HoweAboutffr ED HOWE iCepyrlcbt by Th* B*ll Syndic*!*. Inc.) 1 know an old lady, said to be a Lovely Character, who spoilt seven •ons and daughters and nine grandchildren. If they wanted to remain out of school she said: “Certainly; children can be children but once.” When the boys went to work she aided them when they wanted to lay off; she said they were sick when they went rabbit hunting. As a« result, they never kept a job very long. *She waited on all of them in a manner she thought was fine, but which was really shameful. Her children and "grandchildren are all worthless. When this old lady dies she will be greatly surprised. for St. Peter will tell her the truth. No one ever told it to her on earth, and she has always supposed she would go to heaven sure. Keepers of shops have a poor opinion of customers. Is it just or unjust? Are people as unfair and mean as shopkeepers say they are? Still. I have observed that shopkeepers compliment a few. So do bill collectors. Is it possible that only a, few deserve compliments? ... . I was talking the other day with the keeper of a florist shop. She was speaking of Mother’s day. the day when people are supposed to buy roses and send therii to mother. The flower seller said that while people cheerfully paid high prices for funAal bouquets they are stingy In buying flowers with which to celebrate Mother’s day; Instead of ordering gorgeous bouquets they order cheap ones, and don’t seem to have their hearts In it. . When a troublesome person la Anally out of the way It is possible to celebrate with funeralflowers. Every man who has failed likes to say his riches are not In gold; that he has been of more use to the world by giving-go<»<! advice than successful men have been in material affairs. A few men have been useful who have done nothing but give good advice, but they are extremely rare. The world is on a gold basis; men fall or succeed as they make money. . .. -A Wha) pleasure the young man in school gets out of thoughts of what he is gtoing to be!. For he can make himself believe It. But the old fellow gets little pleasure out of conceit; he has tried everything and knows what he can do. while the young fellow has tried nothing and can easily Imagine himself the greatest ruan in the world. 1 was talking lately with a young woman who has am ambition to become a concert singer. She said that in her dreary practicing she was encouraged by the hope of finally giving the people pleasure. . . . What an old slim-slam that giving the people pleasure is ’ Her real ambition is, of course, to charge the people three dollars for tickets. A—— If ypu cannot Interest people, at least do not bore them: you can accomplish that Probably people generally suffer most from being more bored. ‘« Ton come to a conclusion you know a good mkny others will not accept . . . . How rfiiich are you willing to concede to avoid a disagreeable, useless row and argument? . . . Ton are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to demand that others give up their opinion, and accept yours. ♦ ' Very few people seem to really think. They use only the instinct er cunning a wolf has in seeking a mate, or in avoiding a trap. . . . There Is a great noise going on la the world, but about as much of it on one aide as another: the truth may be got at only by considering the silent testimony which few use.

Are you taking care of your family affairs reaaonably well? Do you devote sufficient time to your job? Many Good Fellows are a nuisance in their communities: we have too many of them everywhere. A Good Fellow nearly always has extravagant habits; nearly always unreliable in money matters ; rarely the best and most dependable w orkmtn in the shop where he ts employed. —• I read the other day of a Japanese philosopher saving; “A judicious selection of one’s parents !a the first important step in life.” . . . Just what does the saying mean, if anything? What was the idea in saying It? Since one cannot possibly select Ids ancestors, how helpful ts the suggestion? . . This philosopher might as well not haw written at all, for he has not suggested anything by which one may benefit. His saying has a sort of grewsothe interest: all of mi have charges to make against our ancestors, but It’s not nice to give expression to them; nor does It do any food—""'f- ' If you de not know your wttb and children and your more intimate acquaintance* are tired of your “stories." from having heard them aa often, yon are a slow observer. . . .

SUGGESTIONS TO AVOIDJCCIDENTS Seasoned Drivers Fail to Make Allowance for Faults of Novice. As a result of several recent investigations into accident causes in which It was shown that collisions often result from the inability of seasoned drivers to make allowapces for the shortcomings of beginners, the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club has outlined for motorists some suggestions as to safeguarding car users through better understanding between drivers. Special Recommendations. The recommendations of especial Importance are as follows: “Whenever a driver seems to be isurping the right of way at an intersection when he is not entitled to So so it is .safer to assume that he is nexjterlenced and not willfully disrespectful of law and order. Too nany motorists seek to ‘teach others i lesson’ at the 'wrong time, and the Inevitable result Is an accident ‘The proper time to teach the new Iriver the rules of the game is before he has to apply them. The experienced driver who lends the beginner into believing that the only say to learn to drive is>s enter heavy Tafllc and ’sink or swirijj’ is only encouraging the worst form of recklessiesa. Willfully Reckless Driver. “The willfully reckless driver may rhange his mind at the last moment and avoid trouble simply because he trfves well enough to know how to Mold It hut the inexperienced driver las no such advantage. “There will be about i .000.000 new Stivers this year If car sales continue at the present rate. Although •kill tn operation of the car is an lasler matter to acquire by reason •f the great improvement In controls, n-afllc conditions are more complicated ■han at any time tn the history of the lutoinoblle and knowledge of rules of Iriviug and courtesy has never been uore Important. In view of present renditions the experienced motorist tannot afford to mistake ordinary insxperience for willful recklessness.” Proper Tire Equipment for the Vacation Trip The motorist who starts on a vacation trip without proper tire equipnent is likely to find that he has >een penny wise and pound foolish. Nothing m» quickly ruins the pleasure »f a vacation trip as tire trouble. Repairing tires out in a broiling sun is anything but fun. and. 'besides this, t causes delay which many times uplets schedules and definite plans. If a motorist has to purchase tires it some mountain or canyon resort be usually finds that freight and extra profit have been tacked on, so that the price is extremely high. - By carrying two or three spare fires, depending, of course, upon the length of the trip, the vacationist is prepared In esse of punctures or blowouts to quickly change and preteed on his way. The safest course »f all is to put the new tires on the wheels and use the old tires as spare*. There Is much less likelihood »f puncture in a fresh new casing than there is in a thin, worn tire. Tube Vulcanizing It often happens that In vul canting a tube, particularly In the open sir. the rubber Is burned. This may be obviated by making a collar about four Inches high to fit around the vulcanizer, using several thicknesses of ordinary wire mosquito netting, fastened together with a couple of rivets of wire run through. This should be placed over the vulcanizer lust before lighting the gasoline.

The lncrea*ed use of busses la this country is causing a noticeable jump tn annual gasoline consumption. One bus in constant operation consumes from tea to twenty times a* much gasoline a year as the average passenger car. The 70,000 busses In operation in the United States last year used 271,000,000 gallons of gasoline, e supply sufficient for 700,000 pleasure cars. The busM* covered a total distance of 1,900.000.000 miles and the gasoline consumption for each vehicle has been estimated at from <OOO to gallons. The rapid expansion of bus line* is expected *» NB* • craalar increase tn gasoline consumption during this year.

Constant Driving b. Keep Car in Good Trim T don’t believe I can drive that far In a day,” says the typical motorist, contemplating a 300-mile jump “I’m not In trim." And yet this same motorist will expect his car to take him any distance any time regardless of whethei it ts in trim. The car that ts going day and night always is ready for the long trip, ot the hard trip, because it has to be In good condition to stand the daily grind. The car that is never really ready Is the one that stands in th< garage all week. It may have a .water leak, or its carburetor may not b« adjusted for the change in the weather. Cars are like their drivers In a great many respects, and the matter of being in trim Is one of them. Exercise is vitally essential to good service from a car. This is clearly demonstrated when a car has been in storage for a long period. Everything is stiff when the car starts. Things do not work at their best Tires are low. springs are rusty, even the stale gas In the tank makes the engine loggy. The car that Is In trim never acts this way. It Is always ready, always capable of meeting the demands.

By folding it as shown in the detail, and holding the edges together firmly water can easily be carried in it apd poured through the radiator opening.—Joseph A. Moffitt, Phoenix, Arix, in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Accidents Prevented by Proper Control of Horn The inexperienced “Sunday driver” type of motorist thinks the only thing the horn is for is to play a never-end-ing concert in the ears of pedestrians. Horn control is a fine art and its proper use can prevent accidents. Excessive use of the horn Indicates a novice driver, but its proper use shows the veteran. The novice relies upon his born to keep others out of danger. The veteran relies upon his control of the car. He slows down for people crossing the streets, fie doesn't toot his horn and force them to jump. The novice has to rely upon his noise maker because in nine cases out of ten he is outdriving his brakes. Watch the novice as he approaches a corner. He doesn’t slow down, figuring another car may be coming at the rate of 25 feet a second. No. no —nothing like, that He starts “squawking” *25 feet from the corner depending upon his noise to get him through. The veteran driver slows down and uses the horn less in all instance*. A really good driver can do without a horn in most instances. Ths novice seems to feel he could do better with a steam calliope.

Filipinos Hold Firmly to Belief in Witches Witchery still continues as a source of trouble in the Philippines and hardly a week passes that the constabulary does not investigate the beating or killing of some person suspected of being a witch. The Filipino witch, as Charles F. Freeman in the New York Tribune explains, is thought to possess the power to take on the shape of a beast at will and to work evil at a long distance. According to the strength of his magic he can cause a selected victim to become seriously 111 or to die. and a credulous native, suffering from some malady which he does not understand, believes he has been bewitched. Sometimes a witch doctor, exasperated by bad luck, will designate a man or woman as being the guilty “tnankukulam.” and the innocent suspect falls a victim to mob violence. For bloated feeling and dt*tres»ed breathing due to Indigestion yo« need a medicine a* well as a purgative. Wright’* Indian Vegetable Plila are both. Adv. Finish of Trick Left Parrot Still Carious A sailor, home from a voyage, went, accompanied by his parrot, to a local music hall. A conjurer came on. “That’s a good trick,” said the sailor; “I wonder what he’ll do next.” The conjurer did even better. “That’s a good trick,” said the sailor; “I wonder what he’ll do next." The conjurer did his masterpiece. “That's an excellent trick.” said the sailor; “I wonder what he’ll do next.” As he spoke he lit his pipe and threw the match through a side door, where it ignited a pile of explosives. ... When the smoke had cleared away, theater, sailor, audience—all had vanished. Three miles off on a church spire, featherless and blackened, sat the parrot, saying, “That’s an excellent trick! I wonder what he'll do next” Fresh, sweet, white, dainty clothes for baby, if you use Russ Bleaching Blue. Never streaks or injures them.
