We well remember in our childhood
how rich any one had to be, and how
extravagant he was considered, even
though he were rich, to possess a fine
carriage and span of horses. But now
behold! three to five thousand dollar
automobiles are never out of sight.
and their monotonous ''honk! honk, ,
is never out Of hearing, in these days
of marvellous progress and prospect
ty.n Justsone of these big, red devil,
six cylinder" automobiles now costs as
much as four or i've fine carriages and
spans of bays did in the good, old
days of our boyhoed. Go where you
may, in country or town, these great
three to six thousand dollar machines
have the right of way, showing that
farmers and merchants and bankers
aud tradesmen are all alike able to
plank down the chink," or that they
are riding at the expense of somebody
else. We have it from the best author
lby btluI q iot &c pei IShD " SAN9S %
travagant machines are circulating on
the st me payment" plan, and that the
day of judgment for manufacturers,
agents and people is looming like a
spectre on the horizon of the future.
We surely rejoice in the prosperity,
convenience, and even luxury of Others
but this one thing we know right well
we are living powerful fast" and
an age of fast living never stops to
count the cost, until the cost compels
reckoning, and fetches things mp
with jolt that jostles all the loose
bolts out OF bogus prosperity. We
may as well close this homiIy with the
further reflection that automobiles are
not the only things that tempt weak,
ambitious people to live beyond their
means and thus bring humiliation and
disaster upon themselves and the VIC

another touchdown. Chef Van Roo
making the final plunge through
taclsel. Three minutes before time was
up for the first half, Chef Van Roo was
again pushed across for a touchdown,
but missed the goal, making the score
at the end of the first half Il to 0. Dur
ing the second half the ball was kept
in West Allis' territory, they being
forced to punt the ball out of danger
several times. Coach Waugh instruct
ed the local team not to use any of
their trick plays during the second
half, as he did not wish to expose them
to scouts from the city high schools.
This made the last half an exhibition
of line plunges and straight football.
The teams being about evenly matched
in weight neither side scored. Captain
White carried off the stellar honors for
Wauwatosa, repeatedly dashing
around the erds for brilliant runs and
making big gains through tackle.
Phillips the star tackle did much in
making these runs possible tea, ing big
holes in West Allis' line, and on the
defense spelling number of their
plays. The team has improved greatly
in the last few weeks and the boys are
putting up an exceptionally good arti-
Gle of football.
Next Saturday the team goes to Pc
waukee, where they play the High
School team of that city.

1t should be known by everybody in
these days of gasoline lamps and stoves
that gasoline will not explode until its
fumes have been mixed with at least
six parts of atmospheric air. Gasoline
will catch fire as quickly as any liquid
known, but let it alone and it will burn
out, doing no damage and leaving no
scar or sign of fire. Mixed with air in
the proportions mentioned it is far
more dangerous than dynamite. No
receptacle of this liquid should ever be
left uneorlled for to do so is to make
the room where it is kept far worse
than powder magazine. This mat
ter of safely handling gasoline is very
easy, and no one should be ignorant of
how it is done.

BAR HARBOR AUTO CASE
Argued Before the Law Court in SEES
sion at Bangor.

Bangor, Me, June 3.-The Bar Har-
Dor automobile test case was argued
Wednesday before the full bench of
the Maine law court. The action is an
appeal from the Bar Harbor municipal
court in the case of S. II. Mayo of
Southwest Harbor, who drove motor
car in the streets of Bar Harbor, con-
trary to an ordinance of the town of
Eden, in which the village of Bar Har-
Dor is located.
This ordinance was adopted by the
voters of the town after an enabling
act was passed by the Legislature in
1908. There is no controversy as to the
facts. The law court is asked to pass
upon the constitutionality of such a
measure and the ultimate decision is
a matter of great importance, as it
will decide whether any municipality
in the State may exclude automobiles
from its highways.
County Attorney Conary of Hancock
county appeared for the State and H.
l.. Graham of Bar Harbor for the de-
fence. Mr.. Conary cited authorities.
including one from the supreme court
of Illinois and one from the supreme
court of Massachusetts, these courts
having decided that the State has pow
er to exclude automobiles from any
street or road, or may authorize mu-
nicipality to do SO. Counsel for the de-
fence argued that while the State may
make reasonable regulations it cannot
make unreasonable ones, and that the
act authorizing the town of Eden to
exclude autos is unreasonable. Mr..
Graham cited authorities to sustain
his general contention.

How I: to Treat al
Dandruff

supple. Many people are now
using Birt's Head Wash,
which differs radically from
ordinary soap. Birt's Head
Wash, first of all, goes right
down to the bottom Of the
dandruff and scales, and puts
the scalp in fine condition. 1t
leaves the hair with a silky,
glossy, lustrous sheen, but
never dry and harsh. This is
because of the small quantity
of free Cocoanut Oil it con
tains, which takes the place
of the natural oil supplied by
Nature. You can safely throw
away all your hair tonics, re-
newers, growers, and what
not, and use Birt's Head
Wash two or three times a
week for month. Then you
will come to realize what it
means to have a healthy scalp
and beautiful hair. Birt's
Head Wash contains the fol-
lowing ingredients: Refined
Soap, Glycerin. White of
Eggs, Cochin Cocoanut Oh
and Salicylic Acid. Price soc.
