AUTOISTS JOIN
STATE ASSOCIATION

Local automobile owners are begin
ming to take considerable interest in
the state organization and during the
past few days number have become
rmembers Of the Oregon State Auto
mobile Association. The principal
object of this society, of which Capt.
Charles p. McCan is the vice presi-
dent for Hood River county, is to do
all in its power to further the good
roads movement. Among the new
members are j. Il. Nunamaker, G. Y.
Ewdards, c. +. Gilbert, Leslie Butler,
W. T. Sheldon, j. ii. Heilbronner,
Devln q Firebaugh, c. II. Bone,
Charles Hall, and p. S. Davidson.
The requirements for membership
are to own an automobile, pay a nom
inal entrance fee, dues of so cents a
month and work in the interests of
good roads.
There had been some talk of ha3ing
road signs in the Hood River valley,
but Capt. McCan says that he will
endcavor to have all the money which
the auto people can raise expended
on good roads, where il is most needed
Until there is an automobile road from
Portland to Hood River there will not
be many strange drivers in the valley
who will need the guidance of signs,
which will necessarily be expensive
to be in keeping with the Hood River
valley setting, and it is the general
belief that the big effort should be
made for a road from Portland and
then the signs will come. Another
point is that rather than have the
county court provide signs, it would
be better for the county to spend all
it money in improving the county
roads as there is no point to having a
road sign to a mudhole. One Of the
real values of good roads which auto
mobile owners will appreciate is that
fact Hood River tire dealers viii be
able to get tire guarantees from the
manufacturers when it is known that
the roads are improved Already with
only the few miles of fine macadam
roads which have been built during

ARTIST DRAWS FAMILY
INCLUDING AUTO

When Artist Outcaut draws the
Buster Brown pictures, he really
draw his son, who is now l9 years old,
as the hero and Mary Jane is a repre-
sentation of his daughter These
IDEAS came to him a number of years
ago when his children were nearer the
ages of the characters in the comic
pictures, but they continue to attract
attention and whenever the artist
brings something new into the picture,
he does not 60 outside the family for it
if he can help. So it is that when
he needs an automobile to help work
up to his resolution, he draws in the
pictures representation of a big
Lozier Six, which is his own car.

IIay CrOp Getting Attention.

While Hood River has not yet reached
the point where it exports hay, that
crop is becoming quite large as well
as profitable part of the valleys pro-
ducts. Many of the fruit growers
have small plots on which they can
raise their own hay, but most of them
have to depend upon others to raise
their horse feed. The increase in the
hay crop has caused a corresponding
increase in the number of bailing
outfits to handle the hay. Blowers
Bros. ,Ehave recently sold two South
wick hay presses to ranchers who are
operating them in the valley. One
of the presses was purchased by G. G.
Walton and Paul Aubert, of the upper
valley, and the other by 0rson Fl.

FALLING BODIES.
Their Velocity Varies According to the
Force of Gravity.

Their Velocity Varies According to the
Force of Gravity.
A man falling from q three story
building in New Orleans will not fall
as fast as he would If he were in New
York city. In fact, in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This is because as we 60 to-
ward the equator the force of gravity
gets less and less and consequently
the acceleration of falling body be-
comes less, and the force of impact is
therefore less.
While it does not make very much
difference in the injury to a person
falling from height, 1t does make a
difference in other things, Take ride
and fire it exactly horizontally, and If
the gun is sixteen feet above the
ground, say, at New York the bullet
fred from such rifle will strike the
ground in exactly one second after 1t
leaves the rife. If the bullet has a
horizontal velocity Of 1000 feet per
second it will strike the earth exactly
1000 feet away. Let us take the same
rife to a place where the force Of
gravity is not the same as at New
York, but good deal smaller. say
two-thirds smaller. We find that If
the gun is placed sixteen feet above
the ground, as before, and absolutely
horizontal the bullet will not fall the
sixteen feet in one second, but will
take over one and half seconds to
fall, thus enabling the bullet to be in
the air during that length Of time.
Therefore it will strike the ground
about 1,G00 feet away. Thus it is seen
that the range of rifle is increased
as 1t is taken toward the equator.
OF course there is no place on the
earth where the force of gravity Is
two-thirds smaller than at New York,
but there are many places where the
difference is considerable enough to
affect slightly the range Of rhes.-Har-
per's Weekly.

WORRY DOES KILL.
IL Slowly but Surely Destroys the Collie
of the Brain.

Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting
than that worry will kill. More re-
markable still, it has been able to de-
termine just how worry does kill
1t is believed by many scientists
who have followed carefully the
growth of the science Of brain dis
eases that scores of the deaths set
down to their causes are due to worry
and that alone. The theory is a sim
pie one, so simple that any one can
readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Wor-
ry Injuries beyond repair certain cells
of the brain, and, the brain being the
nutrltive center of the body, the other
organs become gradually injured, and
when some diseases of these organs or
q combination of them arises death
finally ensues.
Thus worry kills. InsidioEsly, like
many other diseases, it creeps upon
the brain in the form Of single, con-
stant, never lost idea, and as a drop
ping of water over period of years
will wear a groove in the stone, so
does worry gradually, imperceptibly
and no less surely destroy the brain
cells that lead NIL the rest, which are,
so to speak, the commanding officers
of mental power, health and motion,
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm if
1t comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worriment the brain can
cope with, but the iteration and the
reiteration of one idea of a dlsquiet-
ing sort the cells of the brain are not
proof against.
1t is as if the skull were laid bare
and the surface of the brain struck
lightly with hammer every few sec
onds with mechanical precision, with
never sign of a stop or the failure
of stroke. Just in this way does the
annoying idea, the maddening thought
that will not be done away with strike
or fall upon certain nerve cells, never
ceasing diminishing the vitality Of the
delicate organisms that are so minute
that they can be seen only under the
microscope.-Journal of Physiological
Therapeutics.

The Scales on the Hair.

If you look at a human hair under
the microscope you will find that its
surface is formed Of successive over
tapping scales. The bristles Of the hog
bear much resemblance to the human
hair, though their diameter is greater
and the tilelike scales are much finer.
Sleeps hair has much coarser scales.
1t is owing to the existence Of these
scales that one is able by peculiar
process to tell which is the tip and
which the other end of a hair rolling
it between his finger and thumb. Thus
manipulated the hair always travels
in the direction of the base because
the edges of the scales prevent 1t from

FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
Tiger and Crocodile In a Battle In tho

Tiger and Crocodile In a Battle In tho
Water.
In India native went to bathe in a
ravine. He was iu the water up to
his neck when tiger on the hill
above gave leap toward its prey.
But the tiger had not calculated that,
since his victim was ruch lower than
himself, leap of the right strength
for a horizontal range would carry
him far beyond his mark; consequent
ly he fell some ten feet on the other
side
Now, 1t happened that n hungry croc-
odile was at the same time drawing a
bee line under water toward the ma
tive. When the crocodile had almost
come upon his prey he heard a splash
just in front and made dash, bring
ing his enormous jaws down On the
tigers paw.
The bather nearly tainted with
fright when he saw the tiger fall into
the water, and for few moments he
could not understand why the crea
ture did not devour him. Why did he
persist in keeping one Of his paws un-
der water, beating savagely with the
other? And the water turned red!
Then all at once the assaults Of the
tiger became more furious, and his
growls developed into roars. The huge
tail of crocodile reared up out Of
the water The obvious intention was
TO pull the tiger under water and
drown him, and the tiger, understand
Ing this purpose, tried to frustrate 1t
by beating the snout of the crocodile
with his other paw, But the snout
was too far down, and he left much
Of his force on the surface of the wa
ter. His struggles became more and
more feeble, and at length he disap-
peared altogether, only cluster of
bubbles remaining to show where he
had been.
His fight, however, had been a game
one, not entirely In vain, for when
the bodies of the two beasts finally
came to the surface it was seen that
the tiger had literally torn away the
whole front of the crocodile's face and
had blinded it so that its victory was
a useless one.--Chicago Record Herald.
