tour would provo of great value to

The route OF this "introductorv

simply mechanical. and that certain
things must be done to get the desired
results. In fact. practice simply made
driving automatic.
The first thing required OF the pupil
was to become familiar with the key
board OF the car. which included the
starting and ignition apparatus. Then
there was the brake and clutch pedals
the gear shifting lever and the accel-
orator pedal to get acquainted with
and pressed or pushed AS the occasion
required.
After starting the motor. the be-
ginner went through tho gears and
saw the wheels rcvolve at different
speeds. Then the accclerator pedal
could be depressed and the speedometer
would register from twenty, thirty and
forty to nifty miles an hour. Besides
being instructive, IL was the greatest
OF fun and absolutely safe.
After four lessons In the anchored
car. the pupil was allowed to take n car
out on the road for real" drive. 1t
then was found that six months adj
vancement had been made in driving,
through the lessons taken in the
stationary car. The nervous strain of
was completely overcome. The oper-
ator was letterperfect in the control
of the car before going out on the
road. Mr.. Bishop was so impressed by
this successful demonstration that the
anchored car has become Il regular iix-

car was the result OF necessity. The
idea originated in Brooklyn. n. v, In
the salesrooms of the distributors OF
automobiles in that territory. GIN
Bishop found It necessary to discover
some easy method to teach driving
when the sale OF q motor car de-
pended on 1t.
The president of large Brooklyn
corporation recently told Mr.. Bishop
that his wife desired car. but that
she felt that she could never learn to
drive. That remark started the auto
mobile salesman thinking. and tho re-
suit was the anchored car.
The method used to obtain the result
has not been thought OF before. BY
using two small wooden horses the
rear wheels OF the car are raised from
the floor Just high enough to prevent
the car from moving when the wheels
rerolve. Sitting in the machine 1t is
possible to go through all the motions
OF driving minus the fear Of road
dangers.
To aid the beginner, the car Is placed
before large plate glass window.
where the driver can watch the refiec-
ton OF the wheels as theJ go around.
and see just what happens when the
various levers and pedals are operated.
According to Mr.. Bishop, the first
person to receive a lesson WAS the wife
or the big business man whose remark
inspired the idea. 1t was explained to
the beginner that the art OF driving Is

"H0N0R SYSTEM" PROVING

results in their cheerfuiIy doing bet

be expected under harsher conditions,
TRUSTEES at the road camps are al
lowed ten days good time of their
sentence In addition to that allowed all
prisoners for rood conduct. This ex-

ter written by Warden Conley to the
National Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor. is great incentive to-
wards good behavior and for this ren-
son escapes are few and a general feel
Ing OF contentment pervades the prison
atmosphere"
One hundred and nineteen miles OF
road were completed during 1919 BY
the Montana prisoners, many miles or
which were through rough and hilly
dthcu!t. Mr.. Conley states that the
prison labor is worth Sc a day to the
State. as 1t equals free labor which
receives that wage. No wage iu paid
tho prisoner. however. and his total
cost TO the State is only so cents per
day. For this rea son the warden urges
that the State allow him n wage from
Its profits which could In many cases
be used to support prisoners depen-
dent family.
The Montana success Is largely duo
to Warden Conley and his subordInAtes
who afford every reasonable liberty
to the prisoners and seldom nnd their
confidence misplaced. To develop mon

way the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor has been working

Ing to broaden this cooperation
through the establishment Of 4 chair Of

would make It possible to train work

many other folds Of prison work. and
to create a public sentiment which
would demand that these workers be
freed from political interference and
given opportunity to develop the

The names of prospective candi-
dates for president on the republican
ticket for 1916 are looming up through
the columns of the press of the coun-
try. About every state has a native
son to offer, and in some instances
the offering is not confined to a single
son. There is no end of material to
choose from, although some of the ma
terial is not all wool and a yard wide.
The indications just at the present
time are that the republican candidate
is to have walk away next year, yet
a great many things might happen be-
fore the ides of November, 1916 to
reduce those chances. The safest
tling for the party to do in the selec-
ton of a candidate is to pick a man
whom the people have confidence, and
with a united party there will be moth
ing to it but the hurrah at the close
of the polls, no matter if the present
administration manages to regain
some OF its lost prestige prior to cleo
ton day.

try is no nearer peace than it was a
year ago. Assassination, murder and
sudden death stalks through the land
taking its daily toll. About the only
redeeming feature about the situation
is that that redhanded thug, Villa,
erstwhile the valiant and victorious
saviour of his country in the eyes OF
the administration, is getting what he
had coming, overwhelming worstings
at every turn. No man so far has
appeared among the many leaders
springing into temporary prominence
fit or capable OF ruling the Mexican
people, and the guerilla warfare prom
iGes to continue on to the end of flesh

ftuence, with the power to make that
influence felt, steps into the breach
and creates order out of chaos.
