REDWOOD FALLS HAS
FINE HIGH SCHOOL
Continued from LIST page)

east corner of the basement, in
a room about forty by fifty feet,
are the lathes, power saw and
work benches accommodating
twenty boys at one time. Ow-
ing to the late completion of the
building no work has been done
in the shop to date, but as soon
as the machinery can be perma-
nently installed and the power
turned on, work in this room
will begin. In the meantime the
boys in this department have
been given a course in Mechan-
ical Drawing that usually fol-
lows or accompanies their work
in the shop.
For the work in Mechanical
Drawing a we'll lighted room ad-
joining the shop has been equip
ped with twenty new adjustable
drawing tables. One room in
the department of Manual Arts
not now equipped, is the one de-
signed for use as a Forging
room. 1t is hoped that a course
in Forging may be installed
within a year.
Science Department
On the first floor are the Ma
terlal Science and Domestic Sci
ence departments.
Instead of a single laboratory
for both physics and chemistry
there is now a laboratory for
each. Between these is a reci-
tation room with door open
ing into each laboratory. Two
new tables for the Physics lab
oratory, an instructors desk,
equipped for experimental nur-
poses, and lantern, that may
be used in any part of the build
ing, have been added to the Sci
ence equipment, not to mention
the fan system for the removal
OF gases generated in the chem
istry laboratory.
Across the main hall and on
the north side of the building
is the Domestic Science Depart
ment. Two new rooms, a din
ing room and sewing room
have been added here, thus elm
mating the necessity of cook
ing, serving and sewing in the
same room. The kitchen is
equipped with sixteen electric
stoves, while a large pantry just
off the kitchen meets a long
felt need.
Assembly Room
Almost the entire floor space
on the upper floor Of the addi-
ton is given over to the assemb-
ly room, with a seating capacity
of 245. The feature of the as
sembly room is the excellent
; natural lighting system. Elk
: tending across the entire build.
ing the room is well lighted on
either side by a row of windows
while five large sky lights in the
center flood the middle of the
room with excellent light. Two
recitation rooms open directly
off the assembly room, and two
more are on the same floor.
) While the building is not YET
/ complete, the near future ought
to see it with the finishing touch
) es added. Then it will be build
: ing of which Redwood Falls may
: be justly proud, and one that
ought to meet the needs of thu
: community for some time tx

Helpful Hints.

Do not dash up to the place where you
intend to stop and then set the brakes
as hard as you can. 1t wears the brakes
needlessly and strains the tires. 1t may
even cause the wheels to lock and slide
on one spot on the tire. Careful motor
lists gauge the momentum and bring the
car to rest with only a gentle pressure
on the service brake
II your motor Is growing noisy look
at the valve tappets. II the adjust.

Motoring Department. The Tlmes-1
have in mind what I think Is q good
thing in the way OF q course indicator
for automobiles In cities where the
traffic Is heavy, but have not the money
to have 1t patented. What would you
suggest? l.. c. II.
Several course indicators have been
placed on the market. but have not been
successful. Where they are used the
driver behind watches the car and only
notices the indicator after the car has
turned. It il difficult to market such
a proposition. and It Is doubtful II such
an invention would prove very profit
able.

Automobile Owner, Can Help.

The Omaha Automobile club is planning to
put on special traffic officer Of its own who will
assist the regular police force in handling traffic,
and who will also give some attention to road
inspection. In both Of these purposes the general
public is deeply concerned The street traffic in
Omaha requires constant and intelligent direc-
ton to prevent accidents and jams. Even with
the best of supervision now attainable, mishaps
are recorded, and jams are frequent. 1t is desir-
able that both be avoided Reports on damaged
pavement are part Of the regular policemans duty,
no matter on what route his beat may lie, but
the special automobile officer may be Of much
help in this connection, too. Still greater oppor-
tunity to be Of assistance rests with the automo-
bile owners and drivers For the most part, they
are careful and scrupulously observe traffic laws
and regulations, but enough Of the careless to
make up considerable menace remain. These
thoughtless or needless drivers are an annoyance
to all but themselves, and some plan should be
devised to bring them to realizing sense Of their
obligation to others. II the automobile club or
owners can do this. they will be performing a
real service.

On the Edge of War.

The United States is so close to the edge Of
war that an hour may see the beginning of con-
fict. This solemn thought has been in the minds
of Americans for many months although all have
hoped that in some way, through some agency
or means, it might be averted, and the nation be
spared the sorrow of another clash at arms with
a neighbor. Events have so developed that war
now can be avoided, apparently, only by the ac-
complishment Of what seems hopelessly impos-
sible. That u.s. the restoration of the blood-mad-
dened and seemingly irresponsible Mexican lead
ers to stage where they will act with reason.
President Wilson and his cabinet patiently
await full official reports on the incident Of
Wednesday before they can definitely announce a
course Of action. Their countrymen look to them
in this grave moment to abate no act that is nee
essary for the unfolding of the honor and dig
nifty Of the nation and the safety of all its citizens
wherever they may be. And the president and
his advisers may be very certain of the patriotic
support Of all the people, in whatever course is
decided upon as necessary to the effective es-
Enlistment Of the peace and honor of the United
States.
