a part of the area where the future
of the West is to be decided. There
are no lands In the world whose
stories are more absorbing than those
of these Islands. A bulletin Issued by
the National Geographic society gives
the following sketch of the Islands as
presented In a communication to the
society by Ernest Lloyd 'larrls.

ChloB, 150 miles to the north, once
one of the richest members of the
Ionian union, subject, "in turn, to
Athenian, Roman, Italian and Turkish
domination, has long been a bone of
contention between the Turk and
Greek, and was first reunited to Its
parent country, Greece, In 1913, after
a separation of more than 2,300 years.
The Chians Joined their brother
Greeks In the wars of liberation,
which began In the first years of the
last century. In 1822, the Turks
slaughtered 30,000 Chians in the space

and, today, Europe divided against It

Not only have Asia Minor and the
Islands facing Its Bhores been the
stage upon which have been enacted
some of the most gigantic events ln
human history, but this Is at the pres
ent time one of the most Interesting
and picturesque regions ln the world.

Rhodes an Island of Romance.
Rhodes, whose history Is one chap

mance from days of remote antiquity,
through Its reign as a cultural center
during the age of Roman occupation,
and Its golden period as the strong
hold of chivalry during the occupa
tion of the Island by the order of the
Knights of St. John, once dominated
the eastern Mediterranean, as a vest
pocket England oft the coast of Asia
Minor.
Cicero and Caesar finished their
education at Rhodes, but Imperial
Rome and Byzantium finally absorbed
the schools there. Next the Knights
of St John, founded In the eleventh
century at Jerusalem, after many
hardships, brightened again the an
nals of the islands by making lt their
home. They assumed the name of the
Psychology of Fiddler Crabs.
That fiddler crabs have minds may
Mtonish some people, but they are
only one of the multitudes of crea
tures so endowed. And the minds of
moUusks, Insects and starfish as well
as froge and birds and mammals are
worth studying, for there Is quite a
large amount of literature devoted to
the psychology of these despised low

The islands of the Aegean taken to

toric and Interesting insular regions
ln the world. Besides the 20 princi
pal ones, which have lent much to his
tory, there are Innumerable smaller
ones. The larger Islands have a num
ber of fertile and well-watered valleys
and plains, the principal products of
which are wheat, wine, oil, mastic,
cotton, silk, raisins, honey and wax.
Coral and sponge fisheries are numer
ous, and ln most of the islands the an
cient Greek type perseveres among
the people.
Tenedos of Strategic Value.
Among the advanced camps of fore
most Importance Is the allied French
and English base on the small Island
of Tenedos.
Tenedos commands the approach to
the Dardanelles, lying but eight miles
south-southwest from the mouth of the
strait and about five miles from the
coaBt of Asia Minor. Despite Its insig
nificant size, commerce, population
count, and productivity, it has been
visited by many an Imposing hostile
fleet and army
Uneven, rocky, almost mountainous
in parts, there are yet within the six
teen square miles ot the island's area
some very fertile soils. There Is some
fruitful garden land and rich pastur
age, but the most Important product
1b wine, of which some 5,000,000 gal
lons are exported each year. Tenedos
supports a population of about 4,000,
only one-third of whom are Mohamme
dans. The only town, of the same name
as the Island, Is Inclosed by rough
ened walls, and shelters, among other
remains from times long past, great
storehouses erected by Justinian.

Saving More Millions.
Millions of dollars will be saved the
government by the use of a newly de
vised Btamp-prlnting machine. The
apparatus Is scheduled to turn out a
mile of postage stamps every five min
utes. It was designed by Benjamin
R. Stlckney. There will be a saving
of 67 per cent in the production cost
of stamps.
This new machine, which prints,
gums, dries, perforates, and either
cuts into sheets or winds Into colls
12,000 stamps ln one minute, will save
the government several million dol
lars In the cost of stamps alone in
the course of a few years. The bu
reau of engraving and printing now
turns out 40,000,000 stamps dally, Cut
with the use of the new machine and
because of the Increased demand, it
will be able to manufacture many
more millions a day.
Price of a Son.
Professor Allen Hoben of the Uni
versity of Chicago says that one boy,
reared ln babyhood to the age of eigh
teen years, costs his parents $4,000,1
even if they are so poor that they must
live ln the slums. Wealthy parents,
he says, pay more, and he adds: "A
son Is truly a costly luxury." Yea, ao-
oordlng to Dr. Hoben's figures, even
the slum father could ln eighteen
years own a fine touring automobile
tor the sum he expends ln rearing a
son. And If he rears six sons that's
$24,000 on a salary of $1,000 that's
$"18,000 ln eighteen years think of the
art gems he could buy for his little
cottage. Wonderful what the science

SOMETIMES WE WONDER If prospective
buyers appreciate the full significance of the
famous Keo slogan quoted above or If, per
chance, some value it as lightly as they prob
ably do some other mere advertising' terms.
YOU NEVER BEAR of a Reo car developing;

YOU KNOW REOS for their marvelous uni

their economy of upkeep.
YOU'VE BEEN IMPRESSED by the fact that
every Reo owner you know is enthusiastic
about his Reo none of that diversity of opin

makes of cars.
BUT HAD YOU STOPPED to analyze the con
dition and to discover the reason?
SATISFACTION YES. But that alone Is not
all. Uniform satisfaction unanimous enthus
iasm among Reo owners those who use their
cars reasonably and equally those who abuse
theirs, as you know.

WELL THAT REO FACTOR of safety, "60

factor of safety is protection against all -kinds

8elM.lgh.tlng Smudge Pot for
Orchardlsts.
By the Invention of a simple ther
mostatic controlling device, a Los An
geles man has developed an Ingenious
apparatus for rendering the smudge
pota used by orchardlsts self-operating,
says the January Popular Me
chanics Magazine in an Illustrated ar
ticle. The appliance, which may be
fitted to any standard type of pot,
Is regulated by a small copper rod.
When the atmospheric temperature
drops to a predetermined point, the
contraction of the rod Is sufficiently
great to release a cup containing an
acid. The liquid la poured into a small
chamber provided in the smudge pot.
This holds a chemical substance which
burns upon the addition of the acid,
producing a flame that ignites the
crude oil used ln the pot. The ther
mostat may be adjusted so as to re
lease the acid when the temperature
falls to any specific degree. With this
apparatus in use, an orchard may be
protected from frost without personal
attention being given lt. Popular Me
