ROAD CONDITIONS HELP.
Varying road conditions provide
different means OF detection. On par
tally muddy roads. IL is "a simple
matter to observe the direction in
which mud and water Is carried out
OF chuck holes and scattered from
ten to twenty feet in the direction
the car Is moving.
The track up "A hill may furnish
the missing link in the chain OF
evidence being collected. In ascend
Ing q steep grade. the traction may
slip. causing imperfections in the
tread. which are particularly notice
able when non-skid tires are used.
An innocent chuck hole frequently
serves as the best detective. The
impact OF the tire, which IL Indicated
by It's widened width, will naturally
be greater on the forward eide. or
side in the direction the car Is NOV
ing. This Is because OF the greater
pressure cxerted when IL lifts itself
out OF the hole. In dropping into "a
chuck hole, the wheel Is likely to
enter on gentle slope and then
climb out very abruptly on the other
side.

 'Shut-the-d door, Gordon, publisher-in- name of newspaper owned by Rather inc O'Neil, is in a conspiracy with the owner of a rival newspaper to so neglect

Condemns American Materialism

From the World Outlook.
 In srder to find out some, of the req sons why emgrants are returning to steerage with them. In the May World Outlook he says: One of the most thoughtful criticisms of this country was made by an Italian, a man of some fifty years of age. and a citizen of the United States, who had lived in Amer ica for twenty eight years. This citi- zenship, I may remark, was purely a matter of business. for on this trip he even had two sports-American and Italian-and used whichever was most convenient
 "Why are you going back to Italy?" I asked him.
 'I am not going back to Italy. I am going to Switzerland"
 And why to Switzerland?' Because it is the greatest democ. racy on earth.
 But Americans think that their country is the greatest democracy said.
 "Oh American he sneered. The only thing they love in America ls bread. The rest iss lavery-especialiy since this reaction has set in. They are crushing out every sign of an ad vanced idea. They are entering upon a period of autocracy. I came to America because in Italy there was too much oppression in those days, too lit- tie free speech,~too much spying. What used to see in Europe thirty or forty years ago. am beginning to see in America now: and the people are so stupidly patriotic that It will be all the worse for them. The world is going to be made over in old Europe now. and then America will wake up."

Nests Near Houses

John Burroughs in Harper's Magazine.
 What is the real explanation of the
 fact that so many of our birds nest so near our dwellings and yet show
 such unfriendliness when we come near them? Their apparent confidence, on the one hand, contradicts their sus- picion on the other. Is it because we have here the workings of a new in- stinct which has not yet adjusted itself to the workings of the older instinct of solicitude for the safety of the nest and young. My own Interpretation is that birds are nto drawn near us by any sense of greater security In our vicinity. It Is evident from the start that there Is an Initial fear of us to be overcome. How, then, could the sense of greater safety in our presence arise? Fear and trust do not spring from the same root. Hunted animals pursued by wolves or hounds will at times take refuge in the haunts of men, not because they expect human protection, but because they are des- perate. and oblivious to everything save some means of escape. If the hunted deer or fox rushes into an open shed or a barn door, it is because it is despera tely hard pressed. and sees and knows nothing but some object or sit uation that it may place between it. self and it's deadly enemy. The great fear obliterates all minor fears.
