Chicago Women

overalls for housework,
Trousers for women are coming in
to their own in Chicago.
The demand is echoed in more fem

they wanted to.
And the women have an argument

a tight skirt? It's impossible, they
say.

Horsepower Doesn't
Indicate Cars Worth

Buying with the eye, or, to put it

practice which the American automo-

says a Franklin dealer.

sidered correct indication of the real
worth of an automobile from the
standpoint OF transportation.
THE wonderful increase in the

travel an every day matter. The av-

ONE JOURNAL IN GREENLAND
Ana the Editor Of That One Had to

Read II.

Journalism in Greenland is in rather
primitive stage, according to the
captain Of British bark. The cap
tain makes frequent voyages to Green
land and is held to be an authority on
conditions In that country.
The one editor In Greenland is a
Dane named Moeller, who conducts
the only newspaper and enjoys the
singular distinction of printing the pa
per FOR the natives and teaching them
to read II.
Mr. Moeller is not only the editor
and proprietor; he is the reporter,
printer, distributor and business
manager, and every two weeks he
makes long journey on skates to dis
pose Of his journal.
Originally II contained only a few
crude illustrations, but gradually
other matter was introduced, until now
II contains articles on the affairs of
the day.
This man actually taught his sub
scrlbers to read his paper, first intro
ducing words, then sentences, until
now his subscribers are able to read
articles on any topic he cares to write
about.

II seems hardly credible, but up to
the year 1772. there was no scientist
In all Europe who knew enough to
categorically deny that there was such
a thing as perpetual motion.
1t remained for Sir Isaac Newton
and the French scientist, De La Hire,
to demonstrate beyond doubt the i'm
possibility Of attaining It.
Quite a little time passed before
the scientific world in general was
willing to accept the Newtonian the
DRY, but finally the French Academy
Of Science at Paris, In ITO, publicly
declared that perpetual motion was
an impossibillty and thereby branded
all those who still insisted upon ex-
perimenting with 1t as charlatans.-
