ALONG MOTOR ROW.

Did you know that you could COM
init assault with an automobile:
Well, you can. The opinion In
State v. Schultz, SO Atlantic Report
or. Il2, reads In part: "The plain
tiff In error was convicted OF as
sault and battery by 'wilfully and
unlawfully' striking and wounding
ono Thomas Mitchell with an auto
mobile as charged in the indict-
nent."
Not a day passes but what a doE-
en- or more automobiles pass
through Abilene going east. A great
or part OF them are all spattered
with mud of many states and carry
Frisco pennants. These tourists OBJ
serve the city speed limits bettor
than do the Abilene drivers. for
they seldom go through the business
part of town faster than five miles
AN hour. They have evidently learn
ed from travelling through other ci-
ties that It is best to keep within the
law.
Motorists who have had their mo-
tor cars out in the rains of the past
few weeks have noticed that the
black paint on the new state license
tag is beginning to come off. BY
using water and any sort OF clean
ing compound all the black can be
removed leaving the tag bright
yellow" This was clipped from a
Kansas paper and II 1t is actually tho
case we fear the Kansas policemen,
marshals and constables will be at
loss when II comes to apprehend-
ing motorists. The counties have
collected the fees for the tags and
all they can do now is to build
roads and let the autoists speed.
Peggy O'Neill, actress. drew a
crowd of two thousand people on q
street in New York recently when
she "got out and got under" and re-
paired her balky electric coupe with
three hairpins. The amazing part
of it is, not the fact that a crowd Of
. 900 gathered, but that three hair
pins could be put to such a use.
Don't get the idea that any kind
of oil or grease will do for your en-
CINE. No matter If you are lubri-
eating a tractor, a stationary engine
or a fine touring car, you will find
that the best oil is the cheapest In
the long run. And for the differen-
tial and transmission gears, the best
grease is none too good. Graphite
grease is particularly good for gears,
as it prevents wear to some extent.
A scant teaspoonful of graphite
powder put into a quart of oil and
poured into the crank case occa-
sionally is a fine thing for an old

question. A man and his family

Science believes that much valua.
Bile Information about the prevention

ailments Of plants. 1t has long been
known that in matters of health and

this relationship between plants and
mankind may be much closer than we

Tho alienation Of hosts for certain
diseases is also true of plants and of hu-
man beings. Men get tapeworms from

In similar fashion fruit trees get the
rust disease from juniper trees, the lat

To Clean Copper Easily.

Have you any copper utensils in
your household that are trial to
clean? Why should it be when there
Is an easy way? Place a little oxalic
acid in dish and moisten with water
enough to make paste. Rub this
paste on the articles to be cleaned,
using soft cloth. Let them dry.
Now rub briskly with dry flannel
cloth, and as a result you will have
q remarkable brightness.
Having the article to be cleaned
very hot will make the operation even
easier. Let the utensils stand with
boiling water IN It for q while before
cleaning it.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst Of
. controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and It is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
In high places and hurled gas bombs"
At industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business. and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter OF century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart Of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives.

No man-especially If he is mar

she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace. but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, Is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
Of mayor; 10 not the employment of
the dairyman far more important
event in the life Of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things In life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be 1t said to the credit of woman

woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not
