PROVE PUZZLE TO MOTORIST

Terme Used in England Differ Widely From the Expressions Com- . mon in America. : -

. Motoring terms used in England are in many respects so different from those used in America that the American motorist has a certain amount of difficulty in understanding.what it is all about. o ’ A blowout is a “burst” Tire 18 spelled “tyre.” Those sitting in the back seat of the car are’the “back passengers.” The windshield is the “wind screen.” A five-passenger car is not referred to as a touring car, but as a “five-seater,” Truck is lorry, gasoline is petrol.’ A windshield wiper is a "screen cleaner,” a tonneau shield ils a “rear wind screen.” Riding qualities are spoken: of .as the “springing”:; of the car. Spare parts are ‘“car components.” Carburetor is spelled carburetter. A spare tube 18 called a tube, but a spare tire is--called a “cover’—a tire cover is called a “tyre gaiter.” Spark plugs are “sparkigg plugs”; fenders are referred to as “wings.” Invariably the hood is the bommet, and the intake manifold is the inlet pipe, - But possibly the most amusing. of all is the English way of referring:to* the process of cranking a car. The crank is the “handle” and to crank the car is to “wind the handle”—not by any means a slang expression, but the accepted way, in England, bf referring to the priinitive method of starting an automobile engine,

HAD FOUR SILVER TEASPOONS

Also Good Reason Why John Wesley . Would Not Add to His Collec : - - tion of “Plate.” X John Wesley, founder of Methodism, was a pattern of diligence, of self-denial and generosity. When ‘he was past seventy ‘years of .age, and his Methodism had become triumphant through the kingdom of ‘Great Britain, an order passed the house of lords that the commissioners of excise send out letters to all persong suspected of possessinig plate, and to those who had not regularly paid. duty ‘on the same, | Wesley received suchia letter, This was his reply: : : . “Sir—l have two silver teaspoons in London, :and two in Bristol. This is ‘all the plate I have at present, and I shall not buy any more while so many around me want bread.” . One is reminded of the tenderheartedness of a llke-minded man, Charles Kingsley, who, when the famous famine was raging in India, pushed his plate aside as headlines of a newspaper fell under hig eye, and exclaimed: “Take it away! Take it away! I cannot eat while my brothers-are dying by thousands of hunger!” ;

Evolgtlon'o Blow. Progress.

. In explanation of evolution, it is said that it may require 1,000,000 years to effect the change from one specles to another. All the doubtful have to do is to wait that long. ' : The bane of our age, bromidically speaking, is: huwrry. Dismissing the speed idea from our minds, we can restfully sit down and talk about something other than evolution as we do about Doctor Binstein’s theery. Doctor Einstein Says we can’t understand it, and we are courteous enough to take his word for it. The evolutionists tell us that the alteration of one species to another occupies 1,000,000 years, more or less; and. we can be equally courteous, : We perceive at once that the operation is not going to disturb us; and we are grateful for any earthly change that does not disturb us.—Exchange.

lce Cream for Dessert.

My most embarrassing moment came while I was a student at college. I was working my way through by waiting table at a sorority house. ' Occasionally we would have ice cream for dessert, and sometimes a portion or two would be left untouched. The other waiter and I, in our youthful insatiability whenever that delicacy was involved, were accustomed to hasten into the dining room as soon as the girls had left to look for such 'spoils of our trade. On one such occa‘sion we hurried in, and found a splendid portion untouched; We began to divide it, and just then the dining room door opened and ‘the girl who had been called away to the telephone -returned.—Exchange. - i

The Vintage of a Joke.

‘One can just tell, how long a man has been married by the way he gets that old stuff about hooking them up the back, says the Fl Dorado Times. If he has taken unto himself a wife during the last ten years, or during the reign of thé peasant blouse and the -one-plece dress, he'll only register a blank look when the once popular gag is pulled, but if he joined the ranks of the Trl Hook’em Upsilons fifteen or more years ago when tight lindngs, choker collars, stays and crinoline were in vogue, then watch him chuckle reminiscently but without a pang of regret, however, for the bad old days. o o

GUARCIANS TO BE TRUSTED

One Would Think, However, Resource- . ful' Thief ‘Might Congider the : Use of Poisoned Balit. ‘

- Thieves are plenty in Annam, i southeast Asia, but steel safes -are scarce, so the'native prince, ruler of the country, uses‘crocodiles to guard his treasures: Rulers in that country have great wealth'in valuable jewels, gold, and silver. = ° ‘ The' prince of Annam was puzzled for a long time how to keep. his treasures safe from those who coveted them, He could mot trust armed guards, because like as not the guards would turn around and steal some of the gold or: silver or precious jewels when the prince was nut looking. Finally he thought about orocodiles. They are feroclous animals and do not steal. L : In_ the interfor of his palace he caused to be constructed a basin which he kept filled with water. .Then he procured several teak logs, bored them through, placed his valuables in the logs, sealed both ends and sunk them in the basin of water. Having obtained two crocodiles, he put them in the tank of water to guard the treasures. The crocodiles are fed Just enough to keep them perpetually hungry. Theiprince feels safe. 'Anybody attempting to fish the logs out of the pool will be a nice meal for the crocodiles. R ;

ANTS’ KEEN SENSE OF SMELL

Are Said to Have. Neither Sight Nor Hearing, but Remarkable Olfactory i : ' Nerves. : Ants are said to be both blind and 'deaf, but none are known to be destitute of the sense of smell. The oifactory organs are little sensory pits In the antennae. It ig evidently by means “of their sense of smell that ants recognize the members of their own nest, ‘and those of other species which they tredt as enemies, - : However, certain species of ants are evidently not deaf, because they are capable of produeing sounds which must be heard by others of their own kind. One species has a file-like soundproducing apparatus on the abdominal segmerit. ‘Another ant of this .group ‘ls provided with & stridulating file, and in another ant there is a stridulating organ consisting of & band of very fine raised lines om the second segment behind the node. Other ants tap on the surface of a leaf with their heads, producing a sound audible to human ears, as does another species by scraping the end of its abdomen on the dry leaves of its nest. :

Dlscipline.

A northern guest in Pinehurst happened upon an old negro who was beating down dried cottom stalks. “Uncle, what did the boll weevil do to you this past®year?”’ he inquired. The old man legked up; saw “one o’ dem nawthern folks,” and answered him in'this manner: i : “Lawd, boss, dey was de:wust here dat dey has ever been. 'Why, one night I was awoke from my: res’ by such a noise dat I ain’t never heard:de lak of befo’. 1 takes my lantern and goes out in dat patch over dere:and what do you ’spose I foun’?’ e “I have no idea, uncle. What was it?” the northermer replied. } “Lawd, cap, de old: pappy boll weevil had a big stick beat’ng all de little boll weevils 'cause dey wouldn't take two rows at a time.”—North Carolina Holl Weevil. i

United States Citizenship.

‘The fact thdat a child of a citizen of the United States is ‘born abroad does mnot affect that child’s - citizenship in the United States. By the revised statutes of the United States a son born to parents:whe -are’ ¢itizens of the United States' while they are traveling in 'Burope is'an American citizen as fully as if'he had been born in this country and is' entitled to all the rights of a'eitizen when he becomes of age. The federal Constitution provides that “no person except a natural-borm eltizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the sdoption of this Constitutlzil, -shall be eligible ' to: the office of President,” so that' a utnrfllnq eltizen cannot become president.

How She Interpreted Dream.

Sir Frederiek Bridge,, for over ~4o| years the organist at Westminster abbey, tells a story about a lottery which permitted the choice of special numbers on the tickets. ; A little girl bought a ticket for a lottery, and insisted that she should be allotted No. 28. As she would buy no other ticket, her wish was granted, and she won a considerable sum. “Why did you want that number?”’ she was' asked afterwards. ; . “Well, T had & dream,” she said. “I dreamt that I had bought No. 7, and I dreamt it three times.” So I said to, myself: “Three 'sevens are twentythree, and that's the number for me!” : ‘The Canterbury Yales. & ~ How ‘essentlally, how intimately ; English the famous poem is!
