NORTH DAKOTA is IN AMERICA

NORTH DAKOTA is IN AMERICA
Mandan, n. D. Jan. 81, 1911.
To the Editor of The Tribune,
Bismarck. North Dakota.
Dear Sir
There was a preacher nefe IN sun
day telling us how we should spend
our Sundays. He also told Us That
North Dakota must keep and enforce
all her "blue laws
This preacher said it was very
wrong to enjoy yourselves on the
theatre on the Sabbath was surely t.
land you in warm climate. Some
one said. chronological seminares are
in danger of turning out preachers as
foundries turn out stoves, all Of the
same cast and pattern" 1t is true
that some preachers are so narrow
and SO bgoted. and know SO little OF
the laws of God or man, that they
think it a sin to smile and be happy
on the Lords day. The pre- lcner who
believes it crime to look upon a
dramatic composition. picture or stat
ue on Sunday has the right in this
free land to stay away from all thea
tres but he has no right to tell us
what we must do on any day. We
are just as moral as he is. and we are
Just little more fair and more intel
ligent than the average preacher.
This preacher should try and re-
member that North Dakota is in Am
erica, and that years ago we made his
ancestors stop burning people for
witchcraft. This preac cher would be
better man and better Christian
and a better neighbor and more OF an
American, we're he able to look be-
yond the contribution box and see the
beauties of nature everywhere.
| Some are so narrow tina: they
would stop the singing Of birds and
the laughter Of happy children on
Sunday The Christianity founded by
| the Great Master is a broad and sane
| Christianity. The Lord wants us all
to be happy and good, and to enjoy
life here and hereafter. Henry
,Beecher believed in the theatre, and
the Rev. z. c. Sweetzer said, 4 am
firmly convinced that the church and
the theatre should be allies. God in
tended them to work together"
James A. Garfield thought the same
when he said "We must respect views
and convictions of those WHO differ
with us-this is American"
Small preachers are more harmful
to the world than the grasshopper.
Too bad it is so.

that motorists are careless in oiling
parts and in filling the crank case.
Oil-and oil in abundance should be
used on a car, especially when long
trips are contemplated, but there are
good and bad ways of oiling car.
"Now that dash adjustments to car
buretors are furnished on cars, the
motorists should watch their carbur-
etor mixtures. A rich mixture is very
often the result of leaving the dash ad-
justment in starting position after the
car is in motion. Watch the cars 60
ing down the street. Listen for the
motor gallop.' It spells needless
waste of gasoline.
care should also be exercised in
using gasoline around the garage. AS
sertain first how much gasoline you
need to clean given part. Don't use
a gallon bucket full to clean a
spark-plug. Many motorists are care
less in filling the tank. If all the gas
oline that is needlessly spilled in a
year could be collected it would drive
one mans car for many years.
THE main thing about driving a car
is the driving. A driver should drive
and nothing else. Accidents are al
ways expensive, needless and waste

train having left it's track to hit q
motor car. The fact that automobiles
must first get in front of trains tc
be hit adds emphasis to the deduction
that the more careful and mannerly
the motorist is the more certain is the
atmosphere of protection and safety
he surrounds himself with.
Don't, therefore, be an obstacle in
the path Of the progress of automo
bile good driving.
1T is the belief of this organization
that any motorist who makes of these
suggestions part Of his daily life
will voluntarily forego the practice
of many minor infractions that are
common to automobile use, such as
glazing headlights, improper parking
unfair conduct on country highways
and SO on.
Knowledge of traffic rules, one
code of manners, and a genuine de.
sire to make of the motor car still
greater instrument of progress will
this organization believes, operate
with any driver to eliminate dis.
courtesy from his association with the
wheel and thus add to the greater
safety of himself, those near to him,

Engineer Checks Over
Chalmers Advertising

In announcing the appointment of
C. L. Nedoma, as consulting engineer
to the advertising department of the
Chalmers Motor company, w. L.
Agnew, director of advertising, has
taken an important step in the move
ment toward improved advertising
methods in the industry.
$50 far as we know, this is the first
time an engineer has been employed
for the exclusive purpose Of verify
ing mechanical statements made in
advertising copy" said Mr.. Agnew
while the Chalmers company has al
ways checked technical statements
with the engineering department, we
recently decided that the increased
scope of our newspaper and maya
zine campaign for the coming year
and the preparation of catologs, book
let's and other literature made the ex
elusive services of a technical man
necessary.
Honesty in advertising is not al
ways matter of intent. With the
complex problems involved in the
manufacture of motor cars, the marvel
has been that more errors and mis-
statements have not crept into manu-
facturer's Advertising, We feel that
the extensive engineering knowledge
Of Mr.. Nedoma will be of the greatest
assistance to us in the preparation OF
accurate mechanical information for
advertising purposes
Mr.. Nedoma has enjoyed unusual
opportunities for studying the devel
opment of the high grade car, having
spent the past seven years in auto
mobile factories both in this coun
try and abroad. For two years he
was connected with the engineering
staff of the Luarin-Klement, one OF
the best known cars of Austrian make
He also served as engineer with the
Bohemian Moravian Manufacturing
company, one of the largest gas en-
CINE concerns in FyurODe

Automobile Lexicon
Acquires New Word

C. D. Enfield, NJ. D., in Horse1ess Ago
PetrOmOrtis has entered the auto
mobile lexicon, and it has meaning
which behooves every person who
has occasion to work on his car in 4
closed garage to become more familiar
with this strange word.
Asphyxiation by automobile gaso-
line fumes to the layman is petrOm0r-
tbs to the medical profession and daily
newspaper reports of three tragic
deaths within the past month due to
this cause should result in more at
tention to the proper ventilation Of
garages
In the cases reported death result
ed from being confined in a room
with an "idling" motor exhausting In
to the air of the room. AS it would
seem that death in these cases 'came
too soon, and after too short period
of combustion to be the result of nero
oxygen exhaustion of the air in tho
room, toxic agent has been sought
as a cause of death, and apparently
discovered in the carbon monoxide
gas, which is one of the products Of
incomplete combustion in a gasoline
motor just as it is in coal Rtovo.

TELLS HOW TO KEEP
YOUR WINDSHIELD CLEAN

when driving in the rain, snow, or
fog" says a writer in Farm and Fire
side, 1T is very essestial that the
windshield should be kept clean.
There are several devices upon the
market with rubber surface which
can be slipped along the windshield
and will remove the water or snow.
There are preparations that can be
obtained at all accessory stores which
can be applied to the windshield and
prevent the water or snow from stick
ing to the glass. A little kink that il
interesting to know was shown me by
a taxi driver. 1t is to rub the finger
from the top of the windshield glass
to the bottom in the way a window
cleaner is used on store windows 1t
will be necessary to pull the finger
downward a good many times and to
make the cleaned surfaces join. This
makes very effective water resist
ant. I used it recently in dense fog
and it helped greatly"

MANNERS FOR THE MoToRIsT

| The Detroit Motor club has issued
guide for motorists as to their at
titude toward traffic regulations and
toward the public. 1t is called DE
troit's Code of Manners" and is as
follows:
"City ordinances are not necessarily
repressive. They are meant to be of
aid in the general movement of con-
gested traffic. They are helpful to
motorists collectively and are of serv.
ice to the driver individually. Any
given automobile, thus probably
would be smashed to pieces every day
were it not for the general protection
provided by laws primarily for the
benefit of all.
Don't, therefore, be in ignorance
of traffic regulations.
Men of affairs do not eat with
their fingers nor elevate their feet in
drawing rooms, so why revert to the
custom of prehistoric times in the use
of like manners at the wheel of the
automobile? Motorists who impress
with their good manners in home,
office or club seemingly throw their
breeding to the four winds when they
drive. They dent tenders through
traffic crowding. They brighten Pc
destrians, and they blast their horns
long and loud when slight warning
would be plenty. Their lack of good
balance and care adds to the posi-
bility of accident, and accidents come
like lightning strokes.
Don't, therefore, have two codes
IOf cOurteSy--One for company and
one for home, club or office; you are
in company when you drive your car
in public streets.
courteous driving provides def
mite insurance protection which 9th
erwise cannot be bought. Accidents
and wrecks will not descend upon the
ordinarily driven automobile. Stats
tics show that huge majority Of
motor mishaps result from speed
ing or from various other forms of
carelessness Or traffic rule violations
No record exists so far Of railway
