work at home. You're entitled to
something, ndoubtedly, besides
clothes and food. can't tell how
much. 1 think you really want'to
ask me how to get amy salary at
all. l would advise you to strike.

working at home. But if were
you, I'd. get interested in some
thing outsied the home, church
work, charity work, or something
like that. I'd gradually drop a
little of the work about the house.
Then I'd explain to the men folks
that they are expecting too much
from both you and your mother.
Perhaps they thoughtlessly> spend
money which, II the case were
properly shown to them, they
might turn over to you and your
mother for your own personal fisel
I'd show a little streak of fnde7

1t is best to sew on hooks and
eyes with a buttonhp1e stitch.
The first stitch wild hold them in
place firmly and they will not
come loose as readily as when
sewn in the usual manner.
Always see that such vegetables
as carrots and potatoes are crisp
when buying them.
A little melted paraffin poured
round the eorks of home made
pickle jars will prevent air from
entering between the cork and the
glass, and will keep getchups fresh
and free from mold.
In the spring of the year, when
boiling old potatoes, if one or two
tablespoonfuls of sweet milk is
added when potatoes are drained
they will not discolor.

DRIVER ON NEWEST MODELS
REGIMES AT STEERING POST
Rapid Evolution from Crude, High
Clearance Cars with Perpendicu-
lar Posts Is Interesting

In the early days of the motor
car industry" said Sales Manager f.
A. Davis Of the Jackson Automobile
company of Jackson, Mich, the
steering column stood perpendicular
and the driver had TO lean somehow
forward to keep his car in control
This was the day of the higher clear
ance and cruder models, As the years
went by the clearance became less and
the main aim was To swing the body
OF the car as close to the ground as
was consistent with safely.
THE Wheelbase also increased as
the body came nearer to the ground,
giving the motor car the appearance
of a swift moving express train, with
this popularity the steering column
gradually but surely became more in
clined and this became not a fad but
certainty, as it put the driver more
in control of his car.
This year the very last word is
the sassy looking gunboat or torpedo
models in which the driver is not sit
ting but reclining with the steering
post, on such slant that his body is in
A kind of a pit with the body beneath
the post The steering column has
been dropped as far as it would go
it seems, and the bolt upright position
of the early days has been supplanted
by the reclining position

PORTABLE BRIDGE
TOAD MOTORISTS
LOCAL INVENTOR SEEKS PAT
ENT ON CONTINUANCE
ColIapslble Iron Network Can Be Car
ried on Running Board of
Machine and Used to
Span Gaps

Portable telescope motor car bridges
will be the next important addition to
the equipment of an up-tO-date car
If the patent OF a local inventor gets
the financial support for their general
manufacture.
Encouraged by the recent success of
the Good Roads club I'm connection
with local motor car enthusiasts in
placing skeleton channel iron bridges
over several bad gaps and gullies on
the road to San Diego, a local machin-
ist and iron worker has completed a
working model Of a very clever porta-
bic channel iron bridge that when ex-
tended will span a thirty-foot stream
or Chasm and he held in place by
crossed steel cables. and the rails held
apart by iron rods or steel tubing
When collapsed it may he attached or
secured to the running board of the
car.
The bridge when extended is slight
ly convex, and is capable OF sustaining
weight Of 1000 pounds When it is
used two hooked stake pins are driven
into the ground and fastened over the
connecting rod, and is then thrown
across the space to be bridged and Sc
cured in similar manner at the 9TH
er end. The channel is of sufficient
width to permit of the widest tire
tread, ana there is no danger of slip
ping Off and an ordinary fve-passen-
ger touring car with occupants can
pass over in safety.
The. same construction will he ap-
piled 10 longer and heavier bridges
with "a view 10 supplying auto clubs
ana county supervisors who desire To
maintain permanent bridges at any
point. 1t has been demonstra ted that
these sectional bridges. with their re-
lntorced clamps and bolts, will with
stand weight better than a rigid
frame and at the same time are much
easier 10 handle, for, if necessary the
bridge can be heightened or shortened
at viii.
As soon as the invention is protected
by patent the maker intends to give
some practical demonstrations for the
general public, such a device will no
doubt meet with popular approval and
VIII have solved some of the troubles a
motorist finds himself up against when
travelling through new country
Where bridges are few or too poorly
constructed to allow passage Of an au-
tomobile, or where bridges have been
washed out or portions of a road
caved in.
The total weight OF "A thirty-foot
bridge viii not exceed $50 pounds and
can be divided and so placed on both
running boards not to overbaI-
ance the car, and can be assembled i'm
from ten to fifteen minutes. Iron and
NOT steel will be used. obviatfng all
danger OF swapping, and the cables
viii prevent saggiug.
