 In conducting the relay an effort will be made to have a message delivered from the war department of the Pacific coast to the department in the east in record time. The route will be thor Oughly determined before the relay and everything will be done to establish a new ocean, to- ocean record.
 Already nearly twenty motorcycle clubs or individuals have enlisted to assist in the relay It is proposed that one team of riders carry the message from one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles and deliver it to the next team, which will be awaiting the ar rival of the message bearers.

ART OF BEING A GOOD MIXER
Be in on Everything, Then Learn to
 Give ana Take

The way to learn to be a good mixer is to practice it. Join club or church or both, and be in on everything.
 In order to be a good mixer you must be:
 1. A good listener and sympathizer with other peoples points of view.
 ,. A radiator of good will and moderate amount of interesting con versation.
 3. With plenty of give and take.
 The reason we mix with others is because we need to get their point of view We can only do this by being silent about our own point of view and drawing out the other per son.
 But if we did nothing but receive ideas from others there would be no reciprocity and no real mixing. The mixing would be all on one side. So we have to let the other fellow draw all sorts of good things out of us, good ideas, good will, the right sort of sympathy and suggestion. i To be a good mixer remember al ways that when a man would have you go with him a mile you are to go two miles, with all good will. Go his way. Except, of course, in the very rare instances when his way is distinctly wrong.
 If you are generous in helping the other fellow to work out his desires you may depend that when you have a bright idea about a particular mile which you would like to go and have others go, the other fellow will be very pleased to go two miles with you in all good will and helpfulness

 The trio, Seeley Davenport. alias Snake; Jacob Dunn, alias Mig" and Warren Dunn, also known as Peter Dunn, are admittedly not highly in- telligent They are types of the bar ren North Jersey mountains. None even has a common school education. Because of this fact the postoffice in spectors who made the arrest do not believe that their attempt at black mail, of which the government says it has positive proof. was anything more han the general belief of the district n which they have lived their lives hat those who have much should give 10 those who are less fortunate War !en is said 10 have accused Jacob of writing the letters.
 It is admitted that the men are of he type who could be depended on 10 try to carry out any threats that were made. This is the real danger ,f the present case, according to the officials Because of this an attempt will be made not only to convict the rio of sending the threatening letters .o President-elect Wilson, but also to other persons in North Jersey who nave been threatened
