konecny in his numbers showed
himselfto be truly violinist of prom
1nence. His opening number 'tBo
hemian Airs" by Smetana, was espe
c1ally noteworthy. This extremely
difficult and rapid composition was
sklllfully played. Konecny possesses
the dramatic quality to a great degree
and seeks to produce as much life ant
spirit as possible in his selections. His
principal asset therefore appears to be

Birds and Animals
Turned Into Humans

Australian natives tell queer stories
of creation, each tribe having differ
emit legend. One tribe says that in the
beginning the earth opened up in the
midst Of Perigundi Lake and various
birds and animals came out.
They lay down in the sun to be FIN
ished" into human beings by its rays.
When the finishing process was over
they got up and walked away.
Another tribe says that before man
was made a tribe of magical creatures
known as "Mura-muras," lived on the
earth. While one of these was hunting
kangaroo the animal hoped out OF
sight.
Paralina, as the hunter was called,
asked some old women where it had
gone. but they lied to him, as they
had killed it.
He became angry, and seeing some
half-finished bodies lying on the
ground he Strengthened he straight
ened out their limbs, blew in their
ears so they could hear, and rammed
some clay down their their threats,
and clear through their bodies, to
make them stiff. These then became
men and he continued to make more
men and women.

Soap in China

The United States Bureau of For
eign Commerce is anxious to procure
the introduction of American soaps in
China
Unfortunately, soap is relatively I'M
familiar to the 4OO,OOO,OO0 of poppula-
l ton in that country, and they need to
be educated in its use. If this could
be accomplished the opportunity would
be enormous. But so far as laundry
soap is concerned, the Chinese house
wife adheres to the old custom or
washing her clothes in the village
pond or creek, where they receive a
hard beating over stone at the edge
of the water and sort Of tallow de-
rived from soap beans serves as
detergent.
This tallow is obtained by chopplng
the bean pods very fine and grinding
them to paste 1t is largely used by
the women as cosmetic, and the ma
tive BARRIERS apply it as salve to the
heads of their customers.
- There seems to be better chance
for the introduction of toilet soaps in
China. Put up in fancy boxes, they
are in great demand among the higher
class Chinese. Some American brands

Check on Truck
Drivers

When the owner of truck rerie-
senting an outlay of several thousand
dollars, turns it over to the tender
mercies of a driver, much depends
upon The latter whether the truck is a
source of profit to the owner or a
loss. If the outfit is employed con-
stantly there will be balance to it's
credit, whereas the driver may spend
considerable portion of his time in
loafing about some inviting spot, but
the interest on investment goes on
just the same and the truck shows
dead loss.
This condition of affairs is remedied
now by the use of a little device
which makes an accurate report of
the movements of the vehicle during
the day. The report gives such in
formation as the machine number,
drivers number, date and exact time,
mileage and miscellaneous data about
loading, changing of tires, taking gaso-
line and oil, etc.
Each driver is provided with an
Identification key bearing his number.
This key must be inserted in the truck
auditor before it is possible for him
to take his opening statement or to
start the engine. He then turns the
knurled knob at the right, which prints
the opening statement, locks the key
in the machine and allows the motor
to be started. If the driver wishes to
remove the key a closing statement
must be printed, and comparison OF
the two statements reveals the time
and reason for leaving the truck.
When the truck is stopped for any
reason and the fact recorded, auto
matically the engine is cut off and an
other print must be taken to start it.
The record thus made shows the time
that the truck was stopped and the
automatic stopping of the engine ef-
fects a great saving.
