NEITHER CAN YOU GET
 NOTHING FOR SOMETHING

Seattle, Aug. 24-EYeryone re- cognizes-or pretends he does- that there S no getting anything for nothing bat is it as clear that there is no getting nothing for Boms- thing? That may require 8 little consideration, and such 1t was giY- en at the time t was stated. by Dr. c. J. Ducasse, of the philosophy de- Bartment of the University of Wash- ington, in lecture before the auul- mer session of students on "Tha Practical Value of Philosophy"
 Whatever we get has to be paid for in some way, and once ws are made conscious of ths price, we may decide that after all 1t is 500 high," said Dr. Ducaase. "CoRYerss- ly, there is no getting nothing for anything. Whatever we lose, fail in, or suffer from, is compensated tR, some way. AOnce the compsRSa- tion is pointed out to us, we may come to the conclusion that after all it is fair enough. That is, the val ue Of the experience ia clear to uS.
 philosophy attempts to broaden our persr ective both in prosperity and in diversity. It's value to the practical man is to ahow him thai there are other values in life than the purely practical values. An OK elusive devotion to the latter klInds one to the others"

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 24-Dry West Virginia has bette-ed Wheel mg's morals, but it has temporarily slowed up Whceliug's business, ac- cording to an investigation report which is on filo today. Wheeling has been dry for more than a month Before July 1 when the saloons went out there was an average of 20 cases in police court daily Since then two a day has been the limit. There are today just onc-third as many inmates of the county jail as formerly. The board of control laid off night and day jailers, half the work house guards were discharged and the council plans to cut the police force to one half Us presew size. On the other hand, nerhcants say the busting of the saloon has seriously hurt the busi- ness, and they predict hard times until business can adjust itself to changed conditions.

MOTORISTS WILL TOUR
UNITED STATES IN 1915
War in Europe Will Direct Auto
Enthusiasts Toward the Pacific
Coast Expositions.

In 1915 all roads will lead to Cali
fornfa is the belief Of California motor
lists. They base this belief not only on
the big exposittons at San Francisco and
San Diego. but also on the fact that it
will be almost necessary for automobile
parties to tour in America, II they
tour at all.
In many ways the Californians have
been at work to make even more at
tractive the wonderful highways of the
Golden state. They have been prepar-
ing special touring information. They
have even sent, in an unothcial way,
touring representatives across the con-
tinent, to test the various routes lead
ing westward.
They have waged a special campaign
to secure the opening of national
parks to motor travel and have secured
one decisive victory in opening con
siderable share of the Yosemite val
ley. This modification of restrictions
occurred soon after the government
transferred the control of the park
from the army to the forestry division.
Route Is Practical.
AS soon as the formalities had been
concluded, w. ]. Richardson of San
Francisco went over the course in his
Studebaker Six. returning with news
that the route was thoroughly practf-
cable.
One of the scenic beauties of the
route is fhe Mariposa grove of big
trees, the Oldest and the largest in the
world. The route in this grove leads
through the famous tunnel, hewn out
of the base of the famous Wawana red
wood-a passage twenty-five feet long
and ten feet square. Here a photo
graph was taken in which the Stdde-
baker car replaced the conventional
stagecoach and saddle horse setting SO

Filling Grease CUPS.

When filling the grease cups of a car
it is much better to remove all the cups
at once and take them to a bench or
other handy place to be filled than to
go about from point to point with the
pail of grease, attending to each con-
tainer separately. For one thing, by the
approved method it is much easier to
keep the hand sufficiently clean to pre-
vent grit working into the receptacle
than when the cup is removed, refilled
there is less likelihood of overlooking
some important point, as when the num-

measurement of the interior is seven

Motor Fuel in War.

Some years ago more or less Won
der was expressed at the army re-
quirements that a motor be capable of
using three different fuels-gasoline,
benzol and alcohol-with the same car
bureter. The present war. with it's
shortage of fuel. has demonstrated how
essential it is to be able to use one or
the other. There are places in the
zone of activities where only benzol
can be had; at another place alcohol
only is available, and at third gaso-
line is on hand. Itwas a wise precau-
tion that made it imperative that a
motor be capable of using one or all of
these fuels.

extent on this trip is the courteous
custom of dimming ones headlamps on
unlighted roads when passing cars and
vehicles. Many accidents have been
caused by drivers eyes being blinded
by the headlights of an approaching
car.
Modern lighting systems are so con-
structed mechanically that it is really
no trouble for a driver to dim his
lamps. On the safety first car in
which am travelling it is certainly no
more trouble to manipulate the lamps
when passing another car than to
sound the horn.
TT is gratifying to note that motor
lists are becoming more sensible in wet
weather and equip their cars with anti
skid chains. in many instances putting
them on all four wheels. The carrying
OF fire extinguisher is another sensi-
bie idea to which the motoring public
is rapidly taking.
OF course, there are certain careless
drivers that never can be cured, but
even many of these are taking the
matter of safety first to heart and are
driving less reckless1y than formerly.

Tells of Good Roads.

Another California tourist. c. A. Dun
das of Riverside. has returned home
with gratifying news of transconti-
mental road improvement. He reported
forty-two steam shovels and innumer-
able grading gangs at work along the
Lincoln highway between Chicago and
Omaha. Good roads were found to
Denver. but the Midland trail through
Utah has been virtually washed away.
In some places Mr.. Dundas had to
remove the spare tire from the rear of
his Studebaker Six in order to prevent
it's being struck and carried away by
the plunge of the ear into deep holes.
Mr.. Dundas. however. covered $500
miles in nineteen days, had but two
punctures and reported no mechanical
trouble at all. He and Mrs. Dundas
slept under roof every night but one

creek which they elected not to cross
