DEATH CURVES.

The county took action which will result IN
aboIishing death IS curve, that dangerous point
on the PeshtigJ road. which has been the scene
Of many accidents.-From report of proceeding
Of Oconto county board Of supervisors.
In these days of rapidly increasing
travel by motor cars, the cutting out
of dangerous curves in the highways
is very important and pressing
matter. Where danger curves exist
they ought to be abolished before acct
dents happen. There is sharp corner
out near the John Grace farm on the
Dodgeville Mineral Point road. 1t
ought to be rounded out and broadened
out.
There are many such dangerous
places in villages and cities as we'll as
on the country roads. And blessed
will be the men who remedy them. In
this good work private citizens should
cooperate with the public officers. On
some corners. high board fences and
trees and shrubs, which obscure the
view constitute source, Of danger
and many householders are setting a
fine example Of public spirit, by clear
ing them away Be truly patriotic and
help in the good work
Motor vehicles on the public high
ways will doubtless increase as the
years go by. But the present is per-
haps the most dangerous period; be-
cause all drivers are comparatively new
at their business. After while they
will almost subconsciously do the right
thing at the right time.

THE KAISER is THE ACE.
And His Generals Are She knaves In
German Decks OF Cards.

Berlin.-Germans now play skat and
other favorite card games with pic
lures of Won Hindenburg and other
popular leaders in the war instead OF
the conventional kings. queens and
k.laves, says an article i'll the Berliner
Tageblatt. The writer of the article.
after calling attention to the wide
spread popularity of such decks of
cards. suggests that German be substi-
tuted for French in the expressions
used in card games, eliminating words
like ''carreau." occur" ''pique" and
''trede."
The new war cards have picture Of
the kaiser instead of the usual aces,
while the four kings are the kings Of
Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg,
and the Grand Duke Of Baden. The
knaves are represented by German
leaders, and even cards like the ten
have pictures of notables in the war,
Among the men whose pictures now
figure in card games are Count Yep
peIin, Admiral Won Tirpitz, Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, Captain We'd
dingen, Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria,
General Won Falkenhayn and General
Won Kluck.

Heavy Wastage on Coin Pointed Out by
Economists.

Economists.
London.-It was in the year 1916
that the authorities at the mint resolv-
ed to discontinue the use of the guinea
and the half guinea, which were re-
placed by the sovereign and the half
sovereign.
Now it is the turn of the half sover-
eign to be scrapped. Economists point
out that the wastage on the smaller
gold coin in circulation is much great
er than On the sovereign. owing to the
larger surface exposed in proportion to
the value. Everything possible has
been done to reduce the loss from
wear and tear and to increase the du-
rability of the coins, but the half sover-
eign still wears badly and is said to
chip easily.
And now that "Bradbury's Zone

ture of the secretary of the treasury
which they bear), and pinkuns 40 shil-
ling notes. are part Of British everyday
