5000 SALOONS QUIT
BUSINESS IN OHIO
One Hundred and Sixty-Three
Pay $3O5 License to Keep
Open One More Day.
ALL CLOSE MONDAY

e COLUMBUS. Ohio. May 24.-Ohio to-
night threw her hat into the prohibi-
ton ring. Although constitutional
prohibition does not become effective
until next Tuesday, all but 1853 of the
$500 saloons in the state quit BUSH
ness tonight at midnight rather than
pay the 1905 license in order to keep
open next Monday for the one day.
Every wet center in the state to-
night gave farewell parties" to John
Barleycorn. Some few saloons closed
their doors early rather than attempt
to weather the closing festivities.
Bars Do Rushing Business.
All bars did a rushing business and
as the closing hour of midnight drew
near some auctioned off their remain
ing stock of wet goods. The END"
Few saloons closed with full stocks
Prevailing high prices did not tum-
bic. II at all, until near the midnight
hour. 1t was case of long live the
king: the king is dead-almost" To-
night was considered the death of the
saloon in Ohio, and but few postponed
their last party until Monday. Only
few of the larger hotel bars and
saloons In the bigger cities will be
open Monday
goodly number of the saloons
closed tonight will reopen Monday or
some time in the near future as soft
drink bars and restaurants. Most Of
them will retain their saloon fixtures,
but the goods sold will be minus the
kick" of former days. 1t will be
mostly pop. ginger ale and near beer.
Many of the breweries will manufac-
ture ice and go into the cold storage
business.
Biggest Saloon Runs Another Day.
The biggest saloon in the world, To-
Gated at Bridgeport. Ohio. will not
close it's doors until Monday midnight.
1t is owned by Samuel Ungerleider
and employs seventy-seven bartenders
and clerks. For the past four years it
has sold an average of 10000 drinks a
day.
Ohio is now the biggest state in the
country to have prohibition. taking the
record away from Michigan. The
state was voted dry on last November
4 by a majority of more than $4,000.

up the cable. the light truck put on
power to steady the ditched truck.
and the machine walked out on the
third attempt, to the solid roar. The
power OF two trucks was therefore
used to climb the embankment. while
the third truck was merely a
"steadier."
In ditched truck, 1t will often be
found unnecessary to unload any Of
the cargo which is securely dashed.
A cable or heavy rope thrown around
the body OF the truck, attached to a
solid post on the opposite side on the
road. will serve to bring the truck
right side up. without unloading. The
use OF block and tackle on the cable
thrown around the truck body will
make 1t possible to pull the truck to
its feet again. and then the problem
Is only that OF traction.
The fault of too many drivers is in
their failure to realize the tremen-
dous power that can be applied to
the driving wheels. II the wheels are
given something on which to get a
grip.

One rclaxes then, perhaps for the
first time in many months, and that
tired, haunted look that men wear
becomes softened. and the sharp
lines cut by worry fade gradually
away. A stop perhaps Is made at
some old rustic inn. and there Is an.
other surprise-that vanished friend,
the appetite, has suddenly returned.
The simple country things are so
good when one is really hungry. and
n table out under the trees brings a
sense of rest and peace. And then,
when one is quite ready-no need to
hurry-on thru the lanes and high
ways up to the mountains and into
the great silent forests. Here the
road is a bit rutty. perhaps, but that
does not matter. The cool green Of
the canopy Of trees enfolds and en-
closes us: and now n little lake comes
into sight, silver and pure, and cold,
with n reflection of the trees along
its edge almost meeting as they thrust
out into the water. SO calm, so cool,
SO restful, It is so very good to be
here.

poetry in the long. quiet aisles of the

AYERST LIKES
SEATTLE BEST

Old time Seattleites may have
thought u was hot this Last
week, but II we may take the
word Of Alfred q. Ayerst. Ford
dealer. our warm days were cool
and refreshing beside the torrid
heat Of the East and Middle
West.
Ayerst spent over six weeks
ON = trip that took In most Of
the larger cities Of the country,
and voices the universal senti
ment that business conditions are
excellent all over, with the ex.
ception Of minor labor troubles
In certain localities.
At Detroit Mr.. Ayerst spent
his time In getting a personal
idea Of the manner In which
Ford cars are built and Assem-.
bled. and gained many new ideas
for application to his business In
this city. An army Of $1,000
men are now turning out 5000
Fords daily, and production Of
the Liberty starter Is rapidly ap-
proching the point where this
device will be installed on all
Fords.
Seattle Ford agencies are on .
par with any In the United
States, and In point Of service
are on . much higher plane, In
the opinion o. Ayerst.

Quick Action Is Vital When
Minor Road Accidents Occur

Sans soldier chauffeurs in an Amer
lean motor truck school. A convoy
of trucks was out on the road on
night drive. preparing for service In
France. One OF the leading trucks
was mired, when the driver tried to
climb out OF a rut. and the front
wheels merely piled up the mud In
front. like a snow.scraper. Momen-
tum was lost and the truck stuck.
One OF the drive wheels was on hard
ground. the other In the mire. The
truck was empty. and all efforts to
move the truck on its own power re-
suited merely In spinning OF the
wheel in the mire. The drive wheel
on firm ground idled. After half an
hour OF experimenting. work with
shovels and the like. the driver put
dozen husky soldiers in the truck.
so that their weight was on the spin
ming wheel. Then. giving the truck
the gun. the mired wheel had trac-
ton, being forced down to hard soil
under the slime. and the power was
applied both to the wheel on the hard
ground. and to that in the mud. and
the truck rolled out like a factory
test run on concrete.
The truck in the ditch is as much
a problem OF load as Of truck. An.
other army experiment is a lesson
on this point. A driver found his
truck slipping over a high embank.
ment A dozen men were In danger
Of being pinned by capsizing truck.
Instead Of trying to hold the truck
out Of the ditch, when he found 1t In
danger. he threw the vehicle. head
on. into two feet Of water. but avert
ed the overturning of the machine.
The power of any average truck was
shown by the work done In getting
this vehicle on the road once more.

high that the top Of the truck cover
was level with the road. and yet an.
other truck, also Of the 1 u ton type,
pulled the truck to the road once
more. and sent 1t on its way In 20
| minutes.
Here was the method: The heavy
truck attached its towing cable to
the rear end Of the ditchcd truck. A
light supply truck. %-ton ambu.
lance type machine, known to the
French as a "camionette." threw
long rope around the side OF the
truck. to prevent 1t from capsizing on

into reverse. the towing truck picked

II is not. But our lives will become
increasingly difficult and impractic-
able IL we do not do these things.
That much Is certain.
The automobile will do all this for
us easily. quickly and pleasantly.
Thru it's use we may be restored and
rejuvenated mentally and physically.
The poisons will be cleared from US.
