HOW TO AUTO THROUGH

Expert Tells How to Get Out of Deep
Mud Holes Encountered I'm Cross
Country Tours.

In the April issue Of the Packard
magazine there appeared a bit OF ad-
Vice to exposition tourists on how to
get out OF deep mud holes. 1t has been
used by the Packard engineers in tnei.

I'raries.
The method is n modification of the
Spanish windlassj and may be Illus
trated by using some OF the equipment
found on an office desk. Take a paper
weight and visualize II your car

a piece of string to 1t and attach the
other end TO any fixed object In the
real emergency the fixed object is a

timber buried in long trench. dug at
right angles to the direction of the
pulling effort. At point halfway
between the paper weight and the
dead man" hold pencil upright.
Now take second pencil AMI loop your
rope around It and turn on the first
pencil as windlass. At once you'll
find the paper weight moving along

itself. You have long lever and a
short bite and the pull is terrific.
In actual usage two pieces Of i've

Caution should be taken when using

What is the single tax? A tax on

Would the tax on a half acre of

acres in the country? No, the value
of the haIf-acre in the loop, being
$7,OOO,O00, and the value of the forty
acres being $4,000, the tax on the half

the clothiers. Justice demands that

the burden shifted to the owners of

 The transverse iron girders were concealed by q fiuted drapinG Of paie greens. National emblens, alternated with white discs covered with laurel and roses, were hung from the gird- CTS running the length of the hall.
 All the windows were hung with white which with the calcimined wall of the room made an unbroken white background for the masses of laurel and roses that ran the length of the yelled space. Between each window a flower covered disc or a draped flag was hung and the same decorations were used effectively on the gallery. Every box was marked by strips or ired and white cheesecloth, topped by laurel. which gave the effect of a hedge. The entrance posts were wound with white and surmounted by baskets of laurel and roses.
 The musicians stand which has all ways been approached by steps, was lowered on this occasion and a lattae erected at the front, over which lau- rel and roses were arranged to simu- late the climbing rambler, with the inscription Company l., C. N. G., at the base.

ISOLATION OF
 KINGDOM OF HOLLAND.
Picks and ShoveIs Have Done Much
 In Reclamation of Vast Territory.
Especial to The Bulletin)

NSDecl3l to lie bul4GllIt-J
 Washington, D. C. Feb. 15.- The particular isolation of the kingdom of Holland as a result of the war zones established in the North Sea by the principal beIligerents brings a worlds sympathy for the brave little kingdom and her people. who are receiving so many of the ills of war with Htte chance of ever sharing it's benefits. In this connection an extract or a study prepared by William Nisnef Chapin for the National Geographic Society is full of interest:
 Here is a section of the globe which was almost entirely overlooked by nature in the original distribution of iron and other metals. of coal. stone and wood. Tn fact, to a great extent even the land itself was wrong sideaup at the start. The existence of Petro- grad and Venice is regarded with wonderment, although they are cities covering small areas. What, then, can be said of Holland, where the land, made and reclaimed from the sea. spreads out in great fertile plains and meadows thousands of square miles in extent.
 "The wind has furnished the power in the battle through which the land was wrested from the sea; while even the water. against which Dutch m genuity so long and successfully
  summons and come to the rescue of besieged cities, overwhelming their enemies and preserving the nation.
 "One-q quarter of the whole Kingdom lies below the normal level of the sea while 90 per cent of all the terri tory of the country would be sub merged but for the dikes.
 For a time Holland was one Of the three leading powers of Europe Warfare has marked the existence of her sturdy people from the first. For when not fighting with sUNrds they were battling with picks and shoNels.
 Mir. Chapin then tells how, although the country is largely treeless. one of the finest forests in the world is to be found at the Hague, and describes the affection of the people for il, often saving it, in time of stress by sacrl- fees and voluntary offerings. He re- minds us that Amsterdam is built on -9O islands, connected by more than $50 bridges: that the Royal Exchange is built on 34.000 piles and the Royal Palace on nearly 14.000. He says that 1000 of Amsterdanl's Jewish popula- tion are enga ged in diamond polish ing. and that Holland deserves her reputation of being the most liberal in charities, of all the European coun- tries He continues:
 "On the front facade of many houses Hanging between the windows, are mirrors. placed at such an angle that
