are distinctly superior
to straight run gaso-
lines for use in the
modern automobile

distinct advantages
such a product as
Solite enjoys is its free
dom from a tendency
to detonate, which re-
suits in the nerve-dis-
turbing knock which
is so annoying to the
average rnotorist.

motorists who want instant response

to forego extreme economy to get it.
Solite is clean and sweet. It will not
corrode your needle valves. Solite burns
evenly and clean, driving the piston the

by the most modern methods approved
by science, the famous Burton Process
being employed in its manufacture.

For a light gasoline it

this particular it is not
as efficient as its COM

FRENCH WRITER'S HAVE FUN
Four coIlaborate on Novel, Each Gre
atina Difficult Problems for
Others to Solve.

-Four widely known French writer's
have elaborated in a new novel, lie
Roman des Quatre," which has just
appeared in Paris. The novel follows
the model established by lie Croix de
Berry" which appeared many years
ago. The collaborators have written
turn by turn and the novel becomes a
series Of letters by different hands.
The most distinguished Of the au-
thors of lie Croix de Berry" was
T%heophils Gautier, who was assisted
by Madame Emile de G~Irardin, Jules
sandeau and Joseph Merry, each writer
being responsible for one character.
The new novel has been written In
a more frivolous spirit. The plot Of
lie CrOix de Berry was p~rearranged,
but the authors Of the latest novel Of
this sort have taken a mischievous de-
light in getting their characters into
tight places and leaving their extrica-
ton to the other authors. One Of
them, indeed, killed off all the charac-
ters In the story, and then passed the
manuscript on to the next author for
completion. That gentleman escaped
from his predicament by informing his
readers that he had not had time to
read the last chapter and begging
them TO excuse any incoherence that
might appear in the narrative. He
%thereupon went calmly on with the de-
funct characters.
The collaborators on this latest ex-
pertinent are Pierre Benoit, Paul
Bourget, Henri Duvernois and Madame
d'Houyille.-Living Age.

ROUGH ON THE PASSENGERS
English Railway Rules Seem Framed
on Principle That They Are
All Criminals.

The unsuccessful prosecution Of a
railway passenger at Glasgow for
travelling with a ticket given to him
by another person is a striking Illus
tration of the extraordinary powers
claimed by railway companies.
Railway laws-or, rather, railway
bylaws, which are not quite the same
thing-bristle with penalties for the
hapless passenger. They seem to be
framed on the principle that every
traveller is a potential criminal, re-
marks a writer In London Tt-Bits.
II he fails to produce his ticket when
1t is asked for 1t is, in railway law,
"prima facie evidence that he has nc
ticket" Fine, 40 shillings. II he really
has no ticket 1t is prima facis evidence
Of fraud. Another 40 shillings-even
though he intended to buy a ticket,
but, being late for his train, failed to
do 30.
II the passenger has taken a ticket
for a particular station and allghts at
an intermediate station the railway
can claim payment Of the fare between
the points Of starting and alighting, al
though 1t has already been paid once
for the original ticket. If he refuses to
pay-40 %shillings.
II he travels first class with a third
class ticket on any part Of a line the
railway has power to demand payment
Of the whole fare from the point at
which the train started.
The passenger IL also liable to pay.

rency expired.
Most Of these bylaws are as farci-
cal In practice as that still in force
which imposes a penalty Of 40 shill-
ings on a passenger who enters a COM
partment which il already, full.

During the period of this unbridled

distressing phenomenon. 1t may not

American parents that their country

outlook, and the tendency of these
same forty years has been to with

the tendency of smaller families and
to tolerate the condition of allowing
for the foreigners practically a
monopoly of births.
Nor has this been confined to mere
unexpressed intuitive knowledge.

Between thirty and forty years

was regarded as not only ignorant.
