HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

The two best ways to avoid auto
mobile accidents are to be courteous
on the road and confident in your
driving ability.
Courtesy and confidence should be
big words in every motorists vocab-
ulary, says Paris. Most Of the tall
end. head-on and 'ditched' car aeci-
dents would be avoid if every motor
ist would practice common road cour-
tesy. Respect the other fellow. He's
entitled to the same consideration you
expect from him.
One of the most discourteous prac-
tices experienced is negligence in ap-
plying dim headlights when passing
another vehicle at night. Hundreds
of unnecessary accidents are caused
by glaring headlights bearing down
on drivers. Almost blinded, the mo-
torist must choose between being
'swiped' by the other car, topping ov-
er into a ditch, or taking his chances
of holding his portion of the road.
Proper use of DINNERS will save in
juries, lives and dollars.
The best car drivers today are
those who impress other drivers that
they know what they are doing. Con-
fidence in your own driving ability
will dispel all doubt on the other fell
lows part. On the other hand, if you
appear timid and confused, your
chance of being hit or smashing into
another car are multiplied.

RESTRICT USE OF MACHINES

to all employees of the State Hlgh-

deemed advisable in view of the crit

er the use of the departments auto
mobiles for other purposes than
highway work:
Gentlemen: Information has been
given to the department that en-
plovees of the State Highway Depart
ment are using automobiles for other
than States business. While l do not
know that this is a fact, however,
this is subject that lays the depart
ment open to severe criticisms If this
condition actually exists.

have tried many times to find a rea-
son to criticise the highway depart
ment and up to the present time our
record is absolutely clean. so Whlle

be a very small consideration to the
employee of the department, it IS the
last straw which may be grabbed by
anyone wishing to criticise the de-
Dartmeut. Therefore il viii DC neCeess

ASK that you all abide by it from
this time on:
"Do not use any State Highway De-

hours. unless you can show that you
are on business of the State Highway
Department, and then keep a note IN
vour diary showing the reason that

keeping the note is that IN case OF
criticism it can be referred to.

IN PASSING

With the changing of editors on
The Sentinel this week, there will be
apparent a somewhat different policy
which it is contemplated and hoped,
will be considerably more pacific in
tone, with less of the aggressive spirit
than that which marked recent issues.
The principal purpose will be to
serve the large number of readers
with resume of events, a faithful
chronicaling of the news of this terri
deliberately makelove in pre-arranged
al grievances to air, no animosities
for any public official, business man
or just plain citizen.
1t shall be our endeavor to inject no
partisanship into our columns. The
Sentinel, we trust, will be a real
"home town" paper with no particular
airs. We desire to serve, to assist, to
cooperate; not fight, pull back or an
tagonize. The Sentinel shall be a
journal of affirmation, looking al
ways toward the uphft. It's present
editor does not seek an intimate know
ledge of conditions in order to rend in
frenzy, but to be of assistance in a
constructive way for the betterment
of the community.

A small body Of soldiers, under the

enlistments. They are on a nine

gun, German machine gun taken at
Verdun, a 81 nm French gun, numer-

The outfit is equipped with a COM

The latter is used to supply the juice
for moving pictures at such points

HELPING THE LOVERS

A Chicago pastor, Rev. DR.. Thomp-
son, speaking in Pittsburgh, urges
church protection for spooners., He
would use the churches for trysting
places. He wants cozy corners where
the young women and young men mey
spoon, may do their "love-making un-
der favorable circumstances" he says.
Now, every city pastor will agree
with DR., Thompson that City girls
have some difficulty in finding proper
places to meet their young men
friends, and every citizen will agree
that it is too bad. But probably that
is as far as they will be willing to go
with DIR. Thompson. Surely it is a
long time since the reverend gentle
man was young, and he has forgotten
the rudiments of "spooning" if ever he
practiced the gentle art.
"Love-making under favorable cir
cumstances," as the doctor expresses
it, cannot be achieved by regularly or
ganized or freely offered spooning
parlors or cozy corners. AS mat
ter of fact, no church, no sect, no city,
no government, can create Favorable
circumstances" Young men do not
and properly organized cozy corners,
and young women cannot play their
divine part under carefully socialized
and strictly tutored church chaperon-
