the hero is human nature and the
villain, folly"
The author also sings this tanta-
lzing morsel in your face when she
writes: ANY person or persons who
attempts to recognize their own sor-
did idiosyncraSieS in any character
or characters in this book are
warned that anything they say will
be used in evidence against them"
The chief character in this rather
smartly constructed vinegar han
ding of mental petting on the con-
tinent among those who have
castles and those who want to move
in, is Claudia, who started out as
an ugly duckling.
Her rather lofty parents OF
thought they were and so did not
have much time to share with
Claudia and her brother, John.
The author gives this picture of
Claudias father: ITO John and
Claudia he was represented as
terribly just and severe judge, who
would stand no disobedience, listen
to no excuses and brook no delay.
How surprised his friends would
have been, who knew that he would
stand almost anything from them.
They could live on his bounty from
year to year, trade on his good
name and credit, take advantage of
his unfortunate choice in lady
friends-he minded nothing as long
as they stood by him. He dreaded
being alone and would do anything
to keep his friends about him, from
the time he awoke in the morning
to his last minute of consciousness
at night
So you see that Claudia's father
did not have much time for his
children as the period of uncon-
seriousness might come any time.
You will howl when you read
about Claudia's grandmothers. The

AUTOS ALONE CHEAPER
IN15-YEAR SCHEDULE
Dollar Buys More Value in Cars
Today Than Ever Before.

A comparison of fifteen years ago
with today finds that the purchas-
ing power of the dollar has shrunk
as applying to practically every
business excepting only the auto
motive industry, according to T. A.
Bell, local Dodge Brothers dealer.
THE dollar invested in an auto
mobile today represents more actual
value than at any time in history"
said Bell. Never have performance
and appearance of motor cars been
at a higher standard, and never
has it been possible to buy such
comfortable and dependable per-
sonal transportation at such low
cost.
Contrast this situation with other
commodities such as food, clothing
and household goods. Here the price
scale is greatly advanced over that
of fifteen years ago"

PETRIFIED TREES FOUND
Montana Discovery Indicates Storm
Blew Timber Down.
By Science SerUice


WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-A new
petrified forest, the only one so far
discovered with the trees lying as
they fell millions of years ago, is
reported by the United States bureau
of reclamation. 1t was found by a
bodybuilding expedition on the
lower Yellowstone reclamation prof.
ect, about three miles southwest of
Savage, Mont.
The petrified forest covers several
acres. Some of the trees are ten
feet in diameter and more than one
hundred feet long. They all lie with
their tops pointing in the same di-
rection, indicating they may have
been blown down by a storm. The
shape of the trunks suggest they be-
longed to the same forests that sup
piled the materials for the nearby
beds of coal.

DRIVE FOR 464 HOURS
Man and Wife Set Unusual Record
at Salt Lake City.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 16.
"A striking demonstration of en-
durance, human and mechanical,
was given by two drivers, one of
them a young woman, and four
speed Graham-Paige, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Williams, without ever
leaving the car, completed non
stop run of 464 hours and minutes.
In the nineteen days and nights of
continuous driving, they completed
1892 laps around the half-mile
dirt track at the Utah state fair
grounds.
AS a test of stamina between man
and machine, the result was a draw,
for both the car and the drivers
apparently were good for many more
hours when the end came, suddenly
and prosaically, one midnight, with
a nail through the right rear tire
of the Graham-Paige 621 sedan.

Labor Head Urges
Support of Red Cross

Invariably it is the masses OF
the people which suffer most when
disasters occur stated William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, recently.
Because they suffer most and
because of their helplessness, the
ministrations of the Red Cross or
ganization take on added signifi.

many lives among these particular
groups are saved through the
prompt service which this organi-
cation gives.
Because the American Fedora
tion of Labor appreciates this fact,
we have supplemented the appeal
Of the American Red Cross at each
Roll Call period for memberships
from the great mass of working
men and women and their families.

DEVELOPMENT NEAR GALENA
Section Between Lambson's and
Blacks Laid Out in Truck Farms

Galena, Md, Nov. ia large
Chicago service company has this
week signed options with owners
of a number of farms lying be-
tween Lambson, Blacks and this
town and covering an area of
about 5000 acres. According to
present plans one of the largest
real estate developments ever
made on the Eastern Shore will re-
suit from the agreement when a
community of little farm homes
will be established, ranging in size
from three to 40 acres. The de-
veloping company intends to fl
nance the building and equipment
on the farms and, if necessary,
will till the acres and pay the pro-
ceeds to the owners. 1t is believed
many city dwellers in search of
rural atmosphere will come here to
live during part or all of the year.
Cooperative stores, factories and
other community organizations are
also being planned.

distinguished leaders who have

our Red Cross membership until
we can call a roll of every adult
American" stated the Most Rev

like to see the children listed in

in America, | bespeak for the
Roll Call of the American Red
Cross the fullest cooperation of
all the churches in the constit-
uency of the Council" writes
Francis j. Mcconnell. president
of the Federal Council. 81 can
not imagine that there is any
minister who will not be CRATE
full for the opportunity to call the
attention of his people to the
work of the Red Cross and to
urge them to enroll in its mem
bership."
