AUTO HEADLIGHTS.

How to Eliminate the Dangerous Glare
In Front of You.
Elimination Of glare from automobile
headlights is ridiculously easy when
the headlights are hung on fOrked
brackets, according to George s. Waite,
sales manager OF a large mOtOrcar cor
poration. He says:
'"The problem Of headlight glare,
which is not only inconvenicnt to APP
preaching motorists, but positively
dangerous, and which has caused SO
many accidents. has been the subject
of deep study for more than Il year by
a committee of members of the SOci
ETY. of Automobile Engineers. At the
conclusion Of its Investigations the
committee made recommendations for
standard headlight which would
throw a concentrated beam Of light
for IL distance OF 200 feet and yet with
it's highest point not more than forty
two inches from the ground.
"rle solution is to set the lamp so
that the upper edge of this beam,
which. if the lamp is a good one, is
cleary defined, will be parallel to the
ground. When the lamp is set square
the center line Of the beam is parallel
to the ground, but the distance be-
tween the edges Of the beam grows
greater as the distance from the lamp
grows greater.
1T is, however, easy to understand
that If the upper edge Of the shaft Of
light is parallel to the ground the light
the lamp is capable Of throwing it, but
will be sufficiently low SO that it will
not strike the eyes Of person ap-
preaching. whether afoot or in We
hicle."

HOW w.
To Start an Asparagus Bed

Start the seed bed in early spring;

FOUND IN HIS SHOES"
h,l guard and strict martial law, were
now in the hands of this spy of the en-

tail had been surprise in their man

In his long experience with men Cen

The prisoner was mere boy with no

WINGED that the work is that OF an ex-

Colonel Curtis waited patiently until
the general finished his work and put
maps and papers back into the drawer.
He leaned back in his chair with a
thoughtful, grave face. 1t was events
like these that made the business OF

BROODING CHICKS.
How to Train Them When Incubator
Born.

Born.
Chicks should be removed from the
incubator to the broOder at night. Not
only are they easier handled when it is
dark. but they are more likely to re-
main where they are put under the
hover. For the first night or two they
should be confined rather closely to the
hover for this reason.
If not carefully watched for the first
two or three days chicks may huddle
together in Il corner of the brooder.
where they are likely to get chilled. or
trample one another to death in their
efforts to keep warm. 1t only takes a
couple of days to train them to take to
the hover
For the first few days chicks need
rest more than anything else. If sun
light enters the brooder they will spend
hours at time huddled together en-
joying the natural warmth. This is
good for them, as it helps to strengthen
them.
Nature provides for chicks nour-
ishment for the first two or three days
Of life. Chicks should be given neither
food nor drink for the first forty-eight
hours. If fed sooner it will be harm
full and not helpful. The unabsorbed
portion of the yolk serves to supply
the chick with nourishment. Additional
food is likely to cause indigestion and
bowel trouble, which should be avoided
by all means More chicks are lost
every season by overlooking than by
undertaking.

How Lace Curtains Can Be Protected
In Warm Weather.

In the summer, when the windows
are opened, the housewife may be an
noyed by the fact that the lace cur
tains blow against the screens and be-
come rusty and dirty. This can be
avoided by placing small tack at
each side Of the window and tying a
piece of white cord from one tack
across to the other. This will keep the
curtains clean.
When person sits near the window
he may be bothered by the curtain
blowing against him. Now. if another
piece Of string is placed exactly where
the first piece was and the curtain is
placed between the two it will be kept
there, and both difficulties will be
solved.-Popular Science Monthly.

| rallied remarkably and at one time
the score was tied, but persistent and
admirable playing turned the score in
Lewiston's favor. The 1ine-ups were
Lewiston-Pearse and Burns, for
wards Lee, center; KERN and Whit
comb, guards. Wallace - Edmiston

Mccartney and Kleffner, guards.
The game between Nezperce and
Moscow was declared by many fans
to have been the best ever staged in
Moscow between high school teams.
Nezperce took the lead for minute
or two at the beginning of the game.
Several minutes later the score was
even, then Moscow began to forge
ahead, completing the first half with
score OF 16 to 8 in their favor. The
fnal score was 80 to 10. A feature
was the beautiful long-distance
shooting of Hunter. Keane was also
a favorite with the crowd for his ex-
cellent work. A pretty shot by Hunt
er, which would have made Moscow's
score 80, was caught in the air when
the pistol was fired closing the game.
