Mankind's Heavy Debt
to the Humble Burro

The burro is a plodder, but he has
done much toward development Of
America, especially in western states,
asserts a writer In the Kansas City
Times. He has carried timber, plaster
and nails into the desert for houses,
packed gold and silver and saved
mems lives.
Virtually every important ore de-
posit between Denver on the north
and Guanajuato on the south, the Mis-
souri, river on the east and California
on the west owes its discovery to the
assistance given to man by the burro.
He has several characteristics that
qualify him for a hard life. He can
be driven, but not led. He knows a
straight line is the shortest distance
between two water holes, and he can
find and follow that line In country
he has never seen before. He can live
on vegetation that horse or mule or
camel would not attempt to eat. He
knows more about man than man
knows about him; any prospector will
admit this, declaring his own pet
burro has more sense than any human
partner he ever had.

Odd Fire Escape

Devices for human safety always
have been favorites with inventors.
Back in the seventies when buildings
were growing taller. ingenious minds
turned freely to the invention of new.
tangled fire escapes.
One OF the oldest of these, says
Popular Science Monthly, was In the
form of parachute attached to a
headgear worn by the escaper. With
this. declared the inventor, "a person
may safely jump out Of the window
Of burning building from any height.
and land, without injury and without
the least danger, on the ground" To
make doubly sure Of such landing
he further provided overshoes with
thick rubber soles ito take up the con
cussion with the ground"

Weeds or FLOWERS in
Storage for Memory?

We possess many treasures that no
longer have an existence anywhere
but in our memories. The little by
path with its tangle Of wild roses has
changed to a paved street, the old
home has given place to a shop with
glaring front, the little group that
used to gather at the piano could
gather nowhere on earth now, but
they are still ours.
Few Of US prize as we should Gods
great gift Of memory, or realize what
a means Of enrichment 1t is intended
to be. Whether we will or not, we
are continually storing 1t with sup
plies for our future. We may gather
weeds or flowers. beauty or ugliness,
and what we choose will determine
what our memories shall hold in store.
Every happy hour leaves Its picture,
every unworthy deed its blot. Is It
not worth while to think Of this In
our crowded days, and choose what

Hang Pictures Carefully

Pictures carefully chosen and cor
rectly hung do much to bring inter-
est and charm to the home. II one
has particularly beautiful painting
or etching, it should receive the place
Of prominence. Its hanging should
be invisible, as cords and fasteners de-
tract from the artistic value Of the
picture itself. Small pictures may be
grouped successfully, but always
should be placed against a wall
space where they will not appear to
be overcrowded. If a picture has
strong color apparel, hang 1t where
there will be nothing to contrast I'M
favorably with the color emphasized.

Regular transatlantic telephoning is
now an accomplished fact. Every day
business and private interests In New
York and London are calling back and
forth with little more difficulty than
as though only the Hudson River sep
arated them instead of $500 miles of
ocean.
The first official communication
opening the regular service was on
January Z between Walter s. Clifford,
President of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, and Sir G.
Evelyn p Murray, Permanent Secre-
tary of the General Post Office Of Great
Britain, the department which controls
and operates the telephone system Of
that country. After their conversation
was concluded the radio channel was
made available for commercial service,
As transatlantic telephone commu-
nication is not possible at the present
time by cable. the wire circuits at
either end are connected with radio
towers which send the voice waves as
picked up by an ordinary telephone
across the ocean In amplifed form.
Despite the use every morning Of two
big radio stations, one transmitting at
Rocky Point, L. l., and the other at
Rugby. England, ether space is econo-
mixed by transmitting at each end on
the same wave length. When the Lon.
don subscriber speaks, his circuit to
New York is switched on and the cir.
cult from New York to London is
switched of. This goes on automatic
ally during the conversation.

yelopment which modern civilization

And fairly soon the anxious head
Of family is specifying the exact &C
commodations he desires and learn
ing whether he can have just the suite
that would suit grandmother.
There are limitations 10 this service
imposed by the nature Of radio, not
common to the wire service. There
are also limitations imposed by the
fact that there is five-hour difference
in time between New York and Lon
don. Due to these limitations the
service at the start at least will be
limited to the hours from $50 A. NJ.
to P. NJ, New York time, which cor
responds to 1880 P. NJ. to 6 p. M. in
London. At present the service is
limited to telephones in the metro
politan areas Of New York and Lon
don, but If conditions prove favorable
1t will In the future be extended to
more distant points, the ultimate goal
being the possible connection Of any
telephone in America with any tele.
phone in Great Britain and Ireland.
The charge for three minute con.
versation, either with a designated
party or telephone, is $75 between the
two cities with a charge of $25 for
each additional minute or fraction
thereof. In transactions where 9

involved, this method of rapid com
munieation has been found to be rela

The third transcontinental telephone
line just completed through the great
northwest by the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company is now in
service. The ceremony incident to
placing this new line in service was
held in the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce at Washington with Samuel NJ.
Greer, Vice-President of the Chssa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany as master Of ceremonies. John
W. OLeary, President of the U. 8.
Chamber OF Commerce after being In
troduced by Mr.. Greer made the open
ing address to John w Spangler,
President Of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and to President Raymond
b. Wilcox OF the Portland Oregon,
Chamber of Commerce.
As a preliminary to the opening OF
this line W. s. Clifford. President Of
the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company from his office in New
York greeted officials OF the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph Company at
Seattle and Portland. and ViceP resl
dent Greer at Washington. With the
exchange of greetings completed the

First Motor Cycle

The earliest known attempt at Q
two-wheeled vehicle which would pro-
coed under its own power is said to
have been made by w. w. Austin of
Winthrop, Mass, In 1858. 1t was pro-
PEELED by coal-burning steam engine.
Other more or less similar affairs fol-
lowed in 1884 and 1886. In 1895 a
cycle propelled by combustion en-
CINE using gasoline was exhibited at
Madison Square garden, in New York
city. This has been called the first
appearance Of the motor cycle In the
form In which 1t is known today.

CLin1ate and CoIda

While every one has his own belief
or superstition about common colds,
recent investigations have shown that
these beliefs are without scientific
basis, says Hygeia Magazine. Over
exercise, cold baths, loss of sleep,
drafts, kinds of underwear worn, kinds
Of shoes worn in wet weather, mouth
breathing, sweating after exercise,
coal stoves, steam heat, lack of heat,
ventilation and climate did not seem
TO influence in any way the number
Of colds caught by the subjects.

TroUel Far for Ochre

travel several hundred miles afoot t.

some connection with the million
dollar Ford.Sapiro libel suit, and
second, that it might cause con.
fusion in his own gigantic automo.
bile industry.
As for the first reason, it was
said, Ford feared the public might
believe that a crank" was inspired
to attack him because of his oppo-
sition to Sapiro. As for the other,
Ford was said to feel that il the
dealers in his car became aware of
his serious injury. it might tend to
disorganize his business.
Believes 1t Was Plot
Ford himself is absolutely con-
WINGED that the accident" was a
deliberate plot on his life. For this
reason. his entire secret police force
constituting hundreds of men
are searching for the Studebaker
car which Ford saw parked outside
his Dearborn office before he en-.
tered 1t last Sunday night and as
he left It for his home. It was
this same Studebaker, Ford is Ger.
tain, that followed him down Michi.
gan Boulevard, attempted to run
into him as his little coupe
mounted the approach to a bridge
over the River Rouge and finally
did crash into him Just beyond the
bridge, The impact. tossed Ford's
coupe across the sidewalk and then
It crashed down q 15-foot embank.
ment into a tree.
The Ford police have obtained
the names OF the owners of every
Studebaker car answering the de.
scription as the one seen by the
Millionaire. They are engaged in
making car-to-car canvass, quietly
and without the assistance OF
public police. The latter were not
called in because of Ford's personal
dread for publicity Of this type and
because he was not certain just
what action he would take If the
car should be found.
Up to date, the Ford agents are
working merely under instructions
to locate q certain type car with
bent tenders on the front right side.
Even II located, there was no assus.

he may have suffered a crushed
lung in the accident. The posi-
bilities Of so serious an injury were
said to have been indicated by his
difficult breathing, the pain caused
him by any movement of the chest
and his not infrequent coughing
blood.
Resting Easy Now
The hospital bulletin today said
that Ford had spent q comfortable
night and was resting easily today.
Two Of the best known medical
men in America are in constant
attendance at his bedside. They
were DR.. r. D. Mcclure, chief sur.
econ, and DR.. Frank j. Sladem,
chief physician at Ford's hospital.
Both were resident specialists at
John Hopkins Hospital in Balti-
more before coming to Detroit. Sla-
dem was called in yesterday after
noon after F'ord's condition had
frankly puzzled his attendants.
Broke No Bones
Ford has been completely x-rayed
and the only information cleaned
from the developed plates. 1t was
eaid, was that he broke no bones
ii the crash. At first. it was feared
he might have fractured ribs. AS
Ford suffers constant pain in
breathing, fear was felt that a
lung may have been seriously in
jlIred when he was thrown against
the steering wheel and then through
the door OF his coupe. With a
damaged lung. it was pointed out,
Ford will be in constant danger of
contracting pneumonia. Every safe
&uard IL being taken to prevent this
compile alton.
The greatest assets in favor Of
the blllionaire's recovery, il was
said, were his tremendous physical
stamina and his twill to get well. !"
The auto king, according to his
