rious injury in a carriage accident near

electric street car, coming at full speed
struck the vehicle before the prince
could turn out. The carriage was bad
ly wrecked, three wheels being torn
off.
Fortunately neither the queen nor the
prince was injured Had 1t not been
for the promptness of the motorman
In the car in shutting off the current
and jamming down the brakes, the
royal phaeton would have been smashed
into matchwood and the occupants
crushed to death.
AS 1T was the vehicle was thrown
against one OF the iron standards car
rying the electric wire, and was pin
ned between this post and the car. Had
the car run few feet further, the
carriage would have beel demolished.
The shock of the collision threw
Prince Henry from his seat but the
queen, with great presence of mind,
jumped from the phaeton and alighted
safely. She had seized the bride of
the rearing horse before the spectators
of the accident, thrown into state of
panic, had recovered sufficiently to rem

Timely Hints From Ford Motor Co.

Timely Hints From Ford Motor Co,
From time to time claims are made
by auioists that breaking or loosen

caused more or less damage to the
car, and such claims are bound to In

by inexperienced people increases.
As all autoists know. il does not
matter how carefully locked with
spring washers or cOtter pins, nuts
and bolts will work loose from time
to time. This is due to the vibration
and to the different strains to which
the car is subjected. Every nut and
bolt shonld be inspected regularly
say once every week; this refers most
particularly TO spring clip nuts, bolts
holding engine and transmission in
frame, universal joint bolts and nuts
and body bracket bolts. 1t is also ad.
visable when attending to this to ex.

hangers, spring perches, frame cross

Autoists Should go over their cars

cULaERsoN's IDEA.

Texas Senator Thinks the Financial
Need Is Not Currency, But Honesty
Washington, d, C.--After passing the
penal code bill the senate on Wednes
day, on motion of Senator Aldrlch, ad
vanced the emergency currency bill
to the position Of unfinished busines
which action has the effect of giving 1t
unquestloned right OF way
Speeches on the currency bill were
made by Senators Culberson, Demo
crat, of Texas, and Nelson, Republi-
can, Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Culberson outlined a number o.
amendments he will submit to the sen
ate, one providing that after Jan /
1903, every national bank shall keep OF
hand In its own vaults the reserve
lawful money required and repealn
the permission to keep part of tn
reserve in other national banks; alst
making 1t unlawful to deposit publi,
money in any national bank to b,
used directly or indirectly by the banks
in speculative dealings In stocks an.
bonds or to supply funds to any op
orator on the stock exchange to b,
used in dealings on such exchange AM
making 1t unlawful for national bank
to make demand or other loans or give
credit on their books to operators OIL
any stock exchange to be used in deal
ings on the exchange.
Mr.. Culberson then denounced the
pending currency bill.
Mr.. Culberson read newspaper re-
ports on conditions in New York city
when the Morgan pool" was formed tc
relieve the acute money stringency
there, and declared that 1t was STORY
of violated law and of business dis
honesty and immortality; of the per-
version Of banking and the subordina-
tion of the federal treasury to power
full private interests"
What was needed, he contended, was
not more currency, but honest and
legitimate banking unassoclated with
high finance
Senator Nelson's speech was an argu-
ment in support of his amendment pro-
viding for the guarantee OF deposits
in national banks, and he took occa-
sion to sharply criticize present bank
ing methods

New EnnIand,s Soil Fertile.


Boston, Mass.-That New England
may become as fertile an agricultural
district as any in the far west and
with proper treatment and cultivation
may become wholly self-supporting,
was the lesson which Rev. DR.. Fred
erick W. Hamilton, president of Tufts
college preached to the members of
the Citizens Trade association of Cam
bridge recently.
DR.. Hamilton's topic was "The Re-
habilitation of the Rural Districts of
New England" He called attention to
the statements which have been made
by the secretary of agriculture and by
the late Dean Shaler of the Lawrence
scientific school, that the soil of New
England was the most fertile in the
world and declared that its fertility
was of the inexhaustible character
which would endure when the wheat
fields of the west were exhausted. This
was because the soil rested upon a
foundation of solid granite.
DIR. Hamilton pleaded for a more
scientific study of agriculture He told
of the work which the university of
Minnesota is doing to teach practical
farming, and of the excellent results in
making that state the richest in the
world in it's agricultural products.
The Massachusetts agricultural col
lege, with its course in engineering and
In other topics connected but remote.
Iy with farming. has strayed far from
Its legitimate field, while other New
England agricultural colleges are even
worse offenders.
Numerous instances were cited of
what men trained in the science of
agriculture have done to reclaim New
England farms, and TO raise wheat,
fruit, potatoes. poultry and corn which
compare favorably with any in the
west

Don't allow your car to stand in the

you want to use it, but sunlight will
harden the tires and cause them to
lose their elasticity.
In initiating a tire lift the pump pis
ton clear TO the top OF the barrel and
press 1t all the way to the bottom: by
so doing YOU will save many unneces
sary strokes. II in pumping short
strokes are taken from the centre Of
the pump barrel much OF the pressure

whereas If fun strokes are given the
Iull pressure in the pump is forced into
the tire at each stroke.
Weak exhaust valve springs are
very frequently to blame for lost pow
err and especially loss of power by
slowing down Of the speed OF the
engine A weak spring allows the pis
ton to suck back some OF the exhaust
gases instead OF exerting its full sue
tlon on the intake from the carburet
ter and consequently a weak explo
sion Is obtained.
