The Flavor Lasts
Intelligence Tests.

Are you intelligent? If so, the fol-
lowing mental exercises will gauge the
extent. Get somebody to take out his
watch and tell him when q minute has
expired. OF course, you must not resort
to any such dodge as counting the sec
cnds. And you must talk, and be
talked to, during the test. II you
guess the very second the first time

short was the most nearly correct first
attempt among our acQuaintances.
Thirty seconds short was the worst at
tempt. The mistake Is nearly always
On the same side-the guessers think
the minute is up before 1t Is. An
other excellent test is: Not looking at
your watch, hold 1t to a mirror. and
from the face Of the watch reflected
therein try to tell the time. 1t sounds
easy, but 1t isn't.

FARMER AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Make Farm Only q
Suburb and Land Has Increased
Greatly in Value.

The biggest booster for good roads
In the country today is the farmer
A few years ago he felt that the pOr-
ton of his taxes used in the cOnStruc-
tion of permanent highways repre-
sented a benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner
The farmer argued that he was pay
ing for their pleasures, and the result
was superstition against the good
roads movement, which, unfortunately,
has not as yet been entirely overcome
in some sections of the country.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled in val
ue; when the merchandise for which
he has telephoned in the morning can
be delivered by noon of the same day;
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer; when the
winter and it's following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-all this
because of the improved highway
which makes his farm only a suburb,
as it were, of the nearest clty-he
naturally becomes Woodworking
and hard-voting enthusiast for good
rOads.-Leslie's.

The Seismoqraph.

There is little instrument-or per-
naps it's q big one; at any rate, 1T Is
little in comparison with its job-that
has a field all its own and that knows
not sentiment. Its scientific name is
the "seismograph." When gigantic
cataclysm in the earth's crust over
whelms some city and sends thou
sands homeless into the fields, 1t re-
cords the fact with mercilessly cold
methodicity. At such times 1t Is alb
solutely inhuman In its devotion to
the bald scientific. It worries about
the cause Of disaster; bothers itself
not a whit about effect. Then, having
exhibited it's callousness, 1t goes to
sleep, perhaps has a cOnscience-smit-
ten dream and suddenly wakes up to
prove to US all, or some of US. that We
have wholly unsuspected cause for
thankfulness. In this mood It's about
the only thing on earth able and will
ing to impart that impossible piece OF
knowledge-what we missed.

Mexico City.-George T. Summerlin,
the American charge d'affaires, who
recently returned here from Washing

it was explained his visit was merely

The conference between President

Paris.-The first official step toward
solution of the Upper Silesian prob
lem was taken at special session OF
the council Of ambassadors when that
body instructed the plebiscite commits
sion at Oppeln to make unanimous
proposals for splitting the disputed
territory into three portions, one to be
administered and occupied militarily
by Germany. another by Poland and
the third to be made into a neutral
zone under an allied commission.
The action of Paul CambOn, the
French member of the ambassadors
council, in agreeing to the scheme,
marks the beginning of French ac-
ceptance of a compromise plan, which
when presented by the British and
supported by the Italians, they re-
jected.
The ambassadors met following
telegram from Col. Percival, the Brit
ish member of the inter-allied plebis
cite commission, and Gen. de Mari
siani, the Italian member. Gen. Ie-
rOnd. the French representative, add
ed a cOdcil explaining that he was not
able to concur because the French
government had previously rejected
similar offer.
The telegram announced that the
sole solution of the problem could not
only be reached through the creation
of three zones, permitting the Germans
and Poles to occupy regions where
they had received majOrities and per-
hitting the allies to concentrate pO-
licing troops in the third disputed re-
giOn in sufficient numbers to main
tain order in the entire region until
the question was solved.
The fact that NJ. CambOn concurred
in the instructions sent to Opplen gives
rise to a belief that Gen. LenrOd must
have indorsed his Italian and British
colleagues proposals, though certain
quarters insist he would rather have
resigned than submit to such a course.
1t is expected the status Of Upper
Silecia will be left thus until the SUI
preme council meets at BOulOgne in
an attempt to solve the problem.

BOY SERIOUSLY INJURED
WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO

Richard Brawner, 8 year old
grandson of Mrs. Emma Hudson, of
this city, was seriously injured
when an automobile driven by Will
liam Afford Davidson, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Davidson, run against
him at about $3.50 Sunday after
noon. The boy had been out walk
ing with Mrs. Horace Pendleton
and his aunts, Misses Edna and An
ma Hudson, and the ladies were sit
ting on the stacks of saw logs near
the depot while he was playing Just
across the street.
The street between the logs and
the railroad is exceedingly narrow
and seeing a car approaching along
the narrow passage one of the la
dies called to the boy to cross the
street and then seeing that the auto
was too near she told him not to
cross. While the little fellow was
hesitating the fender of the car
struck him and those who were
present seem to be uncertain as to
whether or not the car passed over
his body. His right leg was broken
about three inches above the knee
and a good sized cash cut in the
back of his head.
Besides the driver his little broth
er was in the car, and they were so
excited that instead of placing the
injured boy in the car and taking
him home or to a physician they
motOred on up town but later secur-
ed physicians A. B. Riley and
H. H. Pendleton, who dressed the
injuries, after the boy had been
hauled home in a buggy. He was
getting along reasonably well at the
hour of going to press.

Underground CATHEDRAL
RIVAlIEG MAMMOTH CAVE
Contains HumanSkeIetOn Which
Authorities Say is That OF
Ab0riginie

Munfordsville, Ky. Jan. 29.--In
newly discovered galleries human
skeleton was discovered Monday in
the great Crystal Cave in Hart
county. A great underground ca
thedral which, it is said, will rival
the wonders OF Mammoth Cave, was
discovered coincident with the dis
covery of the bones.
An avenue half mile long, al
most as level as a boulevard, was
found by the explorers. Here a
dome rises 200 feet above the bed
of the cave. 1t was on a terraced
ledge above the floor of the newly
discovered gallery that the skeleton
was uneartbed from beneath a pile
of drift.
Floyd Collins, on whose farm the
cave was found three years ago, dis
covered the skeleton and subter-
ranean galleries.
Overturning a huge boulder which
blocked the passageway, he thrust
torch into the aperture and crawled
through into great passageway
and there found the bones.
A Cave City doctor pronounced
the skeleton that of an Aborigine,
perhaps race that preceded the
Indians in Kentucky. No white
man is believed to have ever before
traversed the grotto.
The newly discovered avenue has
been named Anyx avenue by the
citizens of Cave City who have Wis.,
tied the place in crowds.
Many miles of smaller avenues
which may disclose new wonders
have not yet been traversed.
The cave is about eleven miles
from Cave City and is near Green
river. 1t is nine miles from the
main entrance Of Mammoth Cave,
but is believed to be a distinct cav
ern.

MEXICAN Dams BREAK
100 LOSE LIVES
Many OF the Deaths Are Caused
By Drinking the Poisoned
Water
Virgil Grove

Mexico. City, Jan. 2l.-More
than 100 persons were drowned,
and 200 Others injured in Il disas-
ter at Pachuca when two dams
about the city broke and torrents
o. water swept through this big
mining center.
! One thousand were rendered
homeless. Several mines were
iooded and it is believed the death
list Will be added to considerably
when the shafts are cleared. The
dams that held back the water were
used in the chemical treatment of
ores and many deaths were due to
the victims being poisoned by swal-
lowing this water.
a singular feature of the disas-
ter was that the two dams broke
eimultanousiy. The reason has not
been di5cogered.
Most of Pachuca's scores of mines
are on high level, but four of
them on lower level were i'm
flooded while the men
were working in them.
