ROMEO HAD TO HAVE TEA.
Coolie Brings 1t on Stage During Pas
sionate Love Scene.

In the space OF one week lately
came across two most curious tea
episodes, which are typieally eastern.
The first occurred at big fire in the
native city. Great crowds gathered to
see the fun, and stood. as only Chinese
can, with calm, stolid faces waiting for
the next move. They seemed quite as
ready to stand and wait even when
driven beyond view Of the fire by the
strokes of the police baton.
Numbers of busy Chinese fremen
fitting here and there with most bust
nesslike air. Their shining helmets
looked very impressive and matters
seemed 10 be in capable and busy
hands, when, 10, stop-a lull in the
proceedings.
What was this ON wheels that came
as necessary adjunct to fireman's
outfit in Chinag Surely il was new
pump, a Chinese invention to reach
still greater heights and quell the top
most flamesy But mol That eonid not
be what it was.
This vehicle, whose arrival hindered
the flood Of energy and zeal, was no
other than a tea cart.
As it made its appearance the flames
from the burning silk flature were
forgotten and one thought in the
minds of the gallant firemen was
tea.
When the heavy wheels Of the. cart
rolled away one enterprising youth re-
tanned teapot, and he handed this
around for his mates TO have their
pull at the spout.
my second tea incident was OF
much less lurid character. 1t happened
at a Chinese theatre where | was an
onlooker.
The scene was that of passionate
lover and his coquette lass. She 1.-THE
Juliet was sitting at one side of the
stage looking very demure and turn
ing her back slightly TO the adoring
one.
He (Romeo) was attired in long,
loose robes, with venerable white
beard down to his waist.
After some preliminary songs, obvi
ously addressed to the side Of her head
lie fell on one knee and. clasping his
hands, evidently craved her pity in a
most heartrending falsetio.
The fair one turned an inch or two
in his direction. and began a very high
pitched reply to her kneeling adorer.
At this juncture, from one of the
wings of the stage. there came a cool
ie, carryisg a bowl of tea.
He advanced 20 the distraught
kneeling lover, opened the beard in the
middle and gave drink of tea TO Ro-
meo just as he was hearing from
Juliet how she received his advances. /

, of these parts. When buying a com plete car I may buy from any one of a hundred companies. but when buy Ing q part to one of my present cars l must buy Of the company which manufactures the car. Sale of these parts is bringing into the older com panies tremendous income.
 Investors will therefore sac that the automobile business has graduat- ed from the experimental stage and has become a great settled industry, nt least so far ss the older company Is concerned. The good will asset of every business should increase as years 30 on. provided it manufactures honestly a useful product. The older automobile companies, however, DOS sess the additional asset; of being able to sell parts for existing cars.
 Many of these companies could pay their dividends. certainly their preferred dividends, from the profits from sale of parts. If Ford did not manufacture another car he could do q tremendous business for years to come in manufacturing parts for the cars already sold. If the saturation point is ever reached in the automo- bile business, the profits from the re- placements of machines and the sale of parts will still be tremendous.
 Anent Capitalization
 "Of course, new automobile com panies do not possess this asset. Hence, conservative men purchase only the stocks of the older and more stable concerns Wise investors also look carefully to the capitalization. Before buying an automobile stock, divide the capitalization by the an- nual output both. in cars and in dol lars. Certain popular makes of cars are over capitalized, and certain com panies with small outputs have very conservative capitalization. There fore, one should consider both the output and the capitalization. Neith- CT factor by itself is sufficient in judging an automobile stock.
 T want to emphasize particularly" concluded Mir. Babson the fact that the automobile industry is today a permanent industry and that the se- curities of the standard automobile should rank with those of the steel companies.

PURCHASES OF PARTS STABILIZES
 AUTO INDUSTRY, BABS0N ASSERTS

Wsllesley Hills, Mass, June 2l. - Tn discussing the general situation for the week, Roger w. Babson the statis- tician today made the following an- alysis of the automobile industry. Many persons have been surprised at the recent rebound in the automo- bile industry and in the price of auto mobile securities, Those, however who have been carefully watching the situation are not surprised, The prics cut in automobiles developed new buying, tho extension of tho good roads movement increased the point of saturation. and the reduction in the cost of tires and general supplies en- couraged more people to use cars. The man who has never had any car now drives one; and the man who was content with one car now has two or three. No, the xaturation point has not yet been reached. Moreover, as our system of good roads is extended, this saturation point is pushed fur ther and further away. The satura- ton point for automobiles In this country will not be reached until our system of highways has been com pleted and perfected.
 Is Big Factor
 "The great factor. however, which is today making business for the au- tomobile companies is the silent and insistent purchasing power of parts" by the present users of cars People have no idea of the tremendous busi- ness existing today in automobile parts. It is generally estimated that about ten billion dollars is invested in automobiles and their accessories. It Is further estimated that a man spends about s per cent a year on repairs and that large proportion of this is for new parts. This means that from three hundred to four hundred dollars of automobile business per year exists in the manufacture and sale of new parts for cars al- ready sold. Not only is this 2 large amount of money. but there is as much net profit in this business as in double or treble the same amount of automobile business. Yf you have any doubt of this take the parts" cata- log for any car and add up what 1t would cost to buy all of the parts of the car separately Not only are the getting high prices for these parts, but there is practically 10 expense connected with the selling

UnnOted Great Mo-
n,ents of History

WE rarely realize the great
" moments until long after,
W when they stand out
calm, wondrous and luminant in
the perspective of history.
One hundred years ago this
very year a Frenchman named
Niepce obtained the first perma-
nent results in photography on
a compound sensitive bitumen of
Judea. 1t was to science what
the adding of a new note to the
octave would be to music. 1t
opened up infinite new possibili-
ties, unbounded new combina-
tions.
Every science, art and indus
try has felt the wizardry of reve-
lation of the Photographic eye.
United with the telescope it has
commanded the countless mil
lions of stars to reveal their
secret. Welded to the micro
scope it has revealed teeming
worlds in the infinitesimally
little. 1t has co-operated with
every scientific instrument in
opening up wide vistas of
knowledge.
In this centennial year Niepce
has a greater memorial in the
hearts Of men than the stone
monument in his honor near
Chalons, France.
