The Ayrton antigus fan, which, a? cording to Munsey's Magazine, may revolutionize all our systems of venti lation, Is based on the principle that a fan should be brought down sharply from the perpendicular to the horizon tal, and thus drive the air forward In steady puffs and set up a fresh cur tent from the rear. The Inveiltor, who Is an Englishwoman, has given public demonstrations In IJondon with glass models of dugouts and tunnels from which the fan readily expels the smoke. At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton, with a thretMnch fan, sat at one end of a six-foot table while smoke poured forth from a funnel at the other end. The action of the miniature fan not only dispelled the mnoke>but quickly gained such control over It that It pre vented It from coming out of the fun > z>A. JT the hln&g-anfl-' spring principle and Is constructed of light material. It has been used suc cessfully In factories, theaters, mines and sewers. ? Youth's Companion. ?

"It Is a widely accepted belief that cats may suffer from diphtheria and { convey the Infection to human being?,'* says the Journal of the American Medical association in recounting the experiments by which Doctor Savage ^proved that this Is entirely without foundation. 1 Doctor Savage planted vast numbers of diphtheria bacilli In the noses and throats of kittens, hat In no instance did these take the disease, and within 24 hours the bacilli were dead.

O,, July 3.? -ItV from the homefolk* and neighbors that one loams the true character aud person* a'lity of a candidate for t lit* presiden cy. And after attending a week In Ma rlon mingling with the folks who have known Warren <>. Harding ait their lives, those who called him "VVarmi" and hit* wife "Florence," without the slightest exaggeration of their fami liarity with both, the visiting <*>rres pomlenN encouutered reminiscences on ?very shlc of struggle of the Harding*, for in a small town moat everybody knows all about moat everybody's eLse's trials and tlrtmlStUms. Tbe hoiuefolk* talk frankly and sincerely and with an honesty in their eyes that convinces Hie inquirer they would have made the same comtneut even if their most distinguished citizen were not a caudlda;e for the highest office in the land. The story really starts with the u? happy marriage of Florenoe Kling to Peter lH?WoJf It wan 6ne of those youthful marriages which uever would have Occurred in later yWrl. She bore the ordeal for many years, but finally the dominating personality of old Aiuo* Klli?g. her father, persuaded her to obtain t divorce. The aged Mr. Kill tig l? stHl apekeu of as n ?elf-made man who made a big business success aud who felt that his daughter was worthy of a better hushftAd. And aa did everybody else who recognised In Mrs. DeWolf a woman of extraordl* nary taleuts and lovable qualities. When the aei? ration raue Mr. Kllng was Inclined to draw hi* daughter to his aide aud perauaded her to enjoy the fruits of his wealth? either lu ex.. (ended travel or an Exalted social po altlon. But fclrs. DeWolf fell In love with Warren Harding. He was then a. ftoor newspaper man struggling for a foothold. Mr. Kllng would not listen to. the idea of a marriage between hla daughter and Warren Hardlug. He had higher aspiration* and ambitions for her. But his daughter shunned the opportunities which her father seemed to see before her and jn&rried Warren Harding. Old Amo* Kliug didn't think young Hurtling would make good In the world hut Florence Harding thought otherwise She set to work beside her husband wltb an earnestness and determlna* tlon which was her real self. Instead of (be comforts# and luxuries wblcb her father might hav? given her ?be took her place l>e*lde her husband In the tiny ?ew*ps4>er office and while tie de voted himself to the edltbrUl aide, she organised the circulation department. She hired newsboys snd kept them on their toes all the time. To thU day there are baukers ai^l real estate and profe?slonal men who owe their first knowledge of saleainatishlp to' the In structions given th^ni as newsboys by Florence Hardlug Indeed there has been organised here a aort of Flo<reaoe Hardlug aluinul association, the mem ber* being the same newsboys who In their youth sold the Marlon -Star for tlie Hard lugs. Slowly the Harding couple forged ahead but atlll the older Kliug was not reconciled to the choice of his daughter. He lived to see Warren Harding elected lieutenant goveruor aud then Unltftl State* senator and dtii become reconciled to the marriage did become ^reconciled to fcb? marriage.

To merely loof{ at the car is a pleasing experience. L * v The second appeal develops upon acquaints nor with one of the most remarkable power plants in the entire field of six cylinder engineering. Thus admP ' ration is supplemented by profound respect and both appeals merge into Pride of Owneafaip. This new Paige motor is an unusual achievement. It is the result of more than three years of patient research and experiment. It is actually and literally a product of our war time experience. Furthermore this power plant is an altogether dis^ tinctrve product ? conceived by bur ownengmeers and built in our own plants by our own workmen.
