A Happy Thought.

| Tho highest price ever paid for a
book by living author was given in
New York recently when a copy of
Rudyard Kipling's THE Smith Ad-
ministration." published at Allahabad.
India. in 1891, brought $4,000 at
auction.
Fourteen thousand dollars for one Of
the remaining six copies of a book
probably unread even by the most
| ardent lovers Of this great British
writer! The sum will stagger the hon.
est booklover. who thinks twice before
investing S. in some new book from
the press.
A happy thought will come to most:
That it Is not at all necessary or de.
sirable to pay such sum of money to
enjoy Kipling. His greatest works
may be purchased for couple Of dol.
lars each; every child may revel in
them.

in an array which takes in the best

The payment of large sums for rare
books is a specialized branch. one in
which the average booklover is not
particularly interested. Perhaps the
best lesson that such a man may de.
rive from such incidents. in addition
to the one pointed out, is in regard to
the accent which the huge price puts
upon the authors work. If some man

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

O. Has the wife Of Lars Hanson
s. ID.
A. When Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Han
son worked for Swedish companies
Mrs. Hanson was popular on the Eu
ropean screen as Karin Nolander
Since coming to this country she has
retired from the screen.
hag.-A. G.. n.
A. 1t was a red flag with a blue
stripe extending from the upper left
hand corner to the lower right hand
corner and from the upper right to
lower left corner. On the crossed
bars were white stars.
Q. Can the moon be seen at the
North Pole?-T. j. l..
A. During each lunar month the
moon is continuously above the hor-
zOn for about two weeks and then con-
tinuously below the horizon for about
two weeks, as seen from the North
Pole.
O. Where is Lake Bonneville?-
F. x.
A. Lake Bonneville was a glacial
lake which once occupied the basin Of
northwestern Utah. The shore lines
| still discernible along the inclosing
mountain ranges show that it attained
an area of nearly 10000 square miles
| and depth of 1000 feet. During it's
second period of expansion the lake
| waters overfiowed to the north, drain
| ing into the Shoshone River, and thus
| reaching the Pacific. Evaporation
| lowered the lake until only shallow
| bodies of salt water remain, of which
Great Salt Lake is the largest.
@. What is the meaning of the fol.
lowing terms used in cooking-"au u
gratin," 'bouillon," "a Ia jardiniere'
and "a la poulette"?--G. T. r.
| A. All baked or roasted dishes that
are prepared with crumbs grated and
sprinkled over are called Eau Gratin",
a 'bouillon" is clear soup, much
stronger than broth and yet not quite
so strong as consomme; "a Ia jardi
Mere" means cooked with many
chopped vegetables; "a la poulette"
means "as a chicken; for instance, a
"sauce la poulette" always has eggs
added, the eggs giving the distinctive
! name "a la poulette.'

on the Importance of peanuts as a
F., farm crop.-N. /. f.
! \. Peanuts are at present an i'm
portant money crop in no less than L.
of the Southern States, especially in
those regions infested by the cotton
boil weevil. The peanut is a native of
the tropics and was introduced into
the United States during the earlier
days of colonization, but did not be-
come of commercial Importance until
about 1870. From that time until 1897
it's importance as farm crop was
relatively small. but the production
and uses of peanuts have increased
enormously during the past 20 years.

good Of the greatest number. s. ?"
Determined to end for all time ru;
mors, unfounded reports. illogical con.
clusions and even instances in (which
there has been an apparent effort de.
liberately to- distort facts and distract
attention from the main issue in
volved. The Star sent its representa-.
tive to Boston to make a thorough
study Of the entire situation.
The results Of the survey have been
published and a careful perusal Of
the information contained leads inev-
itab,y to the conclusion that in many
insta noes those who have vigorously
protested against the establishment of
compulsory insurance in the District
have done so either on wrongly predi-
Gated grounds or without accurate
data to guide them.
The point wherein local opponents
of the compulsory insurance measure
have erred Is in the matter Of accident
reduction. Compulsory liability insur-
ance was not instituted as a safety
measure: 1t was not intended to cut
the number of street and highway
mishaps. All that it was designed to
do was to impose financial responsible
ity, for his own acts, upon every
driver on the road and to keep off the
highways the motorist who is either
unable to guarantee such responsible
ity or refuses to do 50.
This end has been achieved. Every
driver in the State Of Massachusetts
carries the badge of responsibility
when he appears behind the wheel
Of his automobile. But, in addition
to this desirable condition. a happy
by-product seemingly will be a dimi-
mutton Of the number Of accidents.
But whether this occurs or not, 1t
will not detract from or add to the
merits OF statute which makes every
driver responsible in financial way
for his own acts as an automobile op-
orator.
The law. in It's eleven months op-
Grafton. has already exceeded in value
the expectations Of those who spon.
sored 1t in the Bay State. What more
