CI WAS ovei some of the most va- ITried and picturesque terrain of Prance, the Valley of the Uhone and the country lying on each side of It that the Ornf Zeppelin fought her way recently, Hnully to find a hav-en at the French nuvl airport near Toulon, on l lie edge of the Mediter-ranean. Of this southeastern region of Frunee, l.ytn g the Interior metropo-lis. I.yon might he called the New York of France, a great manufacturing city, its heart on the tongue of land at the continence of two Kient rivers, the Rhone and the Snone, nnd dominated at one side by a tone. lug palisade, on whose very summit rises the monstrous modern Byzantine Church of Four-vlere- . The people Inevitably suggest Americans the benutlful women gowned with taste and restraint; the men energetic and alert; the flocks of pretty children well dressed nnd with charming manners, while what one sees of the life of the city Is as spirited and delightfully re-freshing us the cool floods that sweep past Its long quays. It Is a beautifully arranged city, which has taken full advantage of Its situation. Its twin rivers, spanned by 22 handsome bridges and dotted with view along the great river, 300 feet below, and across the outlying country Is broad and brilliant wide fields un-der cullvntion, olive orchards and ngled meads that roll upward In gentle slopes toward the grim fort of St Andre, Hint might be a walled city In Itself, and below, opposite the brok-en bridge of St Benezct, the former defense tower of Phlllppe-le-Be- l. a shaft of l.oney against Hie cloudless sky. But that view pules beside the one from the fort of the gaunt gray nick with Its white palace, that grows and grows us It Is looked upon until It dwarfs Die city and Itself becomes the only object In the greut flat plain a towering tombstone over dead ambitions. King Rent's Castle. Tarascon means unlucky King Rene's benutlful square castle, that clambors up the rocks of the liver buuk, a soft-tone- d medieval picture. At its feet the smootn green mirror of the Ithone, that has reflected so many a chlvalrlc pageant in Its day, holds up a quivering counterfeit of the stately structure, with every angle smoothed, eery color softened. The view from the great stone bridge is perfect, tin delicate tan of the stones cut clean against the back-ground of embaying trees and azure overhead. And what a scene at sun- - battered public wash-bonls- , are lined with superb, tree-shad- quays on all sides. There are miles of other fine streets and many parks nnd squares. Imposing modern commercial and public buildings In no way detract from the interest of the remarkable Cathedral of St. Jean and Its attend-ant, the incrusled and arcaded Elev-enth century Manecnnterle, or Chor. Ister's house or from the quaint Ro-manesque Church of St. Martln-d'-Alnn-with Its Inlays of colored stones nnd its tower with ncroterlu. A su-perb view from the balconies of the tower of the Fourvlere church sweeps a hundred-mil- circle of city nnd plain, fenced In by snowy peaks, among which Mt filnnc Is clearly visible In good weather. On Its southern trip the great dirig-ible sailed easily over I.yon at grent Sliced, helped by the Southward flow of the Mistral.' the famous wind of the' Ithone valley. Hut or the attempt-ed trip northward, with engines crip-pled, this same Mistral proved an en eir.y nnd the ship whs sent drifting ROIlthwnrfl fnnp ho 'urn I vin set on the low hills of the opposite shore! Silhouetted black and spectral against the flaming orb that goes down behind its slender, towering donjon keep, the storied castle of Beaucalre pulses egalii with life, and one feels the gentle ghosts of Aucassln and Nlc-olet-hovering about the scene of their romance. . On up the beautiful' Ithone valley the great ship fought 1(3 way past Orange nnd Montlmnr to Valence where the dangerous drift to the southeast began. The danger lay in the nature of this southern region. A very short distance east of the ribbon of the Rhone valley the country rises sharply. This Is the oid province of Dnuphlne which has been called an "Itullnn Switzerland" by the French them-selves, for It has the sunny skies and rich vegetation of the Mediterranean peninsula nnd the cold, stern, snow-capped mountains of the Swiss. The most characteristic feature of lbs province Is Its vivid contrasts; tre-mendous masses of granite pyramids. reached. ' Niames and Avignon. In its battle to fly northward the crippled ship first sailed over the Hut Ciiiiiargiie country In the ilelto of the Rhone; then over Nlmes. The latter city Is the most notnide of those in this region a big, lienltliy-mlnded- . sprawling city full of languorous southern fragrance, rich In splendid avenues, and a park liner than any other In provincial France, nnd glory-ing In the finest Itoinau ruins outside Italy Itself. Right through I he smil-ing, scented heart of the city runs the" little walled stream whose source Is the cool stuing at the foot of Mont ravaller, that feeds the ancient Ro-man hntbs. Every art that man could wield has tollpd tn rmik- ihp nnrk nnri bare and blasted and savagely deso-late- ; long stretches of primeval forest, pines nnd firs of noble girth and height, from among which here and there huge rocks leap up like uncouth animals of another age; smiling pas-ture lands and farms, cut by profound gorges; stormy-lookin- peaks starred with glaciers; tiny hamlets nestling among the ,ilneg; milky roads nnd g sierras of needlelike peaks; deep, Irregular, narrow little gorges, each with its rushing, boiling torrent far down among the contorted rocks of the bottom. The engineering difficulties through-out Pauphine are exceptional. Along the railroad half the scenery Is black tunnels and stinging clouds of cinders. But one cures not a whit for that baths lovely beyond compare hind scape architecture, sculpture, hydra u lie engineering, horticulture, and nil the rest. With Its formal Eighteenth century urns, balustrades, statuary and arrangement, It Is not Roman now In anything save meinoi j ; but It Is perfect. The great, shtiltere.l amphitheater tells more truly of Itoinnn days, with Its terrific masses of masonry and lis suggestion of cruel spurts ; and where two busy streets rrns. among the scanty renin ins of thp form, rises the most brilliant of nil the ruins In Knince, the little "temple of the for tmiate princes of youth." It Is ex-quisite a Jrwel so rare that not even Its brummagem setting can dim the luster of the fireek spirit that Infuses every detail of It, Roman though It be A little to the northeast lies Avlg non. city of the popes It Juts boldly up from the plain on great Isolated rock, from which springs the huge Fourteenth century papal palace, a wonderful mixture of pilson and for-tress nnd iMaililicial res'deiiee.

A little further north tlinn the aren which at one time threatened destruc-tion to the huge airship, but character Islic of the entire region, is Grenoble, superbly placed at the Junction of the Isere nnd the Drac. in an exquisite plain, swept about on every side by range upon range of glorious moun-tains that tower up 10,000 feet. Uto the realm of perpetual snow. turreted walls leap picturesque-ly up to the forts on the top of the hill on the other side of the river. The Fifteenth century Palace of Justice, wllh its d roof, bold dor-mers, and elegant chimneys. Is said in lie the finest Itennlssance building In the Valley of the Rh wfc.

New York Times. THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Cao Toil Aniw.r?) , Q. What should.be done when dif-ficulty Is encountered ui shifting gears? Afls. Kngnge the clutch a few sec-onds while the engine Is runu'ng, then disengage It and try again. Q. Wlint should be the position of the left foot when Irlvltig? Ans. Not on the dutch.' On the floor. Q. Will a clogged oil filter result in damage to the engine! Ans. No. The filter merely ceases to function and the oil is by passed. Unless the filter is renewed after 0 miles it becomes' necessujy to change the oil every ftOO miles, as against 2,000 with the filter In proper shape. Q. What causes a dirty bulb to burn out more rapidly than a clean one? Ans. The dirt prevents the radia-tion of heat as fast as Is necessary, thereby shortening the life of the bulb. COOL RADIATORS IN HOT WEATHER ,. " Common Summer Troubles Usually Due to a Lack of Forethought ' Most. .motor drivers find difficulty In keeping their radiators reasonably cool In the sweltering days of July and August Service stations, in town and city, are practically filled, some days, with these panting Iron horses wltb beat afflicted "Innards." Overheating . and other common hot weather troubles are usually due to mistakes that can bo easily avoided. The main points which require atten-tlo-are briefly outlined1 bflow. Do you understand the motor's cool-ing system thoroughly If not, now Is v the time to go over it carefully and And out all there Is to know about It See that tht flow of water Is not Im peded by any sort ot obstruction and that the overflow pip Is not bent be-low the level of the base of the rad-iator filler. lie sure that the overflow pipe Is not clogged or flattened. Clean Radiator. Is the radiator clean ? The front of the radiator should bo free from dirt, license plutes and signs. Also, the back of the radiator should be unob structed so that nothing will Impede the circulation of the air. Does the fan turn freely and Is the belt tension right? The fun should be cloan and Its bearings should be well greased. A good test Is to turn the fan by hand with the engine shut off. If It Is possible to slip the belt easily, but not possible to spin the fan, the tension Is right Is the carburetor choke In proper repair so that K opens all the way? Better open the seasonal shutter on the hot-ai- r tube. Is the float level correct? If too high slight flaodlng will cause on over-ric- h mixture. Does the ignition system furnish a spark of sufficient strength? A weak spark due to excessive lubrication of the magneto, dirty breaker or dis-tributor, or weak magnets, will have an effect similar to lute spark timing and overheating will result. Are the valve tappets properly ad-justed? They should have from .008 to .010 Inch clearance, which' may be gauged by about the thickness of an ordinnry postcard. Are the cylinders free from carbon? If not, remove It i . Oil Reservoir. Is the oil In the cruckcase clean? Gasoline, dirt or other foreign sub-stances will Impair the quality of the oil In the crankcase, resulting In over-heated parts due to Insufficient lubri-cation. The oil reservoir should be drained every 1,500 miles, the walls thoroughly cleaned and a fresh supply of oil should then be put Into the crankcase. Are you using the right grade of oil? Because of the Increased tem-peratures It is often advisable in sum-mer to use a heavier grade of oil than In winter. Are the exhaust pipe and muffler clean? Practically 40 per cent of the heat of combustion escapes through the exhaust It follows, therefore, that If any part of the exhaust sys-tem Is obstructed a part of this heat must be carried off by the cooling water, which will naturally raise its temperature. Are the brakes free? A dragging break will cause overheating In hot weather tht might not occur In cool j weather. I Little Journeys in I Americana f 1 By LESTER B. COLBY Legend of Ampato Sapa A MP A TO SAPA was sn Indian maiden. The legend as I find It does not name the others who figured In her romance and her tragedy. The legend, as It has been handed down through generations, finds the name vf Ampato sufficient In her early years Ampato was not wholly like other girls. She was more beautiful. The Sioux as a trlhe sre rather stolid. They are not towering In stature and are heavy set as a rule. The women are sturdy and stout burden-bearers- . Ampato was not like that The legend says that she grew up to be tall nnrt lithe and winsome, tier raven hnlr was very long and she wore It In thick braids. She darned with the light grace of the antelope In flight and her step was as soft and sure as that of the panther. Ampato Snpa did her full share of the day's labor but she ended her toll at night time with a smile and a song on her lips. The village loved Ampato. The legend, as It comes to me, does not tell the name of Am-pato' father or her mother or ot any of the braves who wooed her. Per-haps tt Is better so. Nor does It tell the name of Mm who became her husband. No, the legend Is about Ampato and St. Anthony's falls. These fulls are on the Mississippi river in Minnesota. The Indians, when Father Hennepin found the falls, called them "Kara." The word Is from Irara, which means "to laugh." Therefore, the name of the Falls of St Anthony,' In the language of the red men, meant laughter. But the red men say that the laugh-ing waters also weep, each day at sunrise, for Ampato. The story of Ampato was sn old story when Hen-nepin, Franciscan monk of the Re-collect order, came upon those fulls one October day In ,1688 the first white man ever to set eyes upon them, Hennepin, In his story of their grandeur, estimated that tiiey made a sheer drop of sixty feet. But he told his story too well. A few years later, others who followed him said the wa-ters here fell thirty feet. : In time scientific parties came end measured the falls. The drop? Oh, twelve feet. But a world of water goea over them and the roar is deafening at times. The stream comes as a living torrent In full flood, it Is mighty and Impressive. Well, Ampato Snpa as she grew to womanhood, unfolded like a flower, tier bosoms rounded and It was noted among the Sioux that their fairest daughter had ripened. 'And any brave that might be her heart's desire she could have for the choice. You see. In this she was not like other girls among the Sioux. Feats of strength went round. The young men rode ponies in the contests. They painted their faces and bodies tn many colors and danced In their finery. I wonder why the legend does not tell the name of the man she chose or by what arts he captured her. Perhaps he Is nameless as a punish-ment for his sins. Anyway, the le-gend merely records that he was stronger, Bwifter, a better hunter and a surer rider than the rest of them. Thus he came to her tenl and there stayed and was tier's. It was a happy union. Two babies came to bless them. There was Joy in their teepee. Soon other families attached themselves to Ampnto's hus-band. Ills teepee wus the center of a group which meant that be was recognized as a chief. Maybe the attentions turned his head. He became ambitious. He de-sired power. And among the Sioux a chief. If bold, might take on more than one wife. Plurality of wives, in a way, was a distinction. Ampato's husband came home one day wltb a second wife. Ampato was snd. She wept Her husband then, to dry away her tears, told her that this other wife should always be her servant She should do the heavy work. Ampato would always be his beloved. Itul Ampato wept on. And the next morning she was gone, flone, too, were her two children. She had taken them with her That winter Ampato sjienl at a dis-tant village In the wigwam of her father. One early morning In the springtime, when the blood roots and adder-tongue- s bloomed In the shadows and the marsh marigold was aglow In the swamps, Ampato paddled nut Into the tumbling waters of the Missis-sippi river above the falls. While her village looked on she took her two ha hies to her bosom and began her death chant. The frail canoe wns caught In the torrent Over the Kalis of St. Anthony It plunged and that was all. She had sacrificed herself and her infants be-cause of the Inconstancy of her hus-band. And that Is why, the ancient legend says, the waters of the Kails of St. Anthony, known as Itaru, the laugh-ing waters, cease laughing every day at daybreak and for a time become sobs. So If you ever stand by these fulls at dawn and bear the laughter of the waters turn to weeping you will know why. They are sobbing for Ampato, Hie beautiful girl of the Sioux. . & 1921. Leater B.

The mineral product of Nevada has been overshadowed In recent years by the agricultural Industry and the raising of turkeys Is a very Important fea-ture of the farming business. This section of the country Is particularly suited for raising gobblers on account of the dry climate In which the birds flourish. Ruin and dampness are death to young turkeys.

Efficiency engineers view with alarm the great amount of valuable material which Is wasted In the tin cans which primarily contiin food products of one kind or another and which find their way to the dump. The amount of tin represented is very considerable and should be put to better use. Conse-quently there Is a call for something which will be a substitute for the tin can. The requirements are that the understudy should be light and of cheap production. Much Care Is Required in Adjustment of Plugs Simple as It may seem, the Job of adjusting the points ot spark plugs Is something requiring considerable care. The center point should never be bent. Adjust for proper clearance with the point that Is connected to the ground ed part of the plug. ' A good average adjustment Is a clearance the thickness of u thin dime, but a dime Is not a bandy tool to bend the longer point If the clearances are not Just right.

Three Conditions Cause Gasoline Preignition Prelgnlt on of tho gasoline charge In the cylinder Is something that the motorist may find more prevulent as the compression ratio of the engine is raised. Usually, one of three things Is responsible for this condition which results In a diminution of engine power. , These are exceptionally hot exhaust valves, high temperature of the spark plug electrodes, or a bit of Incandes-cent carbon on the cylinder head or the piston. Knowledge of the causes should facilitate the elimination of the trouble. New Use for Bad Eggs Rotten eggs have been put to good use by a chemical laboratory at Len-ingrad.
