SPEED OF A M0ToRcAR.
Fast Running, Besides the Danger
Piles Up the Cost.

Fast Running, Besides the Danger,
Piles Up the Cost.
"The driver who persists In operat-
ing his motorcaI at high speed may
elude constabes and police" says q
writer In the Farm and Fireside, ''but
he cannot escape from the penalties
which natural mechanical laws levy
upon his car. Here are ten reasons
why 1t is expensive, dangerous and In
considerate OF others to speed:
Tires last about twice as long ON q
car that is driven at fifteen miles an
hour as upon cars driven nc thirty
miles an hour. Speeding generates
heat which is an enemy to rubber.
Driving car around sharp cor
ner at twenty-five miles an hour does
more damage TO the tires than 200
miles OF straight road work. Excess
sive side pressure on tires may pinch
the tubes, and IL always strains the
side walls OF the castings.
High speeds are likely 20 cause
skidding and breakage OF springs and
steering gear, any or which are dan
gerous when speeding.
I'm proportion TO the mileage obtain
ed, high speeds require more gasoline
and oil than a moderate rate. OF trav.
cling.
Driving a car at excessive speed.
especially over rough roads, subjects
the bearings TO enormous strains.
High speed may cause crystalliza-
don OF rapidly moving metal parts that
are subject to strain, and these may
break at any time without warning.
High speed interferes with the ac-
curacy OF steering, as is shown by the
number OF reckless drivers who have
gone over banks and into bitches. es-
on curves.
1T is a strain on the eyes ana the
nerves OF the driver and also OF the
other passengers in the car.
Finally it is a menace to the pleas
ure and safety OF others who use the
road.
THE majority of modern motorcars
develop their maximum efficiency with
'owest expense at speeds ranging from
fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour,
depending on the make OF car and
OF the road"

THE UMBRELLA AN ILLUSION /?

The psychology Of the umbrella is
worth studying. 1t does not really, of
course, protect the Individual from the
rain. 1t does little more than shelter
bis head. The rain strikes his legs and
his body just the same. But it saves
the rain from striking ones face, which
Is disagreeable. 1t gives a certain illu-
sion Of shelter and thus shelters the
psychology more than 1t does the body.
We now have waterproofed clothing.
which is much more effective protec.
don than the umbrella, but people go
on buying and using umbrellas just the
same. Their bodies do not really need
them, but their minds have become ac-
customed to them. Meanwhile letter
carriers and policemen go without
them and do not seem to get any wet

It is probable that a colored umbrella
protects a woman's psychology In
rafnstorm better than q black umbrel-
la would. Having chosen the color in
accordance with fashion and her own
taste in tints. she has, as 1t were. a
canopy Of consciousness over her, az

other hand, black umbrella is a bet.

SURGEONS AS THEY FEED.
Peculiar Way These Big Fish Attack
and Absorb Their PREY.

II
The sturgeon feeds along muddy bot
toms on small shell6sh, water weeds
and bottom fishes. According to the
geological Society Bulletin, its method
OF feeding is peculiar. Underneath the
snout and near the point OF it are four
barbels, or "feelers," about two and
half inches long and placed about three
quarters OF an inch apart across the
snout. 1t swims with the snout close
to the bottom, which allows the barbels
to trail along on the sand or mud.
Whenever the barbels touch the pro-
truding siphons OF the soft shelled
clam or the razor clam the siphons or
the CLAIMS contract and by doing so
notify the sturgeon of their presence.
1t halts and with its telescope mouth
pumps the sand or mud away from
the clam, passes it out OF the gill open
ings and finally draws the clam from
Its resting place into fits jaws and
there brushes it. The larger portions
OF the shell it discards through the gill
openings, but IL the CLAIMS are small 1t
discards very little OF the shell, but
swallows nearly all Of It.
Another way the sturgeon has or
feeding is to plow a furrow through
the sand or mud with fits long pointed
snout, then to turn round and go back /.
through the furrow and pick up what
ever small mollusks and crustaceans
1t may have exposed. IL also sucks up
with its protruding mouth great guam
tides OF sand and mud, sits them
through Its gills and thereby finds
many small organisms upon which it
feeds.

COURAGE In Elephants.

TO KEEP SOLDIER
BOYS SMILING
The Courier Reporter is Asked
to Conduct Campaign in
This District


gerous foe is the man who smiles
at you while he fights. If that
be so then we want to send the
American boys over the top with
a smile on their faces. We want
to keep their spirits up, their
thoughts clean and their bodies
healthy. We want to furnish
them with clean, wholesome
amusements while they are in
camp. To do this we are going
to get back of the n att ona !
"smileage" campaign which will
start next Monday, Jan. %, and
end February 2.
The following letter to the edi-
tor of the Courier reporter from
the headquarters of the Military
Entertainment Council in this
state explains briefly what the
campaign is:
"You have been chosen by the
War Department as their repre-
sentative to help the soldiers.
On you alone, depends what your
city and county will do to pur-
chase Smileage books for the
men in army environments in this
country and those over seas. 1t
is the greatest compliment that !
has ever been paid the Fourth
Estate" to be chosen to do this
great work.
"Smileage books! Do you know
what they are? They are cou-
pom books of five and one dollar
denominations, consisting of five
cent coupons to be placed on sale
during the week of January 20
to February 2.
''The Smileage book is issued
by the War Department, en-
dorsed by President Wilson, and
as its unique title indicates, is
the solution of the problem of
how the friends at home may
send an unceasing round of pleas !
ure to our boys in the camps, and .
at no distant date, to those in
France.
cts immediate purpose is to
furnish admission to the splen-
did program of comedy, drama, ,
vaudeville, light opera and bril- :
liant lectures which has been ar ,
ranged for presentation in the /,
Liberty theatres and Chautau- !
qua tents of the 81 camps and :
,antonments of the National :
Guard and National Army.
The ultimate purpose of those !
1t the head of the Military En- !
ertainment council is to first ex- :
end these splendid entertain :
nents to every branch of the =
service of both army and navy at 9
lone and abroad. The use of :
he Smileage books has been ex- =
ended so they may be used as .
