ROMANCE IN A DAYS EVENTS
Stirring Happenings That Would
Make Excellent Material for
the Writers Of Fiction.

man who for so years did not
know he had sister met her in Oak
land, Cal, the other day in a way TO
assure the writer's of fiction that life
offers events every bit as improbable
as does the Imagination, says the Oak
land Tribune.
The same day. over in San Francis
CO. young truck driver discovered
his brakes would not work. He was
headed down steep hill and into the
weaving streams Of traffic. II would
have been sasy for that driver to jump
and let the truck, the pedestrians and
motorists take care Of themselves. He
clung to the wheel, did his best to
see II caused no harm. At the end OF
that drive no one was hurt
So II goes, the run OF the days
news, the stories of the street and
home that have nothing to do with
wars and international politics. A
woman sues for divorce because her
husband plays chess, 1900 men fight
an oil fre near Richmond, two alrmen
stay In the air 81 hours and break
eight records while doing II.

WEALTH FROM LITTLE IDEAS
Devices That Seem Simple Often Net
Large Returns for Their
Inventors

The pith jam cartoons, used so
much during the war. made the for
tune Of the man who first thought OF
them. and the man who turned q
piece of wire so that the cord was
held securely in a, bottle made an
other, says London Tit-Bits.
The press-stud Is q device for
gloves which has sold by the million
and made several fortunes; while
long ago that peculiar little twist In
the safety pin which makes II impos-
sibie for the point to do harm, made
money for its fortunate inventor be-
yond the dreams of avarice.
The idea Of making the screw Its
own gimlet made the fortune OF the
Chamberlain family. while the dress
hook with hump has been gold
mine to M least one man.
The man who first thought Of fas-
tening boot buttons with something
stronger and easier TO manipulate
than cobbler's thread "struck OIL"
and everybody knows what fortunes
the idea of saving shoe leather by
means Of variously shaped metal
plates has made. The first tln-opener,
made necessary by the growth of the
canning" industry, was also win
Der In the financial race.

SHOOT PHONE POLE IN TWO
Expert Marksmen Save Llnes In Flood
in Western Canada by Using
Rifles.

An instance OF the resourcefulness
often required TO keep telephone lines
In successful Operation--and new
justification of the title Of "trouble
shooter" as applied to telephone
lineman-occurred during a recent
food season In western Canada, says
the Telephone Press Service.
Two telephone inemen In Alberta
were suddenly faced by the question
OF how to save line which was sup
ported by a pole that rested in the
bed of swollen stream ana seemed
in danger every moment of heing car
ried away by logs floating down the
swift current of the river.
II was utterly impossible to reach
the pole, but the resourceful linemen
saved the situation by severing the
pole below the cross.arms. This was
accomplished with thirty-five we'll
directed shots from a higll-powered
rifle. The bullets cut the pole and left
the line-with the pole top and cross
arms hanging from Unsupported by
the firmly set poles on either bank of
the river and unmenaced by the surg
ing waters.

HALF MILLION FREIGHT
CARS USED ANNUALLY

More than n half million freight
cars. one-fifth the freight car owner
ship in the country, are used annual
ly by the Ford Motor Company's
main plants and various branches, ac'
cording to figures just given out here.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit offices direct to
railroads, that paid by branches on
minor shipments, and freight charges
on direct shipments made from mann
featuring institutions to branches ap-
proximate s7S,2OO,000 annually. Ad-
ding to this about S75,000.000 paid by
dealers on shipments of autoes re-
ceived by them, brings conservative
figure of $150.OOO,000 paid every year
in freight charges through the instru-
mentality of the Ford Motor Co.
An average of $50 car loads Of
freight are handled every day in and
out fthe Highland Park and River
Rouge plants alone, and it is estima-
ted that on the Ford Motor Companys
account 50.OOO.O0O pounds of freight
in car load lots are handled every
day in the Detroit district.
Shipping space economies. effected
through the company's unique meth
ods, are seen in the fact that while
parts shipments TO the assembly
branch plants are figured at 10 units
per freight car, in rail shipments of
completed cars from the branches to
the dealers. only six assembled Ford
cars and trucks can be loaded into a
standard 36-foot box car.
The larger part of the Ford freight
| is shipped with the Detroit, Toledo &
| Ironton. the Ford Railroad, as either
the initial or participating carrier and
especial attention is paid to the clas-
styling of all freight, so that not only
the company but the dealer as well
receives the benefit OF expert services
in freight classification and rate ad-
justments. ., ..-...

Say. y. phe,oo,.ph. Sounds.

A British inventor ASSERTS that
sounds make actual rings In the air
when they occur, and that these at
mospheric disturbances affect light
coming through the air In such a way
as to make them visible-at least 10 a
supersensltive lens.
According to Popular Science Month
ly. this engineer has constructed a
camera which actually records the
waves Of sound on It's plate, and il
using II in the study Of the exhaust of
gasoline engines, acting on the theory
that the quality OF the sound will tell
eNactly what, II anything. is wrong
with the motor.
The camera. while apparently sue
cessful In photographing simple
sounds, does not operate successfully
when the sounds are Of q complex ma.
ture. as, for instance, the notes OF an
orchestra.

Dyes Used to Color Growing Trees

Dyes Used to Color Growing Trees,
method of coloring the wood of
growing trees has been devised by a
German engineer, who has been able to
color the tree any ssade while IL is
still growing. Various anillne dyes are
used, which do not poison the tree or
affect its growth. The entire tree,
from the very ends Of Its roots TO the
topmost branch and leaf. can be col
ored any desirable shade within 4S
hours after the solution of the dye
stuff is injected into the roots.
About 90 grams OF the dye are used
to 20 liters of water. The sap of the
tree carries the colOring matter
throughout the structure
This new development opens up
many possibilities Of obtaining novel
and startling effects in the novelty
business, and IL also makes possible
the perfect imitation of certain nat
ural woods. II is reported certain
Dutch and American interests are Civ.
ing this process serious attention.
