TU"AVE you ever
asked yourself
what more you
could want in an
Automobile tKan
the Studebaker
"25" gives you?
Run over in your mind the requi
sites of a fine car readiness for any
trip, mechanical efficiency, easy rid
ing qualities, power, speed, conven
ience, economy and notice how per
fectly the Studebaker "25" fulfills
your mental picture.
Yet $970 buys this car, complete
from silk mohair top to extra rim.
To find the superior of the "25"
in design and performance you must
go far up the price scale. Few cars
at any price possess the responsive
ness of the long stroke "25" motor,
and none is more easily controlled,
If you are seeking a car of moder
ate size, in which every detail satis
fies the most exacting, in which
weight is . replaced by lightness, and
where maintenance costs are low t
if you have an idea that $1000 would
about purchase such a car, we would
say to you "Less than that" and ,
strongly urge you to look over the
Studebaker "25".,

i - LEANING- OF "P0TLUCK."
On Plung of th Ladl, and Tak
What You Gt
The real origin of the word "pot
luck" Is unknown to most of the peo
ple who use It In Limoges, France,
however, one runs into potluck itself.
In a certain corner of that quaint city
of Jostling roofs there Is still segregat
ed, much as If In a ghetto, a Saracen
population, probably a remnant of the
wave of Saracens that swept over Eu
rope hundreds of years ago. Here they
live In their crooked, narrow streets,
following old customs handed down
from generation to generation. Tlrere
are many butcher shops In the quarter,
and outside-of each steams a great pot
of soup over a glowing brazier. In
each pot stands a ladle as ancient as
the pot
When a customer comes with a penny,
in goes the ladle and comes up full of
savory broth and chunks of meat, odds
and ends that the butcher has bad left
over. And what comes up the cus
tomer has to take. One can Imagine
how anxiously the hungry urchin or
the mother of seven must eye the In
exorable ladle and how a pretty girl
might get another . draw from the
butcher's boy. "
At any rate, "to take potluck" means
to take what you get and say nothing,
whether the not is in Limoges or in
the flat of the man who eagerly Invites
a friend of his youth to dinner. New

Giva Warning of a Storm.
In the bay of Biscay frequently dur
ing the autumn and winter In calm
weather a heavy sea gets up and rolls
In on the coast four and ' twenty
hours before the gale which causes it
arrives and of which It is tbe prelude.
In this case the wave action, generated
on the otber side of tbe Atiantlc by the
wind, travels at a much greater rate
than that of the body of disturbed afr
and thus gives warning of tbe coming
storm.

to rear my baby."

"But she got Into a perfect panic
when I asked ber to take care of the
child for a couple of days. Ton know I

Washington Herald.
Tho Saddla.
Early' Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded It as
effeminate to ride in a saddle. The
modern saddle, with pommel, crupper
and stirrups, was unknown to the an
cients. Nero gave out fancy coverings
to his cavalry, and the bareback riders
of the German forests used to laugh at
them. Saddles with trees came into
use in the fourth century, stirrups three
centuries later. ,

The periosteum, or the membrane
surrounding the bone, is essential to
the life of the boue. This contains
blood vessels which pass into the bone
itself.
Our First Almanae.
The first almanac in America was
the almanac of William Pierce of Cam
bridge, 1630. while the" most famous
was Toor Richard's, published by
Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia un

embellished with wise and witty say
ings. Common Now.

Evolution of Chamiatry.
The first chemists were the alchem
ists, who for hundreds of years vainly
tried to make gold by compounding va
rious chemicals. Chemistry was intro
duced into Spain by the Moors in 1150,
and the Chinese and Egyptians claimed
an early acquaintance with it How
ever, chemlHtry was not a science un
til the seventeenth century. Boerhaave
was the first to combine the study of
chemistry with medicine.
Russia a similar treatment Is followed
with good results.
Franoh Or dura.
A French statistician has recently
been very busy with the statistics of
the decorations in France and of the
number of people who habitually wear
orders. The net result of hla rather
startling calculations Is that there are
sixty-five different French orders and
they are worn by no fewer than 1,700,-
000 French men and women. That is
to say, one Frenchman in every twenty-one
wears a decoration of some
kind.
Jaoquard.
. Jacquard, the Inventor of the famous
loom, might have become a billionaire.
This unselfish Frenchman, though,
gave his invention to the government,
and all he got in return all ha asked
in return was a pension of $1,000 a
year.
Aaiatio Turkay'a Farma.
"According to Ottoman statistics, the
average farm in Turkey in Asia con
tains about ten acres. Twenty-eix per
cent of the total farms under cultiva
tion have an area of but two and one
third acres. 47 per cent are between
two and one-third and eleven and one
third acres in area, and 27 per cent
contain more than eleven and one
third acres. .

Willie's mother are good friends, and
both regret the tendency of the boys
to scrap, but so far their peace efforts
haven't been very successful.
