Getting Evidence Of the Bumps.

There Is new kind Of device called
a vialog which records uneven sur
faces on highways and shows where
they are most In need Of repair.
The record Is taken on a roll Of
paper sufficient to make graph for
eleven miles Of road. A new record
can be put In In moment and thus
the status of each eleven-mile strip
may be flied for future comparison.
The recording is done by a sensitive
needle, self-inking. 1t is the seismo-
graph In q modified form.
Personally one takes the record in
his own anatomy on rough road and
when his head goes through the top
Of the automobile he knows exactly
how rough 1t Is, but the vialog In
scribes the notes more imperturbably
and accurately than one would with a
paper and pencil.
Moreover, the viaIog says nothing
audible about 1t. But we should like
to see the graph" Of the vialog after
it has passed over corduroy road.
Well bet it would be out Of Ink.

Only the last few lines Of the some

purport Of the letter, while the re-
mainder is made up of the usual
roundabout and complimentary phrases.
1t Is folded In peculiar way
with the flaps outwards and placed
In a muslin bag, and this latter
into one Of crimson and gold tint,
with a sIip-knot Of gold thread, at
tached to which is ponderous seal.
The address, written on slip of
parchment, is attached to the outside
bag. These details are very important
for polite Ietter-writing in India. and
If any Of them were omitted 1t would

MY HUSBANDS LOVE
 Garrisonr New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

Madge,-it looks to me as if he brought the thing home on purpose to see if he could get a rise out of you. I've always taken off my best chapeau to you for the way you've kept Dicky-bird guessing; since you married him. I don't mean about your actions-the land knows Caesars wife was modern fiapper compared to you-but about your real senti- ments concerning the divers and sum- dry little performances he has staged. You very seldom have batted even an eye, and I think the Dicky-bird, in masculine fashion is puzzled and a bit resentful. It's tribute to a mans vanity, you know when his wife or sweetheart gets all teary and excited over his derelictions. real or fancied."
 You don't advise me to try the teary excitement, do you?" I asked dryly.
 Not on your diamond anniver- sary," she responded promptly. The Dicky-bird needs just that flavor of uncertainty in his emotional menu. But don't put it past lfim-to quote your mother-in-la -law-to try to rouse your jealousy. But l must say that he's losing his fine artistic touch Very clumsy work, that with the fly leaf. I'm surprised at him."

 You speak very seriously, syd I think the man not only a scoundrel but a coward. Have you ever known an episode of the kind? 2"
 Before he could answer, Jack in- terrupted. Say, don't you think that we might have a little gaiety interjected into this meal? What difference does it make. Les. whether you could forgive the father and not the mother or forgive the mother
