WRONG TO TAKE RISKS
AUTOiSTS MUST HANDLE STiMU.
 LANTS WITH CAUTION.
overindulgenee in Intoxicating Liquor While Driving Car May Be Most
 Serious Matter.

The exhilaratng effects of motor speeding, whether due 10 alcoholic stimulant or otherwise, dispose cer- tain motor car drivers to assume risks that they would avoid at another time, and it is this unsteadiness that makes these motorists unable to control their machines as promptly and efficiently as ordinarily.
 Of course it would be almost i'm possible to enforce . law prohibiting motor car drivers from using intoxi- eating liquors before or during a drive unless their disobedience causes se- rious accident. The vast majority of accidents are not due to evil intention Joy riders generally mean no harm, but are frequently carried away by the exhilarating effects of oyerindul- gence.
 When the brain becomes stimulated beyond its normal condition through influences other than the excitement from speeding. it becomes easier to understand the condition of a driver who has consumed more than a mod crate quantity of alcohol, enough to quicken his senses and affect, even though slightly, the coordination of his brain and muscles.
 In the first place, such a motorist takes greater risks than he would oth- erwise; and, secondly, he cannot con- troi his muscles as promptly and ac- curately as before. Consequently, 8 great number of accidents occur on what are practically intoxicated joy rides, whether they are recognized un- der that name or not, and such offend CTS must be punished accordingly Francis NJ. Hugo, New York Secretary of State.

Disconnect the Battery,

The more recent model cars are now equipped with electric lighting and s.arting systems. This electrical equip ment necessitates the use of an ex- pensive battery. In laying the car up for the winter care should be taken to disconnect the battery and store it with some responsible person who will give it proper care. If left in the car it will deteriorate. and by spring will have become of very little use. During the winter season is a good time to have the battery overhauled and cared for by a responsible per son

Base ball has grown to gigantic proper

aids in promoting health and strength
and keeping the blood rich and pure; but,
perhaps you are one Of the many who
are denied that privilege. You lead q
sedentary life which always has a ten
dency to make the liver lazy, the bowels
clogged and digestion poor. oftentimes
you are nervous, sleepless, have no appe-
lite and feel run down.

Why Advertising 10 Read.

One Of the foundation principles of
successful newspaper work is that the
closer anything comes home to the
personal affairs of the reader the more
interest 1t excites. An item about the
business interests of a neighbor is
likely to be read with more attention
than a report Of some fatal disaster
many miles away, affecting communi-
ties and people of which no one knows
anything, says Omaha Trade Exhibit.
This gives one an idea why 1t is
that advertisements are always read
with such attentive interest. They
relate directly to the personal affairs
Of the public.
People are deeply concerned nova.
days about the cost of living. They
lie awake nights worrying about it
The club formed to discuss the poetry
Of Tennyson may spend much Of its
time talking over the cost of beef OF
the wages paid servants.
So anything relating directly to
living costs appeals as keenly as any
thing there is in the newspaper. The
account of the battle over in Belgium
is thrilling, but it is many miles away
and without immediate effect on the
reader.
But when one learns from some
wide-awake merchants advertising
that he has acquired lot of potatoes
or oranges or flour or overcoats at {
special bargain, and is prepared t.
close them out at low price, thu
thing hits us where we live.

Eccentric Window Displays.

Curiosity is prevalent in men. 1t is
the open eye of curiosity that catches
at eccentric modes Of advertising ON
the printed page, or in the window
sill. We couldn't stand much of 1t, as
a little of it goes long way, but the
following, for instance, relieves the
deadly dullness of the usual display
of sponges, says Pacific Drug Review
A horrible head, with red eyes, set
in white sockets, staring out of win
dow. The light ears and nose and the
thick white lips and black teeth were
startingly distinct, and could be seen
clear across the street. This amazing
visage was supported on body with
outstretched arms, and ornamented
with small three-cornered cap. On
closer inspection one saw that what
looked like an abnormally sized cocoa
nut, was in reality large. dark
sponge. The light ears and nose were
small toilet sponges pinned in posi-
ton. A band of surgeons gauze
marked with ink to suggest teeth,
formed the lips. A couple Of hard red
candy eyes looked out Of the circular
cotton pads used for protecting sores.
The body was exactly like that of a
scarecrow. A stick and cross piece,
towels and wash rags pinned together
instead of rags, draped the figure.
The cap was folded wash rag. The
window otherwise was filled with tot
let articles.
The broken window idea is sure to
receive attention. We are all so fond
of staring at something broken (when
we are not responsible and do not
have to pay for it,, that an apparent
accident makes us pause nine times
out of ten. Glue few pieces of bro
ken glass (helter-skelter, but close to-
gether) on the inside Of your pane.
Step outside and note the effect. A
large hardware dealer used this idea
effectively in connection with a new
patent mouse trap. A show card in
the sill stated that the crack was
made to attract your attention, the
mouse trap to catch mice.
But there is kind of eccentric ad-
vertising that partakes of the prac.
tical joke. Perhaps it is as well that
this kind Is practiced mostly in coun.
try districts, where the natives have
time to burn. A seaside casino sport

bright, but not glazing, warm, but not
uncomfortable, and probably not less
than 10000 visitors enjoyed every fea-

other young men, a woman and a

over the stern wheel Of the steamer
when the guard broke, dropping young
Hutchinson through the wheel, which
was slowly revolving, and carrying
him into the water.

to rise no more. Every effort was
made to rescue him, but all were un

THE DALLEs-cELILo CANAL
Is Of Lock Type and Drilled Out Of
Solid Rock for Four Miles.

Solid Rock for Four Miles.
The Dalles-Ce canal is of the lock
type and drilled out Of solid rock for
half it's length. tt is lined with con-
crete where cut through sand and
gravel.
The principal of the five locks is at
Big Eddy, above The Dalles, where
the three gates serve to form tandem
locks, or two locks that give lift
of 20 feet in the 90-foot rise that the
canal overcomes. Other locks to lift
the remaining 20 feet are at Cello
Falls, Ten Mile Rapids and Five Mile
Rapids One pair is used principally
to regulate the state of water in the
canal.
The minimum depth of the new wa
terway is eight feet and as the locks
are As feet in width and 800 in length,
with seven felt over tht locks sill, the
dimension, 45x300x7 circumscribe the
size of the vessels that may go through
| the canal.
In the construction work drilling and
blasting, sluicing and undermining,
checking sand slides by placing ex-
cavated rock on top of the sand banks
and other engineering steps were nee
essary.
Eight steam shovels, 20 locomotives,
200 cars, five concrete mixing ma
chimes and so miles of construction
track were used. The largest number
of men employed at any time was
1900.
1t will require a force Of 25 men to
operate the canal, when opened, to
operate the locks, which are run by
gear machinery. and care for the nine
steel swing bridges that go over the
trade artery at as many places.
Eight passing basins have been pro
vided to allow boats going in opposite
directions to pass one another, and
1t is expected that the canal will al
ways be open to navigation except pos
sibly during maximum high water.
Here are few figures that give
comprehensive idea of the construc-
ton work performed: Solid rock ex-
cavation for locks, 160,957 cubic yards;
subaqueous excavation, 5000 cubic
yards; solid rock excavation for canal
trunk, S10,156 cubic yards: common
dry excavation, 504,871 cubic yards:
