Whei ever the black man is nearest himseif down there, there we go—to games and playtime, to religious gatherings of superstitious cast, to the chantings and the singings of the old African songs. Everything and anything that can contribute, much or little, to the single purpose of this adventure, that of gathering up the black man of Haiti in his essence and being, in hi§ pathetic and picturesque racial loneli- ness, every such point of illumination is captured and presented in thi clearly dramatic and sympathetic | story of a man's search for “Africa’s | Eldest Daughter.” | * * % X i THE CRIME AT DIANA'S FOOL. !

There are the county folks and their retainers—this is an English fete—villagers and tradespeo- ple and all in a beautifully democratic assemblage. In this case there were musicians brought down from London.

Then. when it was all over, Felix Nayland himself, the new master at The Pleasaunce was found at Diana’s Pool—murdered From this time forward the reader has as good a chance as any one to take a hand in the business of trailing crime and discovering the criminal. For, beyond the first chapter which we have just read, the author and the reader are in equal straits as to which way to turn, since Mr. White- church takes the reader into his con- fidence, submitting this theory, or that suggestion, in a somewhat spreading choice of clue and trail. This is 2 good plan, since it makes one feel that he is not only’ hunting down a criminal but that he is also con- structing 2 mvstery story under the easy partnership of one who has written novels before, interesting ones too. * k% X PA: THE HEAD OF THE By Margaret Ashmun, “Topless Towers,” etc. The Macmillan C €“e The old man H about in his chair, holding to his ear the curve of a.red and swollen band,” so the story opens. | MILY. withor of New York twisted | man twisted in his chair, holding to his ear the curv of a red and swollen hand.” and the story ends.

SURVIVE AUTO GASES Paris Experts Find Only Foliage ‘Washed by Rain and Dusted by Breeze Thrive. By the Associated Press, PARIS, August 27.—Smooth-leaved trees, say experts, are the only ones that can live on city boulevards in this day of automobiles. Only those whose foliage is washed by rain and dusted off by the breeze, they believe, will thrive. They have found that the rough leaves of chest- nuts and similar trees have their breathing-pores burned by sulphuric acid. Sulphurous dust, says Prof. Demor- laine of the Agricultural Institute, is produced by the ‘exhaust from auto- mobiles. This, he says, becomes sul- phuric acid in humid and_works into the pores of the leaves. Smooth leaves would be washed clean by occasional rains, or the dust would be blown off by winds before it could damage the trees. PILLAR PUZZLES LONDON Only Memorial Whose Origin Is Absolutely Hidden. LONDON, August 27 (#).— The Eagle Pillar, in Orme Square, Bays- water, is probably the only London memorial about whose origin nothing whatever is known. ®¥is olumn, surmounted eag? One theory is that M. by an Orme, having made a fortane by sup plying Russia with gravel, signified his_gratitude by erecting the column with the Russian eagle on top to grace his square. This explanation, if it could be sub- stantiated, would fix approximately the date of the column. But the Rus- sian eagle has two heads, while the Orme Square bird has only one. Another theory is that the bird is a French eagle, commemorative of Louis Napoleon's residence hereabouts. DRAWS FATHER’S PENSION Son Jailed for Impersonating Dead Parent 20 Years. PARIS, August 27 (#).—Jean-Bap- tiste Tourenne, 60 years old, has for 20 years been drawing the pensiou of his dead father. When government railroad officials learned that one of their retired em ployes, pensioned 35 years ago, would celebrate his hundredth birthday this year, they began to arrange a public ceremony in his honor. In the course of arrangements officials tound that Tourenne had collected his father's pension for so long that a new genera tion of cashiers took it for granted the man they paid was the pensioner himself. Tourenne, therefore, kept on getting paid and lived without worlk ing. A judge sentenced 4im to a year | in Jail. COURT DEFINES PEARLS. Paris Tribunal Rules Cultivated | Gems Must Be Designated.

World standards set by Essex itself must be surpassed to achieve it. Standards of comfort and performance, standards of riding ease and economy, and the out- standing standard of value. Here is all that Essex gave in the past plus advancements that are new and unique in motordom. Here is 50 miles an hour all day long, far greater speed if you want it, and a nding ease that is actually like fly- ing. And here is steam engine smooth- ness and power which performs the hard- est or the simplest task with the same effortless ease. Today’s Essex, like Hudson, has an ex- clusive high-compression, anti-knock motor that, using ordinary gasoline, turns waste heat to power. These motors are the most powerful and efficient in the world per cubic inch of piston displace- ment, within our knowledge. Thousands daily riding in the New Essex realize by what immense margins it holds its leadership—greaterin power, perform- ance and reliability—larger, roomier, more beautifully turned outand-appointed. You have but to see it to share this en- thusiasm. And no matter how high your expectations, they will be brilliantly met, and more, when you ride in the New Essex Super-Six. ESSEX Super-Six Co.
