TAKE WIFE ON MOTOR TOUR
Writer Calls That Real Test Of Mar
rage, Especially If She Can
Ia Drive.

= Before being taken on a motor tour
wives who themselves drive should
be anesthetized and all knowledge Of
motors removed, Sinclair Lewis writes
in the Saturday Evening Post. For If
they know anything about the game 1t
is so hard to explain to them why
when you are trying to pass car on
the hill and suddenly see another car
bearing down you first step on the
accelerator instead of the brake, then
retard the spark, yank the gear lever
into neutral, grindingly try to get 1t
into reverse or low or anything that
is handy, sound the horn, step on the
gas again, finally get into second
and then kill the motor.
So dangerous thing is a little
knowledge that In such cases women
have been known to doubt your hav-
ing a perfect reason for all those clsv-
er maneuvers.
Motoring is the real test of mar
,riage. After week of it you either
stop and get divorce or else-free
FROM telephone calls and neighbors
and dressing for dinner, slipping past
fields blue with flax and ringing with
meadOwlarks in the fresh morning
you discover again the girl you used
to know.

HUMAN NATURE NOT CHANGED
All Records Show That Mankind Has
Remained Much the Same
Through the Ages.

Read the Oldest records of our race,
up to admiration, or relating with
heartfelt emotion, the facts that we
ourselves most delight in. The fidel-
ity of Joseph to his master, the love
OF Hector for his wife and child, come
home to our hearts as suddenly as to
those of the ancient Hebrew among
the Syrian mountains, or the pagan
Greek In the islands of the Aegean
sea /. The first Chaldean who OBJ
served that the planets seem to jour
ney among the other stars, and not
merely rise and set in with them, that
Jupiter and Sirius follow different
laws, knew a truth which is now the
foundation of astronomy in London
and Paris no less than of old in Baby
lon. The first Egyptian, who. medi-
tating on curved figures, discerned
that there Is one in which all the
lines from one point to the circumfer-
ence are equal, gained the idea of a
circle, such as 1t has presented itself
to every later man from Thales and
Euclid down to Laplace and Herschel.
Nay, those who most exalt the re-
! Quirements of our age compared with
the past-and they can hardly be too
much exalted-must admit that all
progress implies continufty-that we
can take step forward only by hav-
ing Arm footing for the step behind it.
John Sterling.

Most Resistant Of Woods.

The redwood Is one Of the most re-
sistant of woods against fires. 1t Is
hard to ignite and slow to burn and
fires are easily extinguished. The
fire-resistant quality Of redwood was
well shown at the time of the great
San Francisco fire in 1905, when the
burned district was fringed with
houses built with redwood, which re-
sisted the flames until they could be
controlled. Redwood is light, but
relative to its weight 1t Is one OF the
strongest woods known. 1t Is not es-
pecially elastic and consequently is
not extensively used for structural
purposes where timbers are subject
to heavy loads. The wood Is suffi-
GENTLY strong and stiff, however, for
general house construction purposes,
and, in addition, is light and durable.
These properties. as we'll as its abil-
ity to keep it's shape, make redwood
especially valuable for use In the
construction of poultry yard Sppii-
ances, which must resist rot and keep
tight in all kinds Of weather.

DOUGLAS FIR WIDELY USED
American Tree Attains Splendid Pro-
portions and Is Remarkably AS
sertive and Prolific.

Douglas fir is the name given to one
Of the best timber trees in the west
ern part of the country. Specimens
are common with a diameter of 10
feet, and travellers in the belt where
they grow report having seen them
20 feet in diameter and tapering
straight to a height of from $50 to 300
feet.
The coast range of the Sierras pro-
vides the best trees. Only the IA
nous redwood and two or three other
grOwthS exceed the fir in size, and
none except the yellow pine produces
so much commercial timber. The tree
Is sometimes styled the Oregon pine,
but foresters say it is more OF hem
lock. It's botanical name is false
hemlOck," although that designation
is not generally approved.
1t is one of the most assertive and
most prolific of timber growths. For
esters say that no other produces so
many trees to the acre, and when a
grove is started it crowds out growths
or other species. 1t finds a wide va
riety of uses, being made into tele-
graph poles, ship masts and derrick
booms, and is also used for interior
finish. Coarse and fine grained woods
are turned out from it, according to
the age. The annual rings are not
nearly as thick after the first century
or so of growth as in the earlier years,
and so the same tree may yield more
than one grade Of timber. Full-grown
trees are more than 100 years old.

Fine Home for Young Singers.

Appreciative of the contribution to
music made by the Paulist choristers,
and DESTROYS Of giving them the OPP
portunity to develop their art, John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., has placed at their
disposal as their home fine old
house and grounds on Washington
Heights. New York city, known as
Libby castle. The house was built
20 years ago and is now one of the
landmarks Of the city. It's architec-
ture Is combination of medieval Nor
man and Spanish. There are so boys
there now, ranging from ten years up
to seventeen. They have been recruit
ed from almost every state, In the
Union and every level Of society. To-
gether with the course in music they
receive fine academic education that
prepares them for entrance into the
higher schools and colleges, says the
New York Times. The grounds
around Libby castle also make 1t pos
sible for them to get the proper physi-
cal training.

varied. Uses Of ceconuts.

Coconuts have long been considered
one Of the most valuable products OF
the tropics. The palm grows wild and
is utilized In many ways by the ma
tives. The meat of the nut, eaten raw
or cooked, forms an important article
Of food and the liquid contained in
the center of the nut most refresh
ing drink; the sap from the unopened
flower buds is also used as drink
and is highly Intoxicating if allowed
to ferment for some time; the husk
of the nut is used for fuel and it's
fibers to make rope, mating and
brushes; the shell Of the nut is used
for fuel, for drinking cups and various
household utensils; the leaves and the
wood of the palm are utilized for mats,
matching and timber for huts.

PINS NOT LONG PERFECTED
Production Of the Really Finished
Product Only Dates Back to the
Year 1924.

In 1775 the American congress, real
izing the absolute necessity for pins
In the development Of the civilization
lOf the country. offered bonus OF
1850 for the first twenty-five dozen do
nestle pins equal to those imported
from England.
In 1897 Timothy Harris OF England
devised the first sOlid-headed pin.
American inventive genius, as usual,
continued on the job until the best
idea was hit upon. Lemuel Wellman
Wright Of this country invented
machine in 1924 which gave the In
,dustry much Roadway. His machine
made solid heads to the pins by
process similar to the making of nails,
by driving q portion Of the pin Itself
into countersunk hole. This was
done automatically and consisted Of a
device by which the wire was seized
In two small grooved cheeks. When
both cheeks are placed face to face,
the wire is held tightly In the groove
with a small portion projecting,
small hammer connected with the ma
chine strikes on the projecting por-
ition, thus forming the head.
Seven years later, in 1881, John Ire
land Howe, a doctor in Bellevue hos
lpital, New York, invented machine
for making perfect solid-headed pins.

tory started at Derby, Conn.

shakespeare and Anne hathaway.

Is there question on Gods round
earth more interesting than the fol-
lowing: what attracted William
Shakespeare to Anne Hathaway 2"
She was woman ten years his senior.
He married her when he was Is. She
lived In matched cottage in the ham,
let Of ShOttery (you may see the cot
tage today. While his imagination
was away among the kings and queens
and women of rare blossoming, whose
beauty ruled cautious men, whose
nimble wit overthrow the Shylocks of
the middle ages, Shakespeare chose.
Anne Hathaway. She bore him two
sons and daughter, and in his will
he left her his best bed.-Chicago

Mans Ever-Falthfui Friend.

No final estimate Of a man in his
community can be made till we are
told what children and the dogs
thought about him. The only trouble
Is that dogs are likely to be too fondly
indulgent. They will follow the tramp
as soon as the millionaire, the COM
moner as readily rs royalty. They
look into a mans eyes, not into his
pockets. If they find kindness in his
aspect they do not care about his
purse. They will starve and suffer
with him and adventure anywhere.
When he fails they have no condemna-
ton. Their love once placed Is I'M
changing.-Exchange.

Turtle Euos in Chow.

Boiled turtle eggs are novelty
which has been added to the mess Of
the United States marines on duty at
the naval station at Guantanamo Bay.
Cuba.
Two 200-pound turtles were cap
tured recently by marines while sail
ing q email boat on the bay. When
they were killed more than 100 eggs
were found In each.
The egg Of the turtle when re-
moved from the body has a soft SHE'LL
The egg itself is about the size OF
hens egg. The inside resembles In
taste and appearance the yolk OF a
hens egg.
The eggs are boiled hard. and the
shell is peeled off like the outer skin
Of an onion. ~

The earliest needles known in his
tory did not have eyes, but were like
avis and were used for making holes
In skins. through which long roots Of
plants or leather thongs were passed
and then tied. Later a hole was
bored through one end of the stone
or bronze needle, through which the
root or leather was passed, and thus
dragged through the hides as punched.
Such needles are found In the remains
Of the stone age. Bone needles with
eyes are found in the reindeer caves
OF France and lake dwellings Of CEN
trail Europe.

MANY LEGENDS or THE HAW
Scarlet Berry Regarded In Some Parts
Of the World as the Emblem
Of Hope.

Around Little Rock the haw is seen
in the full glory of its fruitage. In
woods that are dull and brown its myr-
lad berries greet the eye with warm
red of glowing Goals. Here is single
tree, it's spreading branches studded
ali over with scarlet fruit. 1t makes
q picture that seems to be waiting to
be transferred to canvas. Further on
are Ave or six trees standing together
their mass showing q wealth of color
that a landscape artist might re
joice to reproduce with his art. Any
one of scores of groups of these trees
would, in public park or large pri-
vate grounds, be never-ending Oh
ject of admiration.
He who has not read of hawthorn
hedges has not read the literature or
England, remarks writer in the Lit
tie Rock Gazette. In that country OF
beautiful landscapes the haw blooms
In many spots that have been beauti-
fed by long years of care. And 1t has
its legends, both pagan and Christian
It has been regarded as the emblem or
hope and its branches are said to
have been carried by the ancient
Greeks in wedding professions and to
have been used to deck the altar Of
Hymen. An old superstition In the
British Isles accounts 1t unlucky to
upro0t haw. There has been for GEN.
turtles a story that this tree was the
source Of Christ's crown of thOrns,
and there is tradition among French
peasants that, in its innocence, 1t ut
tiers groans and cries on the annivers-
airy of the day when he whose birth
we celebrate on Christmas, suffered
death upon the cross.

Water Raised by Endless Belt.

The oldest of recent English pro-
auctions is the spiral-spring belt
pump, claimed to raise 1000 gallons
Of water per hour from a depth Of
300 feet, even when operated by hand.
The endless belt is mounted on a
grOOved pulley having vertical posi-
ton by loose groOved weight In the
bottom loop. The water held In the
turns of the spiral is discharged as the
belt goes over the top In Its regular
rotation.

4ParadIss R.caIned" on Cabbage.

1t is said that John Milton often
used to have nothing but few olives

do not think we could write anything
cheerful ourselves after dining on
