REGISTER A MARK FOR TACT
tanning Services Of Valued Man,
and Curing Defect.

Carlyle Blackwell once employed a
heavy whom he afterwards discov-
cred to be pigeon-toed. Mr.. Blackwell
was in despair, for the man was a
splendid actor and he hated to part
with him. More, he felt he could not
wound the mans feelings by remark
on this defect. Finally he hit on a
brilliant plan. Whenever he was near
the actor he himself walked pigeon
toed. At last the man noticed, and, be-
ing not particularly tactful himself. re-
marked to Blackwell

'Whatll you bet?" asked Blackwell
They bet something, and then the
heavy" was taken TO see himself on
the screen. Blackwell won-both ways
for he convinced the man he was
plgeon-toed without having hurt his
feelings and managed to retain his
services. for the heavy" never again
forgot his feet for a moment and there
was not another picture in which ht
was registered as being pigeon'toed.

Eleanora's apartments. She orders him
out and shoots at him. The next day

THE CURE IDEA.

Four thousand years OF human his

curative medicine in disease or of
punitive remedies for the cure of
crime. On the other hand, the marvel
Gus results following the practical APP
plication of theories evolved from
modern scientific investigation must
convince the most skeptical that only
along rational lines of prevention can
the steadily rising tide of disease ard
crime be successfully combated.
There are no accidents in this world.
Every happening is the inevitable re-
suit OF specific cause acting accord
Ing to definite and immutable law,
what We term accidents" being a
happening unexpected only because OF
our ignorance OF the fundamental con-
ditions and law. AS heat and cold are

gree, so accident, disease and crime
are only varying results from COM

mony in existing conditions.

OF transgressions OF natural law;
crime is the result OF breaking man
made law. All three are very largely
matters Of geography, for the reason
that what will result in one or the
other In one country or state will not
produce like result In another
place.
Either unknowingly or In spite OF
ourselves, and whether we like 1t or
not. nature leads us by purely person
al motive to fulfil her ends. In other
words. humanity must react according
to each individual nature and its en-
vironment. Because OF this fact punI-
tive laws have never been deterrent,
never can be deterrent. In our ig-
norance we establish laws running
counter to natural law and thereby
make criminals" Because OF this
fact society has been forced again and
again either to remove the cause or to
amend or repeal the law and legalize
the crime.
But We can neither amend nor re-
peal natural law nor by resolution nul.
lily the effect OF n given action: and.
as each act has positive and newt
able result, irrevocable and extending
to the end. either we must adapt our.
selves to the new conditions or suffer
In consequence. II we are elastic and
adaptable We react" and continue to
enjoy good health, but IL rigid and
unadaptable we suffer disease and pre-.
mature extinction.
We do not break natural laws; they
break us II we are stupid enough to
try to run counter to them. Therefore,
the logic OF the situation should drive
US diligently to famillarlze ourselves
with the fundamental laws Of the uni
verse OF which we are an integral part,
that we may live In harmony there.
with and fulfil our destiny. whatever
1t may be.

SAFETY FIRST CAR TOUR.
Makes Tours in Michigan to Seek
Supporters.

1t is now practically certain that a
national Safety First Federation will be
established in the near future and will
have affiliated with it practically all Of
the local Safety First organizations
throughout the country. This is one of
the plans of President Ogden L. Mills Of
and. it was largely with the idea of &C
complishing this that Frederick H. Ell
lott was sent on the road.
The car which he is driving is equipped
with various modern devices which tend
to promote safety, such as anti-skid
chain, bumper. fire extinguisher, electric
signaling device. lamps which can be
dinmed on unlighted roads when passing
another vehicle, and wire wheels which
are considered especially safe for auto
mobiles, efficient brakes. ETC., together
with other devices.
MIR. Elliott's efforts are by no means
confined to safety as regards motor cars
exclusively. There are numerous other
means Of promoting safety which the so
ciety favors. One of these is an ordi-
nance prohibiting ice wagons and similar
wagons from having a step in the rear.
On this sort of vehicle children can jump
on and off and are liable to land in front
OF fast-moving vehicles. Condemnation
of this has met with splendid response
in various cities. and Mr.. Elliott believes
it will be only a short time before the
owners of these wagons in all cities and
the manufacturers of wagons will be
obliged to eliminate the rear step. Pub
lie officials are opposed to step wagons
being used upon the city streets. In fact,
in Utica and Syracuse, while Mr.. Elliott
was there. two children were killed from
riding on the rear of wagons
During the past ten days the Safety
First car has visited the cities Of Cleve-
land. Akron. Elyria, Toledo, Detroit, jack
son, Kalamazoo, South BeHd. Hammond

.sAFETY FIRST" DEVICE
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Garage in Louisville Warns Pedes-
TRANS of Danger With Lamp
and Gong.

An interesting bit of safety first
work has been put in practice by the
proprietor of a garage in Louisville,
Ky, whose example might well be
followed in other places.
Motor vehicles leaving this garage
are obliged to cross the sidewalk OF
a busy street along which pedestrians
are passing all hours of the day and
night, ana as warning a lamp has
been installed in front of the exit in
large globe on each side Of which
the word Danger is painted in large
letters.
This lamp is lighted from sunset to
sunrise and in itself forms an effective.
cautionary signal. 1t is, however, sup
plemented by loud-ringing gong,
ever vehicle approaches the exit
door, d steel plate being SO placed
that it automatically closes the con-
tact with copper spring and rings
the bell whenever the wheels pass over
It.
Our correspondent writes that it is

New Postal Scheme.

With five new Overland delivery ears
at his disposal, the postma ster of
Cleveland, Ohio, has announced his in
tention of putting into effect plan
which will be a decided innovation for
Uncle Sans postal department..
The purpose is to make the parcel
post an agency for greater service. All
farmers diving in the vicinity of Cleve-
land. who have butter. eggs and gen.
erai produce for sale, have been invit-
ed to forward their names and ad-
dresses to the post office. These names
will be printed free by the governm emit,
and the list will be displayed in the
federal building and substations
throughout the city, and in addition
will be distributed direct to Cleveland
ers by mail carriers.
The prospective consumers will com
nunicate with the producers regarding
prices, orders will be mailed and goods
received within "A day or two Uncle
Sam will make the collections when his
Overlands make the deliveries.
The cars will not only deliver par
cells, but also will be used to bring.
outgoing parcels to the post Office from
stations in different sections of the
city.
A novel departure from the usual
method of keeping up Il delivery sys-
TEN is that each of the drivers will be
required to pay for all repair work on
his car and to provide oil, gasoline
ti-ns and bear any other expense nee
essary to keep the vehicle in continuous
service. For this purpose he will be
given a fixed allowance annually.
