SELF-SERvICE GARAGE PLAN
Automobile Owner Can Make Repairs
in Separate compartment-TooIs
Also Furnished.

The self-service idea has invaded
the realm of the garage, says Popular
Mechanics. Just as one can enter GER
tain restaurants or groceries and help
himself and be charged with what he
gets, so now a car owner can take his
automobile into one of the separate
compartments provided in a Seattle
garage, procure tools at the garage
office, and do his own repairing. When
he has finished he returns the tools
to the office and is charged according
to the time he has occupied the room
and for the tools he has used. These
private repair spaces can be locked so
that one can safely leave his work and
return and finish it later. If a helper
is desired, one can be secured at a
specified rate.

Kicked by Runaway Horse

Leon S. Macutchan, mail carrier or
r. E. D. No. /, is suffering from severe
injuries and nervous shock at his home
on Maple street, following runaway ac'
cident. Mr.. Macutchan was covering his
route near James A. Fosters in the east
ern part of the town about five o'clock
Thursday afternoon, when he left his
buggy to get stone out of one of his
horses shoes. The horse, which was a
colt, was startled by Mr.. Macutchan's
approach and kicked and ran toward the
village about half mile away. Near S.
W. Barrows' residence the buggy collided
with an electric light pole and was left
behind. Passing through school street
the animal turned down Main street,
where it was seen by friends of Mr.. Ma
cutchan, who went to his rescue with an
automobile.
The blow from the horses hoof took
effect in the left side between the ribs
and hip, but regardless of his injuries.
Mr.. Macutchan pushed on after his horse
until met by his friends near "Seven
Springs, where he was cared for through
several sinking spells, and was then taken
home. His injuries include several bruises
and broken rib, but, unless internal in
juries develop, are not serious. Other
sinking spells occurred during the even
ing and were attributed to the nervous
shock.
The horse, with portions of the shafts
attached, passed down Main street and
turning into the yard at A. R. Straw's
residence ran into the barn, both doors
of which stood open. Mr.. Straw's daugh-
ter, Mrs. E. E. Wright, who had just |
gone into the barn after hoe, was fol- |
lowed by her two years old son, Walter,
who stood in the middle of the floor when
the horse appeared in the door. Obeying
his mothers call to run the child barely
escaped the horses hoofs. He was hit
on the leg by strap from the harness
but was not hurt. 1t was remarkable
that in a flying trip through two busy
streets the horse should have injured no
one. The buggy was considerably dam
aged, but the horse was uninjured. Sub
stitute H. H. Cobb is filling Mr.. Macut-
chan's place on the mail route.

GOOD ADVICE TO MOTORISTS
Police Commissioner Woods of New

Much on Auto Horn.

The precaution enjoined by Police
Commissioner Woods of New York city
on owners of motor trucks, Don't al
low your driver to rely too much on
the horn" might be accepted by motor
car owners generally, to the advantage
of all concerned, says Christian Science

this direction would afford excellent
discipline for the drivers, as well as in
creased safety for pedestrians, and
would mitigate the noise on the city

The race was on
The Queen ran fast,
And won the first two races;
She said she had the very best Of
PAGERS.
They ran so fast, they jumped the
track
Then her PAGERS speed did slacken,
And they began to weaken
And she lost the next two races
When they began to slacken.
King David said, This thing won't do
For l know that I have good PAGERS,
So I'll call on my God three times a
day
And win the next two races
Because l have good PAGERS.

Then keep pacing for we are thorough

Neither be dismayed,
Just stay on the track
And keep the pace
For l am sure to win the races"

Because they trusted in their God
For they were thoroughbred PAGERS.
