Polly lost the rest of his sentence.
Back and yet farther back she slipped
over the roof. She had never heard
anything so dreadful as this. In fact.
she had always quite liked pigs. but
she had never thought of comparing
the shanty or Granny Hope and Daddy
Hopkins to barnyard and Its occu-
pants.
She heard the men ride away; and
once more she sat up by raising her

TEST REVEALS LARGE
TIRE NOT DANGEROUS
Widespread Belief Of Peril
Shown to Be Erroneous.
Big English Vehicle Run Over Sharp
ened Spike Making Perfect Blow
Out, But No Damage Done
except to Tire.

One way to overcome a prejudice is
to remove II. The Introduction Of
the large size pneumatic tire for bus
ses In England. was hedged In by
many difficulties because of wide
spread belief that the use of these
tires was dangerous
In case OF blow out, men argued,
the tremendous conclusion of the es-
Gaping air would thrust the car of
the roadway. The difference In height
between the two sides OF the car after
one tire had been debated would be
so great as to threaten to over-turn
the vehicle, was another argument.
Pedestrians standing near might be
blown from their feet by the force Of
the escaping air from the tire, 1t was
said. The driver. himself. might even
be In danger, In case OF blowout
while the car was travelling ut rapid
speed. -
To meet this situation, e. r. Pres
ton, managing director OF an English
tire company. In cooperation with two
Of the leading motor journals Of the
country. devised unique test. "we'll
stage a blowout Of n tire while the
car Is In notion" said Preston. "You
can go along and see what happens"
A narrow and rutty dirt road out
side Of London. was selected for the
test. A heavy plank was imbedded In
the roadway. fitted up with big iron
spike, sharpened to razor edge and
set so that II would strike the tire
at an angle just outside OF the tread.
When all was set, big bus, In which
rode the representatives of the two
motor journals, came flying down the
road at 30 to 35 miles an hour speed.
AS the big sharpened spike struck the
side Of the tire 1t ripped jagged
hole through carcass and tube. It
was a perfect blowout. The tire was
completely fiat within Is feet. But
no damage had been done except to
the tire itself.
The men riding the car felt only q
very slight Jolt as the car struck the
lmpedlment. Examination Of the sur
face Of the road Immediately after.
showed that there was no perceptibla
lurching Of the truck from the road.
The wheels carried through straight
ahead. There was no relaxing OF the
car. Examination afterwards showed
that one wheel stood about an Inch
and quarter below the other as the
result q the tire being Debated. q

ward correcting the erroneous impress

frown faded from Pollyop's brow as
she gazed wonderingly upon him. She
marked his flashing glances that
swept the Silent City. She noted with
strange little thrill the beauty Of the
clearcut features. the full, kindly
mouth and the smooth, tanned skin.
Marcus Mackenzie was speaking
rapidly, and though Polly could not
hear what he said, she knew he was
talking Of the squatters. Then words
that made her tingle with JOY came
distinctly to her ears.

cHAPT Err n.

About the time Polly Hopkins began
to repair the shack roof, Evelyn Rob-
ertson came into the room where her
mother sat reading. THE girl was
dressed to 60 out and was drawing a
pair Of gloves over her ringed fingers.
"Where are you going, Ever" in
qulred the lady. "It seems to me that
you're running out altogether too
much. There's your piano! You
haven't practiced In months. Now
don't blame me. Eve, II, when Marcus
asks you to play, you fall fat"
A dull red ran into the girls cheeks,
but she made no reply as she
smoothed the wrinkles from her
gloves.
"The good Lord knows" continued
the mother irritably, that I've kept at
you enough. Now Marc and Robert
are home, how are you going to enter
tain themf Men demand so much"
The experiences of the past two
years had taught Evelyn that lesson.
1t had been demand, demand and more
demanding ever since. on girllsh I'M

Bennett.
"And you heard what Marcus said
last night about the Silent City folks"
went on Mrs. Robertson. "What you
want of that Hopkins girl l don't un-
derstand. Marcus says her father is
the most dangerous man among the
lot of them, and the girl herself is

COMPANY
 ID INCREASE
 CAPITAL STOCK

Accompanying the quarterly dfva- dend checks of the Southern New England Telephone Company which are being sent out on Jan. 14 is the call for the annual meeting of the stockholders of that company for Tuesday, Feb. z, at 2 D. m.
 The chief item of business, other than the election of directors, will be to autho orize an increase in capital stock. The capital stock of the com pany as authorized by the General Assembly of Connecticut is twenty million dollars, of which fifteen mill lion dollars has been issued from time to time by the Board of Directors un- der authority of the stockh olders. The Board of Directors now recom- mends that the stockholders at the annual meting on Feb. authorize the issue of the remaining five million dollars when and in such manner as shall seem to the Board of Directors to be for the best interest of the company.
 James T. Moran, president of the company, states that at the organiza- ton meeting of the Board of Direct ors immediately following the annual meeting of the stockholders no action will be taken in reference to an issue of additional capital stock of the company. He added however that this matter would doubtless come up for consideration by the board in the early spring.

ARMS CONFERENCE OF ADVANTAGE
 TO EDUCATION

Tokio, Jan.14-The Educational As sociation of Japan which claims to have the support of 100000 teachers throughout the country regards the Washington conference most oppor- tune and sees great benefits to accrue
 to national education as a result. The
 following communication has been
 sent by the secretary of the associa-
 ton, E. Noguchi. to Secretary Hughes
 under date of Nov. IS:
 Dear Sirs:
 we, members of the Educational Association of Japan, are greatly gratifed with the object of the Wash
 ington Conference. which is to pro- mote the peace and happiness Of mankind of limiting armaments. We think that the burdens of competitive armaments are seriously obstructing the cultural and industrial progress of the world, especially educational expansion, on which all cultural and industrial development depends We hope, therefore. to spend whatever saving that may be made by the re- duction of expenditure on arma- ments first of all for educational pur- poses It is our belief that the spread of better education will in turn se- cure the peace of the world by remov- ing nlisund and suspicious from international relations. For such reason we have always thought that an agreement for the limitation of ornaments is the first step toward peace Che interested nations ought to take.
 'sWe hail. therefore the Washing ton Conference as the most oppor- tune measure taken since the peace of. Versailles. Difficult as the object of the conference seems to be, it is by no means impossible if each na- tion faces the problem with frank ness and sincerity. May we hope that the wise and sincere counsel O. Your ExceNency and other chief del egates will carry the issue to a sue cessful conclusion.
 The Educational Association of Japan was formed in February of this year by influential editors of ed- ucationa1 publications and other prominent educationists in Tokio, l and Is now heartily supported by 2o0000 teachers throughout the country. IL is not influenced by any prejudicial interests and is acting solely for the propa gation of the above ideal May we remind YOU that the insignia with the slogan, Education First, which we had the honor to present to all the chief dele gates to the conference through a 1 of Peace Society were de- | signed by this association? We shall 1 deem 1t a great honor if Your Ex- l cellency and other chief delegates | will wear them as witnesses to the | ideal we have just stated

MANY VALUABLE RELICS FOUND IN
 LANAI ISLAND

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. A Lanai, one of the oldest if not the oldest of the Hawaiian island, is the richest of the archipelago for etbnological study. according to Kenneth P. Emory, as sistant ethnologist at the Bishop Museum here, who has just returned from a thorough survey of the island. He brought back a large quantity of objects and pictures which will be used in the comparative study of the people of all the islands in the South Pacific, by the Museum in conjunc- ton with Yale University
 The island contains an immense amount of relics and ruins. many so ancient that the living Hawaiian have no traditions concerning them and there are people who contend that they probably were the work of some race which preceded the Hawaiians. he said.
 '-This, however. is impossible" he added. There are no fresh craters on Lanai, which has more continuous area of level fertile country than any other island in the group. It has not been determined at which geologic ago these island came into existence.
