STOP RECKLESS DRIVING.

STOP RECKLESS DRIVING.
Maryland's automobile operators
are prohibited from taking a single
drink while at the wheel OF car.
Commissioner Roe, whose depart
ment has this matter in hand, says:
II have decided to put an end TO
reckless driving, and especially to
reckless driving superinduced by
strong drink, II 1t is possible for me
TO do so.
ITO accomplish my purpose, 1t will
be necessary for me to refuse to dis
tinguish between people who drink
little and those who drink much. !
shall, therefore, In the future revoke
the license of every automobile driver
who is brought before me II It can
be shown that the accused has been
drinking while operating his car.
This, in my judgment, is the only
safe rule to follow. | do not wish
to pose as an authority on drink or
what constitutes drunkenness. | see
no ray of hope in so-called sobrlety
tests.
Therefore, / must conclude that
chauffeur or car owner who has taken
one drink is as guilty as the motor
operator who technically is consid-
cred full. am vested with full au.
thority by law to forfeit licenses for
such offenses, and I certainly shall"

Vocation Selection.

Vocation teaching, with a selection
of students for different classes of
work by so-cafled scientific methods,
seems to be still in a very rudimental
stage. Prof. Herman Schneider has
had notably successful experience
with the cooperative courses of the
University of Cincinnati, but con-
cludes that the plan Of choosing the
lifework for individuals by their phys
ical peculiarities, is not reliable. II
has been held that such characteristics
as the shape of the fingers or of the
head disclose special aptitudes or
abilities. This is a development of
the old phrenology, and might indicate
that certain money-maling executive
will have appropriately shaped head
and hands, but successful executives
chosen at random showed no such pc
culiarities. The claim of some pro
fessors of psychology that certain
mental qualities-memory attention,
and so on--gave fitness for certain
work has proved equally misleading.
The old method of testing ability by
trying varied lines Of work seems to
be the only dependable one, and in the
several years of college course may
serve as very good guide.

DIDN'T WANT THE PROMOTION
Corporal Had Good Reasons for De-
clining Elevation Which Most
Soldiers Would Welcome.

Some soldier wac Corporal A. Lin
coin Brown, and he belonged to some
regiment, too, for at the time we speak
of he was in the Ninth cavalry.
Nobody remembers how 1t happened
now, but there was some mix-up. and
there was no money in the treasury
for the disposal of the army and for
five solid months soldiers hadn't seen
what dollar bill looked like. The
army paymasters were just laying
around and waiting for something to
happen.
Lieut.. Col. John II. Gardner, now
retired and recruiting officer for the
San Francisco district, was first lieu
tenant of the Ninth cavalry at that
time. In common with all the officers
of his command he was getting along
financially during the period OF non
payment OF troops by borrowing
money each month from banks. Lieu
tenant Gardner was in command OF
troop. In common with all the troop
commanders he had to loan all his
men money regularly so that they
could buy tobacco, and pay for their
laundry and all that sort of thing,
and one Of Gardners heaviest debtors
in the troop was Corporal A. Lincoln
Brown.
There was a vacancy in sergeancy
in Gardners troop. The lieutenant
studied over the list Of men he had
who were fitted TO be sergeants and
finally he chose Brown as the best of
the lot. He had Brown called before
him.
Corporal" be said, I'm going to
give you that vacant sergeancy."
Normally when a corporal in the
army is told something like that at
least a grin of appreciation can be
counted on. Corporal Brown, how
ever, looked frightened first and then
gloomy "Beggin' de troop comman-
der's pardon, sah," he said but you

tenant Gardner. why do you ask
a fool question like that when just

Belt Buckle Saves Life.

John Irato of $50 st. Ann avenue,
The Bronx, while painting one of the
bridges of the Harlem river branch
of the New Haven railroad near
Beechwood avenue, New Rochelle,
came in contact with one of the cleo
trio wires charged with 1000 volts
that supplies power to the electric
trains.
Flame was seen to spurt apparently
from his body to the steel upright
near which he stood. He fell to the
ground, got up and walked away. He
was taken to the New Rochelle hos.
pital against his will, where 1t was
found that he was cut about the face
and that there was slight burn on
one shoulder.
1t was discovered that the electric
current had passed out of his body
through the point of his belt buckle.

LAST WORD ON CONSERVATION.

The necessity for conserving our ma.
tlonal resources has been occupying
the attention Of our legislators, ma
tional and state. Laws have been en-
acted to protect our forests and our
water supply. Millions Of dollars have
been spent in controlling contagious
diseases among our domestic animals,
and to eliminate the boil weevil from
the southern cotton fields and the vari-
Gus blights from our fruit orchards.
What greater national resource has
our country than our boys and girls,
and why should not the government
protect them from the blight caused
by the use of intoxicating liQuors?-

Idaho.
