PARIS SHOW. CONTRASTS.

The Motoring Correspondent of a London paper writing from Paris last month. said

The wider scope of the internal com. bustion engine is vividly illustrated at the Paris motor show now in progress- At our end is a 1-6.p. motor-cycle priced completo at £14. At the other end is a British limousine car which costs £4,000 and rated at 40-h.p. One consumes one gallon of petrol for 200 miles, the other gallon for about 12 miles.

The millionaire and the poor man have a mutual interest in this year's show..

Tucked away in the corner of one of the galleries is a motor-cycle which is naively described as being suitable for woman or priest. It is a low-powered, tractable little mouss with the top mem- ber of the frame cut away and the mechanism fully protected so that skirts will not prove a disadvantage."

PLAN TO GIVE THEM LESS AND MARRIED MEN MORE

Engines have been improved in minor details which have led to a greater power output in relation to weight. The maxi- mum speed of various cars has been cor- respondingly incretised. There are at least a dozen cars on view with which the makers give, for what it is worth, a guarantee of a speed of 10 miles an hour. This speed is claimed for, amotig others, new Hispano-Suiza, the Isotta, Fraschini, and the Farman. For the Lancia, a comparatively low-power car,ed to university, schools, banks, and big speed of 70. miles an hour is claimed.

To increase the number of children of the intellectual and professional classes of the American nation. Professor Wil liam McDougall has proposed to Harvard University a general reduction of the salaries paid to bachelors and a corres ponding enlargement of the emoluments received by married men with children.

The professor's proposals are address- corporations. He says:" Let the post- tions which are now paid £500 a year be remunerated in future, when they are filled by bachelors, with £500. On mar- riage. let a man, regardless of what salary he is drawing, receive an addition al £100 a year, and at the birth of cach The multi-cylinder cars capable of 00 child, let him begin to receive an ad- miles an hour will also travel at walking ditional £753 a year and continue to pace on top gear.

As much attention is paid to the cooling of the oil as the engine itself. The Renault is also fitted with an oil purifier which operates rather after the fashion of a milk-separator and ensures that any impurities are remov-1

ed.

Shock absorbers are almost generally fitted as standard to the springs of small and large cars. This feature is probably the result of the bad condition of the French roads, but it is a point of com- | fort that English makers might well copy. My experience is that most small ears require such a device.

"Then, instead of paying £soo a year to a bachelor, we would have the follow- ing scale of salaries:

To a bachelor, £500.

To a married man with no children, £600.

To a married man with one child, £675. Married, with two children, £750-

If everyone did a bit towards making condi tions better for others less fortunate, there would be more happy people, sir.

RICH MAN'S WILL SURPRISE

DISLIKED HIS WEALTH TALKED

ABOUT.

Mr. James-Carr, of Higher Openshaw, Manchester, who had an income of nearly £9,000 a year. but lived in a six-room house in an upper working-class terrace, left £187,275 gross, and net personalty amounting to $184,958. He died on Aux

30th, aged 87.

He left the income from £51,600 to his only two relatives and to two friends made 20 legacies of from £200 to £1,000 to friends and bequeathed to charities £83,000, as well as the reversion of the capital appropriated to the four pris cipal beneficiaries during their lifetime, and the residue of the estate..

To his neighbours-working class folk- who thought him a man of simple tastes, comfortably off. the news of Mr. Carr'a wealth came as a surprise. His relatives know of it, but respected his dislike to having it talked about .

Mr. Carr was a bachelor and retired 25 years ago with a competence mado from a Manchester bleaching business. He contined to live in the las. a week hous he had built, together with three others, with the first money he made. He spent extremely little, invested wisely, and let his fortune grow."

Clement's Church, Open- shaw, on Sundays, and had a couple of weeks at Blackpool every year. His only. indulgence was to hire a taxicab to go

The 20 small legacies are chiefly to old friends as keepsakes, but several are to working-class relatives of people he had known when he was poorer.

On the eve of the greatest sporting event in America-the world's baschall series-a scandal has been divulged which is causing the greatest consterna- tion among the millions of enthusiasts who support the national game.
