wave Of recklessness have been sec
onded by the other officers and chair
men of the various A. A. A. boards.
Many of the recent deplorable ac-
cidents might have been avoided by
the observance of the simple road
rules and sane driving" said Presi-
dent Speare. There is also too much
recklessness in crossing railroad and
surface car lines, as well as passing
electric cars in city streets, when pas
sengers are alighting. Again, many
motorists in descending hills, even If
not very long or steep ones. persist in
keeping practically the full power OF
their motor on. If more motori ts
would throttle down the engine, or t3-
tally disengage it while descending ~
hill, the number of accidents from
this source would be materially de-
creased. When the motorist sudden
finds himself in a tight place while
descending a hill under full power or
even partially so, and he loses control
of his car 1t is the most natural thin
in the world to attribute the difficult
to the failure of the steering gear Co
work properly, whereas, there would
probably have been no trouble at all
were the machine allowed to Goa
down gradually under its own mo
mentum."
Some of the ordinary rules of the
road which every motorist ought TO
know by heart and invariably observe
are:
First-Keep to the right when over
taken by a passing automobile o.
other vehicle going in the same di-
rection.
Second-Keep to the left when
about to pass another vehicle going in
the same direction; in other words.
the autorflobilist should pass another
vehicle going in the same direction.

and broad jumper and was managing
editor of the Potpourri, a student pub
lication. He is a candidate for the
freshman football team at Yale and
undoubtedly will make the varsity
team when he is eligible next year.
In Walter Smell of Brockton, Mass,
Yale gets a basketball player and a
great backstop. Smell will fit in nice
ly at the former sport, now that Van
Vlockie Is out, and as he is hitter.
he could be used to good advantage
behind the bat by the Eli nine. An
other ball player, who may make good,
is Herbert Bennett of Pawtucket, R. l.,
who is a second baseman, and has a
couple of years experience on the
academy team. He is fair fielder
and a good batter. Blakeslee, a New
Haven boy, will also be available for
this sport, and can also be used in
hockey and football, as he is proficient
In both sports. Added to these base
ball stars is Burdette, last years An
dover captain, making a formidable
array of young talent for the New
Haven college.
In football, Andover has sent out al
most an entire eleven for Yale to pick
a team from. Besides those mentioned,
there is Coates. a star scholastic end
who should make good; Pickett,
sturdy linesman, and Reilly VINO, be-
sides being a football player Is
clever pitcher BY playing one year
on the freshman team these men will
get the proper training for the varsity

of the college caliber they should
have no trouble making good.
In track material, Yale is the rich

miller; West, broad jumper, and
Burch and Pickett. sprinter and
weight -thrower, respectively. Nearly
all of the men are good at some form
of the track sport, and with the train
inc that Johnny Mack gives them, a
champion may be found among the lot.

CHEVROLET AND ONE
SET OF MICHELINS
NEW LONG DISTANCE WORLDS
STOCK CAR RECORD
Something About the Big, Smiling
Alsatian Now Known as One of
Worlds Most Noted
Drivers

When Louis Chevrolet drove a Buick
car over the Riverhead Mattituck cir
cult on Long Island N. Y, at an aV-
erage speed of seventy miles an hour,
he established a new worlds long dis
tance speed record and won easily In
his class. Chevrolet never stopped
during the entire contest, one set of
Michelin tires carrying him to his VIC
torious finish. He used antl-skld
tires on his rear wheels, as the course
was slippery during the first hour
due to three days of light rain that
preceded the day of the races. Anti
skid tires are covered on the tread
with oxhide in which steel studs are
imbedded, thus preventing skidding'
without destroying the necessary re-
siliency and aiding rather than i'm
peding high speed,
Chevrolet is heavy set, smiling
Alsatian. He came to this country
seven or eight years ago as an en-
ploye of the De Dion-Bouton Motor
ette company, which at that time was
building light DeDion cars in Brook
lyn. When the De Dion company went
cut of business, Chevrolet went back
to France and later returned with the
Italian Fiat people when the original
agency of Hollender & Tageman was
first opened in New York. Chevrolet
has now become one of the worlds
best known drivers. He drives with
his head as well as his hands and
wins because he deserves to win.
In the heavy stock car contest at
Riverhead, Ralph de Palma finished
first in his Fiat car, with Disbrow
second in a Rainier, and Lund, in an
ether Rainier, third. All were equipped
with Michelin tires. Only two Niche
Inns were changed throughout the en-
tire series of races, which included
five different classes and totaled 658
miles. These two changes were made
necessary by punctures caused by
horseshoe nails. There we're no blow
outs or other tire troubles.

were selected for the trial With the
ordinary methods of collection the
covering of this combined route takes
seven hours and twenty minutes for
two men and two horses, and with
the motor car a start was made at
the city hall at o'clock and at 7:40
o'clock. After the lapse of two hours
and forty minutes the collector had
returned to the postoffice for the last
time. The distance covered was ap-
proximately thirty-five miles, and a
stop was made at each of the $50
boxes.
This saving of four hours and
twenty-five minutes in the collection
of mail on the two routes was made
in a test conducted by H. ]. McKinnon,
city superintendent of carriers. He
believes after his experience with the
Franklin that the utilization of auto
mobiles for this work would revolu-
tionize the postal service of the
country.

Mushrooms.

There are several popular tests of the
edlbility of mushrooms which are not
at all reliable. The commonest of
these consists in putting silver spoon
or coin into the saucepan. 1t Is very
often believed that unless the metal
grows black the mushrooms may safe
ly be eaten. The test, however, is alb
solutely unreliable, the sole reason for
the blackening of the metal being the
presence OF sulphureous gases, the prod
uct of the decomposition in stale fungi
whether poisonous or not. Other be-
liefs, more or less local. assert that an
agreeable smell, a rlnged stem, growth
In open ground, etc, are sure indica-
tions of wholesomeness. but unfortu-
nately each of these conditions is con
sistent with possible danger to life. On
the other hand, 1t Is true that many
poisonous varieties have a very repul-
siVe smell, which of itself is sufficient
to warn the mushroom gatherer of his
peru. There seems to be only two
ways, after all, of distinguishing be-
tween harmful and harmless fungi.
The first is to study the subject from
the botanist's point of view. This is
not possible for the ordinary man, who
can always and everywhere rely upon
the experimental method II all else
fails. "Eat it," said the boy philoso-
pher. IF it's a mushroom it won't

That she had sent him away without
an answer was not q negative reply to
his wooing. She had begged for time
to think, a space i'll which to analyze
the emotions surging in her breast.
Moreover, she half thought she loved
him, and because she was product of

WHAT THREE ACRES WILL DO
An Illustration Of What May BE Ac-
eomplIshed In the Tropics on
Small Acreage,

Many readers of this paper will re-
call little book published several
years ago entitled Ten Acres
Enough" The book had large cir
cuation and being well and logically
written by practical market gard
ner, ii was the means of inducing a
large number of people TO abandon
city life and devote themselves to
way. Had the writer of The above
mentioned publication lived today and
visited that wonderfully fertile por-
ton OF the Mexican republic known
as its tropics" he would never have
written Ten Acres Enough" but
would have devoted his time and
skill as convincing writer to de-
scriptiou of one or the most bountl-
fully endowed and most prolific coun-
tries on the American continent, and
what could he done with but three
acres of its rich, alluvial soil His pen
would have found delight in depicting
conditions uudreamed of in northern
climates and he would have been the
pioneer of u large following of en-
tAusiasts, captivated by his descrip.
tions.
1t is difficult to keep within bounds
when depicting prevailing conditions
in tropical Mexico; one becomes SO
carried away with his subject that he
is liable to be regarded as an unre.
liable narrator by the increduous. II
is a fact however that a settler in
the Mexican tropics, or one who en-
cages in horticulture on plan OF
cooperation, without going to Mexico,
may become financially independent
with three acres of land planted in
bananas, in less than five years. And
another thing; he may secure free
holdings of land in the Isthmus OF

this region, if he will take advantage
of the offer now being extended by

of the Arrott Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
