U-BOAT SCARES
 VERY ORDINARY

Twenty five thousand miles on the high seas without a U-boat scare $ al- most as much a novelty today as sub- marine battles were at the beg z o! the war; according to a letter jus re-
 ived by McA thur Brothers, .oca Dodge dealers. A Detroit man com peted such trip a short time ago, however, and is now under way or 2 j urney that will rrobaoly take hirn an even greater distance. Whether the novelty of placid business eX- cursions in war time will be shattaaed or this occasion remains to be seen.

 Rumors of possible outbreaks in h. dic were discounted by the Detroit man, who declared that both trocps and c--ll- i2Es everywhere are loyal to the Tritish cause and that an excellent system ca colonization is being operated to grelc advantage. The streets Of Bombay were crowded constantly with soldier indi- eating that recruiting was plooeedn- al q lively pace.

MILLER PRODUCTS
 ELIMINATE SK|Ds

Some folks are skepiical about the efficiency of non-skid tires They've had non-skids that skidded, and so it's pretty hard to persuade them that there is such a thing as a tire that will hold in slippery, treacherous places. says Manager C. A. Fish of the Central Auto Supply Co, local Miller tire agents.
 Of course any tire can be made to skid. But the man who uses reason able care in drfving-who Goesn't jam on the brakes when travelling at a high speed on wet streets-who doesn't take slippery turns at break neck speed. will find one tire that will hold him safely. We refer to the Mil fer geared to- o-the-road tire.
 As matter of fact this is not 8. non skid tire. Ii is a geared the road tire. It is not a tread Of mere ornamental buttons. bars knobs or ridges.
 It is the scientific adaption' in rub Der of the tread used for years on big traction engines
 Like the tractor tread, the Miller geared to -the-road tread cuts thfougn the mud. slime or slush and gets a firm grip on the road Its rugged, rubber gear teeth mesh with the road and gear your car safely through slip pery, treachero,ls going.
 Equip your car with Miller geared- to-the-road tread tires today and put skid fear out of your mind forever.

IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTRIES
Easter Celebrations Have Their Own
Arrangements, Which Reflect
the Peoples Ideas.

Throughout Cuba and Central Amer
lea, the presence of soldiers dignifies
the clumsy quaintness of the Easter
celebrations. Crowds gather early in
the plazas to watch the life-sized,
waxen image of Jesus borne out of the
cathedral on high-draped platform.
Acolytes, bearing censers, precede 1t,
and behind it trail clouds # priests,
bands, and flags. The procession
moves slowly through a main thor
oughfare until it meets a second fig
ure, Respondent in blue paint, curls,
and finery. There is a pause as the
two figures confront each other. Then
the second-Mary Magdalene is
turned laboriously about and gallops
away with it's joyful news. 1t en-
counters a third figure, painted yellow
and decked with gold, as BELTS the
Latin-American conception of the Vir-
gin Mary. With the gilded figure lead
ing, the two Marys trot back through
the crowded streets to the first image.
AS the three meet, their draped plat
forms tip forward in solemn, silent
bows, while thousands of awed be-
levers watch in silence. Forming into
inc, the three images are borne back
% the cathedral, the troops fire q

But She'll Get Home Firstl

A short time before Christmas
Grace, aged four, of Newburg, Ind,
was taken by her aunt to Evansville
to do some Christmas shopping"
They went on the interurban, and had
double seat to themselves.
In the course of the afternoon they
encountered the young man to whom
the aunt was engaged, and he accom-
panied them to the depot when they
were ready to start home. Grace's
suspicious were aroused, and siding
up to her aunt she asked In low and
rather ungracious voice:

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply you
with no energy, no force. They cam
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to horse,
draws strength from you, or rather
out OF you, but It can give you none.
So far from helping you, beer, wine
and spirits will hinder you in what
ever work you have to do. Other
things being equal, you will have the
greatest steadiness of hand, firmness
Of grasp. and clearness OF mind, by
total abstinence from every kind of
Intoxicating liquor.
This has been my own experience,
and 1t has been the experience of
vast numbers of men and women liy.
ing In every country, and following
every kind Of occupation. Alcohol has
been found to reduce the strength.
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total abstinenoe.-Dr. Norman N.
Kerr.

A clergyman was very fond of a par

finding great difficulty in procuring the
same sort at hotels when travelling. al
ways carried Il bottle with him.
One day, when dining ut restaurant
with his pickles in front of him, a
stranger sat down at the same table
and pretty soon asked the minister to
pass the pickles. The divine, who en-
Joyed a joke, politely passed the
pickles and in II few seconds had the
satisfaction of seeing the stranger
watering at the eyes and gasping for
breath.

SITE LAWS AFFECT
INTERSTATE RATES.

INTERSTATE RATES
: Renewed attempts by the l'Gisla
lures OF the various states o en-
act additional legislation furt CT in
or, asing OF rating expenses o. the
railroads, as full crew laws,
will no doubt serve to direct the
attention OF the federal government
to the fact that inasmuch as it
increases cost of operation such
state legislation has a direct rela-
ltionship and direct bearing on inter
state rates and commerce.
The so-called "lull' crew laws en-
acted by the various states for no
other purpose, than to create more
jobs, coupled with other needl IS
! state legislation, have increased op-
Grating expenses in an enormous
amount Even in the face OF this,
bills were introduced at the rec Mt
session of the legislatures CT the
various states amending existing
laws and making them more burden
some.
In Oregon and Utah among the
bills introduced were bills limitingI
the number o. freight cars in a.
train-measures which struck at the
very vitals OF the carriers and would
if enacted have seriously crippled
both state and interstate service.
In Nevada bills were introduced re-
quiring standard" cabooscs en- all
freight trains. requiring telegraph an
telephone offices in towns o. oyer
1000 population to be kept open day
and night, and requiring the posting
q, notices on bulletin boards at all
stations concerning all passeng r
trains over one hour late en- sche-
dule.
In California, where the l.gislature
is still in session and where as in
most states having so-called full"
crew laws trains are already over
among the bills introduced
is one requiring an additional flag
man on all trains that load or I'M
load freight or pick up or st out
cars at two or more stations en-
route" regardless of the fact that
these trains already have a compt-
tent Iflagman, and requiring an adj '
iiticnal man on gasolene motor cars
and electric locomotives {
AS approximately 225, Oo0 trains &
carrying freight are run on the I
in California during a year
his bill would compel the railroads d
ither to place an additional and en- t
irely useless man on practically all n
reight trains at an increased annual
Expense of about 100000, or to de- C
rive the public of much accommo- a
ating service by disc"n'i in" ing the "
resent practice of picking up i'm s.
ortant car load freight by through Il
ast trains and confine the work of 81
licking up and setting out cars and o.
oading and unloading FREIGHT to
1cal trains as far as possible fl
In the past the federal govern Ne
lent has paid little or no attention A
D the effect or relationship of so a
allied full" crew laws and other o.
eedless state legislation on or to 81
lterstate rates, but now that the S
ailroads have been compelled by
burdens to appeal to N
10 government for an increase in
lterstate rates it is altog ether
that Congress will more
asily and fully appreciate the eco
omic Importance or exclusive fed q
