About Turning Corners.

An Abilene automobile enthusiast
requests the Reflector to call the at
tention of automobile drivers to the
proper way of signaling with the
hand, when about to turn corners.
He says most auto drivers get the
signals changed When AN auto
driver is about to turn a corner to
the left he should hold his hand out
with the hand held up When he is
about to turn to the right, he should
hold his hand down. When he is go
ing to stop he should hold his hand
directly out This driver says most
autolsts hold their hand up to turn
to the right and down for the left.
but that it should be just the other
way around.

SEARCH EVERY GRIP
ON TRAIN FOR BOOZE


A wild scramble for the brush oc
Cured on the Union Pacific train yes
terday morning somewhere between
Lawrence and Topeka when one OF
the army officers called together all
the RECONNAISSANCE officers on the
train and ordered search for booze.
The yield Of wet goods was SO pro-
life that government officials are
considering making the searching of
trains from the east a regular and
permanent institution.
One section of the searching squad
started in at the front end of the
train and the other at the rear. In
the meantime culprits in the middle
cars tried to destroy the evidence by
gently raising the windows and shov-
ing the bottles out. One colored
man jumped from the train. Some
eight or ten gallons of liquor in
ranging from a small per-
fume bottle to a quart were garn-
cred in the raid. One man had IA
quarts in his possession.
