“ICTR Advantages of Low Tension Masneto and Make-and-Break Spark as Employed on the Model H STUDE: AIKIER. “The Automobile With a reputation behind it.” E have amply demonstrated, during the past season, that the ignition system as em- ployed on our new Model H Car is absolutely reliable and effective. The Simms-Bosch low tension magneto, which we use to furnish the current for our make-and-break spark, gives an extremely large and hot spark in each cylinder. : This is the identical type of mag- neto employed on the winning cars in the recent Vanderbilt international road races, and when gear driven, as in the Studebaker car, we have found its service to be practically perfect. In furnishing the current for the make-and-break spark with our low tension magneto, less than two feet of wiring is required, short circuiting troubles are avoided and spark-plug annoyances are eliminated. All the controlling mechanism of our ignition system is located on the top of the cylinders and is readily accessible. Every part of the Studebaker Car is the result of long and painstaking experience. Our improvements have all been for better service, not for exploitation.

Maxcracterens Catpra’s: DENTINE STP lene (in P fod | J S I look at a picture of George Eliot, showing full the familiar unmitigated ugli ness of her, I recall what a French woman, met abroad, and who had often seen the great Geo during a stay in England, said of her. She v seems, while totally without beauty, irresistibly fascinating tomen. When she appeared, beauties were deserted. She dressed with absolute inde- pendence, regardless of grace or mode, was almo: invariably shrouded in a plain gray robe straig up and down, corsetless. Yet her charm over men was of extraordinary strength. A court always surrounded her, and all efforts at rivalry were futile. She herself cared only for men’s conversation, frankly scorned her sex as too little for her, showed her contemptuous avoidance of women openly. She had charm. Hers was the sway which from immemorial time has shown that when the ugly woman of charm appears, the beauty need but haul down her flag at mournful half-mast For the greatest of these is charm.—Lowell Courier-Citizen. Gere MICHAUD has turned his atten- tion to “The Reading Habit in the United States,” and furnishes the new Putnam’s with an article on that subject. From the map and from the statistics of the number of books issued by libraries in 1903 in the various States, it may be seen that Massachusetts leads with 304 books to the hundred of population. Connecticut comes next with 227, and then we skip clear across the country to California with 207. Among the other Western States Colorado and Montana lead, with Wisconsin ahead in the middle Western region. One observes that Indiana is too busy making books to read them, her rate being only 59. RS. MARY BACON FORD tells an anec- dote that is exceedingly characteristic of stler, says the Scrap Book. he artist had just completed his famous “px: cock room” for Mr. Leyland. He was exhaus He had spent the better part of three weeks on his back on a scaffolding completing the cviling. When he presented his bill Mr. Leyland re fused to pay it, saying that it was exorbitant Whistler was in no mood for controversy. Several weeks passed before he again gave the subject real thought; then he made another trip to the room. It was still covered with his working mate- rials, and, once more donning his studio cloth Whistler sat down to work in front of one of the two peacocks. Some days later Mr. Leyland, who did not know that the artist had been in the house, took an acquaintance to view the room. On opening the door, he was confronted by the spectacle of 8 peacock grasping in one claw an immense pile of gold coins. Comment on the subject was quite impossible, but the result of the work was just what Whistler had intended. Next morning he re dac for payment in full,and a very polite note conta! ing an offer of an extra amount if he woul’! store that portion of the picture under the claw to the original design.” pam [‘ ‘OR fr most ¢ busine record has cl Henry a pan accour could bound traged had a charm and M “to co showin person courte: would Inving famou; Of the Alis Irving They traveles potents Fesenta the off Sportsn women invento losophe bad, for ship for Let me when h Brook rebuilt lived in would party at keft out t forme andot ask a fe bo the t others fi and I wa Two. comicbooks.com
