Crystal, sphere, plane, staff. band

mental functional forms Of the whole
world. These suffice for every process
of evolution toward the construction
of every perfectly adapted shape, OF
every individual optimum. All existing
substances must be based on these
seven fundamental shapes, as nature
has not produced any others; let the
human mind create what il will. il can
only achieve variations of these seven
forms; il cannot get beyond them.

constructive parts Of the world.

no man can escape the effects OF
advertising even if he does say

Not one of us ever reasoned
out entirely from his own mind
that the earth is round. If we
had not read it or heard it we

MIX.UP OF AUTO LICENSE
NUMBERS GOT THEIR GOAT

question as to the cars license number
came up: one of the party contended
that the number was 6l-1l6 and an
other would claim it was 6l-16l. Every
time the question arose the car was
stopped and either the front or the
rear tag was inspected. OF course one
of the contestants was right and the
other. wrong. That settled ths matter
for a time but again would the ques-
ton come up, with the same demon
stration as to who was right. No less
than three times did the question arise,
and finally all parties interested began
to feel rather uncanny about the ques-
ton always being a question and never
satisfactorily settled with all members
of the family.

and another to the rear and each OF
them called the number read to third
party in the car; then was the cause
of the question discovered.
An assembler at the tag factory had
placed two tags bearing the same
figures, but differently arranged, in
the envelope.
Fortunately that car had no trou-
BILE while carrying the two numbers,
but If it had, possibly some other auto
owner, ca>~ying one or both OF those
numbers, might have gotten Into trou-
BILE difficult of adjustment. Or the
other owner might have gotten this one
| into trouble in the same way.
When the conuty clerk learned of
this IniNup, he looked up his records
and then called up another autoist
who the books show has one OF those
two numbers. but he maintained
possibly without actual comparison of
flgures-that his two tags weTs the
same.
Moral: Place your two tags together
and carefully compare them before
separating to attach to the front and
rear of your car.

"Supposin " that an automobile
runs into you and you are seriously
injured, but as the car speeds away
as you lie in the street, you catch the
license tag number on the rear and
have the party arrested who owns the
car. and when you get into court the
party you have arrested proves by a
number Of witnesses that his car was
not within hundred miles of the
scene of the accident at the time.
then what would you think?
The wife of a well known corporation
manager carried the number 61-716
on the front of her car. and the num-
Der 61-161 on the rear; the same figures

that happiness in marriage will
