(■ Place of the Priente of Pole« Tidal waves nsed to be things that just happened. They swooped down unexpectedly, destroyed life and left the shores strewn with the wrecks of ships. Nowadays tidal waves are not so much to be feared, for men have learned to read the advance signs of nature. The warning sent out from Kilauea volcano observatory In Ha waii several hours in advance of a possible tidal wave gave people more than ample time to make themselves snug and moor their ships fast. Luckily, If the earthquake 2,200 miles away did cnufce a wave. It was not serious In Hawaii. And Pelee, looking down from the place where exiled goddesses abide. If there be such a place, must have been pleased that what science predicted did not amount to much. For Pelee was the goddess who dwelt In the eternal Ores of Kilauea until the missionaries chased her out Her ancient priests, too, uttered their prophecies of tidal waves. The difference Is that the men who now make the predictions, depend upon the seismograph. Pelee's priests relied on the wrath of Pelee against people who did not behave to suit them. S u rg e ry ’s G r e a t D e b t to Humble Guinea Pig I f a guinea pig could live long enough, he might become something of a scientist himself. His constant association Is with scientists and with the most daring and advanced. He might himself solve the mystery of why he Is called guinea pig, being neither a pig nor originating In Guinea. When memorials are reared to those who have done the most for medical and biological science, shouldn't the guinea pig have one— even a statue, Robert Collier, writing In the SL Louie Globe-Democrat, asks. Thia small an imal has suffered, bled and died for the humnn race. We owe it honors. It Is a vicarious martyr, for surgery, now the wonder of the world, going so far as to rejuvenate man, could se cure so much thorough and convinc ing resnlta. If It could practice on man instead o ' guinea pigs. In this, the knife must wait on time and circum stance, and go slowly, for there are few voluntary guinea pigs among hu man creatures. Museum for Him Mr. and M rs Stone were doing the town recently In their newly pur chased auto. The day being Ideal Mr. Stone was constantly going Into rap tures concerning almost everything. Ills enthuslnsm reached Its climax just aa they were ronndlng the Art mu seum. It was here that the exuberant hus band lurried a lingering glance at a pair of striking blondes on the walk. “ Please keep your eyes In front and your mind on the car," was Mrs. Stone's snappy auggeatlon. "But, dear,” replied the piqued one. "1 shall always admire beauty despite the fact that I am a married man." “Well, that being the case," an swered the less appreciative Mrs. Stone, “we'll spend the balance of the day across the way In ths museum." —Philadelphia Public Ledger. success.—OrlL HERALD, H E R M IS T O N , 24,000 FARMERS IN SURVEY DECLARE FERTILIZER PRICES ONLY “ AVERAGE" Their Answers to Q uestions Show T hat Most Farmers Think Price N ot High. “As compared to other things, do you consider fertilizer low, average or high In pricer* This question was answered last summer by orer 48,000 farmers In 35 states.

Long before your General Motors car is built, specimen models are sent to theProv- ing Ground. This fleet is tested in actual use. It has to meet every bad driving con dition, from heart-breaking hills to slam- bang bumps. But that isn’t all. O ther cars of American and European manufacture are bought and put through the same tests, so that General M otors always knows how its products compare w ith others. The tests involve speed, power, endurance, braking, rid- ingcomfort, handlingease;fuel, oil and tire economy; body strength—every phaseofcar construction and performance. When the specimen cars arc finally able to meet every test, they are sent back to the factory. The car you buy is made exactly like them. The next time you examine a General M otors car in your dealer’s showroom, think of those ix68 acres. They would make a big farm. But they make a better promise of proved car value. $515—3715.
