Many New Things to See Be

Wot'll we go to New York for?"
queries the man who thinks Gotham
is the only place where Broadway
used to be.
Wot, indeed?
Wofs to see, now that the
lights are not so mazda and the
liquid nourishment not so dynamite.
Much, ever so much.
The new Metropolitan Blue Book,
whose makers call it "An Intimate
Guide to New York City," have the
fair burg of iniquity catalogued, in
dexed and Bertillioned.
A glance through restaurants
changes the most birdlike appetite
to a fl-fe-fo-fum hunger. The writer
of this particular section knew
viands and how to mention them
most eucculently.
Every shop and theater has its
place and discussion, and if there
is a statue, skyscraper, fine resi
dence or building of historic inter
est whose notation and description
has been overlooked, it must be
pretty carefully concealed from the
world and eagle eye of Blue Book
scouts.
Perhaps the most noteworthj
thing about it is that not only has
everything and every place worth
while its niche in this work, but
the very reading of it is charming.
Infinite care and cleverness have
been its editorial plan.

Prediction Made That Kansas
Farmers Will Buy 20,000
Grain Carriers
Part of the $400,000,000 which Kan
sas farmers received for their 1919
wheat crop will be used in buying
motor trucks. Twenty thousand of tho
self-propelled grain and livestock
carriers will be sold in the Sunflower
State this fall and winter, according
to estimates made by Kansas news
papers.
The same reports declare that in
many Kansas counties half the wheat
crop Just garnered was handled by
monster co-op<eratlve "combines
which harvested and threshed the
wheat in one operation. The wheat
was threshed directly from the stand
ing grain in the field.
This extensive use of the threshers
in tho field while cutting the wheat
made the crop ready for the market
earlier than usual. It brought home
to the wheat growers, in a forceful
manner, the need of quicker means
of transporting the grain to market,
to elevator or to railroad loading
point, than was afforded by horse
drawn vehicles.
Another factor came forward to
argue for the motor truck. The dil
ficultv experienced in hiring men to
help in the harvest made it hard to
spare men to drive the wagons._ The
wheat growers learned to a PP rec '®;V'
the value of the truck as a labor
saver. If one truck will do fhe work
of four horse-drawn wagons, he rea

MINERS TO GET
NEW SCHEDULE
Demands to Be Made on Soft
Coal Operators to Go to
Convention
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 20. The
wage scale demands to be presented
to the soft coal operators in the cen
tral competitive field of Ohio, Illi
nois and Western Pennsylvania, which
will serve as the basis of relative
wage scales in all the bituminous
fields of the country, will be sub
mitted to the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America Monday or
Tuesday morning at the latest. At
tempts will be made to make the in
structions of the convention on the
principal demands regarding the
amount of the increase (presumably
about 60 per cent.) and the shortening
of working time to six hours daily
five days a week absolutely mandatory
upon the miners - representatives in
the Joint scale conferences at Buffalo
September 25 and to direct them
either to obtain recognition of these
principal demands without change or
to call out the bituminous miners of
the country in a general strike No
vember 1.
The men who are formulating the
scale demands on which the question
of a general strike of coal miners this
fall will depend, are Frank Farring
ton, of Springfield. 111., and Philip
Murray, of Pittsburgh, presidents of
tlio Illinois and Wertern Pennsylva
nia district organizations, to whom
this has been referred by tbu saale
committee. General agreement as to
the extent of the wage demands is
said to exist in the committeo and the
general nature of the demands has
been determined, although no formal
statement will be given out before
the committee reports to the conven
tion next week. As slated earlier,
however. It is admitted that a 60 per
1 cent, lnrease in wages will probably
be demanded.

WALLS OF NINEVEH
STTLL TRACEABLE
London.—Mosul the modern Nine
veh, is a picturesque but not alto
gether attractive city. The houses
are built of irregular blocks of stone,
a white stucco, made by burning laid
in thick mortar. They are usually
covered with the local gypsum rock.
The roofs, of the same material as
the walls, are usually flat, with a
waist-high parapet, but are not in
frequently domed. Doorways are
often made of slabs of easily carv
ed gypsum.
Opposite Mosul, across the river
are the last vestiges of Nineveh,
capital of the second of the world's
great empires. In places, great walls
of the ancient city, built of tremen
dous masses of sundried brick laid
on a high broad wall of cut stone,
are still traceable. The city was
further protected by a moat into
which the waters of a small river
could be conducted. It was hewn
to a depth of twenty feet and a
width of fifty yards and, like the
walls, is in evidence to-day.
Two mighty mounds, situated a
mile to the east of the river and
somewhat more than that distance
apart, contain the principal ruins.
The more northerly Is called Kuyun
jik, the shambles, because here a
party of Yezidis, fleeing from Kur
dish persecution to take refuge In
the city, were overtaken and slaugh
tered. In this mound are the ruins
of Sennacherib's palace, built about
700 B. C. The southern mound
covers the ruins of Esarhaddon's
palace. Because it is the site of a
village in which is the reputed tomb
of the prophet Jonah it has been
jealously guarded.
MAKING BEES EFFICIENT
One of the odd discoveries of the
war was that bees, from a humble
point of view, wasted time, and a
practical result of tbe discovery was
the induction of bees Into more
businesslike ways of honey-making
that vastly Increased the production
of honey. No bee expert p.erhaps,
could change the habit of a single
bee. but by studying the architecture
of the hive and the behavior of Its
inmates, it was found possible to
make a hive in which the care of
the infant bee would develop upon
fewer "nurses" and release a con
siderable number of nurses for work
In the actual production of honey.
By eliminating bees of an ob
servably lower standard of efficiency
than others the total efficiency of the
hive was Increased. In a hive which
under pre-war conditions, contain
ed some 40,000 bees, about evenly
divided Into "nurses" and honey
makers, the United States Govern
ment experts found a way to set
the majority to honey making. And
such was the increased efficiency of
the bees that they provided, during
the war. net only for a greatly In
creased home consumption of honey,
but for fifteen times as much as
had been previously exported.

Gets Tracts Valued at $2,000
From Franklin County
Man
Chambersburg, Sept. 20.—Addi
tional tracts of land valued at up
wards of $2,000 have been sold to
the State by W. L. Forney, of this
place, through Real Estate Agent
H. B. McNulty, of town. This is the
closing chapter of the real estate
deal between Mr. Forney and the
State which will involve the trans
fer of approximately $23,000 in real
estate and properties.
Soon after the details of the sale
of property adjacent to the Sanato
rium had been settled, it was learned
by the state that Mr. Forney owned
land on the skirts of the reserva
tion. Negotiations were at once
opened with him towards the pur
chase of the land. Mr. McNulty.
after a conference with State Health
Commissioner Martin, went to the
site in question, with a state ap
praiser, and closed tha deal whereby
the state secures twenty-nine acres
of ground at $5O per acre. This deal
disposes of all of Mr. Forney's hold
ings in the vicinity with the ex
ception of about seven acres near
the borough of Mont Alto. The tract
of land transferred by the last deal
is planted in peach and apple trees
and will yield heavily within a few
years.
Johnson Abandons
Trip to the Coast;
Will Return East
By Associated Press*
Duluth, Minn., Sept. 20.—Senator
Hiram "W. Johnson announced last
night that he had abandoned his
proposed trip to the Pacific coast to
answer President Wilson's speeches
on the League of Nations. He will
leave for Washington, D. C., Sun
day.
Senator Johnson expressed the
view that the League Covenant
turned over the Monroe doctrine to
foreign powers for interpretation.
He declared it unthinkable that any
American wrote the tenth article of
the Peace pact or that any Ameri
can could subscribe to it.
"President Wilson's amendment
to the League Covenant designed to
safeguard the Monroe doctrine is a
fraud, a delusion and a snare," de
clared Senator Johnson.
The crowd which heard Senator
, Johnson packed the largest hall in
the city and hundreds were turned
away.

Republic Establishes
Most Enviable Record
Three years and four months
ago the Myers Motor Co., Inc.,
Lynchburg, Va_, sold to the Voegele
& Dinning Co., Inc., of that city,
a Republic Model F, three-quarter
ton Job. This truck has been used
continuously ever since over the
hills and rough cobblestones of
Lynchburg, considered the roughest
of any city in America, with prac
tically no repair cost until about
sixty days ago, when Mr. Robertson,
manager of the concern, asked the
Myers Motor Co. what they would
allow him on his truck in exchange
for a new Republic.
"As the Job looked very rough,"
said Mr. Myers, "body worn out* no
tires, no steering gear and other
parts missing, it appeared to be
worth very little, so I suggested he
run it into the shop and have it
fixed up, which he did at a cost of
$306. Mr. Robertson recently told
me that the truck was working as
well or better than it did three years
and four months ago, and posi
tively refused to consider less than
$1,600 for it. He expects three or
four years of service out of it, after
which he will have it overhauled
We figure it cost him $249 less than
nothing.
"When the manager approached
me for a truck, he suggested that
we get him a set of much heavier
springs, stating that when his truck
negotiated Ninth street hill, the
steepest grade in the city, that the
fenders sagged. He admitted, how
ever, that then weighed, they found
the truck had been {lulling 7,200
pounds of glucose up the hill. He
didn't need new springs, but a
driver who would put on one load
instead of four.
"I am going into this stationer's
and fill my fountain pen with ink.

J°t down a masterpiece."

notion store and fill It with notions,
you'd do well."—Courier-Journal.

LAWS REGARDING
USE OF LICENSE
IN OTlffiß STATES
Various State Laws Regarding
Time Allowed Use of Plates
From Another State
Inquiries have been coming into
the Automobile Department of the
Telegraph recently regarding the
use of Pennsylvania Automobile li
censes in other states when the own
er of a car is visiting that state, and
also the use of licenses of other
states in this State. The present
motor laws of Pennsylvania State
the use of licenses of other states
when the owner is visiting Pennsyl
vania is reciprocal, that is, that
Pennsylvania permits the use of an
other State license only so long as
that State permits the use of a
Pennsylvania license in the State
in question. For instance, New Jer
sey permits the use of a license from
another state only fifteen days,
j Therefore a New Jersey owner can
use his license here for only fifteen
days. If he stays longer he must
take out a Pennsylvania license. In
New York, whose laws are recipro
cal the same as Pennsylvania, the
owner of a car from this State can
use his Pennsylvania license there
for a year, providing he is visiting
in New York. The same holds goqd
for a New York license in this State.
If a resident of New York takes up
his residence here, he must take out
a Pennsylvania license. Following

The tlmblc was originally called a
thumb bell by the English, because
worn on the thumb, then a thumble,
and finally Its present name. It was a
Dutch invention and was first
to England In 1895. Thimbles were
formerly made of iron and brass, but
In comparatively late years they have
been made of gold, silver, brass, Iron,
horn, ivory and even glass and pearly
In China beautifully carved pearl
thimbles are seen, bound with gold
and with the end of gold. The first
thimble Introduced Into Biam was a

It is shaped like a lotus bud made of
