Historical Club Meets

The Department of History of the
I Historical Club met with Mrs. Ken
drick Friday afternoon. There were
fourteen present. Mrs. Livingston
gave an interesting talk on patriotic
work accomplished in Moscow and La
tab county. Knowing the energy and
ability of the women of the north
west to achieve wonderful results,
especially when their whole being was
filled with the desire to lend all pos
sible aid to our brave soldiers-one
could believe the written reports of
what had been accomplished by the
patriotic women of Latah county.
Some of the smaller towns even out
did their sisters of the larger places.
After social time, when refresh
ments were served, the meeting adj
journed.

batteries is the way they hang on and
keep giving service right up to the
minute when they refuse to work at
ALL
"These folks reason" says Mr.. E.
c. Hall, local Willard Service Sta
ton dealer, chat the light ought to
get a little weaker and start a little
slower until the battery gradually
wears out.
Sometimes a battery acts that
way, but another one may keep right
on working until it is actually ready
to fall to pieces. When the cells are
opened up for inspection, the active
material is in some cases so broken
up that it will not hold together
This may be due either to old age or
abuse. Of course, we never open
up battery without the owners
consent, but a battery in this con-
dition could not last a great while
and might go out of service at any
time on the road"
Most car owners are anxious to
know the truth about their batteries
and prefer to have brand new bat
terry when they know their old one
is approaching the decline.

papers recently | noticed that while
other cars were praised highly Tin
their advertisements) for the good
work done in overseas service, moth
ing was said of the Dodge car.
81 have been over here on active
service for year and have been driv-
ing a Dodge Brothers Sedan for the
last eight months. This little car has
made $4,000 miles and has never been
laid up for motor, transmission or any
other car trouble. It's work during
this time can not be praised too high
iy. In all the big battles of the Third
Division, namely, Chateau-Thierry
ST. Mihiel and Argonne, the little
Dodge has never once failed to re-
spond. In the last American cam
paign l have driven it up hills and
through roads where other cars of
higher price were forced to detour.
| have been through roads with mud
right to the hubcaps and places where
only tanks and artillery tractors could
make their way.
81 am sure if decorations were Civ
en- to motor vehicles on their geed
work performed in war service, the
Dodges that are on duty with the A.
E. F. would receive the lions share.
Although her beauties were marred
many times by shrapnel holes, she is !
still on the job with the Army on the
Rhine. Have used only two sets of
tires in all the $4,000 miles and the
roads of northern France are very
different from Riverside Drive. AS
FOR oil, / have used from the thin
nest grade to the heaviest transmits

S a wonderful record for car that
S so low in price.

little satisfaction for
he valuable work of their car in the

Compelling evidence of the warm
admiration held for Dodge Brothers
motor car by the members of the
American Expeditionary Forces, is
contained in an endless succession of
letters received by the Detroit man

every rank. More than $4,000 Dodge
Brothers motor cars served with the
American army and the following
letter is typical of the comments of
those who saw the car in action:

and in company with Local Agent Ar
nett called on many Wallace business
men. Regarding the ''bug'' service,
Mr.. Elliott said that he had no infor-
mation the matter still being in the
hands of the state utilities commits
sion. AS an indication of the business
revival in the Coeur dAlene district
since the strike was called off. Mr. Ell
lott mentioned the increased sale of
tickets I'm Spokane for Kellogg and
Wallace. He said that from noon last
Saturday until last Monday morning
1856 tickets were sold to these two
points, whereas the usual sales for
that period would not be more than
30. This increase was due to the re-
turn of men to work in the mines.
Incidentally Mr.. Elliott mentioned
the promotion OF III. M. Adams to the
position of traffic manager Of the
Union Pacific system, with headquar-
ters at Omaha. At one time Mr.
Adams held the position of district
freight and passenger agent of the o.

The state of Idaho will raise $20,-
900 to aid in erecting a suitable mem
orial in honor of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, and of this sum Shoshone
county will contribute $1705. This is
a small sum for this great county to
raise in honor of the memory of one
whose heart was always in sympathy
with the west, and who perhaps more
than any other man exemplifled the
high ideals of American citizensip.
The plan is to raise this fund by pop

will be given a life membership card

and each school child Who contributes
will be given special certificate The
movement Is wholly partisan

EXPLOSIVE ACT.
Many Protests Being Filed Against Its
Passage.

Many letters are being sent to Ida
no senators and congressman urging
them to oppose the enactment of SEN
ate bill No. 1896, known as the REV
enue Explosive Act of 1919" The pro-
posed law follows the lines of the war
measure for regulating the handling
of explosives, for which there was a
sembance of excuse, but which prov
ed to be farce so far as its announc-
ed purpose was concerned. 1t provid-
ed political Job in every state for
some deserving democrat, without re-
gard to his qualifications as an explo-
sive inspector caused much inconven-
ience to all persons handling explo-
sives, but was absolutely useless so
far as preventing explosives getting
into the hands of enemies OF the
government. The law now proposed
provides for a long list of well paid
officers to administer the law, and not
only requires all persons who use ex-
plosives to obtain a license but per-
sons who desire to purchase ingredi-
ents that enter into the manufacture
of explosives must also have license
The license requirement will not pre-
vent any man who wants to make ar
improper use of explosives from ac-
complishing his purpose, but 1t viii
impose real inconvenience and Otter
hardship upon the miner and pros,
pector. As revenue measure, 1t sim
ply means the placing of an addition
al tax on the industry using explo'
sives, and the funds will be largely
used In paying salaries to a horde o.
useless officers holding positions Gre
ated by the act. The bin should b'
defeated.
