corner at the same time he does, he
gives it the right of way.
There is no law covering this point
in New Hampshire, but courtesy of the
road generally gives the right of way
to the ear on the main highway. To
residents of the section where the driv-
ing is being done there is knowledge of
which is the main street, but people
from other places have little or no idea
in many cases which is the "main -
road. The Massachusetts law makes no
distinction in roads
In much travelled sections accidents
at corners are frequent, or if there are
not accidents, there is much confusion
and delay in traffic, unless there is a
traffic officer on duty. Naturally there
cannot be provisions for these officers
1T all points. 1t would seem that the
Massachusetts law would avoid a great
deal of traffic delay and confusion, and
that it might well be adopted in other
states.
The New Hampshire public service
commission is warning autoists from
other states-and those in the Granite
state as welI-of the necessity of slow
ing down to 10 miles an hour 100 feet
from railroad crossing. There have
not been many prosecutions under this
law, but there doubtless viii be if it is
not lived up to-. Not only is there a
maximum fine of $50 for an offense of,
this sort, but also a Jail sentence, at
the discretion of the court New Hamp
shire has a number of bad railroad
crossings, at which accidents have oc-
Cured If the law is obeyed there is
no reason for an accident, either by col
lision with train or with another mo
tor vehicle.

Vice Admiral Charles Kingsmill, who
celebrates his 65th birthday today, has a.
long and distinguished record as naval
officer, first in the imperial navy of Great
Britain and later as director of the royal
Canadian navy. Admiral Kingsmill was
born at Guelph Ont, and at the early
age of - began his career as midship-
man on H. NJ. S. Royal Alfred, then sta
toned at Quebec. In the years that fol-
lowed he rose through the various grades
of the service until, in 1904 he was given
his first important command, that of the
battleship Resolution. After this he took
the war course at Greenwich, at the COM
pletion of which ne was appointed to the
command of the battleship Majestic. In
1908, when the Canadian government de-
cided TO establish the nucleus of national
navy, the honor of directing it's organiza-
ton was given to Admiral Kingsmill in
recognition of his past record and the
fact that he was native of the domin-
don.

though the question will puzzle most
of those who read it even to know
what such a stove looks like, it will
remind others, of an older generation,
that the soapstone stove has not so

stoves, and burnt wood in them, no
longer ago than the time when man
sard roofs were admired; and as some
mansard roofs still remain in Amer

soapstone stoves. Most of them, how
ever, are gone, like the earlier cast

Millions Of Miles Of Desert.

The great Sahara desert covers the
major part Of northern Africa, con-
sisting Of 100000 square miles--an
arid region as large as the whole OF
Europe. From 100 feet below sea level
it rises in one instance to 5000 feet
above, and some of its elevations are
covered with snow for three months
81 - year. Most of it, however, is
dry, sandy waste, dotted here and
there with an oasis where drink may
be secured. The winds are all very
hot and dry, while rain is almost un-
known.
The ostrich, camel, jackal, horned
viper and numerous lizards are the
principal animals of the region. Sew
eral varieties of hardy birds are also
found. Arabs, Moors, Jews and
negroes jostle each other on the cara
van routes and the fierce-looking
Arabs who bring their produce to the
Egyptian markets are probably rob-
bers and cutthroats in their desert
home.
