.-CReciprocal News sirvice.) .)-Great Britain is going out hard for export trade in countries least af- fected by the war; and one of her nred- iums for the propagation of business is the trade fair, at home to attract foreign buyers, abroad to interest the far-distant or isolated traders, and by means of itin- erant exhibitions of goods to build up future demand fer British goods.
 The idea of these fairs is not new one, and can be traced back to the time of Hammurabi, the great King. who founded the first Babylonian empire in 200 B. C. Since that remote period of the worlds history exhibitions of merchaA- disc have never entirely died out. In mediaeval times they grew in importance and were a recognized factor in tn com merce of several European countries.
 One would think that with the perfec- ton of communications, with the tele- phone, telegraph and airplane, the nsed for organized industrial exhibitions has passed away. But this is not the case, and the chrewdest business magnates today recognize the trade fairs perform an ex- tracrdinarily useful kind Of worK whose many-sided nature may not at once be recognized by the public generally.
 The main purpose of organized exhibi- tior of merchandise is publicitq. By or ganizing a fair in a great commercial center like London, an opportunity is given to business people to see the widest range of samples possible. In such a center, under favorable conditions, and in circumstances that certainly help to attract and hold the attention of spec tators and possible customers, goods are displayed with even greater advant$ae than in shop window. Visitors come to see and to judge what articles would be most useful, from commercial point of view, to their own communities. Op- portunties occur of speaking 10 pros- pective buyers and the msrchant pos sessng a stall can commend his goods to those interested.
 The exhibitions are in short, 8 con- venient and comparatively inexpensive form of cooperation between manufac- turers whereby they can best display their wares for buyers to sec From the point of view of the foreign cus- toner, it Is more satisfactory to be able to get into direct touch with the actual manufacturer and handle his goods than

Bee Raising Profitable
the Thrift Magazine.

From the Thrift Magazine,
 Keep a bee and produce your own sweetening. Sugar is scarce, it's price high and you can grow it in your garden. But honey contains several kinds of sugars. as well as some other substances. and a colony or two of bees in orchard. garden or back yard will afford both pleasure and profit, as many thousands of people know, and at the same time will provide a wholesome feed which will take the place of q large part of the sugar now consumed.
 Not only is the bee valuable as a producer. but it offers a recrea tion which pays It's own ways. and is most beneficial in cross -pollinating the Flowers of various economic plants
 Honey as it comes from the hive is in the form af comb honey, and as such appeals to most users. But enor- nous quantities of honey are now used for manufacturing purposes, and this demand is. of course. for the other form in which 1t is on the market extracted honey.
 This honey is usually pure and of good quality, and the advantage of comb honey, which retails at slightly higher price. is chiefly it's attractiye- ness to the eye. The simplest way of using extracted honey is to serve 1t like syrup.

DENVER, Dec. 2S.-The pig will
be put in the parlor" at the annual
national Western stock show in Den
yer this year.
The stock show. drawing exhibitors
and visitors from practically every
state west of the Mississippi, will
open January Is and continue
through January %.
A new building has been construct
ed this year for the exclusive housing
of swine, the pavilion being made
necessary because of the growth OF
the pure-bred hog industry through
out the Rocky mountain region.
Nearly as many hogs arrive in The
Denver market now as at any of the
larger Eastern market ccnters, and
yet II was declared only a few year
back that hogs could not be made
profitable in the West, owing to a
lack of hardening" foodstuff such as
cheap corn.
The new pavilion is built of brick
and hollow tile, and the most scien-
tihc arrangement known for pens and
water and feed troughs are TO be in
stalled. a feature will be the man.

plo heat for the stock IL cold weather

in Sunday school are taught that
smoking will make them dull.
DOUBTLESS true" states Or. Basset,
but statistics prove that the young
stcr who is full of initiative and
Ngor Is almost sure 10 smoke some
time during his early years. The Bal
fillmore health boards annual report
discloses the fact that the youngsters
who smoke are from ono to three
years ahead of their non smoking
companions"
The statistics. according to the Reed
College psychologist, do not argue for
smoking. but they show that the
bright boy is apt TO test the weed

that the town Of Wapwallopen pay LIS

This is the first time the question

tutional lawyers OF Pennsylvania are

nary boys. who get through nigh
