World's Oldest Wheel The oidest wheel yet found, dal ng from about 3,000 B.C., has been dis- covered in an ancient site in South- ern Baluchistan, it is announced in the annual report of the Archaeoiogi- cal Survey of India. It formed part of a twg-wheeled cart and is believed to be about 1,000 years earlier than the earliest wheels used in Egypt The find is of especial significance since the wheel is one of the funda- mental inventions of mankind. The discovery "of its principle greatly altered the course cf history. On the same site, the report states, were found the ruins of houses of burned brick anl a large walled rx- cavation with a drain which evidently was used as a bath by the ancient people. They also wove fine cotton materials. Skeletal remains show that they were a narrow-hcaded group, perhaps distantly related to the Medi- terranean peoples of Europe. Ap- proximately 1,000 seals with unde cipherable pictographs were found Evidence was found of a religion bas- ed upon worship of the great Mother God, with cults recalling those of Babylon and Crete. | BE °S---L Powers Live while you live, Life calls for all ! your powers; i { This instant day strength demands.

He makes rapid head- way in his studies and athletics, put finds a social barrier because af his sup- posed Chinese blood. A college girl, Alice Hart, pretends t: think a good vel of Sam, and is sent to Paris by Sam father to pursue her art studies. Then she refuses to marry Sam, who returne to college d'r'ilusicned. Sam formed a childhood friendship with Eileen Cas- sidy, a little Irish girl who played in the park with hin: near Chinatown, in New York. In later years Lee Ying, unknown to her and her family, procures a posi- tion for Eileen in the office of his white lawyers. CHAPTER X. The time was when an expert card player could make a good living by working the transatlantic liners, espe- cially if aided by an accomplice or two and perhaps by a cold deck. That was in the days when draw poker-was a national institution the rules of which were piously observed, and before irréverent fingers had fampered with its orthodoxy; before the introduction of deuces wild, dealer's choice, seven- card peeks and similar destructive customs and practices had degraded a scientific pastime into a mere game of chance. The metamorphosis of ,this noble recreation into an undignified amusement for morcns is a melan- choly aftermath of the World War, so its devotees declare. They assert that the appetite for swift action, variety. excitement germinating during a per- iod of high nervous tension is respon- sible for the outrage and they resent it. Mr. Everett Himes, who or several years had commuted pretty regularly to Eurcpe at the expense of his fellow travellers, complained bitterly that the 'meddling of neurotic amateurs had forced him to adopt a new profes- sion, several new professions, as a matter of fact. He hated briige, competition in the liquor business was keen, zo therefore he had taken to traveling in the interests of a Maiden Lane diamond broker who consistent- ly underscld the market. When the customs authorities became too deeply interested in Mr. Himes' comings and goings--more particularly in his com- ings--he fell back upon still other lines of endeavor in which he was skilled, such as pookmaking, stock promotions, blackmailing, pool play- ing. He played a very good game of pool, left-handed, did Mr. Himes: so good, in fact, that me knew exactly how many cue experts there were who could beat him. Right-handed, he was almost, but not quite, as skillful, and this unique gift of ambidexterity had stood him in good stead on more *han one occasion. In Brussels, for in- stance, 'he had challenged the local champion and had practiced assidu- ously in a public hall, wielding his cue in the ordinary manner and cover- ing all wagers lajd against him. On the évening of the match he had dis- mayed his opponent, and his audience as well, by playing left-handed. For! them it had been a disagreeable exper | ience and had resulted in strong feel- ings of anti-Americanism. At the time of our introduction Mr. Himes vas in New York and for rea- sons best known to himself he had interrupted his regular trans-atlantiz trips and for the moment he was avoiding Maiden Lane as if it were under quarantine. On this day he was entertaining a lady for -luncheon at his hotel: she was a middle-aged, florid, flamboyant woman who showed traces of considerable good looks. She went by the name of Stevens, but Himes addressed her familiarly as Esther. When they had finished their lunch- eon and the nearby tables were desert- ea Mrs, Stevens said: "Thanks for the whoopee, Everett, Tow let's get down to the dirty work. You didn't ask me here out of polite- {0 ness, so what's on yo.r mind, if such there be?" Himes grinned amiably. 'All busi- ness, as usual, eh? Tell me, first, how things are breaking." "They might be better and they might be worse. I manage to get by." "Would you be interested in a quick- money proposition?" "Would a duck swim?" Mrs.. Ste- vens retorted, then she added cau- tiously: "But no diamonds, Everett; I never got anything out of an iceman but ice, I'll wear 'em but I won't smuggle em." : "I'll put you go you can buy some and pay: the duty, How's that so- called niece of yours?" "Who? Mona?" "Have you got more than one?" "She's all right. Why?" "Doing anything?" "Oh, a little chiseling here and there. She was posing for a while, then I tried to get her in pictures--" "Pretty as ever, is she?" "She's got it on a lot of those pic- ture girls, but--lord, you can't get a toehold in the studios.

He squawked from here to Frisco and that killed it "Funny I never got into the foving picture game," Himes murmured medi- tatively, "I'd have mopped up. Same with the liquor business, Now the for- eigners have got 'em both cornered." After a moment,the woman inquir- ed: "Well, what's the new deadfall, and where do I head in?" "I don't know until I give Mona the double-o. She's got to look pretty." "Say! She doesn't look a day over fifteen." "Too young!" "Well, eighteen," Mrs. Stevens said in an effort at compromise. "I'7e got a set-up," Himes declared. "Honest, Esther, it's soft." "Hm-m! I suppose it's so soft you'll want the big erd." "Well, it's coming to me." "Yes? I've heard of these soft sel= ups. Nothing doing, Himey. If you need us to close your deal the money will have to be cut three ways." "There you go, before you know what it's all about." "Business is business." "All right, greedy. There's enough in it for everybody if it's handled right. I got the idea on my last trip over and I werked it out later in Paris. On the way across I met a Jane from the corn belt, a terrible sap but out to see the world, under: stand. A born bilker and didn't know it. Well, she tried to make me," the speaker smiled bleakly, "and she spill- ed all she knew. It didn't take long. She's a painter, or something, and she's taking a ride at the expense of an old man who loves art." "Ah-h! I see the dawn." "She met his son at Eastern--that's a big college or something--and they were so agreeable to each other that the old man sent her abroad to do over the Loove. She intends to take two years at it." "Is that. all she ame out with?" "I saw something of her in Paris -- helped her get set--and again on my way back from Holland. We were bud- dies by that time. Now then, here's the punch: papa is a Chinaman!" "That's new slang to me," confess: ed Himes' listener. "What's a 'China- man' ?" "I'm talking pure English. Chink, a yockaman! He's a And he's lousy with coin." . "Who? Which papa? The boy?" "Both of 'em." "Snap .ut of it, Himey. You've been sleeping on 'your hip in some | laundry." "Yeah? Well, I'm telling you. Here's a proposition, as wide open as a gate. 1t's"Lee Ying." "Lee Ying?" ' "Nobody else. Hes the richest Oriental in the country and his boy is wild about white girls." "They're all wild about white girls," Mrs. Stevens declared with a curl of her lip. "But what ails you, Himey? Do you think Mona 'and I are out to lay China boys? When we get that low we'll work the Oriental dance halls, And we won't cut you in on it, either, Now I know you've been cook- ing on a peanut lamp." "Listen, sister, you've got a peanut mind. You always were a dumb ox." "I don't see--" "Of course you don't see." "-- and I can't take a chance with Mona. Why, I'm the only mother she's got and she's as dear to me as--" "Don't get throaty, Esther, or you'l have me bawling, too. Mona will be safer than wheat. If you'll get off the air for a minute and stand by for station anouncements I'll tell you what it's all about." The motherly Mrs. Stevens agreed to this, "All right. I never lost any- thing by listening. Spread your hand." For fully an hour the two talked with their heads together, and it was plain that the woman was deeply in- terested. CHAPTER XI A lady was calling upon Mr. Lee, so Moy announced. No woman either visited Sam's apartment or telephoned him now- adays, so he rose, went into the hall and took the instrument. An imma- ture, uncultivated voice answered him, it stammered a Breathless explanation of his insistence. She was a friend of Alice Hart's, she was downstairs and wished to see Sam on a matter of im- Would he speak to her if the came up? . "Why, of course Sam told her.

"Play, "nothing!" returned the moth- er, "He's just mean and rough. I can't do a thing with him and I should love to see some one else handle him and give him what he needs." "I can't think that my little nephew is so bad,".sald Mary, 'Come on, Ray- mond, let's have a swing on the' porch while your mother takes a little rest before it is time for your father to come home." Little Raymond followed his aunt to the porch, where they procéeded to get better acquainted. Mary had but recently married into. the Nyberg family so she had visited these new relatives only a few times. She was very much surprised and somewhat bewildered at the attitude taken toward five-year-old Raymond. To be sure the two older children were treated in much the same way, but d to have learned to take: "Charming." "Well, I'll tell you how it s," the visitor explained. "There's just mother and I and she's kind of an invalid so I have to work. I'm selling lace things. They give 'em to me to sell, you know, and I get folks to buy them." "But, Misq--" "Stevens, Mona Stevens." "I have no use for lace things." (To be continued.)

Hitherto practically nothing has been scught but high wages; the reduction of the burdens on industry, which have reduced the value of the wages, has bad hardly any attention. The greatest of these bur- dens at the moment is the enormous army of our unemployed; and the Pre- mier's Plan ought, taerefore, to be supplemented by an organized drive to absorb them into production. Thus far we have been inclined to stress too much the national demand for fur- ther sacrifices. The case calls for more than that, It cells for initiative and enterprise and energy.

But Ray- mond, who had lived much with his grandnfother, seemed more sensitive, He opened his large black eyes in wonder every time his mother raised: her voice strideutly and impatiently.

Mary was disturbed by what she had seen and heard, "Raymond feels that his mother is unfair and is rude to him," she thought, "though of course he wouldn't express it that way and really does not know exactly what the trouble is. He is just.irritated by her voice and manner.

Hoffman of New Jersey. The factors are the driver himself, the brakes and the road. i Much depends, Mr. Hoffman ays, on the driver's alertness in seeing an obstacle for which he must stop, no less than on his "reaction time"--the interval between the moment he per. ceives the obstacle and the moment. at which' he brings the brakes into play. three-fourths of a second to a second and a half, Following application of the brakes, the stopping distances at various speeds, given well adjusted brakes and a level, dry road, are estimated by Mr. Hoffman as follows: at 10 miles an hour; 6 feet; at 15 miles an 25 miles, 38 feet; at 30 miles, 54 feet; at 36 miles, 73 'eet; at 40 miles, 86 ! feet, at 45 miles, 121 feet; at 50 miles, 150 feet. and at 30 miles, 216 feet. The degree of levelness of the road is considered by Mr. Hoffman its chief influence upon stopping distance. A 6 per cent. grade, he says, increases the stopping distance at 10 miles an tour to 10 feet; at 80 miles an hour, to 95, and at 60 miles an hour, to 377 Wits 0" erie] 1 InOnison: 2 x fellows, I've receiver A 'threatening to Motor Vehicle Commissioner Har- , This is estimated normally at from - Lour, 13 feet, at 20 miles, 24 feet; at Sal the club bore: "Do you know, 3 ad |
