New Idea In Ventilation.
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. ? '

Medical association in recounting the

^proved that this Is entirely without
foundation.

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. Doc

Harming Against Father's WUL
Marlon. 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.

THE first appeal of our fivcpassenger "Glenbrook"
model is, quite properly, its exquisite beauty
and distinctiveness. 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.
It represents in fullest measure all that the Paige
nameplate implies.
