dredger has thrown the sand along the levee.
Mrs. MorFell writes: .'Once you up the
hill it is all right, but enterprising farmer
invariably comes TO the rescue of the unfor-
tunate automobilist with spanking pair or
horses and pulls him cd this little hill for a
distance of about 100 feet and then takes toll
to the amount Of $3.50. This month he has
been doing quite a business l think he has
paid for the team out of the profits. The other
alternative would be TO go to Sacramento via
Stockton or by way of Marysville 1t is just
as well to let automohilists know what Is IN
store for them when they go by the way OF
Woodland. This distance from Woodland via
Grafton and Elkhern is about 10 miles, whereas
by the way of Marysville it is about 80 miles.
it is cheaper TO go by Elkhorn and pay the
toll if you have not the time to go by the way
of Marysville. as the roads are not very good. /"
The party reports that the toll road from Mid
dletown to Calstoga is now open 10 automobl-
ists but the old road through Butte canyon and
over Mount Howell 10 St Helena is one OF the
grsndest sights that one can imagine.

STANDARD AUTO
TIRE RIM ADOPTED
Association OF Licensed Auto
mobile Manufacturers Takes
Important Action
Selects Quick Detachable That
Will Answer as Well for
a CIincher Tire
By r. R. PHommedieu

At the last meeting of the associa-
ton of licensed automobile manufac-
turers the recommendation of the rim
and tire committee that a quick de-
tachable rim be adopted was accepted
The mechanical branch of the licensed
association has been working on the
rim situation for the last year, and has
felt the need. both for the individual
users and automobile manufacturers, or
a standard quick detachable rim which
would take both a clincher and quick
detachable shoe of any make, thus
minimizing the existing Inconvenience
of having to have a shoe of one make
TO fit a given rim. After experiment.
ing with all the quick detachable rims,
cooperation with the tire and rim
makers resulted in the adoption OF this
rim, which will be known as the Stand
ard universal quick detachable, and is
the result Of hard and persistent ef-
forts on the part of the tire and rim
makers to get something which would
be adopted by all manufacturers, both
in and Que of the association. This rim
is the same rim which was discussed at
the meeting of the national association.
and which was pronounced satisfactory
by members of that association.
NJ j. Budlong and r. d. Chaplin were
appointed additional members of the
tire and rim committee. A report from
the snow committee was uldde, Will

A Sailors Christenind.

"The late Bishop Potter once in his early days had occasion to officiate at a christening in a small fishing village on the Massachusetts coast" says a writer in the current issue of Harper's Weekly. The proud father, a young fisherman, awkwardly holding his first born daughter, was visibly embarrassr ed under the scrutiny of the many eyes in the congregation. and his nervous ness was not decreased by the sudden wailing of the infant as they stood at the font
 When the time for the baptism of the babe arrived the bishop noticed that the father was holding the child so that its fat little legs pointed toward the font.
 Turn her this way he whispered. but the father was too discOncerted to hear or understand.
 Turn her feet around the bishop whispered again; but still there was no response The situation was fast becoming critical, when an ancient ma riner in the back of the church came to the rescue. Putting his weather beaten hand to his mouth he roared across the room, Head her up to the wind, Jack"

ARE the Dead AIiue2

In the October Delineator starts a remarkable account of what has been done to date by various scientists working in various countries to unrav- el the mystery of life as it is revealed to us by the agency of death Do the dead really live? You are confronted by a subtle question here. Strange things are happening-no doubt have been happening these thousands of years, but only now man is beginning to get a faint understanding of what they mean. Telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudence, trance and spirit writing, dual personality, possession, deviation. materialization-thes are strange and new terms to which is being added, an even stranger and newer significance
 Waare living in a time when brick and stone are not near as solid and impenetrable as they used to be, and space is not nearly so empty. The clouds are hardly more evanescent than we, and our houses and the things which we consider so solid and durable are as shadows only All the world is awakening to the idea that force is the great thing-a strange great ocean of unknown force, which storms and rages about us. And man, on his little planet, is like a sailor in a little boat, ora bird in the ocean of the air Whither comes he? Where does he go?
 Scientists are asking this question, but not in the old way. Now they watch and weigh and prepare tests and set traps in a subtle effort to sur prise the Great Artificer al His work and to make Him reveal how it is done That it is for which they are striving That it is for which you and. are waiting their reports. We want to know how it is done.
 Have patience. The world is acutely interested in this problem now. and will find out-not everything, not ex- actly how it is done, but something more than We now know. The world is at work, and we shall know-not as the old phrase has it, what we shall know" but a great deal more than we have ever dreamed of in our phil osophy-and that ere long.
