Are They "Self-Hypnotized?"

Anderson TRIBUNE.
A writer in an automobile journal
says a good many motor accidents
can be attributed only to the '''self-
hypnotisn" of the drivers, and he re-
lates several incidens in point. Ac-
cording to his theory there is a mys-
terious something in the motion of the
rapidly proceeding car that deadens
the senses at time when they ought
to be unusually alert. He has seen
an expert chauffeur allow his car to

The breath of warm June roses fill

water on their faces to cool them off.
She was trying to cool herself. There
was faint scent, too, of Turkish chg

a ringlet of gold light that suggested,

The incident annoyed Lady Diana
and forced her to make a decision.
Turning her head languidly, but with
a slight animation in her eyes, even
with a touch of kindness, she spoke
to the smartly dressed young man
who stood near her-her acquaintance
of an hour and her guest by frivo-
lous coincidence.

But ignoring her inquiry, Bland
went on. ''Do you notice that crack

"Oh, dear! 1t is only broken vase,

if one cares to go to the expense of saving them all. Down at the tractor plant at the Rouge we are burning about one thousand seven hundred tons of coal day simply to get what is ii the coal. We are taking out the benzol, gas, coke, ammonia and a few other Ingredients. Each ton of coal contains a little more than two gallons of benzol. Here at the plant all of us use henzol in our automo- piles. It is perfectly feasible to make benzol-burning locomotive. Such a locomotive can be made to draw any train that any locomotive can draw. have already made an engine that has done seventy miles an hour on the D. T. & l. on benzol. Each ton of coal contains enough ben zol to transport a ton of coal one thousand miles.
 "As I said, l am experimenting now on burning coal in the mine to see if l cannot do away with coal burning locomotives altogether. If great body of coal can be set on fire and made to burn slowly, that is sufficient. The smoke contains everything except the coke and the gas. The gas can be drawn off.

People of Blackfork District in Scott Seek Way to Become Annexed to Polk for Sake of Roads--Is

There is a possibility of Polk coun- tvs borders being extended and the area of the county enlarged if the people of the Blackfork section of Scott county can get the change made they desire. One of Polk county's road outlets to the north leads thru the southwest corner of Scott county and the people of that section desire to be annexed to Polk county in order to get the benefit of the road improve ment, something they have been de- nied because of the indifference of the Scott county officials. A number of the property owners in the Blackfork section have expressed willingness to ask the next legislature for bill to change the boundaries and permit an- nexation to the county. Sheriff Thornton has promised the Blackfork people his help. The addition of the territory would not only add rich farming section to Polk county but would also give the county control of the outlet of the main road north ward

PASSED COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
And Two Polk County Men Must

Serve Two Years in Prison.
 Ben Crump and Jim Thomas, the two men who live northeast of Mena, who were arrested for passing coun- terfeit money at Texarkana last week, were recipients of rapid justice in the Miller county circuit court. Arrested Wednesday night the pair was indicted Thursday and the same day pleaded guilty and were sen fenced to terms of two years in the state penitentiary. Both men have relatives living on Route 3. A Tex arkana dispatch says of the case:
 1.-Two men giving their names as James Thomas and Ben Crump and their home as Mena were the victims of swift justice in the Miller circuit court, when late Thursday afternoon they were given two years each in the penitentiary on charges of having counterfeit money in their possession.
 1.-The men were arrested Wednes- day night after they had passed sev- eral counterfeit silver dollars on re- tail merchants on College Hill. When searched, AS counterfeit silver dollars were found on Thomas and 53 on Crump. They admitted passing some of the money" and said they had purchased about $200 worth from an- other man for $30.
 "The two were indicted by the Grand jury at O m Thursday after noon and at o'clock, when arraigned before Judge Haynie, both entered pleas of guilty"

FINALLY REACHED MENA JAIL.
Scott Countian Used Several Modes of
 Travel to Reach Bastile.

In order to get to Mena to be arr rested Thursday morning, Ode Beat tie of Blansett, Scott county, tried three different methods of travel and then landed in the midst of deluge of rain. His arrival was untimely for Sheriff Thornton, who was compelled to quit good warm bed and 3 a. m. and go forth into the downpour and take charge of Beattie. Advices from Sheriff Omar Bird of Waldron for warded to Sheriff Thornton are to the effect that young Mir. Beattie is batty and is wanted in Scott county for that reason. The traveller is credited with having rode a horse from Blan- sett to Rich Mountain, left his saddler there, walked to Eagleton and then rode side door Pullman to Mena. Sheriff Thornton was told Beattie car ried big six gun, but no weapon was found when the man was taken in cus- tody. Beattie was sent back to Heav- ener on No. and turned over to Scott county officers, Thursday after noon.
