It has been said that the taxicab is no new thing, being, in its general principles, a thing known tg the an- 40" | cient Romans; but now an Orien- talist goes even farther and assures us that mechanical carts capable of registering distances travelled by counting and recording the revolu- tions of very large cart Wheels, con- nected by cogs with other concentrie or eccentric horizontal and perpen- dicular wheels of proportionate wheels of proportionate diameters, have been well known to the Chi- nese for 1,700 or 1,800 years. On the top of the cart wag the fig- ure of 4 man holding a drum, which he beat when one li, a mile, was tra- velled. Some carts had in addition a figure holding a cymbal, which was struck when the drum had beaten ten times, AN AUTO WITH A HISTORY. An old two eylinder Haynes car belonging to L. O. Robertson of Dal- las, Tex., has a! history that would do credit to a crusader. There is no way of telling how far it has run, since it has never had a speedometer on it, In placing his agencies Mr. Robertson, a district insurance agent, had forded rivers with the car, cross- ed mountain ranges, hunted ante- lopes on the plains on the eastern border of New Mexico, and pulled the fifty mile stretch of sand dun Staked plains below Amarilo Clarendon in Donley county, | Hepa Hits or .Very few people know how to ad- Just the spark plug points. | Nine times out of ten the points are sepa- rated too far. Most every one car- ries with him an ordinary visiting card. The spark gap should equal the thickness of such a card. Check valves which control the flow of oil through the pump where pressure feed lubrication is used, should be cleaned occasionally to in- sure positive working. American made gloves are being featured for touring wear in Places of the once popular English, which are not imported in their usual quan- tities this year. Fabric, chamois, doeskin and suede are the most popu- lar, though heavy reinforced silk will be used freely a little later. Home made overnight bags of lin- en are made like kit bags. Of gray linen, lined with a delicate colored linen and embroidered with the owner's initials, they are mounted on horn frames. A soft, linen toilet roll is made to match and is fitted in the usual way. 4 For camping there is a new "pull clean" towel outfit that can be hung against a tree, as it is in a metal case, There are twenty-five yards of towelling on the rolls and a towel when used is rolled back on another roll, so that it is not thrown down | and lost.

A new travelling sewing case is square in shape, collapsible, and is fitted with all the necessities. The bag will carry also a fair-sized piece of work, and if no work is carried it may be used as a veil case. Every motor hostess should carry a black tin cake box large enough to hold the ordinary layer cake, with the afternoon tea basket. If one is using the Chinese tea basket, deco- rated with beads and red tassels, then the black cake box should be paint- ed with red poppies, White tissue serviettes, with poppy borders, are used in place of linen. ------------ THE TRAFFIC "COP" SAYS. "There has been a noticeable ac- tivity on the part of some motorists to open the cut-out on their ma- chines. This is entirely unneces- sary and only causes the motorist to get in bad repute with the public. Don't open your cut-out on the streets during the day and more es- pecially at night time, Remember, there ,are many sick people whom such a sound greatly disturbs. Also remembér that there are unfortu- nate ones who are confined in hos- pitals who are not there by their own wishes and who would appreci- ate quietness. Then, again, there are those who are engaged in their work during the night who are forced to sleep during the daytime. And, above all, be courteous." "WATCH YOUR STEP."

Says Mr. B ne: "My car, plus the genius of 'adds two hours to my working day--and two work. ing hours in the fresh air. I am going to take the car out to Mr. Edison's laboratory and show it to him, "He was intensely interested when I sent one of his phonographs to Tol- stoy--he fixed it up with great care --and: he will be more interested to know that the sum total of hundreds of millions of business hours that working Americans spend in their automobiles can now be made use- ful--the best hours of the day. To work in a car with the window open, fresh air pouring in, no interrup- tions from telephones or callers, is indeed a luxury, and productive lux- ury, which is the only good luxury." ----- What are known as black opals, among the most y of jewels, are found in but one place in the world, a small tract of land in New South Safety First--Last---All the Time.
