Device Reveals Operation Economy
Free Wheeling Hupp Has Revolution Counter

| In connection with the appearance lhere of Hupmobile's White Ghost, which demonstrates the savings in l car operation costs obtainable through free wheeling, considerable interest has been illustrated by the | use of a small device known as a lrevolution counter. It is the func- ton of this accurate device to count the revolutions of the engine on the
 White Ghost over given distance | in both free wheeling and in con- Iventional gearing.
 The revolution counter, which was made especially for Hupmobile by lVeeder- Root company of Hartford. Connecticut, counts each revolution of the engine during operation. Thus, | 1t is possible for this new Hupmo- bile to be driven over particular distance in convential gear and, at | the conclusion of the run, for the driver to know exactly how many times the engine turned over. Then the trip is again made entirely in free wheeling over the same route and the engine revolutions are again recorded by this accurate counting machine.
 There Is no chance for error and the revolution counter may be att tached in a minute or two just prior to the start of the drive. In all of the tests conducted in national wide educational campaigns by Hupmo- bile this revolution counter has dis closed free wheeling saying in en- gfher operation of an average of 2O%. Tn other words, these tests re- veal that in a seasons mileage of 10,-
 900 miles. the engine turned over the equivalent of only 5000 miles. It is thus possible to drive 40 miles on your speedometer and the engine op- crates only 30 or 32 miles out of this distance.
 It is this saving in engine opera ton that has brought such tre- mendous popular appeal for Hupmo- bile's free wheeling throughout the Limited States and Canada since its IintroductiCn on all models at low tered prices In January.

Alfred Malitesto of Hartford, ar- rested here two weeks ago. entered Q plea of guilty to illegal transpor- tation of alcohol. He was given 1z by Traffic Officer William Duggan. Suspicion was attracted to him as he, sped by the red light at the inter section of West Main and Leaven- worth streets. Officer Duggan chased after him. Near the Elks' club the car in which the accused was riding, slowed down and the driver was observed tossing two one-gallon cans of alcohol under a parked car. A citizen called the att tention of the police to the act and Malitesto was turned over to the federal authorities after paying a fine of $5 for passing the red light.

CAPTURE OF yINCENNES

CAPTURE OF VINCENNES
On Feb. Is, 1779, George Rogers
Clark, with a band Of 200 men, cap
tured Fort Vincennes, in Indiana,
from the British.
Clark had undertaken to conquer
the territory northwest of Ohio for
Virginia, which was then held by the
British forts at Detroit, Vincennes.
Kaskaskia and Cahokia. The whole
region was claimed by Virginia as
part of its original charter domain.
Aided by Patrick Henry, then gov
ernor of that state, Clark collected q
small body of frontiersmen who pro-
posed to fight on their own RESPONSE
bility quite independent OF either
Washington or Congress-.
In Kaskaskia, ILL.,, Clark o the
goodwill of a French priest through
whose influence the French garrison
at Vincennes took the oath of al
legiance to the republic and hoisted
the American flag.
Meanwhile the British recaptured
Vincennes. Clark at once set out to
get it back again. Marching 200 miles
in the dead of winter across drowned
lands" his brave band reached the
fort nearly dead from hunger. After
a sharp fight Clark took the fort.
This marked the end Of British au-
thority in that section.

Lost in the Shuttle

The greatest defect Of the short session of congress Is
the fact that many meritorious bills fail of passage
simply because the shortage Of time prevents them from
getting a hearing.
A case in point is the bill now pending to repeal the
wartime espionage act. This act-an emergency wal
measures still a law, although imperative except 1or
a section which gives the ~postoffice department the power
to exclude from the mails any matter it considers sedi-
tious. Senator Walsh of Montana has introduced a re-
pealer, which the senate has passed; but the extreme
congestion Of the house calendar makes it probable that
the repeater will simply die of neglect.
It would be a good thing for the country to get this
law off it's statute books. It is a pity that the legislative
jam which is an inevitable accompaniment Of the out
moded short session is apt to prevent its passage.

Small Town Women Happiest

When YOU read the humorous gibeS In newspapers
about college professors who have expressed themselves
publicly on the woman question, you are likely to get
the impression that all educators are impractical in such
matters; that they live in a world of theories and books
and have little contact with actual life. This is a mis-
conception, and there is probably no more truth In it
than in the popular fable that all preachers sons are
bad.
Prof. Walter r. Pitkin of Columbia university has
recently issued a statement in which he advances the
social life is satisfactory. if their bodies are healthy and
if they spend their leisure time to their satisfaction.
they rarely fail to be contented and happy.
"Of course" we hear you say, that's just another OF
those PROFESSIONAL plattudes-any woman who has all
those things must be happy" But wait. we are not
quite through with Prof. Pitkin yet.
He says that the small town woman may achieve hap
piness and contentment easily, while the city woman
almost never can. When Pitkin refers to city women. 1t
may be assumed that he means those who reside in the
great metropolitan centers.
The small town woman, according to Pitkin, has her
home, her own husband, and friends; business does not
poison her life and she is secure in the best sense
Friends in the small town. he says, are more than pleas
they entertain themselves. Evenings at home are looked
forward to.
The Columbia professor comes to the interesting con-
clusion that as Americans grow more and more civilized
they will forsake the big cities as men OF old fled the
plague. He believes that big cities tend to disintegrate
the person who tries to dwell in them permanently, and
that they have a far worse effect upon women than
upon men.

Not So Encouraging
(McClusky Gazettel

In answer to an inquiry about organizing All clubs
in Sheridan county, G. F. Monroe. director of extern
sion at the Agricultural college, says: Our experience
has been that it Is very difficult, to carry on club work
where there is no county agent due to necessity of con-
siderable follow up work and very frequent contact with
asking Mr.. billing who is in charge Of club work here. to
answer you more in detail.
MI. Monroe's answer is not very encouraging, nor
should it be taken in the light of encouragement. Boys
ana girls clubs are not being organized everywhere.
chiefly because many consider that too much time and
work are necessary. We may draw the conclusion from
Mr.. Monroes reply, that to organize a All club there
must be shown a willingness to do real work and also
the assurance that the work will be done. Also. those
who sponsor the organization must show a willingness to
give as much of their time as Is needed. This All club
proposition will be further discussed after we hear from
MI. Killing.

(Christian Science Monitor,

NCnISLIAn SCIcuCe 1OOACOIJ
It has become customary these days to criticize not
only the masculine contingent Of the younger generation
but the young women as well. on the ground that these
citizens of tomorrow are preoccupied with the Things OF
passing interest to the neglect OF those Welghter mat
ters upon which the civilization Of each successive age
must rest. Another side Of the picture is presented by
the many thousands of young women who make up the
rank and file of the Young Womens Chrlstlan aSsocla-

In this organization groups Of feminine youth in forty
nine nations are welded together for the purpose OF

A Scientific Religion

For Dr.. Charles Francis Potter, the prominent New
York "hunanist' minister, one is bound to feel a good
deal of respect; but when he says-as he did, recently
that religion cannot really develop until it becomes
scientific, one is entitled to wonder just what the gentle
man thinks religion is.
The miracles Of science draw our admiration. and by
and large the earthly future of the race is pretty well
dependent on the achievements Of the scientists. Yet
while our lives will more and more be conditioned by
science as the years go by, religion remains in a field
apart, and 1t always will. To speak Of a scientific
religion" is to speak Of something that is quite incom-
prehensible.
Science rests on proofs, experiments, painstaking win
nowings of truth from the material gathered by in
Vulnerable researches. Religion is different. It does not
depend on proofs; it never can, in the very nature Of
things. 1t grows out Of faith. which can never be reduced
to a simple equation.
The scientist believes what he believes because the
facts have convinced his intellect; the man who nourishes
a religious belief believes in 1t because he has to-be-
cause there is an imperative need within him that will
not be satisfied with anything else.
What is religious faith, anyway? It is what a mother
believes when she looks down at a child that she has
just tucked away in its bed. It is what makes some
very old people serene and unafraid as they slowly 60
down the last hill and watch their shadows %lengthen in
front of them. 1t is what the music and the colored
lights of a great cathedral can persuade one of, some
times. IL Is ~ SuAucA, uHIcdSOAAdOlc UcAc IA
kinds divinity that comes to a man, now and then, when
he sees the beauty that his fellows can create, or marvels
at the unselfishness and heroism of which they are
capable.
Now all of that does not, depend on science. 1t cam
not. Study the sciences until you are gray-haired,
and coordinate all that you have learned into a unified
and comprehensive set Of probabilities; you may create
a very fine philosophy, but you will not create a religion.
A distinguished American writer recently defined the
-, ~. 49, fn~Yc ona~to~kY Ofh
need of God, a longing for God, and the sense Of another
world than this That sums 1t up very well. Can you
improve such a faith by an injection of, say, the Elm
stein theory?

EYEsTR4AIN OFTEN CAUSES SITES

Sites are really small boils which
form on the edge of the eyelids. They
are due to the infection by pus-form-
ing organisms Of the small oil glands
which secrete oil for the eyelashes.
These pus-forming organisms are
present on the fingers and probably
the eyelidS Of everyone, and yet they
cause an infection in only a small
number Of cases. The reaSon for this
Is that they will not cause an infec-
ton unless the body's resistance Is
broken down.
The skin really acts as a germ
proof covering which keeps these in
fective bacteria out, but II the resist
ence of the skin is lessened by rub
bling the cyelids, as children frequent
ly do, or by congestion of the eyelids
from eycstrain, the germs may enter
and bring about a sly. It is notice.
able also that blends and red-heads
r much more often affected by
sites than brunetteS. This Is because
the skin of brunetteS Is usually thick
er and more resistant.
It is also found that children who
study too much, or who strain the
eyes by poor light, or who need
glasses, vii, often form the habit of
rubbing the eyes frequently. While
rubbing, the child will carry to the
lids the germs which are to cause the
infection, providing the resistance is
below par. Thus, the bacteria locates
and sets up a local infection which
becomes the sly. First, you will find
acidosis and ~enervation, then local
irritation through rubbing, and final
ly, the sly.
When there is only a single sly, 1t
Is probable that the infection was
more or less accidental, but where
there are flocks of sites occurring
from time to time, it is an indication
that the body's resistance has been
greatly reduced by eyestrain, enerva-
ticn or acidcsis.
Once the sly has started, the best
treatment is to use hot packs over the
eyes several times daily. Hold a cloth
wrung out of hot water over the eyes
and for several inches around the
eyes. In a day OF two the sly will
ripen and discharge. If there is a
hair growing out of the middle of the
sty. it is a good plan to pull the hair
out to start the drainage. After the
sly comes to a head it is all right to
press the pus out gently but do not
squeeze too hard or you may spread
the infection to the other small
glands in the eyelids.
The permanent cure for sites is to
have the eyes examined to see if there
is any eyeStrain and to increase the

The Least That Could Be Done

It is hard to quarrel very much with the University OF
Michigan,s decision to paddock" temporarily at least,
the five fraternity houses in which considerable guam
titles of liquor were seized by police in recent rsids.
Students who go to colleges and universities are more
or less entrusted by their parents to the care of the school
authorities. It is up to these authorities to see to 1t
that the young people are given wholesome surroundings
and a proper environment during their leisure hours.
Parents could hardly be blamed for feeling that the
authorities were falling down on their jobs II student
fraternity houses were permitted to keep large stores OF
liquor on hand. We do not see how the University OF
Michigan officials could have done other than they did.
