ESCAPE FROM DEATH
DUE TO UNDERSIUNG CAR

IL has been recently reported TO the
Regal Motor company's factory. De-
troit. that a wealthy resident of
Brookline. Mass. escaped from prac-
tically certain death solely through
the merits OF an undressing automo-
! bile
with his wife through the Adirondack
mountains. Desiring to reach a small
town before dsrk-it was then late IN
the afternoon-he started II on a down
grade at lively clip.
Turning a sharp corner, the road be-
came not much wide than necessary
for the travel OF traffic single file and
was built across ravine similar TO n
railroad grade. The driver OF the car
in question rounded the turn and wac
on the narrow grade before he was
! aware of another car half way across
and headed in his direction.
The distance between the two cars
was not great enough 10 permit the
| successful use OF brakes and for n
moment II looked bad indeed for
everyone concerned Then. on a
| fighting chance the Brooklinitc swe.v-
ed as tho cars We're about to come to-
gether and. straddling the edge or the
road at fearful angle. the inside
! wheel of the Regal just touching on
the roadway. passed the other car IN
safety
The man from Brooklinc stoutly
| maintains the feat would have been
| unsuccessful in anything but car OF
Undressing construction.

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east Is order
ing a large quantity Of electrical ma
terial. and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion. with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf of letters
OF invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. As a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same. but nothing what.
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. II the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig 1t out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows Of It.

Good loqIc,

Little Gertrude, of five summers,
had been living with her grandparents
for some time. One morning she
asked permission to go and spend the
day at the home Of a friend, when
grandma refused to let her go that
day, c%onsoling her by saying that she
could go tomorrow. The next morn
ing found Gertrude up bright and early,
happy in the expectation of the prom
ised visit. Shortly after breakfast
she reminded grandma Of her prom
ise,, when she was again told that she
would be obliged to postpone her visit
until tomorrow. Looking up quickly
her black eyes flashing with disap-
pointment, she said:
We'll, grandma, l thought today
was tomorrow; you said it was yes

BEST WAY IS TO PROHIBIT
People Never Go Right Until They
Have Tried All the Ways Of Going
Wrong, Says Spencer.

Herbert Spencer once said, People
never go right until they have tried
all the ways Of going wrong" think
this truism is more %perceptibly shown
In the various methods lei have tried
in dealing with the liquor problem
than in any other way. They have
tried the unrestricted sale, and the
regulated sale. They have tried low
license. and high license. They have
tried the segregation of the sale to
restricted areas. They have tried the
dispensary. They have tried every.
thing in the hope of making the sa'
loon acceptable to the better class OF
people. And now. they are trying to
reform It!
We Of the southland, along with
thousands of the best people north and
west and east, decided long ago that
the best method of dealing with the
liquor traffic is to prohibit it, just as
we believe that the best method Of
dealing with theft and arson and muir
der is to prohibit these ~evils.-Silena
