TO AVOID SMDDlNG
There Are Some Drivers Who No.
pear to Court Danger.
CORNER TURNED TOO QUICKLY
Best PlaA % 70 Let Car Ooast and
Hold II From Getting Into Trouble
{ by Using Steering Wheel
IT, Use Brake Carefully.

Did you. ever have an automobile
skid under you7 II you never have,
then you have yet to appreciate the
most hopeless feeling in the world
that Of the occupants of a skidding
car. It has TO be tried to be appreci-
ated. And that Is not all for when a
car starts well ON to skidding, there is
no telling where It will bring up or
what the result of the action is going
to be; and vet there are drivers who
appear DO court this danger, or else
they ara unaware Of why cars will
skid. .
Perhaps the greatest cause Is turn
ing q corner at too high rate Of speed,
which often causes skidding of the
front wheels as well as rear wheels
the car, going 50 fast that the front
wheels do not get traction enough to
change the direction; and when an
attempt Is made 10 make a turn they
skid. and the car goes for the side Of
the road Applying the brake will
usually overcome this skid
Lei Car Coast
On thu other hand, If the rear
wheels alone are skidding, let the
brake alone. It Is best to let the car
coast and hold It from getting into
trouble by using the steering Wheel
turning the front wheels In the diree-
ton in which the rea end Of the car
Is skiddlng. II there Is. stiIl danger Of
going Into something, 8 the brake
very carefully, not enough to keep the
rear wheels from turning.
A bent axle shaft will sometimes
cause q skid, the rear wheels not
turning with the front wheels. A
drop into the street car tracks will
sometimes start q skid; and this
suggests the wisdom Of keeping out
of the street car tracks when they are
wet and slippery. It Is q good plan
to keep out Of them anyway, but
''safety first" urges II when the rails
are slippery.
Unevenly Adjusted Brakes.
r. the brakes are adjusted unevenly
20 that they are applied to n wheel
more than they are to the other, the
car win skid.
Probably the best help against
Skidding is nonrskdd chains ! and on
muddy or snowy roads and on slippery
asphalt they are essential; but they
should not be used except when
needed because they do cause undue
wear ON the tires Finally, the best
guard against skidding is the driver
himself. Accidents happen even TO
the best Of driver.-POwer Farming.

Good Driver Never Applies Emergency
Brakes Swiftly Except In Cases
SO. Of Emergency.

In the Wuman's Home Companion
there is IN article about motoring in
which the writer says:
'.The good driver never applies
brakes swiftly except In an emergency.
When drawing up at a street side, she
cuts of ignition early and allows mo
mentum to carry the a to the stop
ping place, using the service brake
usually. The good driver thus saves
gasoline and wear upon brakes, coast
ing to a stop with the sm6othness Of
operation Of an easy start
"A good driver never uses the emer-
gency brake, because she never has
emergencies! She sees and avoids the
emergency before 1t arrives the poor
driver rushes into trouble and depends
upon quickness in grabbing the emer-
gency lever to save life. More than
one accident has followed a futile at
tempt to find the seldom used eIner-
gency lever In a hurry.
, 1.-THE good driver rounds sharp cor
ners to the right, goes over extremely
rough stretches Of road, or hits unex-
pected thank-you-ma'am's, with clutch
disengaged, to save the ear axle
mechanism.
1.-THE good driver SEES the wheel
with the least possible motion. She
does not drag 1t suddenly from side to
side, but turns It SO gradually that Las
sengers are unconscious Of the fact.

WIDE SPREAD CONSPIRACY
 BY |. w. W. IS UNCOVERED
tBy AssoeInled Press DIspatchl

WASHINGTON, Sept. T. - Reports and disclosures to officials here in connection with the seizure of w. w. documents throughout the country indicate wide conSp acy to hamper the government in almost every concev- able way.
 Plots by the l. W. W. propagandsts included wagng opposition to the draft aw burning crops, some of the labor disturbances which have already occurred and at tempts to curtail production in war industries.
 All of this was part of the same alleged conspiracy with the prime motive of crppng the governments ac- tvies in every possible way short of actual interference with military and naval operations
 The grand jury in Chicago will investigate as to where the l. w. w. money came from. Many bits ot evi- dence at hand point German fund from which money was avshy used for work of alleged consprators here tofore Connections between this German fund and the activities of persons hostile to the government has not yet been established, however.

MILITARY UNIT
 TO EXPAND

One of the most important meetings held for some time by the local mili- tary unit, will take place this even ing at 7:45 o'clock in the A. B. hall The committee which drafted the con stitution for the body will make it's final report this evening. and another committee on the entertainment which will be held some time next week, will also report.
 Arrangements are under way and will be completed this evening for the appointment of permanent committees to take charge of the various enter tainments and athletic sports, which will afford great interest during the fast-approaching winter months. Basketball, boxing, and wrestling will fill a portion of the winters program, as well as dancing and theatrical di- versions.
 Another matter for consideration tonight is the changing of the We'd nesday drill to Monday night, which arrangement seems to meet with the desire and approval of the majority of the members. Taking everything into consideration, there is lots to be done this evening and the presence of ev- cry member is not only desired but expected.
 For new men, inexperienced in drill ing, special drill will be provided and all those liable to call are urged to be present and thus prepare in ad- vance.

RED CROSS CHAPTER IS
 ORGANIZED
Seward Unit Will be Completed at Committeee Meeting In
 Pioneer Hall

Stewards Red Cross Chapter was or ganized at a meeting held in A. B.. hall last evening, and final action nee essary to complete an effective and working chapter will be taken at a meeting of the executive committee elected last night, which will be held at four o'clock this afternoon in Pio- neer Hall.
 Preliminary work in the effort to establish chapter here was outlined by the temporary chairman, who in troduced Robert H. Scott, field repre- sentative of the Red Cross, here to aid in organizing the chapter.
 At this distance from the zone of fighting it is difficult to realize the need for Red Cross endeavor," said Mir. Scott. But l assure you there is need, and great need, for our AL lies have almost exhausted their re- sources in this struggle already.
 Reports of the suffering and hor- TOT in the early phases of this war when men were operated upon with out anaesthetic; gangrene was ram pant because of lack of organized preparation for war, should be a warn ing to us to be ready for the casual ties to come.
 "You would not have it said that men died in France for lack of en- deavor by the women at home, and therefore, there must be endeayor. Women who do not take up their re- sponsibility in this matter and men who fail, are not worthy to partake of the freedom and blessings assured under American government"
 Mir. Scott then outlined the plan of organization and work and, under his direction an executive committee, nominated by committee of the tenn porary organization 1t is the pur- pose of the organization to add to this committee, from time to time, the names of those able to give active aid.
 The committee as now formed, in- cludes the following:
 Gus Borgen, Frank Cotter, Hugh Dougherty, Samuel Mcdonald, Dr. J. H. Romig, Dr. J. N. Sloan, Curtis Morford, E. L. Whittemore, Erich Lu- cas. Rev. H. c. Munro, E. O. Sawyer, Jr, Mrs. Ballame, Mrs. Baughman, Mrs Ellsworth, Mrs. Thoday, Mrs, Starr, Mrs. Sauers, Mrs. Krefting, Mrs. Sexton, Mrs. Weir, Mrs. Leslie and Mrs. Lucas.
 This morning Mir. Scott addressed the children of the six higher grades of the school He spoke of the con- ditions prevailing among the children of Europe, and told of the need of the Red Cross in Belgium and Poland, where the people are without the ele- mentary comforts of life.
 "It is up to the children of Seward to do their part towards helping these children across the water. Many of them are dying of sickness and dis ease. All of them are getting but one meal a day, and that consists of mere ly bowl of soup and a piece of bread. The American Red Cross is going to be the big brother to these children. and all American boys and girls can do their part right here at home by helping in it's work"
