profoundly ignorant. Just now he
was discussing girls.
Girls are funny creatures" he
remarked to his uncle, in an in
structive tone of voice.

queried his gTey-haired relative.
ooh, don't know; but they are

inside the restaurant she said she felt

that perhaps she could manage a

WISE KID!

At breakfast restless little Tommy
began to play with the cruet stand.
His father told him not to do so.
Tommy persisted, and at last upset it
and spilled the pepper on the table
cloth.
Nov, Tommy" said the father,
you were disobedient and upset the
pepper caster, and really ought to
make the punishment fit the crime
by putting some of the pepper on
your tongue"
Tommy looked up in flash and
said:
Should l be punished the same
way, dad, if upset the sugar boWl?"

WHAT TO DO ON A HILL.

There are several important points to observe in driving a, car on a hill. In the first place, on a steep hill bet ter control of the car can be had by putting in second gear and shutting off the spark; or on very steep hill, low gear may be used Doing this is imperative on very steep hills, if the brakes are at all weak, because with weak brakes once the speed of the car is allowed to rise, it cannot be re- duced again with any amount of brak- ing effort. Of course. this only ap plies to the very steep descents en- countered in the mountainous districts but when these hills are reached, <it is a discomforting feeling to creep over the top of a knoll at fol1r or five miles an hour, and then feel the car gradually increasing it's speed, all though both brakes are set hard, until at the bottom it is going possibly three times as fast. At this time you will think of what might happen if the brakes should give way, and 1t is then that you will feel safest with the car in low gear with the ignition shut off.
 A great many cars have brakes that will not hold as we'll backward as for ward and for this reason it is well to note that the reverse gear is a most excellent brake. If you are ev- CT stalled on a steep hill with brakes that will not hold the car, and this has happened more than once, shift to re- verse the moment the car starts to move back Or, if the machine has gained some momentum before this can be done, be careful to let the clutch in gently the same as when starting, and when this is done shut off the ignition. Under these ~condi- lions it is impossible for the car to run more than two or three miles per hour and this resistance in 4conjunc- ton with the brakes ought to be enough to stop the machine
 Should the emergency brake alone become imperative due ito burned

THE FARMER: OCTOBER 15, 1914

out Things, broken hnkage or lock ing device, and 1t be necessary to stop a hill, the car should be held by means of the foot brake while 8 pas senger blocks one of the wheels with a stone. It has happened, however, that driver was alone under these conditions. In this case, the car may be held in position by holding it firm ly with the foot brake, then, with the engine stopped put the gear lever in reverse. Ease up gently on the brake just enough to allow the car to slide back and pull against the frtc- tfonaI resistance offered by the motor You can then get out and block the wheels, as this is sufficient to holdzthe car except on a mountain Erade- Motor Print.

NEW AMUSEMENT
 VENTURE COMES
New York Firm to Establish Big Dance Project Here-is 18th City To Be Added to Longer Chain in EOst.

Bridgeport is to have a Salon de Dance, catering to hundreds, and bringing to this city for the edifica- ton of patrons the most prominent opponents of the terpsichorean art either upon the stage or the instruc- tive dance floor
 Representatives of the Metropolitan Booking office in New York, who sup ply the largest theatres, cabarets and dancing acadarnies throughout the country with expert talent have been in this city for the past week, and whil@I&he full details Of the enormous project have not been disclosed, 1t is known that an attempt to secure the Casino for one or two evenings each week beginning Wednesday October 21 has been made.
 Frank Forsyth. president and gen eraI manager of the Booking office, through his personal representative E. Emerson Baker, who will tenpora- rily be located in this city. stated yesterday that the company already has IS other cities in the chain of ex- hibition dance-halls contemplated and that Bridgeport will make the six teenth to be established.

SENIORS OF B. |. s. WANT EXTRA P0lN I
 IN STUDY COURSE

An unusual incident was placed De- fore the Senior class Of the local high school at its meeting yesterday, when one of the members moved that a committee be appointed to confer with MT. Sirnonds and have him credit all members of the class, who took jun for college English last year, with three points instead Of two and -one half.
 On the courses of study distribute q among the students, these pupils talk ing the college preparatory courses are obliged to take Junior college Eng fish as one of the required subjects. This study they are supposed to hay Q two and one-ha1f days each week. Or dinarily. to do this, classes are held three times one week and but twice the week after. But last year the classes had to recite three times every week and accordingly should be cred tied with three points of study. How ever. those who passed in the study received only two and one-half points, and because of this a young tempest the present Seniors.
 In order to sit in a Senior room a student must have passed foFty-seyen points of study. There are quite a few, though, who have but forty-six and sone-h half points and are not aI- lowed to sit in a Senior room, nor are they allowed to sit upon the platform at assembly, If the extra half point, which they claim to have earned, is given to them, then the vacant seats in the Senior rooms will have occu- pants and the minds of many set to rest.
