else MUCH CARE.
Statistics Show That Majority of Acct.
, dents Occur at Turns and Bends
of the Road.

The motorist who has safely round
ed the bend in the road with which he
is very familiar hundred times is
apt to think the next experience will
be as free from danger as the others
have been and that there will be no
obstruction. But, sooner or later, the
unexpected happens when nothing
save great skill and alertness will
avert a bad accident And while it is
true that in every instance and at all
times motorist upon the road is de-
pendent not only on his own actions
but on the actions of others, this is
especially true of corners.
The conservative driver never takes
a right-handed corner at anything ap-
preaching a fast speed, and he always
treats curve of any kind as if there
might be an obstruction of some kind
at an awkward point just out of sight.
He approaches the corner at a speed
which will enable him to pull up be-
fore the center is reached
The best method of taking a corner
is more easily demonstrated on the
road than in writing, but the rule of
reducing the sharpness of the turns as
much as possible by going wide on the
outside Of the approaching and the

WHEN HORN SHOULD BE USED
Motorists, Particularly In Country Dis
tricts, Are Sometimes Careless In
This Respect.

If the automobile horn is overdone
in the city/such cannot be said to be
true in the country districts, remarked
a motorist the other day. Careless
ness in this respect is the cause of fire.
quent narrow escapes from collision
and the public will find that it will be
necessary to improve these conditions
or serious accidents will occur
Always blow your horn when over
taking another machine so that the
driver will know you are near, other
wise there is some danger of him
crowding you off the road. This is
especially true at crossings. And when
you do overtake him pass on the left.
r. you go to the right there is a pos
sibility that he will decide, about the
same time, to pull over to the right to
give you plenty of room to pass on the
left, and in this way you will be forced
into the curb or ditch.
II is equally important when about
TO make a turn to the right or left at
road intersections to signal so by ex-
tending the arm horizontally, the left
arm when turning to the left and the
right arm when turning to the right.
1t warns all in rear of you. An ounce
of prevention is worth more than a
pound of luck. Do not neglect to slow
down at grade crossings and lock out
for a train.

leaving should never be forgotten.


Another point which should be re-
membered about corners is that the
most dangerous are not necessarily
those which are most acute, and SO
those that are often called very bad"
corners-that is, bad from the acute
ness of the corner-are not really
the most dangerous because an abrupt
right-hand turn compels traffic to slow
down for reasons other than those con-
nected with the chances of meeting
oncoming vehicles.
Most accidents occur at corners
which are neither very acute nor other
wise extreme, for a gradual turn al
lows unimpeded vision some distance
ahead, whereas a very acute corner

To Clean Watch Chains.

Gold or silver watch chains can be
cleaned with a very excellent result,
no matter whether they be mat or
polished, by laying them for a few sec
onds in pure aqua ammonia. They
should then be rinsed in alcohol, and
finally shaken in clean sawdust, free
from sand. Imitation gold and plated
chains should be cleaned in henzine,
then rinsed in alcohol, and afterward

the water and from that elevation
pounces down on fish. especially pre-
ferring the poor, prosecuted flying fish
for Its prey. According to some au-
thors, the name of man-of-war bird
was given to it because its appearance
was said to foretell the coming of a
ship, probably because the frigate peli-
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor If the weather threatens.

Ellllng Up the Ticket.

Republicans interested in the Guber-
national candidacy of Roads Chairman
o. E. Weller are discussing former State
Senator Henry M. Mccullough. of Cecil
county, and Robert F. Duer, of Somerset
county, In connection with the nomina-
ton for State Comptroller.
The Weller people seem disposed to
select an Eastern Shoreman for the
Comptrollership nomination. Mr.. Weller
lives in Baltimore county and it is be.
lieved that 1t would be wise to balance
the ticket geographically by taking the
candidates for Comptroller and Attorney
General from the Shore and Western
Maryland, respectively.
There seems to be strong disposition
upon the part of some of the Weller peo-
pie to ask Mr.. Mccullough TO run. He
is very well-known and very highly re-
gardsd lawyer. The fact that he lives in
the home county of William T. Warbur-
ton. who is opposing Mr.. Weller for the
Gubernatorial nomination aud the further
fact that the Weller people are not going
to make fight in that county, may be
considered reasons against the choice Of
Mr.. Mccullough. however.

FORMER GIANT SEEKS
SNOW REMOVAL GAIN
Cy Seymour's Wife Says He
Was Better Ball Player than
Business Man.

j. Bentley Seymour, formerly centre
fielder Of the Giants and known to To-
cal fans as Cy, was in the Supreme
Court yesterday trying to compel Hugh
Thomas to live up to the terms Of an
agreement to share the profits from a
snow removal contract held by Thomas
in l909-10. Mrs. Seymour said that
her husband was a much better ball
player than he was a business man.
According 10 Cy, he entered into a
partnership with Thomas, who had a
contract with the Central Park Rail-
road Company for the removal Of snow
from its tracks. Seymour advanced
5000 to carry out the work. Thomas
collected S6,634, of which $4,000 was
profit. Then, said Cy, his partner told
him that he had an interest only in one
section of the work covered by the
contract with the railroad company and
that his share of the proceeds was
1915.
For about three years Mr.. and Mrs.
Seymour lived in a house owned by
Thomas without paying any rent. SO
instead of giving Cy the 1915 Thomas
figured out the amount of rent due
him from Seymour and decided that the
latter really owed him $3.50.
Justice Delahanty reserved decision
in the case.
