for the tall timber along the Solo

saw a buggy and horse along the

found six quart bottles of whiskey
and revolver in the buggy. They
hid the booze in the weeds and threw
the six-shooter in the creek and
waited for developments. After a
while a seedy looking man came
back and searched the buggy. He

The police OF Salina are enforcing
the jay driving ordinance and last
evening three persons were arrested
for driving on the wrong side of the
streets. The ordinance for jay driv-
ing should be enforced in this city
and this would help to avoid acci-
dents. In the cities the jay driving
ordinance is strictly enforced and no
one is allowed to turn buggy or

cts a wonder to me-" said one
of the big guns of the automobile
business, that more manufacturers
do not use vanadium Steel In the
construction OF their cars. In my
opinion 1t is vanadium steel that has
made the Ford car the marvellous
success that It is. IT seems like a
paradox that the Ford car. which
costs the least money of any on the
market, is in reality made of the
steel which is most expensive.
Henry Ford spent 100000 in
testing for the right heat treatment
OF vanadium Steel, and in determin-
ing what was the correct proportion
OF Vanadium to mix with the molten
steel, to produce that wonderful al
10y, Vanadium Steel. That big sum
OF money was spent at a time when
Ford had little, but 1t was the best
investment he ever made In his iife'
His engineers and steel experts solv-
ed the question of steel to perfec-
ton. They found the exact formula
for making the best steel and also
they were able to heat-treat 1t In
the most scientific manner, to pro-
duce the NOSE efficient results.
st is that Vanadium Steel which
makes the Ford almost indestruc-
tible. The other day l read In the
paper of a Ford car smashing into a
tree and the front axle actually
wound right round the trunk OF the
tree, but still 1t didn't break. The
molecules of vanadium Steel are
actually interlaced; that prevents all
possible chance of Capitalization.

L. d. Whittemore assistant state

was In Abilene today and made a
fine address to the normal students
this morning on the inspiration OF

now" said Mr.. Whittemore. "The
OF the institute is higher,
the work is on a higher plane, be-
cause N' is professional instead OF
academic. Teaching should be among
the learned professions and to be-
come successful teacher one must
make it his life work"
Mr.. Whittemore gave several
points for the individual success or
a teacher. Character Is more i'm
portantH than in the professions OF
law or medicine" he said. "A teach
er must have a general intelligence
to be tactful and skillful is also
important A successful teacher must
have ambition, must have a progress
sive attitude, must be able to sacri-
flee and be sympathetic. Optimism
and a professional spirit are also
essential" He highly complimented
the institute, declaring it one OF the
best in the state.
