Giant Eets,

Il Is said there are eels no one can
land. Some years ago IL giant conger
was caught in shallow water off the
shores of England. 1t measured 8 feet
inches in length and weighed 1lS
pounds. CongerS half that size have
been known to bite q mans hand in
two and TO have driven their teeth
through the blade Of an oar.
In 1913 Kaknnamsku, the champion
swimmer Of Honolulu, was attacked
by giant eel, which dragged him
under water, and held him there for
nearly two minutes. He ESCAPED at
last, but ut the cost of finger from
his right hand.
Eels attain an immense size in the
rivers of New Zealand and have been
known to attack bathcrs. In fact,
many cases OF drowning have been
proven to be where cells have dragged
the butherS beneath the surface Of
the water.

The king was alone for the first

Advancing n dozen steps into the

Careless Drivers
Endanger Selves,

Americans are generally conceded
less; and OF all classes of Americans,
the motoring public is generally a
little more reckless than any other
Glass; says Frank Thayer of Lowell.
Were this not so, garage owners
would have much less business.
Sixty per cent of all automobile re-
pairs are due to the carelessness of
the Car owner. Some drivers are care
full in actual driving, but take no care
of their cars mechanism. Knocks,
pounds, squeaks and rattles, mean lit
tie to them until their car suffers an
actual breakdown, or at best loss of
power. This is usually due to accumL
ulated carbon, valves needing grind
ing, ill-fitting rings, or ignition trou-
BILE, of some variety. Some of the
knocks and pounds are due to the
bearings, and frequently predict burn.
ed out bearings, through lack of suf-
ficient oil. 1t is a poor economy to
save on the necessary repair bills, or
proper quantity of oil. 1t only means
q much larger bill in some near flu
ture for new parts.
There is also the class of driver,
who is not only careless with his
cars welfare, but also careless with
his driving. In fact this class mum.
bers largely among our acquaintanees.
The driver who forgets his chains in
wet weather, the driver who reckless.

who cuts corners, the driver who new.

brakes, or defective steering gear, the
driver who does not signal before
stopping or turning, the driver v hc
does not use his horn on approach
ing, or who has a horn emitting only
faint squeaks, that cannot be heard
at any distance, the driver who has
bad lights. Taken all together, this
man is the greatest menace of mo
toriing.
1T is a comparatively simple mat
ter to remedy these defects and OBJ
serve rules of motoring. 1t is Just as
simple to be careful of your cars
welfare, as it is to be careful IN youl
