A Thousand a Day
Now Buy Chevrolet
The New Superior Chevrolet is the most satisfactory low priced,
fully equipped, most economically operated automobile in the
world today.
This year’s motor car buyers have recognized this fact to such
an extent that 1922 has seen Chevrolet become the largest pro-
ducer of high-grade automobiles in the world.
The New Superior Chevrolet has many improved features. It
has a new front axle assembly, a new rear axle assembly including
spiral ring and pinion gears. The clutch has been improved. In
addition to its service brake, a hand-lever emergency brake has
been provided. The front and rear springs have been re-graded
to give easier riding.
With such improvements the New Chevrolet is indeed superior
—superior in first price because no car of similar equipment and
quality can be bought for less—superior in maintenance cost
because it has the lowest cost of operation of any car built.

Parachute In Twa Parts.
The parachute holds the same re-
lation to the aircraft that the life
preserver holds to watercraft, and
even when air travel has become rea-
sonably safe, the parachute will con-
tinue to play its part in case a forced
landing is necessary. As the speed
of air travel increases, the strain
placed upon the parachute In leaving
the aircraft becomes greater, and the
danger of rupture of the fabric is also
increased. To reduce this hazard and
to lessen the shock on the person us-
ing the parachute, the two-part para-
chute has been tested in Germany.
Another device destined to accom-
plish the same result, using the regu-
lar parachute, is in the form of a
brake which is Interposed between the
parachute and the jumper. Both of
these devices are described and Illus-
trated in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

la the same queer stick. Mary
goes to school.
I’ve found out now what’s the mat-
ter with the girls—you know, I said
there was something the matter with
them; that they acted queer and
stopped talking when I came up, and
faded away till there wasn't anybody
but me left.
Well, it’s been getting worse and
worse. The girls have had parties,
and more and more often the girls
have stopped talking and have looked
queer when I came up. We got up a
secret society and called it the “Tony
Ten,” and I was going to be its presi-
dent. Then all of a sudden one day
I found there wasn’t any Tony Ten—
only Carrie Heywood and me. The
other eight had formed another soci-
ety and Stella Mayhew was their
president.
I told Carrie we wouldn’t care; that
we’d just change it and call it the
“Tony Two:” and that two was a lot
more exclusive than ten, anyway. But
I did care, and Carrie did. I knew
she did. And I know it better now
because last night—she told me. You
see things have been getting simply
unbearable these last few days, and
it got so it looked as if I wasn’t even
going to have Carrie left. She began
to act queer and I accused her of IL
and told her if she didn’t want to be-
long to the Tony Two she needn’t.
That I didn’t care; that I’d be a secret
society all by myself. But I cried.
I couldn’t help crying; and she knew
I did—care. Then she began to cry;
and today, after school, we went to
walk up on the hill to the big rock;
and there—she told me. And it was
the divorce.
And it’s all that Stella Mayhew—
the new girl. Her mother found out
I was divorced (I mean Mother was)
and she told Stella not to play with
me, nor speak to me, nor have a thing
to do with me. And I said to Carrie,
all right! Who cared? I didn’t. That
I never had liked that Mayhew girl,
anyway. But Carrie said that wasn't
all. She said Stella had got to be
real popular before I came; that her
folks had lots of money, and she al-
ways had candy and could treat to
ice-cream and auto rides, and every-
body with her was sure of a good time.
She had parties, too—lots of them;
and of course, all the girls and boys
liked that.
Well, when I came everything was
all right till Stella’s mother found
out about the divorce, and then—well,
then things were different First
Stella contented herself with making
fun of me, Carrie said. She laughed
at the serge dresses and big homely
shoes, and then she began on my
name, and said the Idea of being
called Mary by Father and Marie by
Mother, and that 'twas just like Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (That's a story.
Carrie says. I'm going to read it, if
Father’s got it. If there ever was
another Mary and Marie all in one in
the world I want to know what she
did.) But Carrie says the poking fun
at me didn't make much difference
with the girls, so Stella tried some-
thing else. She not only wouldn’t
speak to me herself, or invite me, or
anything, but she told all the girls
that they couldn't go with her and
me, too. ’ That they might take their
choice. And Carrie said some of them
did choose and stayed with me; but
they lost all the good times and ice-
cream and parties and rides and ev-
erything; and so one by one they
dropped me and went back to Stella,
and now there wasn't anybody left,
only her, Carrie. And then she began
to cry.
And when she stopped speaking, and

very Angry. She said at first: “Non-
sense, Mary, don't be impertinent. Of
course you'll go to school!” and all
that kind of talk. But I kept my tem-
per. I did not act angry. I was sim-
ply firm and dignified. And when she
saw I really meant what I said, and
that I would not step my foot inside
that schoolroom again—that it was a
matter of conscience with me—that I
did not think it was right for me to
do it, she simply stared for a minute,
as if she couldn’t believe her eyes and
ears. Then she gasped:
“Mary, what do you mean by such
talk to me? Do you think I shall per-
mit this sort of thing to go on for a
moment?”
I thought then she was going to
send me home. Oh, I did so hope she
was. But she didn't She sent me
to my room.
“You will stay there until your fa-
ther comes home this noon," she said.
“This is a matter for him to settle."

of her going to him with it She was

I knew all, and saw her crying there
before me. and thought of my dear
blessed mother. I was so angry I
could scarcely speak. I just shook
with righteous indignation. And in
my most superb, haughty and disdain-
ful manner I told Carrie Heywood to
dry her tears; that she needn't trouble
herself any further, nor worry about
losing any more Ice-cream nor parties.
That I would hereto declare our
friendship null and void, and this day
set my hand and seal to never speak
to her agaln, if she liked, and consid-
ered that necessary to keeping the ac-
quaintance of the precious Stella.
But she cried all the more nt that,
and flung herself upon me, and, of
course, I began to cry. too—and you
can’t stay superb and haughty and
disdainful when you’re all the time
trying to hunt up a handkerchief to
wipe away the tenrs that are cours-
ing down your wan cheeks. And of
course I didn't. We had a rest good

each other better than ever, and no
body could come between us, not
even bringing a chocolnte-fudge-marsh-

ndore. But I told her that nhe would

didn’t usually ask him anything about
me. She settled everything herself.
But this—and the veiy thing I didn't
want her to ask him, too. But of
course I couldn’t help myself. That’s
the trouble. Youth is so helpless in
the clutches of old age.
Well, I went to my room. Aunt
Jane told me to meditate on my sins.
But I didn't. I meditated on other
people's sins. I didn't have any to
meditate on. Was it a sin, pray, for
me to stand up for my mother and re-
fuse to associate with people who
wouldn’t associate with me on account
of her? I guess not!
But even with all this to meditate
on, it was an awfully long time com-
ing noon; and they didn't call me
down to dinner even then. Aunt Jane
sent up two pieces of bread without
any butter and a glass of water. How
like Aunt Jane—making even my din-
ner a sin to meditate on! Only she
would call it my sin. and I would call
it hers.
Well, after dinner Father sent tor
me to come down to the library. So
I knew then, of course, that Aunt Jane
had told him. I didn’t know but she
would wait until night. Father usu-

Yet these hundreds of millions of

Now comes the question: “Where do
leaves go tori There are thousands
of leaves on a big oak or ash or beech,
>et in January there is not an average
of half a leaf per tree in all Britain;
and by the time spring is half over a
dend leaf, except in the very depths of
a thick wood, is pretty hard to find.
The countless leaves have all been
swept up or buried, and the country-
side cleared of all last year’s lumber.
These are among the great mys-
teries. hut there are minor ones equal-
ly puzzling. The moment there is a

hundreds of four-wheelers and hansom-

have to go to a museum to find a single

Simultaneously with these ancient
vehicles, at such times of transport
