WRITES POEMS TO ORDER,
French Author Calls Herself "Mer-
chant of Verse"

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-"Poems" while you wait
has been turned into regular busi-
ness by one versifier here, and she has
hung out her shingle.
This commercial poetess Is Nine.
Alois Sauter-Gattelier, who works with
meter and rhyme at her home, in sub
urban Neuilly. Her sign describes
her as a merchant of verse"
In the province this business is a
side line with many literary inclined
persons who have not yet turned the
corner on the road to financial sue
cess. In the smaller villages there
is a demand for verse for marriages,
births, deaths and festive occasions.
Some of the rapid-f1re writer's have a.
regular scale of prices. Others think
it more dignified and also more re-
munerative to let the client go as far
as he will with his pocketbook.

BUTTERCUPS BANNED.
British Farmers Believe Flowers
Affect Flavor of Milk.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LCNDON.-Poor little buttercup!
Once British farmers thought the
pretty yellow flower helped cows to
produce rich milk. Now they have
decided that the blossom and its leaves
impart a bitter taste to milk and but
ter. The plant is charged, too, with
having caused the poisoning of poul-
try which ate it's seeds.
So the buttercup is condemned. and
meadows and pastures are to be plow-
ed up more frequently to destroy 1t.
If that step is ineffective, weed killers
will be employed.

CONTINUE TO Serve
Dodge Cars of A. E. F. Now
in French Civil Life.

Amidst the gladness and merri-
ment that characterized the re-
union of members of the American
Legion in Paris was one battle
Scared veteran that was little con-
cerned about the event although in
every respect entitled to a place of
honor wherever veterans gathered.
This Soldier" was one of about $500
members of the A. E. F. that stayed
on in France aftei the war ended,
finding work there that they were
eminently fitted to do and so con-
tinuing to serve as in the war.
These soldiers" are Dodge
Brothers cars that were used on
the western front during 1917, 1918
and 1919 and later demobilized into
civil life. The particular veteran"
referred to is Dodge Brothers car
that has been made over into a
Paris taxicab, probably the dean of
all taxis.
Anyone who knows the service de-
manded from a taxicab in Paris
will vote to put this far forward as
a candidate for the Valhalla of all
automobiles for it has been on the
Paris streets six years, following its
war service and further term in
private hands.
This veteran" averages 100 kilo-
meters or about 100 miles per day
for 800 days year and during the
past six years has rolled up the
impressive total of $4,000 kilometers
or 100000 miles.

AUTO OUTPUT
DROP CAUSED
By,FORD REST
Decline of ia Shown in
Production of Cars in
Nine Months.

DETROIT, Oct. 12.-The automo-
bile industry enters the last quar-
ter of the year hopeful that it will
do considerably better than the last
three months of 1926.
If the trend which has held sway
Of the year continues it will not
throughout the first nine months
do as we'll, according to- H. Cram
president of Grams Automotive
Reports, industry authority.
Total output in the first three
quarters was 1903 per cent below
that of 1926.
Passenger car production shows
a decline of ia per cent and truck
output a decline of only is per
cent.
In round figures, the total is off
$4,000, the car output is down
484,300 and truck down only 1880
for the nine months.
The large decline in passenger
car production is due, of course, to
the closing of the Ford plant to
make way for the new model.
Nearly every other producer has
done we'll and some have enjoyed
and still are enjoying, an exceed
ingly prosperous business.
Summed up, then, it all amounts
to this: Production is way off, but
business has been very good.
The indicated production for the
entire year is somewhere In the
vicinity of 100000 units, cars and
trucks, the lowest volume since
1924.

USE OF MORE CRUDE
IN MOTOR FUEL URGED
Ratio Must Go Higher Than Pres
ent 80 Per Cent, Say Experts.

"We are on the way to motor
fuels which. will use much higher
percentages of the crude Oil. Today
about 80 per cent of the crude
reaches the motorists gasoline tank
in the form of gasoline. That ratio
must go higher.
ITO bring a higher ratio, our
engineers must design motors to fit
fuels, and not demand special fuels
to fit their designs.

Tail Light
BY sWEDE SWANSON

Years ago, when we still sympa-
thized with the horse, we also had
the obsession that future mankind
would be legless. The automobile
was to divest us of these necessary
appendages, for we would have no
more use for them. That idea IS
gone: we still have our legs and we
still use them.
But we have never given up the
notion that the automobile de-
prived us of the opportunities to
exercise our bodies, at least to the
extent at which we used to when we
had to walk to the corner grocery,
or run for the street car. Now, how
ever, comes the University OF Wis
consip with the report of medical
study and tests made among its
student motorists to show that even
seated at the driving seat we get
enough exercise to assure us of good
health.
Our arms move with the~steering
wheel and our legs with the opera
ton of the clutch and brake pedals,
enough at least to keep them active
and stir the blood within us.
All that sounds good. But, as has
already been suggested, let's take a
walk.
Let's get out from behind the
wheel, where we have been cramped
up for a long ride, stretch our legs
and arms, take a few long, deep
breathS, and-take walk.
