The Invisible SAFE that accompanies you The U. S. dollar, while at a premium among the moneys of the world, is not proof against loss or theft. It remained for a great American Institution to provide a simple and personal means for protecting the traveler's funds against this loss or theft. American Express Travelers Cheques "Insure" the value and the safety of your money in traveling at home or abroad. Thirty years of world use by travelers has made them "the insured money of all nations." Their value is universally recognized. Convenient, simple, and handy to use, they are an absolute necessity for the traveler, summer vacationist or tourist of the world. Besides, American Express Travelers Cheques command for the holder the super-service of the American Express Company's world organization, thru its offices and thousands of correspondents everywhere. In the United States and Canada, use the Dollar Cheques in $10, $20, $50, $100 and $200 amounts; in Great Britain, £5 and £10 Sterling Cheques; French Franc Cheques for France, 200 and 400 Francs. Or, as an extra service and convenience-our new Travelers Cheque Exchange Order for $500, convertible without cost into Travelers Cheques. Buy them at Express offices or at your own bank. For all journeys secure your steamship tickets, hotel reservations, and itineraries, or plan your cruise or tour thru the American Express Travel Department. AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY 65 BROADWAY, NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL BANKING-SHIPPING-TRAVEL AND FOREIGN TRADE W BY THE WAY HAT is the smallest coin issued from the United States Mint-the smallest, we mean, in value, not in size? Few people would guess. An exchange tells us that it is the centavo, in value worth about half a cent or an English farthing. Probably few of our readers ever saw one, but it is coined in millions. It is made solely for circulation in the Philippines and its size is large because the Filipinos under the Spanish rule were accustomed to use large coppers. The altitude record in unveiling monuments is to be broken, it is said, when a monument is erected next September over the grave of Dr. James Orton on an island in Lake Titicaca, in Peru. The height is over 12,000 feet above the level of the sea, and Lake Titicaca is the highest steam-navigated lake in the world. Professor Orton was one of the greatest of American naturalists and had remarkable experiences as an explorer in South America. He was a professor at Vassar College, and was away on leave for purposes of exploration and study of natural history at the time of his death in 1877. The Vassar alumni have raised a fund for the Memorial in Dr. Orton's honor. It has been designed by a New York sculptor, Mr. John Ettl. It has the special quality of following the architectural style used by the ancient Incas. The Peruvian Government will be represented officially at the unveiling. A hundred years ago a wealthy bachelor, named Paige, who lived near Al bion, Rhode Island, gave a party; one of the young ladies left a glove. Mr. Paige returned it with the following note: "If from your glove you take the letter G, that glove is love and that I have for thee." The young lady replied: "If from your name you take the letter P, that Paige is age and that won't do for me." The story is vouched for by a friend of The Outlook, whose grandmother had it at first hand. A number of small towns of Massachusetts are offering special inducements in the way of a "cash bonus" in their efforts to attract young physicians to settle in their midst. More than sev enty towns are without doctors, and these are "borrowing" doctors from adjoining communities. Dr. Clara Barrus, literary executor and authoritative biographer of the late John Burroughs, asks that all persons owning interesting letters from Mr. Burroughs will communicate with her at Woodchuck Lodge, Roxbury, N. Y. All letters sent will be promptly copied, or extracted from, and returned to the owners. A London newspaper trying to find the novel with the shortest chapter concluded that the prize went to BulwerLytton, in whose "What Will He Do With It?" the chapter headed "Dénouement" consists of only one word, "Poodle;" but an English critic has hastened to announce that the shortest Sterne's "Tristram Shandy," for in Chapters XVII and XIX Sterne put nothing but dashes. A plot has been discovered, says a Dutch correspondent of an English paper, for the reconquest of Germany by the ex-Crown Prince. If it had succeeded, comments "Punch," it would have served them both right. Prices rise to the skies in the White Mountains, says a Vermont reader, according to one sign recently encountered by a tourist: "Rooms-$1.25 and up 4 of a mile." Marriage in India even to this day is far from according with Western ideas. A friend sends us a column of "Matrimonial Notices" from a Lahore paper. All the "notices" are attempts to make matches. Suitable matches are wanted for girls of fifteen and sixteen and a boy of nineteen. In some cases the caste requisite is specified; in others it is waived. One asks for replies from rich men only-those who will spend 4,000 rupees before the marriage. We give one specimen: Wanted-For a Saraswat Brahman girl aged 16 years of a respectable family possessing good knowledge of Sanskrit and English and well up in household affairs, a match Saraswat Brahman who should have a good moral character and independent means of livelihood. Collegiates can also apply. The "also" in the last sentence is distinctly, if unconsciously, humorous. In Mr. J. C. Squire's "Life and Letters" he tells as an illustration of American humor the story of a traveler on a sleeping-car who had written a complaint to headquarters about the presence of vermin in his berth. "He received back from the administrative head a letter of immense effusiveness. Never before had such a complaint been lodged against this scrupulously careful line, and the management would have suffered any loss rather than cause annoyance to so distinguished a citizen as, etc., etc. He was very delighted with this abject apology. But as he was throwing away the envelope there fell out a slip of paper which had, apparently, been enclosed by mistake. On it was a memorandum: 'Send this guy the bug-letter.'" A correspondent is anxious to find in what old geography the names of countries, towns, and rivers were arranged in more or less rhymed verse. specimen she quotes from memory one set of verses about rivers: First in North America We tell of flowing rivers, Mackenzie, Rio Grande, Columbia, Colorado, Penobscot, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Saco, Merrimac, Connecticut, Hudson and the Mohawk. South America is next. Amazon and Paraguay, As a LOIS LANG'S rendering in deeply sculptured wood of Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper," a beautiful example of the possibilities of this art, is considered one of the finest pieces of wood carving ever executed in this country. By his training and distinguished artistic achievements, Alois Lang, the sculptor, is eminently fitted to represent and hand down the best traditions of the ecclesiastical art of wood carving from the Old World to the New. The place of his birth was Oberammergau, Bavaria, famous alike for its Passion Play, and as being for centuries the seat of Europe's greatest wood carvers. Coming from a family for generations famous as sculptors in wood, Alois Lang inherited in generous measure the talent of his forefathers. After every advantage both in training and in the following of his profession as wood carver and sculp tor in his own native Oberammergau, including a year's study with the great wood sculptor Fortunato Galli, in Florence, Italy, Alois Lang took up his permanent abode in America in 1903 as the head of the Ecclesiastical Art and Wood Carving Department of the American Seating Company. Working under him are some of the most skilled artists of the various schools and periods of wood carving, but Lang's genius guides and inspires them all. Our studios are equipped to execute any commission in the wood carver's art from render ings such as this "Last Supper", or renderings of other subjects of symbolic significance, to simple and less expensive examples of wood carvinglecterns, baptismal fonts, priedieux, altar seating and pews. As personal gifts to the house of worship, or as memorials, such pieces are most appropriate. The services of Alois Lang and his associates are at your disposal. Call on them freely for suggestions.

U.S. MONO-TWIN A solid truck tire that is the latest advancement of the U. S. Tire makers. Superior in cushioning, tractioning, and load carrying capacity, and in 95% of cases far more economical and satisfactory than duals. Today it is the fastest selling solid truck tire in the world. A new U.S. NOBBY CORD Not an enlarged passenger tire, but a truck pneumatic designed and built for trucking conditions. While many still use passenger tires for commercial work, in the 42 and 5 inch sizes Nobby Cords yield a lower cost per mile. Truck Tire Service: judge for yourself its value to you UNI INTIL now American truck owners have never had at their disposal absolutely impartial, honest advice about the right type and right size tire for a specific trucking condition. As much money is wasted today on wrong truck tires as on poor ones. The makers of United States Tires are ready to give anybody engaged in truck operation a full advisory service in the interest of greater economy. Independent and non-partisan advice. A service by experts who have no theories to try out-who make no favorite of either pneumatics or solids. The equivalent of a personal consultation with the best tire-engineering brains in the country. No obligation to anyone who asks for it. Write to our Technical Service Dept. at any length. On questions involving one truck or a fleet of fifty trucks. Recommendations will be for the right size of tire, the right kind of tire, and greater economy. To men who are ordering new trucks a special word: Consider tires as a separate problem from the truck itself. Get the right tire equipment for it before it is delivered-not afterward. Address all letters to Technical Service Dept., United States Tire Co., 1790 Broadway, New York City. The fuller the details you give about your truck tire problem the better you can be served by the U. S. Technical Service men. Wherever in America adolescent girls and boys allow themselves to be hurried into an early marriage, is the true scene of this book's opening chapter. To be sure, Mr. Norris clothes it in the wonderful beauty of the mellow Californian fruit harvesting, but as you read the intensely real incidents of the story you feel that his people are such warmly human Americans as are to be seen in every village, town, and city. Before you realize it you are sharing with them the tension of the conditions which are making for or destroying their happiness in marriage. Increasingly you desire to see the final effect upon them for better or for worse of the marriage bond-accepted or evaded. Never has the whole subject of marriage, its obligations to the individual, the society and the state been handled with such masterly understanding and sympathy. It is a book to read leisurely and to discuss, for it is presented with vivid force and unrelenting honesty-and, moreover, with vision. $2.00 Mr. Norris's earlier novel Salt; the Education of Griffith Adams received, as you may recall, high commendation as a penetrating, scathing analysis of influences which are affecting the school, college and business life of our young men. $2.00 Other Notable Recent Fiction By LEONIE AMINOFF By Natalie de Bogory "NO NIGHT THERE" (The "City Four-Square") A beautiful Sacred song for Church or Home 50c per copy postpaid The Biglow & Main Co., 156 5th Ave., N.
