RULES AND REGULATIONS
Regarding the Driving of Automo-
biles and Other Vehicles Along
the Public Highways.

In view of the fact that so many au-
tomobiles are now owned in and about
Yale, it is fitting that people who drive
them, as well as those who drive horses
on the highways, become acquainted
with the laws pertaining to these vehi-
cles and the road. One who drives an
auto R often led to imagine that the
average man who drives horse abso-
lutely hates the sight of him and his
machine, at least the actions of the
hOrseman will only too often warrant
that conclusion. How often will the
autost come up behind man, driving
team and big wagon on road not
any too wide, who stolidly refuses to
notice the "honk" or request to be al
lowed To pass. The autoist has to wait
until the road permits an opportunity
to pass and then he hurries by before
the road hog" can get in front of him
and crowd him into the ditch. The
man who does this may be fined $1,000
and costs If the autolst cares TO make
complaint. The law is, that when an
auto comes up behind you and by word
or signal requests to pass, you shall at
once drive either TO the left or right
hand side of the travelled portion of the
highway and give the auto room to
pass. In meeting an auto the same
rule should be observed as when two
teams pass each other. In crossing in
tersecting streets or highways, the auto
should keep to the right hand side of
the road and if it intends to turn up or
down the intersecting street, the fol
lowing must be strictly observed in
order to obey the law and be exempt
from claim of damages. If turning TO
the right, turn the auto before you
reach the middle or center of the street,
keeping as close as may be TO the right
hand curb or roadside. If turning to
the left, you come down the right hand
side of the original street, pass beyond
the center of the intersecting street and
then turn to the left. Another auto or
rig may be coming down the opposite
side of the street and although you may
not see each other, there is no danger
of your colliding if you both obey the
law.
In passing and meeting teams on the
highway, the autOist must use due care
not to frighten horses and upon the
person, who has a horse that frightens
raises his hand or giving other evidence
that his horse may become unmanage-
able, that autoist shall bring his ma
chine to full stop, and if it be neces-
sary he shall render such assistance,
providing he is over sixteen years of
age, as he can to prevent an accident.
To sum the whole matter up, wheth-
er you drive a horse or an auto, just
use all of the good horse sense you may
have, remembering that the other fell
low has just as much rights on the road
as you have. Don't be mean or over
bearing just because you happen to
know how, but treat every one just as
you would have him treat you and it is
very little trouble you will have or
make any one else.

CHAPTER XXlll.-Continued.

The German emperor, true to his
promise, was the first to give official
ratification to the message, and added
thereto his earnest entreaty that all
powers might speedily join. He Of
fered an eloquent argument in its be-
half, fortified by his own observations
and reviewed the reasons why Ger
many had previously declined disarm
ament in conferences at The Hague
His attitude was that of impartiality
and no mention was made of the
mooted questions between Great Brit
ain and his own country, which were
later adjusted satisfactorily through
the commission, and passed into his
tory as the first dispute which that
body was called upon to arbitrate.
There followed a brief lapse of days,
In which the other nations of the

epoch which was uprooting existing

In any international war, however,
made it patent that the wisest course
would be in graceful acceptance.
Hence it was that all the principal
governments bound themselves in the
compact. The last page had been
written in the voIuminous history of
strife. The kissing of the barb, the
retching of the catapult, the clangor
Of sword and buckler, and the booming
OF cannon, which in the course of time
had succeeded each other, were sounds

Peace had at last assumed its tranquil
dominion.
When the last acceptance from the
most laggardly nation was received
the news was made known to the
silent man in the White House. 1t

How much individual credit belongs
to Maria ParlOa tor the Improvement
which has taken place in American
home cooking within the last quarter
of a century it is difficult to say. But
that she was one of the foremost of
the advocates Of a saner diet and that
she contributed materially to a Gu
hnary reform of which the present
generation is enjoying the benefit adj
mlts of no question. Miss Parloa was
one of the first to apply scientific meth
DDS to cooking and to inStill the prin-
clples Of domestic economy in Amer
lean homes. Through her books and
lectures she carried on a propaganda
for sound digestion which made her
name household word. Bad cooking

doubtedly not so prevalent The fry

Much feeling has been introduced

London Tit-Bits. The gentleman who
engenders much of this controversy
was formerly on the council and was
mainly instrumental in inducing his
colleagues to spend huge sums OF
money in the erection of two large
but badly constructed piers. At a
meeting the other night one of his
opponents had permission to propose
an amendment, and after virulently
abusing the candidate exclaimed: T

CROPS AND COST OF LIVING.

Predictions of cheaper living, based
upon ample crops, must be taken with
some caution. We are not confronted
by the problem of twodollar wheat,
which Mr.. Patten probably did not eX
pect when he was predicting it last
spring. His prediction served his
purpose admirably. Instead OF ship
ping wheat into Chicago and breaking
the May market-the sort of thing that
has broken nearly every predecessor
Of Mr.. Patterns bull" operatiOns-th
farmers held on to their wheat and
waited for that two,dollar quotation,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
harvest began less than a month after
the May option closed and We now
have every assurance that the wheat
crop will exceed 70O,000.O00 bushels,
and may reach 35,O0O,000 bushels.
Wheat is selling in Chicago for less
than a dollar. Food ought to be, and
probably will be, cheaper than it has
been lately. But cotton and wool are
high and textile prices show no dis
position to recede. Most of the prices
are rising. Structural steel is not
commodity that the average citizen
purchases, but he is affected by its
price; and all steel prices are up.
Hides are on the free list, but the
shoe stores and factories are stocked
up with goods purchased before the
repeal of the hide duty, and prices are
not yet coming down. The most i'm
portant item of expense is rent, and
with the growth of population that
tends upward, but the extensive build
ing operations all over the country
may keep abreast of the demand.
