AUTO ADVENTURES
(By Walt Mason. J

(By Walt Mason.)
When first a fellow learns to drive,
ne says. Great Scott and Man
Alivel This needless scorching is a
crime; it's careful does it, every
time. Because one car has speed
and power, he hits up fifty miles an
hour, and in the cleaning he is
found, where he has hit the fertile
ground; his car, torn and tangled
wreck, its fragments wrapped around
his neck. Since / have all the time
there is, l don't intend to scorch or
whiz. I'll jog along steady gait,
and try to keep my head on
straight" At first he travels sanely
slow; but after seven weeks or SO,
he hurries up his choo-choo cart, and
tries to tear the roads apart. Then
/, and other idle rich, behold him
seated in ditch, the steering gear
pushed through his hat, and with a
bloken leg or Stat. We comb the
castings from his hair, and take him
to the surgeons lair. He says, while
bones are being set, "Tll get another
car, you bet! But no more scorch-
ing will you see-six miles an hour
will do for mel"

BATHROOMS MAY BE
DEATH CHAMBERS

Your bathroom may be a death
chamber. Few persons realize the
risk which they may run when turn
ing electric light switches in bath
room. Several lives are lost annual
ly by accidental electrocutions which
take place in bath tubs. In some in
stances these deaths have been pop
ularly attributed to faulty insula-
ton. But 1t has been shown how
bathef, standing in a tub OF water
by turning a switch with his left
hand may cause enough moisture to
penetrate the electric socket and es-
tablish a circuit thereby permitting
the current to pass from the wires
through his body into the water and
thence to the ground. Thus the
body acts very much as lightning
rod.
Electrocution may occur il one

the other, being wet, is used to turn
switch. If only the key is touched
and no moisture penetrates, Of
course no i'll effects will follow. Fa-
talities are believed to have resulted
also when bather in tub has &C
cidentally struck his head against
! projecting socket. The hair, II
thoroughly wet, may supply sufi-
cient moisture in such cases to COM
plete a circuit. nder these circum-
stances a current that is ordinarily
harmless may cause death.
A writer in one of the scientific
| publications makes this explanation
regarding a fatality which occurred
recently in an eastern state. Another
accident, somewhat similar, occurred
when a bather attempted to use an
electric vibrator while sitting in a
partly filled bathtub.-Ex-.

Dear Mr.. Tacker:
The carnations you had sent to me
here arrived a few minutes after we
did. Too bad you couldn't select
them yourself, but they are beauti-
full.
Do you care if / tell Mabel that
you sent them? She tells everything,
especially when she is jealous of me.
She told about Mr.. King saying !
was an unusual type of girl, and he
had to say that he didn't mean it
as a compliment, but he did; he told
me he did. l hate, though, to see a
fellow give a compliment that can be
explained, and ia hate to marry a
man that cautious, or one so trained
in explanations. / can imagine him
keeping his money under his pillow,
and saying he was afraid the baby
would swallow 1t.
You certainly do see a difference
between the boys who drink plenty
of Chero-Cola and these who do not.
The Chero-Cola boys are more cheer
full and brave, so much more Iowa

drink enough of it.
BY the way, you drink Chero-
Cola, don't you?
Many thanks again, ! love carna-

At The Baptist
Church Sunday

The subject of the Sunday morn
ing's discourse was THE, Unknown
God" Acts 1923. Pauls declara-
ton to the Athenians: 81 found an
altar with this inscription, To the
Unknown Cod With their multi
plicity of gods-images Of silver. of
gold, and precious stones, possessed
with great learning and wisdom,
they yet lacked the knowledge of the
rtue God. Intellectual conception
Of God will not lead to eternal life.
Paul declares to them this God, who
hods our lives in the hollow of His
hand predestinatting all things,
keeping us in tenderest affection,
placing us where he wishes US to be,
controlling our lives-each move
ment 81 directed by God. We are do
ing today the things according TO
His DEGREES. He has given to us a
gift, His image. We should praise
God that we are created in His
image. Gods universe and eternity
is fixed-all is Gods. He needs
nothing at our hands, We need Him.
God hath power over death, judging
the world in righteousness at the ap-
pointed day, opening the gates of
life eternal on the resurrection
morn. Our God can help. He is our
stay in troubles darkest hour. The
text of the evening, / Peter 1921;
subject, 1.-THE Answer Of a Good Con-
science The first point discussed
the different kinds of conscience
The well instructed, the scared, and
the dead-conscience. Decision
reached through conscience. Many OF
the failures of life are due to this
cause. We must have an enlightened
conscience If we would be directed
in the right way. Gods word to in
struct us, an unenlightened con.
science, will not make a right de
cision. The Holy Ghost working
through the conscience is a guide
There is need of an answering con-
science in regard to baptism-led BY
the spirit, the conscience is stirred
and uneasy until we surrender t.
God and follow him in baptism
Question not the command OF thu
Master, but as obedient servants fol
low Him. The great Importance o
baptism evinced by the great dis
lance esus walked to be baptized
Baptism is a sacred and becoming
act-pleasing to God; has the ap
proval of the Holy Spirit. Those WIFI
receive the word, believe and repen
should be baptized, thus declaring
their faith in Jesus, their death t.
sin, and desire to walk in newnes
d life-putting on the uniform o
Jesus Christ. The resurrection 0
Jesus is symbolized in baptism, AM
by this act we declare our hope o
the resurrection. The baptisma
scene at the close Of the service
presented these divine truths.
