' Pier Six DIER SIX, at the Bush Termtn^, In * Brooklyn, New York, is said to be the largest pier in the world--being 210 feet wide, 1,230 feet long and dotibfe-decked. It has fourteen acres of floor space and a carrying capacity of 500 pounds to the square foot or considerably more than 1,000,000 tons --the equivalent of upwards of 5,000 freight cars of 40,000 pounds capacity each. A portion of this record-breaking pier rests on land, but the outer end juts out over the waters of the Bay of Xew York. This latter section rests on piling which were driven down to bed rock which at this point is 70 feet below tlie surface of th.» water or 30 feet below the bottom of the hay. This pier was constructed in 1909 and would <-ost, to reproduce today, about $2,- 500,000. * ' ' • * Six steamships, each of 14,000 tons displa<-emeflt, can berth and discharge their InlxHind or take on their outbound cargoes at one and the same time without crowding this pier, while freight arriving at the pier for outhound shipment, by truck, by rail or by lighter also »wn be accommodated at the same time. v The interior of this enormous freight warehouse somewhat resembles a giant curiosity shop, since its holdings may Include anything and everything from hair nets -nd needles to elephants and portable houses that ocean-going steamships may be called upon to transport from one world port to another. - !•*»• Western N>wap«p«r CbM*4 r Appeal to Men Through Vanity and Vainglory Almost every woman has something about her which, carefully nurtured, will make her seem desirable--not, of course, to every man in her world, but to one or two. The charm, which may be anything from piquant conversation to good cooking, will find appreciation •omewhere if dt be well •displayed. "Men are appealed to through their vanity and Tainglory even more easily thaa women, which means that most men would rather be seen about with a woman who patently did credit to their own powers of fascination than • with the worthiest creature In the world if she had no means of making the beholders envy them. ' There may be men who dislike •meie flirtation,* and coldly ignore a woman who attracts them, but you will have to look for them in monasteries and other retired places. They are not of this world. "A man likes to look upon a-woman as one who is subject to a hundred weaknesses and follies, and yet remains at heart a staunch friend, *a really good sort.* > **A mnn falls in love with a woman who helps htm to appear at his best." --"The Technique of the Love Attaic." ty a ^Gentlewoman* , ; ' -i#. GOING LIGHT Where to go, what to take, what to eat, are all moot question^ for every vacationist, an<} especially the one who wants to "go light". Excess luggage or equipment is a nuisance. Insufficient clothing, fishing tackle and photographic equipment are the cause ,of many pangs of remorse. The veteran 'outtloorsman never worries about these matters. He has learned from bitter experience. He dreams for eleven months about the good time he will have, then spends about a day collecting the things to take. The tyro worries, stews, freta and fusses for weeks and weeks ahead of the eventful day--but he gets a lot of pleasure out of that part of the trip, so why deny him that fun? Is there a set rule governing the amount of equipment to take? NJ, there never will be. Everyone has different ideas and needs. The principal thing to keep in mind is that n vacation is a time to get away from every day worries, to live a different life entirely--one continuous Tound of enioyment. The surest way to enjoy a-vacation, whether it be a day, a week or a i Jnonth, is to dress comfortably, take enough equipment to serve one's purpose. and not an ounce more. s What kind of clothing? That depends upon the country to be visited nnd the mode of travel. For a woods trip, dress the part and be sure to take clothing 4that will be warm enough, still not bulky. Woolen socks, ^flannel shirts and substantial footwear «re essentials. Many hardy vacationists never carry a slicker or rain-cape fljbut a light rain-cape adds little weight pnd much real comfort in a cold rain. Extra shirts rather than a sweater are preferred by many. ^ How much other equipment? Again it depends upon how and where you are going. If hiking, or on a canoeing trip, remember that the more jyou take the more you must carry; also the heavier you weight down the canoe the harder it paddles. Cooking equipment, fishing tackle and photographic supplies are all essentials, but keep down the bulk. What about food? Figure out just how many meals you will be «a the woods and how much you will need for each meal, then buy accordingly. Don't load up with watery foods that add weight, when other more compact and less weighty will serve the purpose. JDried fruits, oatmeal, dried milk and evaporated vegetables all help to reduce weight of the load. UNEARTH TRICKS COIN FRAUDS lUlic Sleuths Use Microscope in Work. Ithaca, N. T.--Detectives who use chemicals, X-rays, varnsm tubes and ultra-violet light appftt-ently are neces-. sary In these days of sythesis, but here at Cornell university a technique has been developed that affords some strong talking points in favor of the old-fashioned principle of using the eyes aided by a glass. The detective work here Is done mostly on rare coins and antiques to discover whether they are genuine. The owners have come to the department of chemistry expecting some such chemical formula as "x equals p" as proof of age. They often are told by Dr. E. H. Cliamot, professor of chemical microscopy: /. "Let us look at It first. Perhaps we can save time and the possibility of marring this treasure." He puts the object under a microscope. Now, under the glass nothing appears natural, and a long training In the technique Is necessary before the microscope detective may read the evidence before his eyes. A coin known as a gold stater from. LampsacuSi came here for analysis. The microscope showed that It had not been cast. A chemical test proved that the gold was of a fineness consistent with an elect origin. But suspicion persisted. As It was desirable not to mar the coin, the microscope was employed to get a tiny piece of the "dark gold" from the coin without leaving a trace of cutting. Analysis proved that the apparent aging was an artificial coating of gum, starch and color matter. U. S. Autoists Need No Passports in Mexico f/aredo, Texas.--In order to encourage American automobile tourists to visit Mexico, the government has Issued an order which does away with the passport requirement. In Its plfce all that is now necessary is for the visitor to obtain a credential from a chamber of comrfieree anywhere in the TTnited States certifying as to his identity and good character. This certificate will he recognized by Immigration and custom officials at all border gateways and the tourist admitted expeditiously. The new highway between Laredo and Monterey is uow being placed in excellent condition in expectation of heavy tourist traffic during the coming summer. Kven tourist camps, similar to those that are found In the United States, are being built at points along the highway. This is something new fo the way of accommodations for tourists in Mexico.

A compilation of their findings, prepared by Dr. E. A.
