when the streets are slippery the
safest practice Is to use tire chains,

Never apply the brakes suddenly un-

THE best method is to keep your
foot of the clutch pedal, leaving the
clutch in engagement, and then when
you wish to apply the brakes. take
your foot on the throttle, close the

This expression from Edward w.
McManus was the keynote of all the
remarks that were made at the BAN
quet given to the returned overseas
men of the old Company /, by Mrs.
&c. w. Hewitt last night.
To use the expression of many OF
the soldiers-it was some feed. They
had supposed that It would be i'm
possible to gather together as many
varieties of food at one time, and in
such prodigous quantities.
In fact the affair turned out to be
almost as much tribute to the
donor as to the guests-for the
guests insisted on making it that.
And there was good fellowship,
too. 1t was the first time that the
bows of Keokuk's company had been
together for two years. They were
separated into different units soon
after leaving here and some of them
had not seen each other since.

CONTROL OF WIRE TAKEN
OVER LAST NOVEMBER.
President Approves Action of Post
master General Burleson in Re-
turning Gable Systems to
Private Ownership.

Washington. II Postmaster General
Burleson issued an order on April 20,
providing for the return of the Amer
lean cable systems to their private
owners on May ?. Control and opera
ton of all American cable systems was
taken over by the government last
| November.
The postmaster general, in making
public the. formal order, issued a state
ment reiterating his announcement
that the telephone and telegraph lines,
taken over last July, would be re-
turned as soon as legislation could
be obtained from congress safeguard
ing the interests of the owners. Mr..
Burleson said his views were not
changed, but, as it is apparent these
views were not shared by the new
congress, the only step was to return
the systems.
Government control of the cable
lines has been exercised in the midst
of controversies, legal action to re-
strain the postmaster general from
Selling their lines having been filed
in a New York federal court by the
Commercial Cable and the CONNER
ciaI Pacific Gable companies, which
asserted that, while the presidential
proclamation taking over the lines was
signed November ., the actual seizure
was made November 16, five days
after the signing of the armistice,
when, the companies commended, no
need for such action existed. The
New York courts refused to issue the
restraining order, and appeal was tax
en- to the United States supreme court.
Approval by the president of Post
master General Burleson's recommen-
dations that the telegraph and tele-
phone lines be returned was an
nounced April % at the White House.
