Educating Children.

Too many people get their minds
concentrated on business cares, and
fail to give the consideration neces-
sary to the question of educating the
children.
This is the biggest problem in any
home blessed with youngsters. Too
many people who have been very
successful in business, are letting the
children 90 to work or run loose,
perhaps taking them out of school
before they have had any high school
education. No matter how much
money such people have made, they
have not done their share to build
up the community.

Grip.

Grip usually starts just the same
as cold with waterv discharge
from the nose You are much more
likely to contract the grip when you
have a cold. For that reason when
grip is prevalent you should go to
bed as soon as you feel that you are
taking cold and stay in bed until
fully recovered which should not be
long if you take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Three days in bed
now is better than three weeks later

SUBWAYS FOR AUTOS
| PREDICTED IN LONDON

An underground system of roads
for automobiles, to relieve the
growing traffic congestion on Lon
don streets, was predicted by Lord
Ashfield of Soutiwell in a speech at
the American Luncheon Club re-
Gently.
These roads, he suggested, could
be connected with the outer dis
tricts of the metropolis by a system
of bouleyards, which would be used
| exclusively for motor traffic.
London today is the greatest
riding city in the world, said Lord
Ashfield. Roads capable of dealing
with 375,000 motor cars must be
provided soon, he said. He also pre-
dicted an increase in the number
and size of underground railways
for London, besides the underground
motor roads.
"You never know what the fellow
ahead intends to do. You would
save a lot of accidents IL you knew

ehead of you wanted to tack from
starboard to port or stop, or back

When a boat wants to go ahead
II gives two blasts of the whistle.
When II wants to back up or stop. it
gives three blasts.

carry an anchor .and hauser. to let

NORWAY PLANS
TO SAVE ROADS
Law Proposed to Prevent
Use of Solid Tires on
Heavy Trucks.

Norway is the first country in the
world to propose national legisla-
tion that will specify that motor
trucks. up to two tons capacity,
must be equipped with pneumatic
tires so as to prevent damage to
roads and to cut down the excess
sive cost of highway repairs due to
the use of solid tires.
Cable advices indicate that the
proposed legislation will be adopted
in the near future. In fact. motor
trucks shipped abroad by American
manufacturers have already been
refused admission because they did
not conform to the new wheel and
tire specifications.
All automobiles used for CONNER
cial purposes must be equipped with
/ tires of at least five-inch tread on
all four wheels. This means that
up to two tons, trucks must be
pneumatically equipped; from two
| to three and a half tons either
pneumatic or solid equipment OF
more than five-inch tires is permis-
sible, while trucks of over three and
half tons weight may run on
solids.
At present there is some doubt
whether or not the new law will
apply to city streets, pending legis-
lation being particularly directed
against the use of tires of less than
five tread on country roads. The
Norwegian government estimates
that unless action is taken to spe-
city the sizes OF tire widths, the
country roads will be totally spoiled
within two years.
The new legislation will affect
motor truck manufacturers particu-
larly, but in some cases the only
change necessary in truck tire
equipment will be greater tire
width on front wheels-the rear
wheels already complying with the
provision of the new law.
1t is expected that this legislation
will be effective from the summer
| of 1920
