NEWS NOTES FOR
AUTOMOBILE FANS.

A lot of folks think the four door

ed for the benefit OF the driver and
they waste lot OF time commenting
on the philanthropy of the companies
who do so much to make 1t comfort
able for the driver in winter. OF
course, as matter of fact, the COM
fort OF the driver is considered in a
measure in this arrangement, but the
other fact must not be lost sight Of
that another seat alongside the driver
Is gained. One more person besides
those whom the tonneau will hold Is
able to tour in comfort in the auto
mobile. The chauffeur's comfort Is
more or less incidental.

"STUNT THE FINGERS AND,
YOU STUNT THE BRAINS"
Doctor Urges Men and Women to Ac-
quire Manual Skill to Stimulate
Mentality.

Business men and women should
use their hand in every possible way
if they want to increase their brains,
according to the latest idea of well
known London doctor. He says:
''Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
to make some Of your own clothes,
prepare and cook all your own food,
repair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden-in fact, do every
thing that calls for manual skill If
you want to have an active, resource
full and versatile brain.
"The business man whose work de-
pends on a keen, quick-working brain
must useD his fingers constantly If he
wants to have these assets in full.
He must, speaking literally, turn his
hand to everything, and be capable
Of constructing most anything with
his fingers.
''The truth Of this statement lies in
the fact that in every manual act the
hand is directed by the brain.
| again, every act reacts upon the
brain, strengthening and stimulating
it, which is the only sure method Of
keeping that organ in keen, efficient
working order.
'That our fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
merous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
'"This state of affairs, since 1t stunts
the powers Of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically. unthinkingly. and grad
ually his brain grows torpid and i'm
paired"

WASHINGTON LEGISLATOR
HAS NEW LAW DRAWN

Prohibiting the taking of STRAW"
ballots of newspapers or individuals
is the effect OF an amendment to the
present primary laws Of the state OF
washington proposed by Guy B. Croft
legislator-elect Of Spokane. who thus
defines his position on the question:
''The publishing of the results OF
straw ballots, showing one candidate
far in the lead, exercises an unwar-
rantable influence upon the chances Of
others in the race. After the primar-
les, when only two candidates are
running, the test is one of party
strength and the straw ballot cannot
have such pernicious Influence. II
II were legal. should have newspa-
pers prohibited from expressing pref
erence of any candidate except
through their editorial columns"
Mr.. Croft also declares that he
will seek to wipe out the "third de-
gree" by introducing aneamendment,
with q view to restricting the intro
duction Of confessions and admis-
sions in criminal trials. He said on
this subject:
'T have been told at the Spokane
police station that I could not talk
with clients until the prosecuting at
orney had seen them. When per-
son is allowed to talk with prison.
or he is In q separate compartment
and can not see the man with whom
he is talking.
II would return to the old law of
territorial days. which forbade the
introduction of any alleged confess
sion or admission unless the prisoner
made It after being first fully inform
ed Of his rights and the consequences
Of his act. and through his attorney
or some one taking a friendly inter
