Steam Automobiles.
ME- HUNDRED AND SIXTY

NE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
FIVE YEARS AGO
Frenchman named Cugnot
drove the first automobile of
which we have clear rec
ord. 1t was a steam wagon" with
three wheels and with large boiler
in front. 1t ran at the rate of about
two miles per hour-not so fast as
man can walk. Every little while it
had to stop.
The thought of such a slow-mov-
ing automobile may bring smile to
us, but we must remember that the
trip was made long time ago. Cug-
not deserves high honor for his fine
work.
Frenchmen did not go ahead with
the idea, but the Englishmen did;
and they built steam coaches which
went fast enough to make people
afraid of them.
Goldsworthy Gurney won fame for
the steam coaches which he designed
and helped to build. In 1929 he used
one of them to go from London to
Bath and back again at a speed of
Is miles per hour. One Of the men
who went with him reported
THE success of the trial much ex-
ceeds what could have been expected.
Hills were assembled with the greatest
ease and safety. The machine far
surpassed horse-drawn coaches"
Gurney'S "horseleSS carriages" were
very much like ordinary stage coaches
except that they were fitted with
steam engines. One of them was
able to carry 18 passengers and had
small pilot wheels" in front. in ad-
dition to four large wheels. It carried
load of coke and so gallons Of
water.
A man named Tom Hood believed
there was danger of the boiler ex-
ploding, and wrote a kind of verse,
which ran:
Instead of journeys, people now
May go upon a Gurney,
With steam to do the horses work
BY power of attorney.
Though with a load it may explode,
And you may all be undone,
And find you're going up to heav'n
Instead of up to London"
That was the jingle, but the fact
was that GurneyS buses ran rather
well and took many persons safely
and rather swiftly from place to place.
Another Englishmen, Walter Han
cock, worked with steam coaches at
about the same time and made trips
with passengers, who paid for the
adventure.
Automobiles might have come into
general favor if laws had not been
passed to block their progress. One
law ordered that a man with a red
flag should go ahead of each coach
and wave a red flag to warn people
to get out of the way. This, and
heavy toll taxes for bridges and roads,
brought an end to the brave efforts of
the pioneers. More than half a CEN

would think he had thousand legs,
and when the millipede is stretched

both names are fairly good guides to
the form or looks Of the famous racer.
In the case Of our friend, the dragon

DEVILS darning needle and the snake
doctor. the name is all wrong.
These pests are not true insects.
They have two pairs of legs on each
segment of the body, whereas the in
sect has only one pair on each body
segment.
The milliped is easily disturbed and
tries to make his getaway with haste
and dispatch. He usually succeeds
unless there is something handy to
end his career with. Unlike his cousin,
the centipede, who goes to nothing
but a fine mass of broken threads,
which happen to be her legs, the

In cooking potatoes it is a saw

Stage fright may again be described
in terms of hostility. When the indi-

hostile to his theme he is pretty likely
to see old stage fright stalk across the
platform or to imagine that the clas-

him from the ceiling.

Hamburg Cakes.

Chop some lean, raw beef fine, and
season with salt and pepper and
minced onion if desired. Shape into
small fiat cakes and broil in a lightly
creased broiler or frying pan, turning
often. Five to ten minutes will be re-
quired. Spread with butter. When
shaping the cakes, handle them as
little as possible, for if pressed too
compactly the cakes will be solid and
hard.

Sardine Cocktail.

Use one lemon for every two people
to be served. Cut in halves, then cut
tiny bit from the end of each half,
so that it will stand steadily on a
plate. Scoop out the inside pulp and
fill with minced sardine mixture. To
each No. p can of sardines add a
teaspoonful of French mustard, two
hard-cooked eggs chopped very fine
a dash of Tobasco sauce, and mayon-
naise to moisten. Cut the peel Of
another lemon into tiny strips and use
for handles on the lemon basket.
Serve on lettuce.

Everyday Psychology

Stage Fright.

Stage Fright.
STAGE FRIGHT is a psychological
- fact which has far-reaching ap-
plications. 1t seems that performers
before the public never really do fully
outgrow it, even though they appear to
have conquered this old jinx. It's
hard to outgrow something that is
wrapped up in the very nature Of hu-
man beings.
Stage fright. in the first place. may
be described as feeling of timidity.
And timidity is mild form Of fear.
Fear of something, now and then, is
rs natural as breathing, and for that
matter. just as important for the
maintenance of life. 1t Is foolish to
imagine that training and experience
will root it out altogether.
Stage fright, in the second place.
may be described as a feeling Of in
feriority. And here again we have

Royalty Is but a Feather in
a Mans Cap"

A CAT may look at queen and a
commoner not only may but did
coin a line containing so much in
trinsic truth that it has taken its
place in the English language among
the classic remarks of history. A
reader sends us an inquiry on it.
The origin of the expression is
rooted in the turbulent history of
England and particularly with the
rise to fame and power of Oliver
Cromwell.
From his humble beginnings, Crom-
we'll achieved virtual dictatorship of
Great Britain. When offered the title
of King" however. which was voted
him in 1857 he rejected it in the now
famous words:

MAY YET HAVE
NEW CALENDAR
Less Antipathy to Change in
Measure of Time.

Back In the days when monarchs
were all that the word implies, Au-
gustus Caesar added a day to Au-
gust, the month of his birth, to put
1t on q par with July. which COM
memorates Julius Caesar. 1t would
scarcely be worth while to estimate
the cost of that act of vanity during
the last 1912 years. Even the en-
ergy spent by calendar reformers in
trying to correct this and other IT.
regularlties In the measurement of
time Is considerable. But Ii is worthy
of note that persistent efforts are
still being made to substitute for the
Roman calendar a more systematic
measure of time.
Interest In this subject Is attested
by the fact that % nations have ap-
pointed committees to confer with
the League of Nations regarding It.
The Eastern Orthodox church, with
membership of I40,000,O0> persons
recently endorsed the so-called world
calendar. Its action Is especially
significant because much of the OPP
position to calendar reform has come
from churches and other organiza-
lions that oppose tho shifting Of sig
nificant historical dates. IF opposi-
tion from these sources is over
come, the difficulties of securing
new calendar will be greatly mini
mized.
Adoption of Il 13-month calendar
now seems to be out of the question.
Most Of the reformers appear to be
swinging to the improved 12-month
calendar Of 364 days plus one year
day that would not be placed In any
month. Under this plan the year can
be divided into equal quarters, each
containing precisely 10 weeks. Each
quarter would begin with a month
containing 81 days, and would con
tain two other months of 30 days
each. Every month would contain
rs working days, thus eliminating
most of the irregularities between
the months SO far as business sta
tistics are concerned
