important things a driver has to learn
is to keep his wits about him. If the
car skids begin to steer in the direction
of the slip This may be exactly con-
trary to your inclination, but 1t will tend
to restore the grip of the wheels on the
road, and as soon as this result Is at
tanned, you may begin carefully to steer
again In the direction you wish to follow.
The shortage in tires throughout the
country Is explained by dealers as due
to the unprecedented demand, which the
factory managers could not foresee, as it
was induced In large part by the ex-
cellent touring weather this spring The
factories prepared for normal increase

they have been unable to turn out tires

One Revolt Fails.

In Lower California there has been
a special and virtually separate re-
volt against the Diaz government. 1t
has been engineered and led by social
lists from California. Many of them
had lived long in that state and some
We're Americans by birth. though the
greater part were of Mexican origin.
They aimed 20 separate Lower Cali
fornia from Mexico and set up there
an independent state OF their own.
While they were glad to have the Mex
lean government kept busy with re-
volts in other sections they refused
10 admit the authority or leadership
Of Francisco Madero. Unlike the other
and much larger revolutionary move
ment in chihuahua and Sonora this
rising was not financed by the |ealth
Of the Madero family.
Now it has apparently gone 10

The ranks has been badly beaten and
virtually destroyed by much larger
force Of Mexican regulars and the be
lief Of Americans along the border is
that the revolt in Lower California is
practically ended. 1t was especially
Interesting, but it did not have enough
support TO make any serious impress
sion upon the Mexican governments
forces. II lacked numbers, from the
outset.
SO one more utopian enterprise has
ended in disaster AS fer the revolt

of Mexico, but at the

later On.
Smithson spoke Of the spring, the
green grass, the blue sky; the girl re-
marked upon the difference between
April and December. She could work
in December but not IN April, and
vet April was the month when the
world was awakening from its winter
torpor. In April she preferred to sit
in the sunshine. They compared
notes and each found that the other
was from the city. But each was too
well bred TO ask the other q reason
for being In the country before the
opening Of that season I'm which the
city hegira begins. Smithson saw her
to her home. BY this time they dis
covered that .hey were congeniaL The
girl asked Smithson to come up on 10
the porch. He accepted, and both sat
down on the top step.
Spring is g lazy season, and both
Emithson and the girl were lazy. They
talked about their present surround
ings-how green the grass was, how
blue the sky, how white the clouds.
Then Smithson directed her attention
to hawk soaring far up in the ether
ard remarked that It vas doubtless
watching a barnyard. And the girl
pointed to q hen gathering her chicks

ton

chat, and when noon came and Smith
