CADILLAC
If ever a motor car was
at once both stimulating
and soothing, that car is
the Cadillac Eight.

a degree in which he has
not found them in any
other car.

SCREENED FROM VULGAR EYES
Only a Short Time Ago the Japanese
Emperor and His Heir Lived
Lives Apart.
There must be many Japanese still
living who can remember when their
countrymen would have regarded with
horror the manner In which tho crown
prince allows himself to bo gazed up
on by foreign crowds.
So late as 1807 no Japanese was
allowed to look upon the emperor, who
lived a life apart In tho seduslon of
his palace. All that was seen of him
by those who waited on his commands
wns his bnck. When the rule wus lirst
modified to tho extent of his leaving
the palace, all shutters had to be put
up, all blinds drawn, and even the
crevices covered wjth paper, and no
one was permitted In the streets.
Vast changes have, taken place since
then, hut even today It Is not consid
ered quite proper and respectful by the
masses of the people to look at the
emperor or his heir when they drive
through the streets.
Telephones.
Up until 1800 telephones were more
or less of an experiment. The demand
was small, particularly from resi
dences. In a large number of homes,
the telephones were placed In kitch
ens, It taking several years' time to
educate subscribers to believe that
parlors were more suited for them
than a location alougsldo the kitchen
range.
Eve was made before mirrors and
her daughters hnvo kept in front of
them ever since.
