Automobile Club of Vermont, who on

in the car averaged nineteen miles to

through the hills OF Vermont required
only Six gallons OF gasoline. Dr..

Here's Signal Code;
Trv II ON Whistle

A code of signals based on the
Morse telegraph code and intended
principally for the use Of drivers
of motor cars, has been published
by o. M. Moore Of Hoquiam,
Wash, who suggests that all car
drivers adopt standard set
of signals we'll known to one an
other and which will soon become
familiar to pedestrians as well.
The signals may be conveyed in
various ways, as with a whistle,
horn or other wind instrument or
flashlights. For instance in APP
preaching a street corner or inter-
section, one long blast indicates,
going straight ahead one short,
followed by a long blast, indicates
turn to the right, two shorts and a
long one indicate turn to the left,
and so on with other combinations.

The Eagles Brood.

1--WE come, o men of bleeding France
I To do our bit, to fight, to share;
Our Eagles sweep the redeemed seas,
Swift-winged and true, they cleave
tie air;
And over all, the Grand Old Flag,
Torn from arches of the night,
Streams like splendid orihamme
Above the battle-hosts of Right.
Beleaguered comrades, hold the line.
The flag is coming, shining still
AS when it shone at Lexington,
AS when it cleaned at Bunker Hill,
The flag for which your Lafayette
And Rochambeau drew sword and
lance,
\ Is flying now for those who fight
For freedom and for stricken France
o brothers in the common cause
or liberty beyond the seas,
Lift up your eyes and catch the CLEAN
OF glory streaming in the breezel
Somewhere along the far-hung line
or trench and barricade it shines
In warike splendor, red and white
And blue above the battle lines,
The Eagles wings are spread for
fight,
Once more is born its warlil1e mood
Somewhere in France the Eagles
Flag
Is carried by the Eagles brood
God save the Flag. that those who die
May not have fought and died in
vain;
God give our Eagles brood the
strength
I To win--to save the Flag from
stain!
