I had a fine and gaudy car. quite
fit for dukes and peers; "In it,” I
said. “I’ll travel far—it’s good for
twenty years. It is as good a bus, I
ween. as any guy should need: it
gives me. for my gasoline .all kinds
of power and speed." 'Twas thus 1.
reasoned Monday night. but. on ‘the*
Tuesday morn. I was a sad and
heartsch Wight. I viewed my van
with scorn. My next door neighbors.
the O’Fakes, had bought a wagon
new; it was equipped with four-
wheel brakes, and mine had only
two. I put a mortgage on my shack.
and one upon my shed. and from the
dealer soon brought back an auto
painted red. It had a. brake on
every wheel, and cantilever «springs.
and it was built of costly steel—a
tumbril fit for kings. “This car.“ I
said, "I shall propel until I'm old
and gray, until I hear the passing
hell that summons me away." On
Thursday night I reasoned thus, as
I sat by my door: on Friday morn 1
saw a. bus that made me sick and
sore. It had the fat and mushy tires
that people call balloons; and I went
forth to soak my lyres and sell my
forks and spoons. "I'll have to have
such tires.” I said, “to train with
other guys:" and on my shack and
on my shed a. second mortgage lies.
How happy is the man who tools at
flivver old but true. and doesn't join
the frantic fools who look for some-
thing new!

sTOWAWAY ESCAPES DEATH
FROM FEMIGATING GAS.
in whom he

The lachrymalory quality of a new
fumigating gas now being used by
the L‘nited States Public Health Scr-
vlcc in ship fumigation recently sav-
dc the life of a stop-away and proved
the efficacy of the ”tear" gas in glv.
ing warning to persons who may be
left in compartments undergoing
(utilisation.
A. recent report to Surgeon Geller-
:ll iiugh S. Cumming. from the quar-
antine station at. Baltimore. rclzltvs
the incident in connection with til-1
fumigation of a. vessel at that port.
The Stowaway at first secreted him-
self in the coal bunker, but when he
snrv this space was being preparcd
for fumigation. he hid in the small
compartment. known as tho ropl‘
locker. At this space was conneclvd
with another compartment. which
was being fumigated, the fumes
reached him in his hiding place and
were strong enough to drive him out.
He managed to escape by the upper
conlpanlonway door before falling in
a dazed condition. from whlcll llt‘
was easily revived. none the worse
for a. rather unpleasant experience.
For many years. sulphur dioxide.
generated by the burning of sulphur
in the open air. was about the only
gas used in fumigatlng' ships for the
destruction of disease-carrying in-
sects and vermin. Then, quarantine
officers began to use hydrocyanic
acid gas; but. this proved so danger-
ous that its use was attended with
great difficulty and occasionally with
loss of human life, in spite of the
greatest caution.
During the years 1922-1923, the
Public Health Service and the Chem.
ical \Varfare Service of the United
States Army. ,Working together, de-
velopetd a. new fumigant. known as
cyanogen chloride gas mixture. which
combines the lethal qualities of hy-
drocyanic acid gas with the irritat-
ing or lacllrymatory properties of
tear gas. Also. the gas is generated
more slowly than can be done with
hydrocyanic acid gas. but the effect
on the eye is soul: that anyone who
happens to be overlooked in a com-
partment. as sometimes happens. on
pccially in the case of stowaways.
has a. chance of beln‘g driven out
before he is overcome.

JAMES BROWN. M. P.
The appointment of James Brown,
member of the British Labor Parlia-
ment. as Lord High Commisioner
to the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland produces the
most striking contrast of the advent
of Labor as the ruling party in Eng-
land.
From a miner's cottage rented at
$60 a year at Annbank. near Ayr.
James Brown and his wife will go
to Edinburgh, representing the king
and queen. and dwell in the famous
Holyrood Palace. ancient home of
the Stuarts.
"It is a wonderful change for us
all." said the former coal miner.
As a. wee laddie I used to be taken
over to Holyrood Palace and would
look with awe at it. of course. never
dreaming that one day I'd come to
live there."
For two and a half centuries this
office has been held only by mem—
bers of the highest Scottish nobil—
ity. Although a Socialist Mr. Brown
expects to keep up the historic tra~
ditions as much as Whole. “1 srli
going to show Scotland—ind Eng~
land as well—q" he is quoted as say-'
ing. “that a Socialist and a miner
can do things properly and maintain
the historic traditions.”
At the age of twelve
Brown. as he was called. started
working in a. mine and has worked
there ever since. His wife was for-
Fmerly a mill girl.
When the anembly is over they
expect to return from Holyrood
Palace to their miner‘s cottage of
