SUCCUMBED TO LURE
OF MIRROR AT ONCE
Little Story offered as EUi-
dence on Fexed Subject.

Man has always waXed sarcastic
about the mutual attraction between
woman and the mirror, remarks
writer in the Pathfinder. He has
made many playful iests on the sub
Ject attributing To pure vanity the
many hours spent before the reflect
ing glass Woman has never answered
except to accuse man of being even
ionder Of the glass than herself of
never being able to pass one without
taking a glance at himself If she
seems to spend more time before the
mirror, she explains, it is because the
nature of her toilet, the labOrious
combing of her hair, requires it. Each
sex insists that the other is the vainer.
and that the mirror proves it,
This age-Old dispute will perhaps
never be settled to the point where
one side will concede defeat and adj
nit the other right If men have al
most succeeded in making the term
vanity an attribute of femininity.
women. on the other hand. have been
even more successful in fastening the
adjective "cOnceit' on men alone. Ar
guments will never decide the queS-
tion-nor will proof for that matter
but some very strong circumStantial
evidence on the subject was recently
presented by FTenchman who had
been in a peculiarly favorable condi-
tion to procure it.
This man was marooncd on a desert
island in the South seas when there
drifted to him in boat, which had
been blown out of its course, a man
and his wife who were of a saw
age negro cannibal tribe. lie saved
their lives. and they lived with him on
very friendly terms Here is the way
he described the effect on them Of a
little mirror he had in his cabin.
Il presented it first to the woman.
Hardly did she see her image reflect
ed in it than she began to quiver, to
remble in all her members; she
turned and again turned the enchant-
ed object, felt its surface, explored
the other side, and not being able to
understand the Sorcery of it, called
her husband. With him it was much
worse. AS soon as ne saw in the mir
rOr living being who was looking at
| him he uttered loud scream and fled
with all the speed of his legs and
never stopped until he reached the
other end Of the island. He never got
over his dread Of the object.
For him that glass was the dwell
Ing place of an evil spirit On the
contrary, the woman, little by little
became familiar with 1t. Attracted
by a secret charm she would come OF
her own accord to ask me for the
mirror, and for hours she would make
before 1t grimaces and cOntOrtiOns un
speakably comlcal In her curiosity
there was still mingled n certain fear
Yet she came back as If an obscure
instinct had taught her that this mir
ror was an instrument of cOquetry
She was a woman"
OF course this story does not prove
anything. Women will still be uncon
vinced. But all must admit that It Il

MIR. Mitman told of the trials and
trfbulations of Charles L. Duryea and
Elwood Haynes in their effort to
twist the "horseless carriage" from
fancy TO fact.
How far Duryea looked into the
future may be judged from MIR. Nit
mans statement that Duryea's
School graduation thesis was entitled,
Rapid Transit and covered land,
water and air transportation. This
was written in 1882 and from that
time on his activities centered about
the transportation industry other
than railroads.
The other pioneer took to the auto
mobile out of sheer necessity. Ell
wood Haynes was in the natural gas
business in Indiana in 1890" Mr.. Nit
man told the radio fans. 'He
was compelled to travel about con-
stantly with a horse and buggy which
took up lot of time, SO Haynes pro-
ceeded to find. some better means of
locomotion. In 1893 he purchased a
one horse power gasoline engine, set

found the vibration excessive but

Since 1913, United States
Figures Show.
SLIGHT IN COMPARISON
Modest Increases Certain to Ex-
cite Critics.

Gasoline has. been the lowest-priced
commodity Of general use at all times
during the past eleven years and
never did get as high, in comparison
with pre-war prices. according to a
writer in the March % issue of Oil
and Gas Journal. Vet gasoline *
bought SO often and so universally
that its modest advances have re-
ceived marked attention and an un-
due amount of criticism.
During 1920 potatoes reached an
average of four and one quarter
times the price charged in 1918. ac-
cordlng to government figures. Sugar
cost nearly three times as much and
many other commodities cost double
or more. Gasoline at its highest point
was only 20 per cent higher than in
1913 in spite OF the highest crude oil
prices since the early days of the in
duStry
Only 1: Per cent Rise.
Last year the average price Of gas
cline was only - per cent higher
than in 1918, while sugar and cloth :
ing stayed around the 100 per cent
mark and butter around so per cent
higher.
Not only has gasoline become
cheaper by comparison with other
commodities. but greater mileage per
gallon is being secured. part due to
improvement in motors and Carburet-
ors, but also due to more scientific
balancing Of the gasoline itself. If
the motoriSt considers his time val :
