When car owners return from their

Of 'metatarsal displacement"
Continuous motoring is the cause
of the ailment. 1t is a right foot
trouble caused by the continuous strain
occasioned by long motor trips when
the driver keeps his foot in the strained
position required by the use of the car
aecelerator.
This position causes a displacement
of the metatarsal bones which in turn
causes them. in motor language, to

The rapidity with which the Ameri-

highway is shown in figures recently
compiled from reports to the United
States bureau of mines. The figures
show that in the last eight years
100000 tons of asphalt and asphaltic
materials have. gone into American
highways quantity sufficient for
$4,000 miles of roads and streets. The
asphaltic treated highways in the
United States, if connected in one

Raps on Harding's English

"That was fine sermon of yours
today, Mr.. Beecher," an admlrer OF
his remarked to Henry Ward Beecher
at the close of a service, but l no.

"Only one?" said Beecher. Il am

YOU would have found a dozen was
Beecher's reply. The reply OF the
meticulous admirer is not recorded.
The rapid-fre work of newspaper
writers does rot or would not stand
close inspection for errors grammatl-
cal and not many such writers indulge
in taking shots at the grammar or
English Of public speakers but now
and then some writer on the order OF
Mr.. Beecher's critic may be found. A
late example is that of the London
Daily Chronicle in its criticism OF
President Harding's first message to
congress. Here is what it says:
The message contains several pas
saees that would cause a shudder IN
academic circles. He describes Amer
lea as lily prepared for wars after
math.' He says she is ready to CO.

or TWO. DR.. J. L. Daniels sermon
was from the text: Behold thy
Mother" That of itself was very
happy and most suitable thought. DR..
Daniel had the undivided attention
of the large congregation from begin
ming to end. as his discourse was full
of many truths entertainingly told.
A tense moment in the delivery of the
sermon was when the preached said,
1T takes very little gift to please
Mother That remark thrilled the
hearts of the wearers Of the flowers,
especially the hearts of the wearers Of
white flowers whose mothers are
the white flowers, whose mothers are
no longer here to receive the little
gifts. In that little remark DR.. Dan
lei has given sons and daughters Of
living mothers something to think
about and we are sure it will bear
fruit. There were many white and
red flowers in the church.
