PLAY TT SAFE
AEs those French!

Better be safe than sorry" applies particu-
larly to motor car driving.
Figure not only that you are going to do the
right thing. Take into consideration that the
other man may do the wrong one. Check up on
the possibilities.
When you cross a railway track, better do as
the sign says: "Stop, Look and Listen" Be
sure there's no approaching train on the tracks
Be sure that your motor isn't going to stall on
the tracks too. Failure to be particularly care
full of railway crossings results in thousands of
deaths year in this country.
And in cities and towns: Don't start from
the curb, forward or backward, without seeing
to it that the coast is clear. Watch the cross
streets and slow down when you cross so as to
have the car under full control.
Always-always- out Of common courtesy,
dim the lights when you approach another car
at night.
Don't cut corners in turning street corners.
Keep to your side and so give the other fellow
a chance. Pass a slow or moving car to its left,
but keep to the right of street cars.
Signal car following you, or a possible car
following you with your hand when about to
turn or to slow down.
Don't crowd another auto It might stop
suddenly and you'd be into it before you could
do thing.
But the main thing in running an auto is to
and good judgment are interlocking attributes
for the car driver who hopes to die natural
death.

Turks are Learning
to Talk English

Constantinople-Tne Germans have
failed in their effort to stamp out their
culture upon the Turk, and instead the
English language is beginning to rank
next to French in the commercial life
of the Levant.
Turkish is but little used in i'm
portant commercial transactions in
Constantinople, as nearly all business
men of whatever nationality speak
French. The English who have been
in business in Turkey for years gem
orally transact business in French.
Since the war, however, there has
been great influx of American trad
ers who know only English and the
steady stream of American ships COM
ing to ConstantinopIe with English
speaking crews, as we'll as American
Red Grass workers and American and
English relief workers of various sorts,
has created a greater demand for the
English language. For years the Eng
lish have maintained a boys high
school and girls high school in Con-
stantinople. Robert college and the
Constantinople College for Women,
both American institutions, have done
much to advance English as a medium
for higher education. And now the
Young Mems Christian Association
and Young Women's Christian Assoeia-
ton are offering variety of day and
night classes for persons desiring to
acquire English.

Marine Men Predtic
Heavy Lake Traffic
Commercial Experts Believe Railroad
Congestion VIII Make Water
Popular.

Detroit Unusually heavy early
shipping on the Great Lakes due
largely to railroad traffic congestion
and the recent railroad switchmen's
strike, has led marine men to believe
that the 1920 season will set new
high records both for total volume of
freight handled on the lakes as we'll
as for individual ship loads.
At the request of the interstate com
merce commission the war time pool.
under which Lake Carriers members
viii combine their equipment for coal
handling, has been revived. The re-
quest from the commission is taken in
itself as an indication of exceptionally
heavy traffic on the lakes and leads
to the conclusion, according to lake
shippers, that the railway Transports
ton situation will present difficulties
which will divert much normal land
freight to the water.
All previous individual cargo records
were broken last year when freighter
cleared from Fort Williams with 503,-
156 bushels Of wheat. Later in the
season a coal carrier established a
new high mark for coal vessels by
taking 1882 tons from Toledo, O., to
Gary, Ind.

PAuL's FALL

Just why the president Of France fell out OF
a sleeping car window in his pajan1as remains
q mystery Quite likely President Wilson is
to blame He is accused of almost everything,
including the fact that Denvers census returns
were not as satisfactory as Colorado boosters
expected Undoubtedly Wilson had something
to do with the fall of Paul. Won't Congress
please investigate?
Meanwhile, the American reading public
notes with satisfaction that the president Of
France is again able to shave himself at Z a.
m. Doubtless it won't be long before he will
be able to entrust himself again to French
sleeper Would it not be wise, as well as eco
nomical, for him to ask henceforth for an upper
berth where there are no windows?
It is to be hoped the presidential experience
will not take him from the ranks of those who
believe in exercise and fresh air. Of course, to
start on a barefoot walk in pajamas along the
railroad track, picking cinders from ones face
while ones private train disappears in the dist
ance, and early dawn is discouraging.
Nevertheless, presidents, even Of France,
are made Of sterner stuff, and Paul Deschanel,
bordering over the stunt that made him world
famous and pretty sore, is not the kind of a
man to minimize the value Of early rising, de-
spite that blamed window, nor discount the
value Of exercise simply because railroad
right Of way is tough on bare feet.
Much has been said, and truthfully, Of the
politeness- Of the French. The presidential fall
to fame gives point to the praise. Did not the
wife of the section house keeper, to whom the
president introduced himself in search Of sue
cor, take him at his word and telephone for aid
What greater courtesy than to express no
doubt as to the identity Of the foot-sore, travel
worn and pajama-clad apparition who eased
himself thus back into civilization and eternal
fame
AIs those French!

HAVE A DOCTOR

The real business of lawyer is not to get
his clients out Of trouble, but to keep them
out.
The true business of doctor is not so much
to cure his patients as to keep them well. But
he can't do that unless he is consulted frequent
ly and fully. To see the doctor when something
seems to be going wrong is matter Of com
mon sense
1t does not mean that one always in1agines
he is sick; and it does not mean that he is not
as well able as other people to take care of
himself. 1t does mean that he recognizes his
own limitations He who is his own lawyer
has fool for client; and the saying applies
quite as well to him who is his own doctor
If you have doctor, trust him and let him
trust you. DO not tell him half the case and
hope that he viii not discover the rest. Do not
deceive him for fear that he viii recommend
something that you do not like. And do not

Bridge Is Triumph
of Engineering

Chicago. thousand tons of steel
Chicago's new boulevard link bridge,
settled into place recently with a
whirring of gears, and for the ninth
time in III years the north and south
ern Chicago were connected by direct
lake front route.
The north pier of the new bridge
rests almost on the spot where John
Kinzie moored his canoe beneath
willow tree. Three hundred feet away,
across the river the south pier rises
from the place where the other termi-
nal of Kinzie's first river link was
located beneath the log stockade of
Fort Dearborn.
The new bridge, double deck bas-
eule, or Jack knife" type, is triumph
of engineering skill. When the draw
is opened for passing ships, the two
immense leaves tower loo feet into
the air. A broad boulevard viaduct
leads to the upper level, reserved for
pleasure vehicles only, while trucks
and drays rumble over the lower pass
ageway. The bridge cost $16,0OO,0O0
and more than twenty years was spent
in its planning and construction.

FIND HERMIT
DEAD IN HUT
Charles Henry Barter Is
Found Dead This Morn
ing by Nephew.
IN FAILING HEALTH

Charles Henry Barter, aged 81 years,
a hermit, was found dead in his shack
just south Of the Mungen's Tavern in
the town of Pleasant Prairie just after
seven O'CLOCK this morning. His nep-
hew, William Barter, discovered the
body when he went to the hut to call
his uncle and investigation showed
that the man had been dead for sew
eral hours. The body was brought to
the Hansen mortuary in Kenosha
where it was prepared for burial.
The deceased had been in failing
health for several months and for this
reason his sudden death was not a
great surprise. He was last seen alive
on Monday afternoon when he talked
with his brother, Albert Barter, just
before going to his hut to retire. His
illness had been such that he could
not sleep while lying on his cot and
for several weeks he had slept in his
chair. The body was lying on the floor
where he had fallen when he had gone
to get a drink. 1t is believed that he
was attacked by heart failure, from
which h, s.sG suffered several attacks.

Ssnag Barter. had lived the life Of a
;sAcluse Cor several years. He was born
in Kenosha county, December "a, 1856
on the Barter homestead and had lived
there all of his life. In recent years
he had built himself a hut on his
own farm Of forty acres where he
had lived alone.
That he had a presentiment Of death
was evidenced by the fact that he
came to Kenosha on Friday with two
of his nephews and made transfer.
ence Of his property to them for $500
and an agreement that they should
give him $50 month as long as he
lived. Upon his visit to Kenosha he
was so weak that he was forced to rest
| after reaching an Office in the city.
Coroner Parker, who made an inves.
| tigation Of the death, declared that
there was no doubt but what the de.
ceased had suffered an attack Of heart
failure during the night. Upon his
person was found $3.50 in checks anG
money. No arrangements have yet
been made for the funeral services.

AND A LITTLE CHILD

Of all things that have been tossed about,
twisted around and generally scrambled up,
consider the famous eternal triangle
Between the use OF that expression in con-
nection with divorce cases, shooting scrapes and
whatnots, the world has lost sight Of real
worth while place to tack it on properly.
For this little portion of today's happy
thought we viii have to borrow one husband,
one wife and one little youngster from our au-
dience-the world at large
We will take the three and enclose them in
one little home. Passing the hand Of fate
gently over our trio-What have we?
Tie Real Eternal Triangle"
Maybe this is magic We make no claims!
But the "trick we must call it such-is
accomplished and we defy anyone to produce a
better and surer eternal triangle"

act is under the title Of "And Little Child
