STORES ON WHEELS GAINING
Old Tin Pedder Coming Back, But
Now He Drives a Big
Motor Truck.

The old tin peddler promises to come
back again to the rural districts, but
in a new form.
He will roll up in big motor truck.
Tin peddlers were a curious lot.
Nearly every one drove an ancient
white horse. The wagon had upon it
very high sides and the interior, when
opened to the gaze of 8 country lad,
was like a peep into Aladdin's cave.
Bright pieces of tinware were upon
shelves or suspended from hooks. The
tin peddler took his little store to the
country customer. Often he exchanged
his wares for rags or old clothing, says
Girard in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But the swift auto has brought
something new. saw one not long
ago a complete store on wheels. 1t
was stocked with nearly everything a
hOusekeeper ordinarily buys, except
fresh meats.
Several years ago two girls tried the
experiment of putting a boOkshOp on
wheels. They travelled about and did
a first-rate business.
That suggested the other and newer
kind of store, which does not wait for
the customer to come to it, but goes
to the door of the buyer.
In this wheeled shop are groceries
of all kinds, canned goods, cereals,
dried food, including meat; consider
able quantities of clothing, umbrellas,
hats, shoes, cooking utensils, toys and
candy for youngsters, fish-hOOks, base
/ balls, matches, dishes, and also few
books and current magazines.
A truck nearly the size of our larg-
est moving vans holds an enormous
amount They go fast, and articles
are kept clean and dry.
Opened front and back, the lady
from Lonesome Crossroads may go into
one end of this moving store, nicely
lighted with electricity, and come out
the other end, having done a fort
nights shopping by travelling a few
rods from her own door.
Some day We may see even banks or
wheels rushing about the country
gathering up money.

HIS HANDKERCHIEF is OVAL
Hindoo Prince Tampering Where More
Famous Have Fixed the
Laws of Style.

A Hindu prince has started the fash
ion Of oval pocket handkerchiefs. But
why should he want his handkerchief
Cv9l2
Another ruler, far more famous. in
vented the square handkerchief. When
Louis XVI ascended the throne of
France handkerchiefs were Oblong. Be
fore that they had been round. with a
deep bordering of lace. 1t was only
the high-born and the rich who owned
handkerchiefs at all in those days, says
London Tit-Bits.
When Louis XVI had reigned for
about u years he considered that the
time had come for another change of
shape, and doubtless Marie AntOinette
had something to do with the idea. 1t
was decided that the reign of the
square handkerchief should begin.
By letters patent, given at Versailles
on September %, 1884, it was decreed
that the length and the breadth of the
handkerchief should be equal. Three
months later the French parliament
gravely confirmed the absurd decision

USE BREAD TO CLEAN WATCH
Dough Frees Small Parts Of Timepleee
Of Oil, Chips of Metal and
Other Things.

Although the custom Is very old, few
people realize that bread is extensively
used in the making of watches. From
very early times it has been the prac-
tice Of watchmakers to employ a dough
made by kneading fresh bread with
water to remove foreign matters from
the parts Of timekeepers.
CuriOusly enough, there is 10 known
substance which will so completely
free the small parts of a watch from
oil and chips of metal as bread dough.
After rubbing with the dough, the
metal is absolutely clean. Every other
substance which has been tried tends
to leave some of its own fragments on
the metal. One of the worlds largest
factories uses so lOaves Of bread a day
for this sole purpose.
To the astronomer, the threads which
ceEtain kinds of spiders weave are of
the utmost value. They are used for
used for determining the positions and
movements of the stars, and no sub
stitute for them has yet been found.
The minute strands of this spiders
thread are remarkably fine, not exceed
ing One-fifth to One-seventh of thou
sandth Of an inch in diameter. In com
/ parisOn, the thread of a silkwOrm is
thick and clumsy. 1t is not only the
fineness of the spiders thread which
makes it so useful, for, in addition, II
Isl amazingly durable. Spider threads
can endure great variations in temper
allure without undergoing any change
In measuring sunspOts, when the hea
is so great that the lenses are cracked
the spider thread will be uninjured.-

RADIO STATION WILL BE OPENED
 ON APRIL FIRST

JH. Flickinger of the Alaska Steam ship Company received a message to- day from E. T. Stannard, at head quarters in Seattle, stating that the Seward radio station would be reopen ed April l, but the message did not state whether the Navy CT th" Army would be in charge. For several months past the Chamber of Com llerce has been trying to have the station turned over the Army, ard UE Tuesday a message was received that tie War depaIt,n.n, ;te recommend, ed t transfer. It Is believed that ac- ton has been taken by the Navy 'ir- rallmtnt in order to keeu t.e War department f.: getting a foohold on [! . coast.
 The local Chamber has had strong assistance in the project, the San Francisco Chamber, the Seattle Cham Der. the Alaska and Pacific Steamship Companies, and the Hartman Bank people insiting that the station remain in operation. Secretary J. P. Hannon of the local Chamber, has rendered invaluable service, as he was in charge Of the local station for some time, and is thoroughly familiar with all phases O. the questions involved.
 The station was closed last fall, os- tensiby for the reason that the Navy had no money left for its maintenance. Since that time all efforts of local peo- pie to have the station used has been nullifed by Washington. Pressure re- gently brought to bear by the army to secure use of the station by the Signal Corps, has been fought vigOr- ously by the Navy department, which apparently would rather see the sta tion rot than made use of by the peo- pie.
 The caretaker at the radio station also received a message today stating the station would be reopened April first.
 This is good news for residents of Sewar who have been compelled to send all messages destined to the westward by way of Cordova, at an extra cost of five cents per word.
