Gevoting his best energy to army life
and army work and when he learned
recently that he had been checked
up as deserter he Immediately got
busy and things were soon righted.
Kniggee tells about 1t in a letter
to Sheriff Lewis Worker, chairman
of the Local Board. He states that
when located last spring at Camp
Merritt he transferred from the in
fultry to the Medical Corps and went
to Port Jarvis, N. Y, where he has
since been stationed. He is located
in the U. S. general hospital there
and didn't like to have the impression
that he had deserted .And was under

OWNER HELD LIABLE
FOR SPEED OF MOTOR
Gist of Important Case Decided
Some Years Ago.
II He Is Occupant Of Vehicle He Is
Held by Court to Have Permitted
Vlolatlon-operator Is Usual
Iy Punished.

Few automobile owners know or
realize that If they are driving and their
driver should overspeed their car they
may be charged with o~verspeeding or
operating unlawfully as well as the
driver himself.
This liability exists because 1t is pre-
sumed, a y the New England Motor
list, on account of his being in the ma
chine and having a general control
thereof as registered owner, that he
knew and allowed his vehicle to be IL
legally u
This was the gist of an important
case decided some years ago where the
owner, who was seated in the %tonneau,
was summoned to court for overspeed-
ing.
Owner Found Guilty.
The court held that he could be
found guilty, moi because he was own
er, but because of the fact that al reg.
istered owner of the machine, with
the consequent right to control 1t while
riding therein, he was presumed to
have participated in the vehicle being
run at an unlawful speed, and unless
this presumption against him were ex-
planned or contradicted, the jury would
be warranted in believing he did so
participate in the drivers act, and in
finding him therefore guilty.
Apparently, then. If the owner were
riding in front beside the driver II
would be harder for him to explain
that he did not know and allow and
I1-a~ ,r&tntnnfn In thu fn0uo1 nrt
than If he were seated elsewhere in
the car.
When, too, the operator is the chauf.
feur of the owner in the automobile
the fact of employment, involving the
right of the latter to direct and con-
troll the former, would make the pre-
sumption stronger than in the case
where this relationship did not exist.
When Not Guilty.
But in either or n case, where II
could be proved that the owner or per.
son in charge of the automobile, al
though riding therein, was not likely
to know and did not do or say any
| thing to direct or control it, or rs to
how the driver should manage 1t, the
owner or person in charge might not
be found to have participated in the
drivers unlawful act.
The enforcing authorities, however,
usually confine their complaint to the
operator, preferring In such cases mo-
to raise these additional questions In
court. Nevertheless, the owner or per.
son in charge of the machine should
keep them in mind, otherwise an un.
pleasant surprise may await him.

FRENCH LAuD AMERICAN vALoR.
After U. S. Troops Gust Foe From
Ground Won in Lorraine.

Washington, March II. - German
troops in their attack on Lorraine on
the night of March 4 twice gained a
footing in the American trenches, only
to be driven out in fierce fighting. An
official dispatch from France giving
the French view of the encounter said
the Americans showed a rare quality
of courage, self-possession and calm
bravery which won them the admira-
ton Of the neighboring French troops
and the hearty congratulations of the
French high command"
Newton D. Baker, the American sec.
rotary of war, with a staff of seven
persons, arrived at a French seaport
on an American armored cruiser.
German attacks failed in the Bots
lie Petre Reillon and L%etricourt sec.
tors, according to the Paris official
statement issued by the war office.
The American army has lost 95S
men in France and 5,763 men in the

LOOSE NUTS ON WINDSHIELD
Sometimes Caused by Vibration and
Finish Cracks in Vicinity Of
Shield Supports.

On many makes of cars the wind
shield is held in place by steel arms
which protrude through the cowl and
are fastened on the under side by a
nut and lock nut. Sometimes these
nuts work loose from the vibration
present, with the result that the shield
is allowed to move slightly. The first
evidence of this is seen in cracked fin
ish in the vicinity of the windshield
supports. In making the necessary
periodic inspection for loose nuts and
bolts these windshield supports should
not be forgotten.

Keep the Refrigerator Clean

chore some housekeepers leave I'M

And then they wonder why food
does not keep well on ice, or why
some members of the family are i'll
most of the time,
"Since the refrigerator is a
place to store food, it should be
kept perfectly clean, says Miss
Agnes Ellen Harris of the Univer-
sitv of Florida extension division.
(Which means that it should be
kept as clean as the dishes that go
on the table. Wash it thoroughly
at least once a week with hot
soapsuds and scald with hot soda
water. Several times during the
week, rinse it out with cold wa

To clean the drain pipe use L
brush made for the purpose, or a
cloth over the end of stick. See
that the trap is kept clean and
that it stays in place. Wash the
shelves when you clean the rest of
the refrigerator, and if drop OF
food is spilled wash it up at once.
A good refrigerator should keep
food at a temperature of about
fifty degrees Fahrenheit. If you
cover the ice with paper or cloth
the temperature will not be this
low, for ice does not cool anything
to low degree except by melt
ing. When the ice is kept cover

air circulating through the refrig-
orator is not properly cooled be-
cause it does not come into con-
tact with the ice.

raising of hogs in the grove; the

sTERILIZE OLD SEED BEDS
If They Are to be Used Again
Make Them Safe

The greatest trouble growers
have in raising seedlings is caused
by the seed bed diseases. Damp
ing off, the most important of
them, is caused by several fungi,
chief of which is RhizoctOnia.
This fungus lives and propagates
in the soil and unless care is exer-
cised in selecting the seed bed or
in treating it, trouble is apt to re-
suit.
C. D. Sherbakoff of the Univer-
sity Of Florida experiment station
names the following conditions as
being favorable to the develop
ment of the diseases Damp wealth

er; repeated cropping of suscepti-
BILE plants, and nearly all of the
vegetables seem to be susceptible;
and too thick sowing. The disease
may be prevented by making the
seed beds on new land. New land
is usually plentiful in all parts of
the state and it should be used
whenever possible. New land may
not be entirely free from disease
but there is a likelihood that it is.
Then, too, it is a good practice to
sow the seed thinly so that mois-
ture conditions will not be favora-
BILE to the development of fungi.
If the plants are not too close to-
gether they will make better
growth and be more resistant not
only in the bed but under field
conditions.
If the old land must be used it
should be sterilized. This can be
done by sprinkling the soil with a
solution Of ! gallon Of formalin to
so gallons Of water, applied at the
rate of one-half gallon to the
square foot. This treatmenc
should be given several days be-
fore the seed are to be sown 50
that the formalin will have evap-
Grated before the seeds are plant
ed. 1t might be well to cover the
bed with cloth to prevent too rap
lid evaporation until the formalin
has had chance to do its work.
Formalin can be had from whole
sale drug companies in large
quantities much cheaper than at
retail. Several farmers might CO.
ioperate in buying their supply,
| If brush is at hand the bed may
be sterilizcd by burning. Once
the disease gets into the plants
there is not much that can be
done. 1t may help some to spray
such patches as may become dis
eased with bordeaux mixture, blu,
if care is used in selecting or ster-
ilizing the bed, this will not be
necessary.
