has multiplied the wiring-has
added many wires to the car-and
its numerous regulators and other
instruments are bound to need ad-
Justing occasionally. The extra
care involved and the unusual
troubles which are apt to happen
give the driver who has a self
starter an added responsibility. And
when things go wrong which he
cannot fix himself, of course II is
necessary to call in that automo-
bile plumber known as an expert
automotive mechanic.
- me More Extra Duties
Consider also the extra duties in
caring for a car with more than
four cylinders. Instead OF having
eight valves to grind. the driver
may have as many as twenty four,
and n the double valve idea Is car
ried far enough, he might have as

they are not readily accessible. In

to dismanle the engine, and in
others the valves may be reached
to remove them only by removing
the mud guard.
Motor car drivers used to operate
their lights with ker,sene. The
electric light Is a modern conven-
fence on an automobile as well as
in a home. Electricity has brought
other modern conveniences to the
auto. There are electric warmers,
electric horns and even electric
cigar lighters in some limousines
The old cars had nothing on the
dash but the ignition switch with
one wire leading to the magnetic.
Now there are hundreds of wires
and pipes attached to the dash and
the other side of the dash fronting
the driver is filled with dials and
gauges and switches almost with
out number.
These are all in the class of
modern conveniences which add to
the comfort of the motorist But
to a certain extent they also add
to the worries of the driver. Just
as the home owner pays the price
of the comforts of bath tubs and
modern plumbing when the plum
ber's bill comes in, so the owner
of a car with all of the modern
conveniences pays the price of the
added comfort secured. In other
words he finds 1T necessary either

MARCH ADVOCATED
2DD,0)O-MAN ARMY
Ex-Chief of Staff's Report
Warns Against Cut to Pres
ent Strength of 10000.

Warning against a permanent re-
duction of the Regular Army below
100000 enlisted men is sounded in
| the last annual report of Maj. Gen.
Peyton G. March. now retired, war
! time chief of staff of the Army. The
report covers the twelve-month
period preceding the generals retire
ment from the post of chief of Sta:
| on last July l. when he was s-aaceed43
by Gen. Pershing, with Maj. CO
Harbord as deputy chief of staff.
Warns OF "Grave Danger"
Gen. March declares in his report
that the idea that an Army OF 10000
! men. the strength now authorized by
mandate of Congress. furnishes -
per cent as much national defense
as a force Of 100000 lis a fallacy.'
Gen. March asserts that now that
| the war has been won there is grave
danger" that the American people
will lose sight of 'the fortunate es-
cape from indescribabIe calamity that
ordinarily Is the fruit of unprerared-
ness" Let 1t not be forgotten, he
adds. that it required seventeen
months for the United States to put
an Independent Army in the field in
France, and asks what would have
happened had France required SO long
time to put into line the first fight
ing unit.
"And yet We hear" he says, "a
million men can spring to arms over
night"
Urges Unfversal Training.
Turning to the question of univer-
sal military training. the general says
that IF that portion of the manhood
of the nation which would serve with
the colors in time of war could appre-
ciate what it means when unframed
men must be hurried into battle they
probably would vote overwhelmingly
for the training in time of peace that
would fit them for their duties in war
and would insure them a decent
chance for their lives on the field of
battle

WATER CURES" OLD BELIEF
In Both Ancient and Modern Days Fountains Have Been Considered
 Pools of Healing.

When you drink mineral water do you do 1t because you believe In us curative properties or because you are superstitious? Or both?
 Extraordinary virtue has been at' tributed to the waters of pools ana streams by nearly all peoples of all times. Among the modern Greeks to- day we find the remnants of the old belief that the water from the Grotto of Macedonia would cure all those who drank if they entered the cave with a lamp or torch in one hand and pitcher in the other filled the pitch CT and left some scrap of clothing be- hind, going silently and not turning back from being scared by the noises that enSued." And not only in Greece, but in England, there are many spots where the bushes around certain pool will be hung thick with shreds of clothing left by those who came to be cured
 According to modern Greeks the mineral springs are under the prOtec- tion of the Nereids, and the virtue of the water depends upon it being drunk in silence and with appropriate sacri- flee. Old Church of England caQons dating back to HOP forbid the Wor- ship of wells without the bishops per mission attributing the custom to heathenshnesS and survival of the worship of the fountain as a symbol of the source of life. It was pointed as old as the days of the Patriarchs; that Abraham and Isaac are both spoken of in the Bible as having done so. but that worshipping them was a different matter.

Historic Stratford-on Avon.

The history of Stratford-on-Avon may be traced back for a period of HOO years, and as the birthplace of Shakespeare is has become a classic center visited annually by some 50,000 people. The Guard house, where Shakespeare was born ShOttery, where he courted Anne Hathaway; 1; Charlotte park, once the seat of Sir Thomas Lucy, whose dspleasure Shakespeare incurred by stealing his deer; the Shakespeare Memo. rial theater, on the banks of the Avon, and ShakeSpeare's monument, are all places worthy of visiting in the old market town of Stratford-On-Avon.
 The Shakespeare hotel, situated in the center of the town and close to the Shakespeare Memorial theater, was erected in the Fourteenth cen tury. A few doors from Shakespeare hotel is the Harvard House. which was the early home of the Harvard family founders of Harvard univer- ;ity.

Frozen Death
e. 1920, by The Wheeler syndicate)


 Look back over the city's death records for the past six months and then ask Dr. Albert Beaurigard why it is that fifteen prominent citizens have died from cholera and yellow fever when there has been no epi- demic Ask him why these men died within . few days after dining at his house."
 Th.s vas the anonymuuS 'e,ter that led the chief of police of HJenos Aires best men, to the case which was destined to become unique in criminal annals.
 It was true that q number of men who were prominent in the life of the city-bankers and lawyers and doc tors-had died within the period men, tioned in the unsigned communica- tion. But in every case the attending physicians had given certificates of death from natural causes. In fact, as PoEteras pointed out to his chief, there had been autopsies on three of tllt ubistC~y DuI 6NtiI iiicSt ItONI-illOl- tenn examinations disclosed nothing out of the ordinary.
 T know all that" retorted the chief of police, but the charges made in this letter are too grave to overlook if only for the sake of Doctor Beauri- gard'S reputation. It is unthinkable that a scientist of his standing a member of the Ecole de Medicine, a man who is mentioned as the logical successor to Koch. should he con- nected with these deaths. Besides, what would be his motive?'
 Professional jeaIousy?" hazarded Porteras
 Possibly, but that's hardly prob able"
 Before tackling the question of the letter Itself, Porteras dug back into the history of the fifteen men who had died of cholera and yellow fever In no case did he find any reason which would explain theip murder, any motive for removing them.
 What Porteras did fnd however, was a support for the allegation of the anonymous writer. Each of the dead men had been a guest at the Beaurigard home only few days be- fore their death. Less than twenty. fo1r hours later they developed symp tons of the dread disease.
 Armed with this information, tho detective started his search for tht man who had written the note Dis guised as book agent, Porteras sue eeeded in securing samples of the handwriting of a number of persons who were known to be friendly with Doctor Beaurigard. but none of these showed the distinct characteristics which were apparent even in the al- tered penmanship of the letter to the police. It was not until he came away from the Reaurigard home with sam pies of the servants handwriting that he found what he had been looking for.
 The following morning Buenos Aires was startled by the news of the arrest of Dr. Albert Beaurigard, the foremost physician in South Amer ica, on a charge of murder.
 During the days which preceded his trial, the scientist preserved an air of total nonchalance, appearing oblivious of the fact that he was about to be tried for his life and contenting him. self with the issuance of statements that the whole matter was too ab- surd to be considered seriously" So numerous were his friends end P
