What the World Is Doing
CINNAMON AND BRONZE
Drugs
.....................
Once there was held a coo ven I Ion
of clever business women. From De­
troit, Cleveland, Seaitie, New York and
elsewhere they hobnobbed or devel-
. oped temporary factions and autag-
' onlsms. Many "big" women stood out
from the crowd.
One of them was particularly strik­
ing looking. She wore brown, nut dead
brown, but "the vivid child of cinna­
mon and bronxe” as some one put It.
Sports coat, dinner drees, evening
dress, all cggrird the same note. Her
clothes spoke of mooey of good taste,
ef that sophisticated something that
makes a woman look distinguished
100 yards away.
By and by some of the distant curl-
00s got doser to tbe stranger. Her
age was apparently the early thirties.
Her coloring was the sort to support
and be lntenslfled by the clever warm
brown flannel and bronzed brocade.
"She runs a book store and makes
»10,000 a year," was the next Item of
Information that went the round«.
"She'« very sure of herself, but not
In the least snippy," some one else
contributed.
"And did you notice that when
bonds were pledged In the executive
session she Just naturally aeemed to
head up her atate delegation?" an­
other Mlsa Gossip announced.
Introduced
eventually,
Christine
Coffee proved, as the girl mild, calm
but not anlppy. She hud driven her
mother and sister up for the week—a
000-mlle drive n<>t ull over good road«
—and she had to see thut they were
amused. That bud kept her from mak-
Ing many acquaintances convention­
fashion.
Tbe book store, in the West Vir­
ginis capital, started as a very tiny
venture. It had grown gradually but
soundly ss the shifting imputation of
the cspltsl proved to wnnt one sort of
thing, the permanent residents a some­
what different line. In Miss Coffee's
calm eyes, finding out whnt people
want and furnishing It to them seems
like doing sums in multiplication. Yet
Informative folk often furnish stag­
gering statistics on the nnintier of
merchant bankrupts in the U. 8. A.
per year!
unexpected
Occasionally,
from
sources, some other detail of Christine
Coffee's book store in Charleston
drifts Into daylight.
None of them
contradict the Impreeaion given by the
woman herself. All of them credit s
personality to the little shop as spicy
as cinnamon, as richly permanent as
bronse.
the
Official «etimates place the number of
motor vehicles owned and operated in the
United States at 14,000,000. the lovesu
ment represented being about SlOOdOv-
000,000 and the total cost oi tnainter.snrw
doss to »'.600 000 000 a year.
This
amount is said to equal more than half at
all taxes. It is contended that payments
made by owners of motor vehicles for
highway service should be in proportion
to the benefits received; that taxation
should not be uniform but should cor­
respond to the highway facilities of ths
different states

Spring Brake on Farm Wagon
Saves Horses and Driver
Wagon brakes are automatically set
when the horses stop, thus keeping the
weight of the load from the hoidhack
straps and collars, by a patented spring
arrangement designed so that it can be
ing lawbreakers and as a torpedo earner attached to an ordinary farm vehide. It
for battleships. Six of the boats, he de­
ciares, each with space for four torpedo
tubes, can be kept on one warship. Tbe
boat is thirty-two feet long, ha« a aevea-
fout beam and runs in shallow water.
Glider Boat Skims on Water, Ice or Snow
Designed to skim over the surface of
the water or acrom ice or snow, a seagoing
“glider," equipped with «□ airplane en­
gine and propeller, is being tested. The
inventor has planned the craft as an aid
to police and government officials in chas-
Ducks and Loons Use Wings
to Swim under Water
Do ducks use their wings while swim­
ming under water? The question is dis­
cussed frequently among «portsmen and
nature students, and opinions sometimes
differ. Testimony of reliable authorities,
however, supports the belief that various
species of ducks and grebes, loons and
other diving birds do use their wings
when swimming beneath the surface for
food or in trying to escape capture. A
ruddy duck was observed in Lake Mich­
igan not long ago. feeding in fifteen or
twenty feet of clear water. As it got w.ll
started on its downward plunge, tbe
wings, about two-thirds extended, were
used in quick, short strokes at the rate
of about one a second to assist in propell­
ing it and in rising to the top as well.
Preventing Aerial from Rolling
One of the mast common troubles ex-
penenced with multi-conductor aerials is
that the spreader turns around in a wind-
storm and the
wires crons, mak­
ing it ner rasa ry to
dimb up on the
roof to disentangle
them again. A aim­
pie and effective
method of prevent­
ing this trouble is
to suspend a
weight, which may
be a heavy pipe elbow, from each
spreader as shown in the ill net rat ion
The weight is tied to the center of a
rope and the ends of the rope fastened to
the ends of the spreaders as shown.
is connected directly with the doubletree*.
As tbe horses start, tbe pull is exerted on
tbe spring in front, thus making the load
easier to start, as the fores reaches the
wagon gradually. Thia forward move­
ment also releases ths rear spring pres­
sure on the brakes. In going down hills,
the hand brake is available. The device
aaves the labor of locking tbe handle in
the ratchet each time the wagon is
stopped, esses the work of the horses and
of tbs driver, and revss wear on tbe har­
ness.

Wooden Shoes
“The peasants in America do not wear wooden shoes at all,
even in the fields!’’ writes Abbe Pierre, of Gascony. “No, the
peasants tlierfc wear shoes of leather, although I should think that
sabots would be much more serviceable, not only on the roads, but
plowing. . . . And wooden shoes are far less expensive. Ah,
that America is an extravagant country!”
Advertisements haven’t yet taken the heavy wooden shoes
from Gascon feet—nor yet the heavy wooden shoes from Gascon
minds. Gascony thinks in the past. America in the future.
Advertisements make the difference. They crisscross im­
provements in countless directions across the miles. They dis­
tribute Fords, furnaces and electric lights so widely that foreign­
ers think you extravagant to enjoy them. They put you in toiich
with the latest conveniences. They help so many people enjoy
those conveniences that their cost to you is small.
You read advertisements to link yourself with the best—to
substitute speed for the shambling progress you otherwise would
have to make in the lonely wooden shoes of isolation.
I)o you read them regularly1? Good habits pay.
Advertisements are a reliable buying
guide obtainable in no other way
