ROOSEVELT'S MANLINESS

An episode that reveals Theodore
Roosevelt's manliness and leadership
over other men lis graphically de-
scribed by A. w. Merrifield, who was
Colonel Roosevelt's ranch partner at
the time that the future president was
in the cattle business along the Little
Missouri river in what was then the
territory of Dakota. This was thirty
three years ago, and Roosevelt was
at that time only twenty-six years of
age.
"One night" says Mr.. Mortified,

Medora, and all the boys OF our out
fit and most of the other cowpunch-
ers in the roundup rode into town
and got to drinking. Roosevelt rode
to town himself later in the evening.

for the crowd-although he never

NEW ORLEANS TO HAVE
NEW STEAMSHIP LINE
To Handle Shipments from and for
Entire South.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-New Orleans
is to have new steamship line which
will begin operations early next month
the entire south. according to pub
lished announcement here today. The
vessels of the new line will operate
from Philadelphia and New Orleans
through the Panama canal to Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu.
The new line is reported to have the
financial backing of steel interests of
Philadelphia and is made possible by
the present rail rate on steel products
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
which is S1.37 IL per hundred pounds.
The water route it is declared, will
cut this rate almost in half. The
names of the steamships which will
be placed on the route will be an
nounced soon.
On the eastward run from the Pa
cific coast the ships will bring sugar
from Honolulu and canned goods,
dried ruits and other products of the
western coast. The ships will stop at
New Orleans and discharge part of
their cargo of merchandise destined
for places in the south, then take on
rice. cotton and other southern pro-
ducts for Philadelphia. On the west
ern run the steamships will take out
cargo for New Orleans and other
southern points and iron, steel and
manufactured goods for the Pacific
coast.

OPENINGS IN HOOD

Louvres Keep Temperature at
Point Of Greatest Efficiency.
Sits In Sides Of Metal Hoods Are Not

sence Means Lack Pressure

In the mind of more than one man
who owns and drives his own motor
car the Sits cut In the sides of the
metal hood are purely a fad of the
automobile designer, and excuse their
existence by making n rakish looking
bonnet. Judging from externals. 1t
might seem that this Us the case,
since In u number Of automobiles the
hood openings, or louvres, either have
lost caste completely, or have been so
reduced In number as to lose any hint
Of significance.
The louvre, nevertheless, Is srnthcr
an important factor in keeping the
motor temperature ut point that per
mits the car to operate at Its great
est efficiency. The air that has warmed
in passing over the engine finds Its
exit to the outer atmosphere through
these openings, and In this way opens
u path FOR a constant stream of fresh,
cool air above the working parts.

Different WAYS
TO SHIFT GEARS
Some Good Advice for Beginners
With a Few "Don'ts" That
Are Worth While.
SOME OF The Difficulties
Expert May Be Able to Perform Task
Without Disastrous ResuIts-Sug.
eestions That viii Eliminate
Wear and Tear.

Thousands of motorists. each sea-
son, are having their first experience
In the operating of sliding gear trans
missions. Changing gears Is a matter
OF some little difficulty I'm the begin
ming at least, and II Is n fact that
quite a proportion of operators never
learn to shift gears quietly and to the
best advantage.
There are n few difficulties which
the inexperienced driver should be
warned against, among which are the
following:
Some Difficulties.
Attempting To shift from one gear
to another without first throwing out
the clutch. An expert may he able to
do this without noise or disastrous
results but. In general, It should never
be attempted. Attempting to shift

clutch shaft comes to rest. Trying to

stop. Attempting To change from neu-
trail to low gear with the car at rest
and the engine running too fast.
Among other "don'ts" FOR the I'M
skilled operator of sliding gears arc
these:
Don't fail to know exactly where
the "revcrse" position of the gear
shift lever Is, and don't fail scrupu.
lousy TO avoid this position. so long

Don't try to change from high gear
to low without letting the car nearly

Don't fail to speed up the car some.

gestions will eliminate much unneces.

TransmissiOns. as built today, are

that two gears cannot he forced int
