Day after day it becomes more apparent that the unrivaled popularity Of the Bigger and Better Chevrolet is due to its basic elements of superiority. And the greatest factor of all is the effortless driving it provides. It steers with the weight of* the hand-- for the worm and gear steering mechanism is fitted with ball bearings throughout ... even at the front axle knuckles. The clutch is velvety smooth in action and Ac gear-shift lever responds to the lightest touch. Acceleration is swift and certain, while big non-locking fourwheel brakes assure perfect control under every condition of highway and traffic. You'll never know wt^at a great car it is until you sit at the wheel and drive! So come in today for a demonstration! ' Hettermann Motor Sales intone 191 Weft McHearjr ULA'L I T Y A T r L OJV CO S.T Mac* Has Long Been Symbol of Authority An Interesting bit of ceremony takes place eacb day as the house of representatives convenes. A distinguished- looking individual ente/s yie chamber and walks slowly to tbe front bearing aloft the mace, which the house maintains as its symbol of power. At the speaker's stand he turns to the right and fastens the staff on that side of the platform. It is an official announcement that the house of representatives is now iu session and vested with the power to transact legislative business. The mace resembles a flagpole capped by a gleaming metal'eagle. Its keeper's sole duty is to appear twice on the floor of the hous«e on days when it is in session, bringing the mace in when the body convenes, and when It adjourns, carrying It back to the office of the sergeant-atarras with the same deliberate step. The only time during a day of business when the mace I? removed before adjournment is when the house goes into committee of the whole to consider some piece of specific legislation. When it is officially in legislative session again the mace is returned. "Blue-Blooded" People W, FaooriteM of Fortune There is, of course, no "blue blood.' but the term, generally used in a complimentary sense as denoting gentle birth, does really hark back to color origin. Not of blood, though. The reference is to the color of the veins. Families who through several generations possessed sufficient wealth to enable them to escape manual work developed skins of a very fine texture, and through the latter the veins showed blue. TJiat would be espe daily apparent in the hands and forearms. The sftlns of those who, unblessed with wealth, had to work became hard, and the veins were hardly discern able. Thus, although "blue-veined" or "flne-sklnned" would have been more correct, the term "blue-blooded" came into use to denote the aristocracy, and it .would seem, from ©Id writings, that it was the popular belief that thv term expressed the literal fact.--Kansas City Times. Siamese River Gardens In most eastern countries the rivprs run low during the nonrainy period of the year, to such an extent that islands of mud and silt appear in many places. These are often cultivated, their harvest being gathered be fore the flood stage of the river re occurs. In the north of Siam, near the border town of Chiengmai, the many little Islands that make their appear ance in the river Me Ping are culti. vated by the Inhabitants as vegetable gardens, says the Wide World magazine. JJttle lookout sheds are constructed from which the owners keep watch of their crops. Scarcely an inch of space is wasted-by these industrious folk and several kinds of European vegetables are grown. When the rlvei rises again, all these carefully tilled gardens disappear. New York Once Capital Ne* York was the capital of the nation for approximately one year and a half. George Washington was inaugurated in New York April 30, 1786.

Unfulfilled Prophecy Joseph Jefferson, celebrated' actor, believed fee would be remembered by posterity as a painter rather than for hi* ctage triumphs. One day, toward the end of his life, he was showing William H. Crane--Mr. Crane relates, the incident la "Footprints and: Echoes"--a painting be had just finished. "Do you know, William,** he said. "*1 think that whatever lasting fame will b« mine whet I am gone, will come through my J»rusb and not through anything I have done on the stage." "I don't suppose," comments Crane, "anyone loks at Jefferson's paintings today, or even remembers that he was a painter.** Papal Claim Still Standi In 1871 the Italian government absorbed as part of the territory of Italy much of the property over which the pope of Rome had exercised and claimed jurisdiction and possession. The Italian government placed to the credit of the Vatican a sum of money and certain guaranties which have not been accepted by the Roman au tborities. It Is said that the Italian government Is anxious to adjust the matter, but so far the papal claim •has not been diminished, which is temporal power or jurisdiction over the disputed territory.
