IN SWEDEN

Stockholm, May 1S.77Motor traffic in
Sweden has now become so general

levied on a motorcycle without side
car; 20 Nronor on motorcycle with
side car: eight kronor for every 100
kilos (22O pounds each) Of weight OF
ordinary motor cars with rubber tires;
so kronor per 100 kilos for cars and
trucks with non-rubber tires.
The proposed tax on automobiles
will net the state about 100000

Bobbed hair is only fad, and will die out next

Twenty years ago, when women were slaves to

THE RUSSO.GERMAN TREATY

The signing of the Russo German treaty will
assist him (Mr Lloyd George) in his work of sub
|stituting concert for the present military die
itatorshp. Hitherto the supreme council has sys-
dramatically talked and behaved as if Germany
were criminal whose destiny the Allies had the
moral right to dictate without asking for the con-
sent of the German people. 1t has also behaved
las if the Russian government was an outlaw which
the rest of Europe had right to exterminate, no
matter whether the Russian people did or did not
agree with the condemnation. But Germany and
Russia are the two most populous and latently
powerful nations of Europe; and if their govern
|ments were to be treated as criminals and out
laws, the project of organizing European concert
became fantastic absurdty. The first step in
the direction Of a concert was consequently to
abandon the policy of ostracism and to invite them
ito a conference in which they would sit at least
nonnally, the equals of the victors in the war.
The next equally indispensable step was some as
sertion of independence and self-respect on their
part, some unequivocal testimony of their refusal

WOULD YOU DO IT?

Earl Willard, young shoe-factory worker at
Brockton, Mass, has one of the strangest jobs in

. Seven years ago, a woman in his factory caught
her hair in betting that dragged her into piece
of machinery AS an act of mercy, to replace the
woman's lost scalp, Willard gave "a square inches
Of his skin, for grating purposes.
1t dawned On him, thAat here was an opportunity
to make pocket-money on the side.
Since then, Willard has sold 81 inches of his
skin at 81 square inch, and eight pints of his
blood for TRANSMISSION at $25 pint.
Primarily, his purpose is humanitarian
+ But it reveals that many opportunities, often
Of peculiar nature, are lying around loose in the
world waiting to be discovered by sharp eyes that
sense their possibilities.

ing and selling of meteors and regularly issues
price lists on various grades and qualities,
It will interest you to know that enough
metecrs fall on our earth each year to make their
collection and sale profitable. D. & 49,
Still more interesting is that some one had suf-
fcent vision to see the unexplored opportunity in
the meteor business.
Compasses were always getting out of order on
Great Lake ships, causing no. end Of inconvenl-
ence, delay and accidents
Frank Morrison, then young man, saw in the
situation great opportunity. He studied COM
passes, became an expert with them.
Soon he had built up big business in Cleve-
land as "the only compass maker on the chain OF
lakes" with steady trade at repairing, inspect
ing and overhauing the needle devices that point
north to the magnetic pole.
Along our seacoasts, four or five other men
have carved their way to comfortable fortunes
