Exploration OF Great Des-

Event

PARIS. Dec. 20.-Exploration of the
great desert of the Sahara by caterpil-
lar automobiles and airplanes has be-
come so extended in the last two years
that soon the crossing of the once mys-
terious ocean of sand will not be any
more extraordinary than voyage
across the Atlantic. Perhaps in de-
cade or so some enterprising capitalist
will run a bus line across the five
thousand miles with stops at the GASES.
At present four French exploration
parties are making their way across the
desert in different directions. Their
principal object is to locate places for
gasoline depots and sites for radio and
telegraph stations. One mission, led by
Georges Hardt and Audoin- DubreuiIh,

crossing from Colomb- Bechar, the mil

IN REICHSTAG
Waste Space Eliminated
As Size Of Chamber
Increases
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Dec. 10. The political
leaders no longer , ill be able to sleep
on comfortable sofas IN the corners OF
the, reichstag chamber during long
winded or uninteresting speeches. The
membership of the reichstag has in
creased to a point where it is necessary
to rebuild the chamber and put seats in
the y corners which formerly were
lounges.
With the increase in membership
from 472 to 493 and the prospect that
still further increases may follow
shortly, it has been found necessary to
eliminate several of the aisles in the
chamber and utilize every possible foot
of space for seats and desks.
The leading parties always kept at
least one member in the chamber dur
ing speeches, and these members who
remained on watch generally had a
siesta in the lounges, keeping one ear
open for anything which concerned their
party.

Pugilists Are Superstitious

Hans Breitenstreiter and other prom
inent German pugilists are extremely
superstitious and attach much impor-
lance to the circumstances under which
they have fought successfully. For ex-
ample, the opinion prevails among the
German fighters that they can win bat
ties only if they wear the same trunks
they had on when they gained their
first victory. As consequence many
boxers are using much-darned and
patched trunks and lamenting the fact
that the time soon will come when they
must get new ones. There also is
superstition that the boxer who gets on
his gloves first will win. Certain cor
ners of the ring are considered espe-
cially lucky and lots are drawn to
decide which corners the fighters shall
have.

how realistic was his acting, and he
apologized after the death scene. Car

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By 6. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

# is well that the subject of thrift
be kept constantly before the public
This does not mean that there
should be a continual exhortation to
save money What it does mean is
that too much general attention can
not be given to methods Of wise
spending, economy, efficiency and
elimination of waste, as well as
sensible saving To this end a
conference soon viii be held in
Washington of representatives of
various groups and organizations
interested in thrift
A little less than nine years ago
conference was held on the grounds
Of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in
San Francisco. The meeting which
was called the international Con-
gTess for Thrift, resulted in the
formation Of plans for the introduce

Why Your Auto License Is Delayed.

Il applied for a license long ago;
why did / not receive it,"
This question is frequently asked

''but most Of them are due to errors
of the applicants" No license is
Intentionally delayed without cause.
If you do not receive your license
within three weeks, there is a reason
for it. If the application is in
correct form, and accompanied by
the proper fee, the license is issued
as soon as it can be given attention.
Most Of the delays are due to one
Of three causes:
% Improper application or incor-
rect fee.
~ Incomplete address, or none at
all.
Thousands Of applications come
from Milwaukee, Racine, Oshkosh, or
other large cities, without giving a
street address, and number tags so
addressed rarely reach their owner.
Thousands Of others give a street and
number but do not name the city.
These errors account for about two
thirds Of the delays. More than a
ton Of license tags have been return
ed to the Secretary of State for these
causes alone.

These are very annoying. Names
are hard to read unless they are
plainly written or printed.
Fees for licenses are deposited as
promptly as possible. If you do not

il has, examine it carefully As a
rule the number of the license to be

That Would Be Some
EorI Parade
They're off! Ten million Ford

They're off! Ten million Ford

With Ford No. 100000
scheduled to cross the United States
on the Lincoln Highway, a genius for
figures has worked out the matter of
staging a parade If the entire
Model T. Fords,
Here's the way he figures it:
The road selected is 24,840 miles
long circling the earth at the
equator. He parks the Fords in
one place at the side Of the road,
sets a pace Of twenty miles an hour
for the parade and starts the cars at
intervals Of thirty seconds.
Drivers are to have an eight-hour
day the same as that enjoyed by all
Ford employees and are, Of course,
to have Sundays, Christmas, New
Yem's and Fourth of July off.
If you were inclined to watch
such a parade and would remain
until the last car passed, you'd have
to stick at your place along the line
for thirty-two and half years
With all the Fords remaining in
fine, it wouldn't be long before you
ould find yourself in TIE center Of a
ahirlng corkscrew of cars, and as
the genius has already figured it, if
you remained to. the finish, and were
observant, you probably would have
noticed that the first car passed you
xty-seven times before the last or
ten-millionth car had left the park
ing ground.
Furthermore, figuring Ford pro-
duction on the time basis Of the last
million, G5 million more Ford cars
would have been build while you
were watching the parade
