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. see ^Trading in dog shine is an important business in Mongolia and Msnrhuria.
