 When the scofflaw darted into the restaurant at z 80 o'clock and began going around in more or less elevated circles, the patrons, many of them women, either scrambled out of the place or too refuge on top of the tables.
 After making a panic in the dining room, Tom invaded the kitchen and ptt the staff to rout after lodging a bar rage of pots and pans. Back into the dining room it went and dashed round and found in most exhilarated way.

 When two policemen, answering A call for aid, reached the scene and managed to get through the crowd to the restaurant they found PatroIman Neville at pistol practice with the cat for target.

AFRICA HAS RIVER OF INK
Ingredients of Writing Fluid Are Fed
 Into Stream By Nature & S

AAASO 0y- tNdbuEO
 Travellers in northern Africa have ob. served curiosity of nature-a river of ink. The water is black, yet the streams which feed it are perfectly clear. Chem 1cal analysis and examinations have re- vealed the cause. One of the streams is strongly impregnated with iron from the soil through which it flows. Another carries tannin from a peat swamp, It is the chemical combination of the iron. tannin and oxygen of the air that turns the water black. This chemical reaction forms the basis of the most important class of. inks known as iron-gall inks. <,
 lron-gaH ink was first made in the twelfth century, but it was not until the fifteenth that it came into common use. The writer has seen a page from 2 hand-written book on monkish satin, Tn ink with the date 1445, and the writ Ing IS as clear, black and legible as on the date it was written. The ink was 1ron-gan ink, and it shows the perma- nency of this type. z.
 The most important factor in the making of this ink is gall nuts, cer- tain species of which are found in China, India, Japan and even in some oak and willow trees in America A ne. culiar kind of insect, similar to our horsefly, bores into the small tWiRs of oak trees and lays it's eggs. A little lump Is the result. The egg grows with the gall and is son converted into a larva. Eventually the larva becomes a fly and escapes by eating, it's way out, The best nuts for ink-making are those that are picked when fully ripe, but Just before the escape of the insect, as these contain the largest amount. of
 As the name implies, iron-gall inks are based on liquid in which an iron salt is combined with. tannin extracted from gall nuts The iron salt is con peras and comes in the form of eren crystals. These are secured in the Unlted States. White there are other ingredients added, these. two are the most important in the makeup of this type of ink. = 19
 This liquid is practically. coiorless until acted upon by the oxygen in, the air; that is, a pen dippeds into such .a Iiuld would make no ,visivle mak on the paper. Most people, however like 10 see what they are writing as they write, and so a blue anilin color is added. After the ink is exposed to tbe ar, the lron,gall compound develops a1 intensely black and permanent color. entirely superseling the original blue which ultimately fades away. This cpange ID color is what causes it to he reIerred to commonly as blue-black ink.

BUYERS FAVOR CLOSED TYPE Want All Year Utility
 Declares A. R. Pryor .s

"The trend of closed cars, which Ihns been the most remarkable feature lof this years market, will be even more 'Hemphasized in the buying season now lat hand, Z" said A. R. Pryor, distributor lof Hudson and Essex motor cars.
 Buyers of today have in mind the few remaining months of summer, and |anaturally put their preference in the |Nall-year utility of the closed car. Hud- Rson and Essex, with the coach, have
 made Closed Car Comforts at Open Il Car Cost the outstanding motor car Tissue of the year. ae M Exclusive Type M Tt is the coach type, I think, moro than all other influences, that is re, Rsponsible for the swing of buying to Hclosed cars. It is exclusive to Hudson land Essex. And more than 90 per cent bof Hudson-Essex production is devoted to this one model. 4 = Consider what a revolutionary Achange in motor-buying habits that re- fleets. Prior to the coach, 90 per cent Iof production of most manufacturers Lwas in open cars. ..@ ~ "Of course everyone wanted closed lear advantages, then as now. But closed lcars cost too much for most buyers. < Instant Response M
 When Hudson and Essex intro- duced the coach,, giving all closed car comforts at open car cost, the effect
 was instantaneous. Immediately de- mand forced the greater part of Hud- son-Essex production into the coach
 type. And that popularity has gained ground steadily until today, the coach 1 IS one of the largest selling six-cylinder closed cars in the world. F., ;
 am convinced that before great
 while the closed car will be the only
 acceptable type. No one who knows its advantages will be content with an open
 car. Its all-year utility means comfort
 able transportation in every season. Z.
 The coach has been instrumental
 in bringing these advantages within
 reach of all, and the day is not far when practically all.motorists will drive

JEwELRY FROM ELEPHANT

For centuries the hair from an ele- plants tail has been worn as a charm by superstitious natives of the East. But only recently has this ancient pre- caution against the evil eye penetrated to London. Now charms made from elephant hair are sold in theiform of rings and bracelets. Rings may be ob- tained from $2.25 upward and bracelets cost about the same price, although those with gold spiral mounts run up to $12.50. or more.
 A very popular bracelet has a gold clasp with a portly elephant in white enamel hanging from a circle of hair; another, has, strand of gold wire twisted with hair. Signet rings have the hair set in half the hoop at the back. There are also twisted rings and plain ones without the signet.
 There is nothing very attractive about elephant hair, but the jewellers have done their best with rather uh- promising material and produced a va riety of charms for those who wish for good iuek-New York Herald.

Not withstanding the fact that the Birming- ham. cord is made right here in Bir- mingham by the Birmingham Tire and Rubber company, which is owned by the Murray boys, Monk says that he really finds it hard to keep a complete stock of these popular Birmingham cords so insistent is the demand for this home product.
