to the Royal academy as his diploma
work, is now chef of the grill at the
Royal Palace hotel, Kensington, Lon

The manager of the hotel, being in

the chef whose portrait had attracted
such attention. In conversation
Chester" would talk of nothing but
a wonderful new sauce he had just

realized, In his own phrase, that
Chester is, In his own way, as great
an artist as Sir William Orpen."
He Immediately offered him very
substantial salary in return for his

Average Life Of Auto.

AS highway transportation de-
velops and passenger cars and trucks
become practically the sole means Of
road travel, the proportion of first
purchasers of cars and trucks in the
total of car sales will decrease, and
the demand for new cars each year
Will become more and more nearly
equal to the number OF cars which
drop out of service. For this reason
1t Is becoming increasingly impor-
tant for the trade to know how many
cars will be required for replacement
Of those withdrawn from service.
Analysis Of registration, production,
export and import figures over a
period Of years leads to the con-
clusion that the average life Of the
100000 cars retired from service in
the last seven years was about SO
years.-Scientific American.

and saw that the Balkan opposite him

grabbed for it. Then the fight began.

The other diners touched the ice
cream, and finding 1t cold, thought
they knew the trick The stunt was
to smear the cold substance on your
neighbor's face. This happened sew

Ice cream and with a whOOp an

be wasted on cOuntenances. The head
steward said the same thing in the

But the final experiment was yet

Well-established systems of live
stock production consistently followed
from year to year are the outstand-

problem was begun at Mcneil, Miss
65 miles north Of New Orleans. Ihe
Mississippi Experiment Station will
assist in the work The idea is to test
out the growing and marketing of
hogs at weight of about 100 pounds,
using both the lard and bacon types.
The growing Of feeder hogs is an
industry which should be developed
as the Corn Belt is in need of more
shoats than are usually produce
there. Similar experiments to those
being made in the South will be tried
later in the Northwest and the South

Fairbanks Spent
A Million Dollars

For the first time since he became
a screen actor, Douglas Fairbanks
spent a cold million dollars in order
to make "The Three Muskotcers,'
which has proven to be the film sen
sation Of the picture world, and
which was adapted by Edward Kno-
block from Alexander Dumas famous
novel, and directed By Fred Niblo.
Never before in the history OF the
motion picture industry was a photo
play produced on so lavish a scale as
was this forthcoming Fairbanks Of
fering. Nearly hundred thousand
dollars was spent on costumes alone,
and more than half that, amount was
expended in the building of exterior
sets, not counting the ship and the
pier which cost a small fortune be
sides.
Millions Of people have read
Dumas thrilling tale Of romance and
adventure, and millions Of others will
read it in generations to come.
It's possibilities for adaptation to
the screen are almost limitless, and
Fairbanks has spared no time, effort
or expense to take advantage Of every
one Of them.
The picture is genuinely big. 1t is
not merely a Fairbanks picture with
a little seventeenth century sword
play thrown in. It would be a big
picture without Fairbanks, but it is
a bigger ore because he is in it, and
plays the character of the delightfully."-
lovable and adventurous D'Artagnan.
Owing to the extreme length of the
picture, twelve reels, it will be i'm
possible to give two complete presen-
tations in the evening, and in order
that as many as possible may get the
fullest enjoyment out of it by seeing
it from the beginning, the usual start
ing hour will he changed, and during
this engagement the show viii start
at 7:3O.
