Argument of Humane Education So-
ciety Relating to School Chit-
dren and Animals.
The Humane Education society of
Pennsylvania is seeking to have the
school children taught to speak of ani-
•nirtls with personal instead of imper-
sonal pronouns. The society fears
that if children say "if" and fwhich"
am' "that" for their pets they wll
regard them as they do the lifeless
train of cars, the soulless box of
blocks, the witless ball or drum or
sailboat. They will regard a tender
little animal as though "it" were
stuffed with invulnerable leather or
sawdust; they will drag "it" about
and bully rag and maul "it" as tmugh
"it" had no feelings; they will de-
grade the animate creature to the
level of the mere automate a started
with a key and active only till the
cogs run down.—i'hladelphia Ledger.
WHY MRS. LOT LOOKED BACK
Time Clock for Hens.
The hen that did the cackling may
not have laid the egg, government
farm experts assert. They advise
farmers to use trap nests in order to
pin the cackler down to facts in the
way of eggs. By holding a hen on
the nest until released, the announce-
ment said, it was possible to keep tab
on the good layers, regardless of the
fuss raised by some hens on false pre-
tenses.
Bahoons sometimes throw stones at
their enemies.
Reason Explained, but Today It Is the
Man Who Usually Does
the Turning.
The mystery of why Lot's wife
turned around, womanlike, after being
warned specifically not to, was ex-
plained by Alexander Black, novelist,
at a dinner of the Society of Arts and
Science, New Tork.
Mr. Black said Mrs. Lot merely
wanted to see if she was being fol-
lowed by a man.
The subject of profound debate was
"Marriage Is a Success. Yes? No?"
It was discussed with lights turned
low under red shades.
Mr. Black said it is now the man
who does the turning around and look-
ing back, "usually slightly down.
"Over their faces come curiously
mingled expressions of bewilderment
and amazement.
"I have seen them turned into cyn-
ics or into poets. I have seen them
turned from their direction and struck
by automobiles."
Mr. Gloom Knew. •
"Musicians are sadly underpaid!"
carped the wild-haired man. "I play
trombone in a jazz orchestra, and
what do you suppose my salary Is?
Have you any idea what an expert
Jazz trombonist should get?" "Oh.
yes," replied J. Fuller Gloom. " 'The
wages of sin is death.'"—Judge.

COMMUNITY HAS NEW IDEA
Blanket Insurance Practically Cover-
ing Whole Town Is Said to Have
Had Excellent Results, '
All the workers employed by the
various Industries located at Kings-
port. Tenn., have been Insured against
death, slclness and accident under a
single group policy the New York
Times records.
In all about two thousand persons
employed by ten large concerns are
thus protected and as the population
of the town of Klngsport Is estimated
at about 10,000, almost every family
In the community will receive a fi-
nancial benefit In case of accident,
sickness or dentil overtaking one of
Its bread winning members.
The policy has been in effect for
some months. According to officials
of the Insurance company this is the
first lnstunce known where a whole
community has adopted a standard-
ized plan of Insurance. The experi-
ment is attracting the attention of
many other municipalities, especially
public officials who are Interested in
community service.
A prominent community worker has
said that the prospective financial
benefit to be derived by 'individuals
under the policy was of far less Im-
portance than the general good which
ha resulted from the quickening of
the conscience of the whole Klngsport

Garden Citlee for London.
London Is trying to work out Its
housing crisis by building little garden
cities about twenty miles outside Its
limits. These experiments In whole-
Bale home construction are being car-
ried on by the enterprise of private
capital backed up with the generous
government subdivision that Is being
given to all home construction projects.
The profits of the promoting com-
ny will be limited to seven per cent
if the Investment, the proceeds over
d above this amount going back Into
town Improvements.
The Idenl house, so much talked of
In England, that resulted from the
Dally Mall competition will be given a
practical try-out In this new city. The
name of the place when completed will
he Welwyn Garden City.—New York

Plant Vines en Indoor Lattice.
In altering old homes rather t^in In
the construction of new ones, lattice!
and grills seem to appeal to the In-
terior decorator*' scheme of things.
Tha same mahner of tr-ntment la
given a too expansive bay window,
where. Instead of curtains, decorative
Jars holding cllmb|ng vines are placed
at the sides. The vines will s<*>n make
the lattice a thing of beauty.
The use of the growing vines on the
lattice Indoors Is growing In favor,
the plainness of the walli of the break-
fast room Is relieved by the green of
the climbing vines. .

HANDLENEWCAR
WITH MUCH CARE
After First Trip 60 Over Nuts
and Bolts and Make Sure
They Are Ail Tight.
MAKE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS
Driver Should Scrutinize Lubrication
Chart and Familiarize Himself
With Location of Every Grease
Cup and Oil Hole.
It !s of prime importance to handle
the new car carefully. After the first
trip take a wrench and go over every
nut and bolt to make certlan they
are ail tight. The engine parts should
receive especial attention, for the
slightest defect will result in misfiring
and poor carhuretion, writes William
H. Stewart in New York Times. Make
your Inspections frequently for the
first 1,000 miles until the car has
worn in somewhat, then you can re-
lax your vigilance a bit.
Make a thorough study of your in-
struction book. Look at the lubrlta-
tlon chart and fainlMarize yourself
with the location of every grease cup
and oil hole, then see that they are
kept filled properly. This will Insure
you against worn parts or scored bear-
ings and, Incidentally, allow you to
learn the lubrication system thorough-
ly.
New Car Is Stiff.
When nn automobile Is built the en-
gine has been'run but little and every
part is fltled tight to make them snug
after the roughness has worn off. Con-
sequently the car Is very stiff and
will not show much speed until those
parts wear in. So don't 'exceed twen-
ty-five miles on hour until the speed-
ometer registers 1,000 miles. By so
doing each part will "find itself" and
you will be perfectly^ fe in exceeding
thirty miles per hour. If you force
a car before it has obtained the 1,000
miles It will result In a noisy engine
and premature repairs.
Drain off the oil every f>00 miles
and replace it with fresh. The quan-
tity of grit and dirt that comes from
the crank-case Is usually surprising.
The bearlnas and pistons throw off
6mall particlts of metal whioh if not
removed with the *>Id oil will work
into the bearings and cause trouble.
Perhaps the motor will show a ten-
dency to overheat when new. Don't
let this worry you for It ls merely
the friction caused in wearing off the
rough surface of the engine. Drive
Intelligently and use plenty of oil and
water and soon this trouble will dis-
appear.
Clean Body Carefully.
The -body cleaning should be done
very carefully for the first month or
so. Use a simple flow of water, with-
out spray or force, otherwise the fin-
ish will be marred. The longer you
drive without unnecessary cleaning,
the harder the varnish will become.
Do not allow the engine to race or
to run when the car 16 standing. Self-
starters are made to be used ano it
is good for the battery to be operated
Intelligently.
Keep the tires fully Inflated—soft
tires consume powar as well as de-
stroy themselves.
Keep the carburetor adjusted at the
leanest possible mixture—a lean mix-
ture reduces carbon deposits.
Don't try to economize by purchas-
ing the "Just as good" oil. Buy the
best grade and change the supply
about every 500 miles. This will be
most economical in the long run.
If you follow the car driven by an
expert you will notice that he main-
tains a constant speed; that he does
not loaf along and then suddenly Jump
to forty miles an Ijour. More gasoline
18 used when you accelerate. Select
a safe driving speed, making ouly
gradual speed changes when it is nec-
essary.

Cupid. For boiue time the apart-
ment neighbors Of the Newly weds
have been wondering what consti-
tuted their recipe for marital bliss.
Those only a few years married de-
clared they had never aeon anything
like it, and the old-timers asserted
that no pair could be so happy und
still be married. It wasn't done In
tills day and age. Not until just the
other day did the apartment neigh-
bors learn the secret of the Newly-
weds, aud now everybody In tiie
house is trying It.
The old-timers still have some trou-
ble, even under the Newlyweds' sys-
tem, but those married only a few
years say It lias promise aud may
eliminate the divorce courts.
The Newlyweds had been having
trouble. Married for almost a year,
Mrs. Newly wed had discovered her
husband dipping his toast in his cof-
fee in the morning and made a gur-
gling sound when he ate it. Such a
breach of breakfast table etiquette
might be tolerated every other morn-
ing, but every morning—that was too
much. On the other bund, Mr.
Ncwlyv«ed bed found his wife did not
prepare the steak Just the way lie
wanted It, hid his slippers in the dark
corners, ,4h<l in general committed
particular things which irritated him
a little.
These things were troubling the
Newlyweds when Mrs. Newlywed
struck on an Idea.
"You want to he fair about this?"
ueked Mrs. Newlywed.
"I do," said Mr. Newlywed In a sol-
emn voice that almost made him think
lie was hack at the altar again.
"Then we'll get rid of this head of
the household question which had been
disturbing us," said Mrs. Newlywed.
"Have you got a pair of dice?"
"Sure," said Mr. Newlywed. "What
for?'
Mrs. Newlywed took them.
"See," she said, "we'll throw them
for a high point to show who throws
first. Then the one who gets five
naturals first rules the household for
a day. The other will do Just what
the winner dictates. In that way
there'll never be any argument as to
who Is boss."
And there hasn't been. The dice
find their boss for Cupid every day.—■

Plague of Wolves in Mexico.
Man-eating wolves have killed more
than 'a dozen persons in the San Pedro
and Cuatro Clenegas localities of
Mexico. Never in the history of that
region have these depredatory animals
been so numerous and vicious as now,
it is stated. They run in packs aud
do not hesitate to attack travelera
upon the roads and trails. Only re-
cently a party of five Mexicans were
making their way along a well-trav-
eled highway near Cuatro Clenegas
when they were attacked by wolves.
The men made a desperate resistance,
but were final'y overcome by the
hungry animals. Tlie skeletons of the
victims, stripped of all flesh were
found the following day. At the Ta-
cuba ranch, near San Pedro, a night
watchman was attacked and killed by
wolves. Many cases of attacks being
made by the animals and in which
they were killed or driven off are
reported.
France's Hunt for Timber.
Numerous practical experiments
have been made by the French govern-
ment In order to determine the re-
sistance and durability of the various
woods obtainable in French colonies.
Contrary to the geuerul belief, the
timber which abounds in the colonies
is not the hardwood employed by cabi-
net makers but common varieties
which are adapted to ordinary con-
struction purposes. A uniform com-
mercial name hos been given to the
many varieties of timber which are
closely related from a botanical point
of view and suitable for the same pur-
pose. The timber has been divided
Into categories according to Its char-
