Dear Aunt Polly: What is the
best kind of automobile ever made?
IN. M.
Dear N. M: Trying to name the
best" in anything usually brings
trouble. Long, long ago. SO the
story goes, three goddesses took
notion they wanted some one to
say who was the most beautiful.
And when Paris, who was just
human being, made the decision,
he made the rejected two very an
CRY, of course. And that started
long and terrible war, called the
Trojan war OF course, there
would not be a war If | tried to
say which is the very best kind of
an automobile, but really / do not
think that has ever been decided
Some kinds are especially good
speedsters, some hill climbers,
some can stand a longer period of
steady use, some take less gaso-
line, some are lighter and more cas-
lily handled, some have more pow
erful engines than others, and
some are better for the price than
other cars offered for the same
price. Marmon, Packard, Pierce Ar
row and StutZ cars stand very high
as American-made cars. Very fine
cars, it is said. are made in France
and Italy. and several very good
cars, the Davis and the Pilot are

Ford ranks very high as low

however, | do not think has ever
been voted upon.-Aunt Polly.
Dear Aunt Polly: What is the
most precious stone there is?-N.M,
Dear N. M: Beyond all doubt,
so says the book / asked about
your question, the most precious
stone is the ruby Such fun as |
had reading that book! 1t told so
many, many stories-old. old stor-
les about precious jewels. | knew
that in Arabian Nights and Alladin,
and, oh, so many, many fairy stor
les, jewels played an important
part, but | did not know what ro-
mantle lives jewels led until / be-
gan to read this book and think
about 1t. Stories are told about
the ruby as long ago as 500 b. c..
and they probably were regarded
as precious long. long before that.
Ancients thought of the ruby as the
symbol of everything that is most
precious. The idea is proved by
the use of it as word to describe
precious in old legends
and history, as, for example, 1t is
very often used in the Old Tesla
ment. The ruby. which perhaps
has the best liked shade of red, is
he pigeon blood ruby, which comes
from Burma, India. One of the
finest pigeon blood rubies ever
seen is the Gnaga Boh or the
Dragon Lord. which weighed 70
carats when cut. This stone was
given to an old Hindu king. SO the
story goes. Another story is told
If king of Bermu who had per
'ectly cut ruby the size of pig
cons egg which he wore as an ear
drop. Wouldn't you liked to have
seen him and the ruby? l would

MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development of Industry in That
Country Makes it Second Only
to the United States.

The production of motion pictures,
SAYS the United States commerce re-
pert, is an industry for which phNsl-
cal conditions in Italy and the Italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable,
and consequently this branch of activi.
ty early attained high degree OF de-
velopment. Italy now claims to rank
second to the United States among
the nations of the world in the manu-
featuring Of motion pictures. An idea
of the importance of this industry in
the economic life of the country can
be derived from the fact that the work
ing capital employed is now estimated
at 300 100000 lire and the actual capl-
tai invested at 100000 GOO lire. There
are eighty-two companies engaged in
the production of films, of which the
greater number are, located at Rome,
which naturally presents unusual ad-
vantages from. the scenic standpoint.
The annual production of new films
in Italy has reached 100000 meters,
and if it is estimated that forty copies
are made from each negative the total
of printed films is 64,00000O meters.

Bathing and Health.

The Hebrews, Hndus and Moham-
medans, as a part of their religion,
are required to Keep the body clean
by frequent additions and baths and
this has had far-reaching effect up
on the iealthfulness of those people.
When the Roman empire fell, the mag
nificent system of baths. which it's
people had and used for cleanliness
of body. soon lapsed into decay. Only
in Spain. under the MoOrs. was the
system OF bathing kept up. There, to
conform to the religious rites of Is
lam, luxurious baths were maintained,
but when the MOors were expelled the
misguided pious people RACED to the
ground these remnants OF heathenism.
