TALY'S ROAD SIGNS.

The Italian Touring Club has de-
vised a system OF simple signs to
guide the motorist touring the Ital-
ian highways. The signs are drawn
so as to show dangerous points, di-
rections or roads and churches and
schoolhouses along the way.

By an arrangement like that Of

front and rear seats of the automo-
bile could be raised and locked 50

Such an automobile would OBJ
viously be cumbersome and slower
than that of the present, but the
comfort it would afford is worth
more than speed and a sleek ap-
pearance.

BRAKE ROD SILENCER.

A simple way to stop the brake
rod from rafting is to slip a fairly
stiff coil spring over the clevis, as
shown. One end of the spring
presses against the lever arm,
while the other is held back by the
lock nut on the brake rod. This
takes up the lost motion on the
brake rod.

II fled to Rome, where he succeeded
IN marrying a strikingly beautiful
woman and changed his name TO
Count C~agliostro."
His first venture on a large scale
was the invention Of an "ellxIr of
life Of which he sold many thousand
bottles at fabulous prices and, in order
to prove the value of his own medi-
cine, claimed to be more than 1000
years old and to have been present at
the time Of the c%ruclfxlon, which he
described with a wealth Of detail omit
ted from the Scriptures. At that
time there was much talk Of the
Wandering Jew" and many persons
believed that Cagliostro was none
other than this pers0nage-a belief
which the Sicllian took care to foster
whenever possible.
When the success Of the "elixir Of
life" appeared to be imperiled by the
death Of a number Of persons who had
taken 1t, Cagllostro hit upon the
scheme Of organizing Masonic lodges
for women, claiming that he was OF
divine origin and had received a spe-
cial mission to perform this work upon
earth-a statement which naturally
endeared him to a number of women
of sufficient wealth to assist him in
the accomplishment Of his other
schemes, which included the making
Of diamonds and precious stones and
the transmutatlon OF base metals into
gold.
BY virtue of his various impositions,
CagllOstro was able to accumulate a
large amount Of money and, when he
decided to move the headquarters Of
his influence to France, it was a mat
ter Of only a few days before he be-
came the most talked Of man In Paris.

Europe, in the tragic affair of the dla.

implicated, including the italian him
self, who was imprisoned in the Bas-

and ordered to leave France.
After drifting about Europe for a
number Of years, the prince Of lmpos-
tors finally returned to Rome and was
condemned by the pope to life i'm
prisonment as q dangerous foe to re-
ligion, dying in a papal dungeon on
August 26, 1895, after having duped
all Europe, prince and priest and
peasant alike. But, apart from Gag
llostro's strange and almost hypnotic
influence over practically everyone
with whom he came in contact, there
are a number of mysteries concerning
the man which have never been ex-

SIMPLE FUNERAL FORU. S. SENATOR
 BOlES PENROSE

Philadelphia, Jan. 2-Arrange-
 ments for the funeral of Senator Penrose, who died in Washington late Saturday night, were still incom- piete today, It was definitely decld- ed. however. that it would be strict 1y private, in accordance with his oft- expressed wish. In making this an nouncement, Leighton C. Taylor, for many years the senator's private sec retary, said that only members of the family and close friends would at tend the services and that congress sional delegation probably would not come here for the burial.
 The date for the interment would be fixed, it was said, after hearing from relatives in the west
 Meanwhile the body encased in a metallic coffin. covered with purple cloth, lay in his bachelor home here No crepe or flowers marked the pres ence of death in the old fashioned brick house where from sick bed he had conferred by telephone with President Harding.
 His every wish for simplicity has been respected.
 Senator Penrose. one of the most interesting personalities In the Up- per House, which he entered in 1897, as thet successor to the late Senator J, Donald Cameron. was one of the wea1thiest bachelors. in the Senate. An '+Old Guard" Republican, he was member of four important Senate committees. namely. the Enhance Committee, of which he was chair man: Banking and Currency 1m- migration and Naval Affairs.
 Until his death, he never lost pres tige as the leader of his party dn his own state, Blunt at all times. but with a reputation that could be trust ed In a political deal, Senator Pen rose made fast friends and 1rrecon- eflabla enemies, The latter often charged him with representing the interests"
 Senator Penrose was an early ad- vocate of United States intervention in Mexico and in 1919 introduced resolution requesting that American troops be sent into the republic south of the Rio Grande. He was an un- viehing opponent of the Wilson Ad- rninistration and particularly or the draft of the Treaty of Pence as sub mitted to the Senate by President Wilson.
 He was. perhaps, the largest man physically, in the Senate. standing six feet four inches in height ana weighing close to 800 pounds. He traced his ancestry back for more than 500 years and in his veins How. ed the blood of some of the most American families The family is related to the Pennsylvania Riddles, the Maryuand Chews and Thomases and the Massa- cbnsetts Dudley and Botes families The elder Botes aided in building the Frea stworzs for the battle of Bunker Hill
