WE'LL Goodnight"
That night lay awake worrying about my fnancia
condition Again l turned over in my mind the varioui
wealthy Canadians whom had met at the Toronto horse
show though, of my rich friends in New York, ALFRED
and Reginald Vanderbilt.
As explained last week had made it rule never te

retain their friendship and confidence at all hazards be-
they the sponsors for my social position ano
as long 1 held their favor and confidence could
swnde and impose upon the little fish in the social pool
who dearly love associate with the Vanderbis and
their intimate friends.
Constantly during the night my thoughts turned upor
Mrs Hayne was, personally much impressed with hel
youth beauty vivacity, amiability and adapabity.
wondered why charming woman with such possibli
ties for social should have been doomed to the fate
of marrying poor though worthy British army officer

society who had managed to men OF great wealth
and social position. How much better would Mrs hayne
grace the drawing the ballroom the deck of

Of mine than the women they had chosen!
And a bit of conversation came back to my mind sew
eral times during the night when had said to her. ou
very pretty madame you should have all the good
things Of the EARTH and she had replied rather pensvey
'iYou really think then Count Gregory that my for

novels and in plays pretty always swimming
in money if their clothes and jewels and automobiles and

do it."
pondered those words of Mrs Hayne. tried to get
behind the words and satisfy myself just what Mrs
Hayne really meant.
Did Mrs Hayne belong to the class Of highminded
young who realized that she fitted for higher
sphere of existence but while regettng that the fnes

MORE MOTOR LAWS
LIKELY THIS YEAR
State May Increase Registro-
tion Fees for Cars and Trucks.


ALBANY. Feb 5.--Judging from the
talk already heard about the State Capt.
toll there will be plenty in the way Of
motor vehicle legislation attempted in
the New York State Legislature during
the present session. There is every n
dication to-day that the present oper-
ator's law, now confined to New York
city. will be made Statewide. Secretary
OF State Lyons has declared himself m
favor OF such a move. and il is "a gen
orally accepted fact that automobile
clubs and similar organizations will lend
their support to the measure after Its
Introduction.
There is talk also of another increase
in registration fees. In view of the FAC,
that the State is hard pressed for funds
IL Is more than possible that the increase
will come about although as yet there
Is nothing definite as to just how grea.
II will be. Some legislators are open in
their declarations that commercial cars
, should pay double the present registra
tion fees and that there should be a five
dollar boost in passenger cars. IL Is
quite possible that the age OF a car will
not be factor year hence in figuring
out the registration fees.
The Kelly-Simpson and the Walton
Tearon bills each OF which passed one
branch of the Legislature last year. arc
certain TO be reintroduced in the present
Legislature. The Kelly-Simpson mill
serves to enlarge the power of the Secre-
tary of State along the lines of suspen-
sion and revocation of licenses and will
have the backing of New York city
magistrates and others. If tho bill be-
comes Q law the Secretary OF state will
be given the power to subpoena wit
nesses. Lack OF this has proved a seri-
Gus handicap in hearings during the past
year. The bill. carrying as 1t does
large number OF amendments, prohibits
among other things the use of freak
horns and cutouts.

On January 21st the Paige Daytona Model
600 broke every stock car record for speed
when it covered measured mile in 35O1
seconds-a pace of 1923 miles per hour.
This marvellous feat was accomplished on
the sand beach at Daytona, Florida and both
the time and chassis checking are officially
attested by the Contest Board of the An1eri-
can Automobile Association.
Today therefore, Paige stands as the un-
questioned stock car champion of the world
And, what is even more, the entire line of
Paige Goo Models is revealed as the most inn
portant automotive development of the age
Henceforth these cars must be recognized
by the entire world as Speed Masters Of the
highway. There need never be humiliating
dust for the 6-66 owner because he will drive
with the serene confidence of the true
champion-and his horn blast will be more
than an idle boast

The tendency of medical
science is toward preventative
measures. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. Pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have
to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of
the pneumonia germ. The long
er the cold hangs on, the greater
the danger. Take Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the
least possible delay. 1t is folly
to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtain
ed for trifle.

name is the estate of Rhode
Island and Providence Planta-
tions." 1t originated from two
distinct settlements. The first
was made by Roger Williams in
1886. He was the pastor of
church in Salem. AS he advo-
Gated radical reforms he was
ordered to return to England,
but fed to the Narragansett
tribe of Indians. From them he
obtained a tract of land and
called the town which he estab-
lished Providence, in token of
Gods mercy which had so far
provided for him.
%hn corx,1 Tina Mrs
Anne Hutchinson and her fol-
lowers were expelled from Mas
sachusetts on account of a theos
logical dispute She made her
way TO the Island of Aquidneck,
which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats.
The name of this island was
changed to the Isle of Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island in the Mediterranean.
BY common usage it became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles III gave Rhode Island
very liberal charter, and this re-
manned in force until 1S41, when
q new state constitution was
adopted by mass conventions,
and two years later another new
constitution was legally voted.
The IN ange in constitutions
caused what was known as
DORIS rebellion.
The entrance of Rhode Island
into the Union in 1890 completed
the list of the original thirteen
states. Though Rhode Island is
the smallest of all the states,
with only 1,248 square miles, it
is very thickly populated and
has five presidential electors,
which is more than those of a
number of states of much larger
territory.
