GOT MESSAGE FROM LIGHT
Famous Man of Letters Tells of Pe
culiar Effect 8imple Happening
Had on Schoolboy.
A friend of mine an old painter,
who went to school In the north oi
Scotland described to me his expert
euce. The dominie had one morning
been particularly drastic in his moth
odb. and this led to great concent rs
lion of thought among the pupils.
while at the same time It did not In
the least alter the usual current of
their Ideas. My friend, for Instance,
busied himself' as usual, observing
form and color, only with a keener
zest and, as I have said, a more con
centrated purpose. It was a spring
morning, and, for the first time that
year, a ray of sunshine came Into the
room, making a square of yellow light
on the diwty floor at his feet. It was
only at that particular period of the
year snch a thing was possible; later
on there would be too many leaves on
the trees, and In winter the sun was
not In that quarter of the heavens. My
friend was an unhappy and anxious
schoolboy, but the events of that morn
ing and the menaces of the dominie,
combined with the sudden sunlight at
Ms feet, made a new boy of- him, and
lie looked at the square of brightness
which stirred Ills heart. He rauelved.
as It were, his mystical message; and
some time afterward, leaving school,
he became a landscape painter. John

. Mere TJian a Sign Post.
There was once a detective story
written whose point lay In the manner
Ir. which a very familiar figure may
escape observation! In the tale several
.persons swore no one had entered
a certain building during a certain
'.space, "of thne. Afterward It was
Tiroved that the postman had visited
the place at his accustomed time, but
Ieng habit had rendered him psycho
logically Invisible to the witnesses.
So It Is with the familiar figures
upon our streets. How many times a
day we may pass by the traffic cop,
without perhaps realizing that he Is
something more than an animated sign
poet, until some act of courtesy awak
ens us to the Tact that a "cop" Is sim
ply a man. and a gentleman at that.
Kor, in spite of the many aggravations
that must come during a day of direct
ing trullic. most of these officers re
tain their good temper, and even go
out of their way to assist or direct

Water for House Plants.
Water is essential to the life of
plants, whether they lie in. the open
ground or In pots, for only in the form
of solutions in water can the roots
suck up the juices of the earth, and
It is the water circulating through the
channels of the trunk and branches
that permits the exchanges between
the leaves and the rest of the vege
table. I'lants In, n hosse should nut be
watered at regular stated Intervals;
do the plants out-of-doors receive rain
on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They
should be watered whenever they need
It. This Is (he only safe rule. Ami
we can tell when they need It by feel
ing the earth lu which they are grow
ing; so loot; as this feels moist the
plants do net need water.

Tested 250,000 Miles
Three-Point Cantilever Springs
Greatest Improvement Since
Pneumatic Tires
OVERLAND 4 has been put through the
most thorough and severe test possible.
250,000 miles of mountain trails, desert
sand, heat, cold, mud and dust, demon
strated the quality of every part of the car
long before we began manufacturing.
This remarkable test show ed conclusively
that Three-Point Cantilever Springs, , exclu
sive with Overland, arc the greatest improve
ment in riding comfort since the introduc
tion ofpneumatic tires.
They protect the car frony road shocks
and prolong the life of every part.
They enable the wheels to hold
better to the road. They give
greater comfort under all road conditions.
They do away almost entirely widi side
sway and rebound which twist and rack the
car.
Diagonal attachmentof the Three-Point
Springs at both ends of a 130-inch Spring-1
base gives the steadiness and smooth riding
of die heavy car of long wheelbasc.
Equipment is complete from Auto-Lite
Starting and Lighting System to Marshall
