in beef and has reflected itself in lower

Every year stock imposters devise new
schemes to relieve the unwary Of their
money. Women must particularly be
on the alert, because they as rule are
more credulouS than men. This Is not
due to any lack OF intelligence on their
part, but simply to q lack of familiarity
with business customs and usages.
II you are on the mailing list Of a
tipster sheet, make 1t o practice to de-
stroy it before you even open the wrap

inspectors. II 1t Is put out in an in
eliminating form, you will soon find 1t

Most tipster sheets boom good stocks
while they make subtle mention Of their
own worthless ones. The idea Is TO
gain your confidence in order to make
a killing. The woman who invests
occasional sums of money Is advised to
disregard any sheet or pamphlet that
comes unsolicited and which originates
from unknown or doubtful sources.
Women sometimes cannot see how
money may be lost In buying some of
the leading stocks. The way in which
they may lose money is simple. They

AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

An old-fashioned Maryland garden
charmed me once at this season of the
year, and I have been telling myself a
resolute lie ever since-that would 60
back to see it again.
Except in the most general sort of
way cannot now remember where 1t
was. 1t had wealth of gigantic old
ailanthus trees-a species that I care
nothing for until it is aged-and bitter
sweet in a profusion. Add to this an
artificial but delicious old dowager of
a Fall garden plant, the celosia, globe
amaranthS, prince feather, spider
flower, double balSam, bleeding heart
and snow on the mountain and you
have the picture of Topsy's bouquet, all
fuss and feathers and incongruous COL
ors, such as great-grandmother thought
beautiful
But the secret charm of the garden,
to which the owners seemed to pay
scarcely any attention, was found in
two little lawn flowers, coming up in
the uncombed grass around a severe,
handsomely ugly, old Georgian manor
house. There were saffron crocuS hang
ing out its three golden stigmas from a
big cup of deepest, truest purple, and
the meadow saffron or Autumn crocus,
Of daintiest lilac-purple veined with
white and gold. which is, of course, no
crocus at all, as it does not belong to
the iris family, but is one of the lily
tribe, called by botanist and druggist
colchicum.
They carried me back, these two ne
elected, dainty flowers, to the Old
World Autumn, an Autumn on the hills
of Liguria, when the half-wild sheep
began to come down the mountains,
fearing the first Autumn storms, and
the slow-spoken shepherds stop at every
windy little shrine to pray.
1t is an odd thought that men and
women should ever have died for the
saffron crocus. But several men and
women and some girls were burned
alive at Nuremberg in the Middle Ages
for adulterating the saffron they sold
to a dyer's guild-so highly did the
guild prize its good name.
1t is a European legend found in
every country that pilgrim to the Holy
Land brought crocus home, hidden in
his palmer's stan, for the Turks re-
tanned it as a monopoly. There is no
inkling of truth in this, think. The
Romans had spread 1t long before that,
but there was q distant date when the
Island Of Cyprus had world monopoly
on saffron, the dye distilled from the
brilliant stigmas of the flower-a mo-
nopoly which Egypt, Tyre and Sidon
sought. And there, unnoticed and
SILENT the little flower doomed in the
weedy pasture OF the old Colonial
estate.
Even the gentler colchicum has had
its tragedies. for in London so years
ago a monstrous woman poisoned many
people whom she nursed with drops
squeezed from its deadly root And yet
a more childlike innocence does not ex-
list than that of the fragile cups of
colchicum uplifted to the mild Autumn
sunlight!

dorizes.
This undainty risk is one that
no woman of any pride of person
wants to run; SO it is not surprising
that 9 out of 10 well dressed
women use Kotex.
After all, this precaution is SO
easy. And Kotex offers so many
other superior features!
Kotex is iuconspienoas
Kotex, for instance, is non-deteetablF.
Corners are rounded and tapered
so no revealing outline can show.
And Kotex offers such a world
of comfort more than most
women ever dreamed Of getting

Letters should be kept until acknowl-
edged. Unless this is done, questions
may be left unanswered, for which re-
plies are expected, and contents cannot
be referred to with assurance.
There are exceptions to this rule,
but these do not alter the general appli-
cation of the rule. One exception may
be noted and that is request of the
writer that any certain letter be de-
stroyed Immediately after 1t has been
read by the person to whom 1t is ad-
dressed. Another is when the recipient
believes the contents of q letter should
be known only to herself.
Some persons always keep the last
letter received from a friend until an
other comes. This is good idea when
friendships are intimate.
Letters of business significance should
be kept until the transaction is closed,
anyway. II the business Is important,
1t Is wise to preserve them indefinitely.
Letters from notable personages
should be kept. Autographs are valu-
able in ratio to fame, and a letter if in
the persons own handwriting adds
worth, even though the letter In itself
Is not significant.
The letters that clutter up desks and
take up valuable shelf room in closets
are those kept without discrimination,
such as ordinary correspondence, bread
and-butter notes, thoughtleSSly kept
letters of regret and acceptance and
their kind All these have to be re-
read. or at last glanced through when
wedding out a correspondence. The
time put into such work is thrown
away. Better throw away the letters
as soon as their purpose is done.

Doctor on Wall Street.

This headline introduces a surgeon
whose father was q banker, and who
has reverted to type. He finds the
calm and conservatism of his medical
training quite as valuable in financial
as in surgical operations. He notes that
as many financial ailments are aggra-
waited by imaginary fears; that depres-
sion of nerves is reflected in the mar
ket, and that the intense strain of
transactions in the street is transformed
into high blood pressure. He l'reScribes
frequent short holidays and recon-
mends that the whole country take a
financial rest from Friday to Monday
to let the Wall Street fever abate. All
Of which suggests the prevalence in our
midst of a Wall Street mind. Is it
a menace to mental fitness? Do you
take a Wall Street cocktail or an ap-
petiZer?
What used to be the occupation Of
the few has become the preoccupation
of the many. 1t happened last Winter
that on three successive days was sit
ting in the Offices of a doctor, q pub
Usher and an editor, and in each case
our rather brief conference was inter-
rupted by a telephone call from a
broker. Whatever their main occupa-
ton, men, women and children are de-
veloping Wall Street mind. Il add
am acquainted each pupil Is given an
imaginary 81 900 to invest on the basis
of the real quotations, and his finan-
| cial I. @. is calculated accordingly
The gambling instinct is so deeply
set in human nature that the psychol-
| ogist (who gives daily thanks that he
isn't q moralist) recognizes it as objec-
lively as the appetite for food or foI
amusement. It's there, and the man.
agement of it is a problem of its own
by the same right as the others. TIC
keep it down to proper proportions is
all that you can expect of human ma
ture; it's bound to run away with those
who have 1t strongly. Man is a sport
ing animal no less than he is q social
animal, and what makes him SO is q
| part of him with just that mixed pos
sibility Of serving him or running him
that applies to any other complex trait
The spirit Of venture makes the
pioneer; 1t makes the explorer; it makes
the experimenter; it makes the pro-
moter and the Spectator; it all depends
upon what it mates with. The forty
miners and those who answered the call
of the Yukon weren't merely gold dig
! gers. Adventure appeals to gentlemen

ASSEMBLE CAR
IN TWO HOURS
Line Is 1,451 Feet Long and
Has Capacity Of One Car
Every So Seconds

How long is required for the final
assembly Of a motor car?
Despite the precision and care
necessary in handling the various
units along the two parallel assem-
bly, lines Of Dodge Brothers, a chaS-
sis frame Of the New six models
is a completed car and ready for
shipment just n hour and SO min
utSe after 1t starts down the as
Sembly line. These assembly lines
are l.45l feet long. and have a capa-
city Of one car every SO seconds.
Behind this final assembly-us-
ually the most interesting place to
visitors Of an automobile factory
is a story of efficiency comparable
to the system Of getting food and
munitions to the front line trenches
in warfare. Every department must
function so the parts continue to
move forward without interruption.
Costly delays would result If the
final assembly line weresheld up for
one part, so exacting timetable
schedules are kept on all depart
ments.
Hundreds OF inspections are made
on all parts at their various points
Of manufacture. 50 their quality and
e~xactneSs are insured and they fit
into the car Just like units Of a
puzzle. The manufacture and as
sembly Of the engine Is completed
with the dynometer test Just before
It is carried by conyeyors to the
final assembly lines and dropped
into the chassis.
"A few steps further down the line.
the exclusive Dodge Brothers Mono
piece body joins the chassis by be-
ing lowered through an opening
from the body department above.
and in a few minutes the horizonal
and vertical boiling Of this BODY
to the chassis is completed. From
this point. the car assembly con-
tinueS rapidly until every detail Is
finished. and the car leaves the as
scmbly line under its own power.
Once off the assembly line every
car Is given a final inspection and
then passes into the hands of the
distribution department which
routes the car by drive-awavs or
rail or boat shipment to dealers
throughout the country.
