AUTOS SHOULD GIVE WARNING.


1.-THE state attorney of Orleans county
has prosecuted a number of Newport
motor car drivers for neglecting to
whistle" at the intersection OF cross
streets in the village limits. Perhaps
the official was over jealous in requiring
this precaution where its observance
meant the steady squawk of auto horns
at all hours Of heavy traffic, but the
general principle is correct. The horn
should be sounded before rounding cur
yes, on approaching crossroads, every
where, in fact, where sudden appearance
of the car might create alarm or panic.
An automobile travelling at twenty
miles an hour covers fourteen feet in a
second and the warning given by the
horn is none too great. "-Rutland Herald.
1.-The question is asked, and fairly so
If it would not be the proper thing to
exclude automobiles from the lake road
on the west side Of the lake, at least be-
yond Ferncliff. The reason submitted is
because the road is SO narrow that in
many places teams cannot pass, and
another reason is prompted because OF
the nearness to an accident during the
past week when chauffeur failed to
recognize the beckonings of two ladies,
with the result that an accident was only
avoided when one of them jumped, and

day we dubbed a sea lion to death.
We had hard work until we found his
nose to be his vulnerable point.
AT last we had to make food of the

the powder of pounded bird bones,
but failed.

to change our camp, and swan around

The rest all made the passage in
safety. They found their new quarters
much better than the old, Food was
more plentiful and there was no
trouble about water
But new trouble was in store for
them. The place swarmed with ants
and mosquitoes. Sleep was almost
impossible. The men were covered
with sores. Their nerves were
wracked by loneliness and despair and
more than one showed symptoms of
mental arrangement. The mate in
charge of the boat party lost his mind
completely and for five weeks he had

One of the sailors, a German named
Schaffer irritated at a temporary
scarcity of food, started out on a fool

Southampton.-A story of suffering
at sea, followed by months OF privation
on lonely island, is told by survivors
of the Norwegian bark Alexander
Dubis, who were recently landed at
Southampton, England, and sent
thence to Christiania. The story is not
one of shipwreck; 1t is of disaster pro.
duced by a succession of Gains. The
region was the neighborhood of the
Galapagos islands, in the southern
Pacific ocean. and 1t was on one of the
smallest Of the islands that the men
were maroooned for nearly six months.
The story as told by one of the quar-,
termasters, man named Morrison,
goes back to the beginning of 1907,
when the bark fell into a series OF
protracted Gains, varied only by light
and adverse winds. These conditions
lasted for over three months, during
which her position varied little. Food
ran short, the fresh water became
foul and undrinkable. There seemed
to be no hope of getting into a wild
zone and still less of making port

heavy surf they were wrecked.
The landing brought disappointment
to the castaways. The island was baro
and barren. By splitting cactus leaves
and sucking the pulp the men cooled
their thirst.

pleasure as when the sap moistened
my lips" says Morrison.

of Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, who bore
the expenses of the undertaking, and
who has shown much interest in the
experiment being a frequent visitor to
the institution.
What led to the adoption of the
open-air ward was the successful out
come of an experiment which directly
preceded the permanent installation of
the ward.
"A portion of the roof" DR.. North
rup explained, was extemporized into
a roof garden for the benefit of the
sick children who were sent to the
hospital for treatment. A framework
of iron piping, covered with canvas
was made to lean-to, around the sides
of which canvas curtains were ad-
justed. The arrangement was crude,
but did good work in summer and
early fall. What was pronounced a
very coy place for a family picnic
party in September or October was by
the same persons denominated DESC
late in November and December.
However, 1t was airy. well summed, and
endurable. The children spent six
hours day there all winter, the en-.
tire ward being emptied out upon the
roof, while their ward below on the
| first floor was we'll blown out through
the wide-open windows.
What kind of cases were sent to
the roof? All cases. On many days
every case in the children's ward was
sent to the roof. Exceptionally, where

that the children on rainy days. after

REAL TRUTH ABOUT LAzINEss.
Mistake to Consider Il Sign Of Men
tai lnferiorlty.

Laziness is no sign Of mental inferi-

so-called inferior races before the
League for Political Education at New
York, and endeavored to show that
their inferiority was not yet proved.
1T is true they do not wish to

scribed It,"
1t Is only recently, DR.. Wright fur
Their remarked, that the white man
has been any different from the lower
races in the matter of work. Not so
long ago work was considered dis
graceful rather than meritorious, and
Europeans who attempted to found
colonies in the new world actually
died rather than scratch the ground
or do any of the fundamentally neces-
sary things of life.
I'VE have been in the habit Of
thinking that the lower races are not
even candidates for humanity said
