Catchy Question.

this place are sore" They are testers
for IN automobile manufacturing con
Germ and they reed drivers licenses IN
New Jersey. So they went over to the
state across the river to take the re.
quired examination as to their fitness
to serve as chauffeurs on Jersey roads
If" one Of the questions asked. you
were preceded by machine going for
~ miles an hour and holding the mid
die Of the road. on Which side would
you pass it?'
All four answered that they would
hold to the rule Of the road and pass
on the deft.
I'm that case" the examiner told
them. I'VE don't want sou fellows driv.
ing automobiles in New Jersey. Inas
much as the car in front is exceeding
the speed limit by good deal. you
have no right to pass him on any side. "

Austrian Physician Says Il 10 Merely
Case Of Stretching.
Vienna.-A well known Austrian ply.
sician. DR.. Ebstein, claims the dis
covery Of physical exercise that
will cure insomnia. AS explained in
the Physical and Diet Therapeutics
Journal the cure consists of the simple
process Of grasping with both bands
the head board or rail of the bed and
Of straining upward until the arm and
shoulder muscles are fatigued.
Sleeplessness In most cases is caused
by irregular blood circulation In the
brain. DR.. Ebstein explains. This
comes to pass because Of the slight
difference In altitude between the
head and the heart when one is lying
down. By raising the arms and strain.
ing upward the physician claims the
flow of the blood to the head is in.
creased. while ut the same time GER.

German AfshiH Drop 100
Bombs in England; Eight Killed

London-Six German airships raided
England early Saturday morning, drop
ping 100 bombs, killing at least eight
persons, seriously wounding seven and
slightly wounding IA civilians and 10
soldiers. Preceding this raid by "a
hours single Zeppelin visited the
East coast, but the report given out by
the admiralty says the damaged caused
was inconsequential and there were no
casualties.
The official report of the Berlin war
Office, as received in London, says
that the city of London was "abun-
dainty bombarded, !" that naval vantage
points and vessels at the wharves
were attacked, and that everywhere
good effects were observed. l." The
British account, however, differs from
this in essential particulars
The admiralty statement indicates
that the visitors met with stern re
sistance. 1t is said that several air
craft went up in pursuit and that one
British aeroplane succeeded in firing
at a raider at close range, but the lat
ter succeeded in eluding her pursuer.
Further reports show that five o.
six enemy airships raided the East AM
Southeast coasts of England. In al
100 bombs are known to have beel
dropped.
