Strange Moon Rays.

Pusilex, the distinguished selenog-
rapher Of the Paris observatory. some
time ago reached the conclusion that
the curious rays or bands extending
In straight lines away from many lunar
eraters, such as the celebrated Tycho.

volcanic ashes carried to great dis
tances by the winds that happened to
prevail when the eruption occurred.
He accounts for the relative mar
rowness of these bands. which are
never more than thirty miles broad.

many hundred miles, by supposing that
only the central axis Of the deposit

ROAD
BUILDING
FEDERAL COMMISSION URGED
Highway Question Concerns Agrieul-
ture, Commerce, Military and
Social Needs.

National development and the need
for economy demand the formation of
a highway policy under federal com
mission" said George NJ. Graham,
member Of the highways committee,
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce, speaking before the senate
committee on post Offices and post
roads.
"The economic barrier now con-
fronting us Is the lack of adequate
highways. There is urgent need to
build these highways as quickly as
possible, and with the maximum
economy.
Highways should be planned with
consideration of their relationship TO
railway and waterway communication.
The highway question concerns agri-
culture, commerce, the military and
the social needs OF the nation. The
roads program is national in scope
the government.
Highway policy, therefore," Gra-
ham continued, should be unified I'M
der federal highway commission de
rectly responsible to the chief execu.
tive, as is now the policy in state road
administration.
Economy will be served by such q
measure as roads will be with regard
to all the needs Of the nation. 1t Will
be possible to pay higher salaries than
can now be done under the bureau
system. Millions OF dollars are to be
expended on roads, and 1t is the high
est economy to secure the ablest
brains in the country for the admins
tration of these funds.
Selection of roads of primary In
terstate Importance and concentration
of federal funds In conjunction with
step needed. States should be required
to meet the federal aid as states rath-
er than passing their responsibilities
along to counties as many states do
now. In this way, 1t will be possible
to have state policies correlated with
will benefit from the general inter-
state highway system, and the funds
which the counties formerly used in
conjunction with federal aid can be
devoted to more specifically local pur-
| poses.
Maintenance should be provided
for by the states In all cases." Graham

IMPORTANT DETAILS
FOR NOVICE DRIVEH
First Should Learn to Turn Cor
ners and Signal.
Two Essentials Many Motorists Have
Difficulty In Learning Should Be
Studied and Practiced on
All Occasions.

One Of the things that many motor
lists have great difficulty In learning
to do properly is turning corners, says
writer In New York exchange.
Ii is difficult to coast around cor
ner at low speed, and If high speed 10
used the car goes too fast. The nov
ice driver should practice going into
second speed just before he reaches
the corner he is to turn, and then
drive around at slow speed.
Another detail every driver should
learn and practice is the matter Of
signaling. The law states that the
driver shall signal in some unmistak-
able manner which way he Is going
to turn. The left-hand drive makes
this easy. II the operator is going to
the left he should hold his arm out in
a horizontal position. This indicates
to those back Of him they should not
come up behind him on that side.
When making right turn the car
should be run close to the curb and
the signal given by waving the hand
In a small circle, with a forward
swing, as II he says: "Come on up on
this side, I'm going to turn the cor.
ner." The come on" motion is not
prescribed by law. but has become q
custom Of the road.
II sudden stop is necessary the
hand should be held upward. This
signal formerly was used by coach
men on the box and is well known to
all users Of the highway.

TN THE new suits for fall and win
ter interest Is centered In the coats
which are considerably varied In
style. Leaving out the box coat, which
is law unto itself In the matter OF
length, coats are longer than for some
seasons, and therefore more dignified.
The Russian blouse Is welcomed by its
devotees In smartly designed models
that are bloused Mt the back and belt
ed at the front with fullness on the
hips. There are some trim, semi
fitted. severely tailored coats with a
decided flare In their skirts and
notched collars that are distinguished
by their lack of trimming, and there
are many fur-trimmed and embroid-
cred costume suits that Will prove the
mainstay of any winter wardrobe
that takes them on.
In coats as in gowns, sleeves will
hold the center Of the stage, playing
the leading role opposite collars. In
great many coats sleeves are wide
at the bottom and fur Is ingenlously
used for trimming them. Very deep

IS A DEADLY DRUG
Powerful 0piate Popular With
South African Natives.
Produces Exquisite Feeling Of Supreme
Content and Happiness. but Leaves
Victim a Wreck.

II Is not only among war-wearied
people in big cities that drug taking
Is prevalent.
The natives Of South Africa culti-
vate--surreptitiously, because there Is
q huge fine II the authorities find them
out--a herb called dagga.
Dagga In Africa Is what opium Is to
China. II is smoked-but smoked In
a strange way--and the native smokes
II only In the very early dawn or very
late at night, when he can do 1t Sc
cretly.
He scoops a hole out of the hard
ground three to four inches deep by
three inches wide. A foot or so away
from this he scoops another hole. and
he then bores small channel under
ground from one to the other. There
Is thus free air passage connecting
the two little excavations.
He places some dried dagga leaves
In the first hole, lights them and covers
them over with moist clay. He pierces
this clay with sharpened piece Of
wood TO allow a draught TO 60 through.
Into the other hole he inserts a small
hollow reed-thls is the pipe stem
squeezes moist clay round II, and on
his knees begins his smoke.
A cup of water Is at his side. and
after each draw" he cleverly lets a
mouthful of water In without letting
any smoke escape. Then In some mar
velous manner he elects the water In
a long thin stream and the smoke slow
ly follows.
Bending low over the reed and sit.
ting back on his heels, this Is repeated
time and time again.
His eyes stream with tears and soon
get very bloodshot and swollen. He
becomes excited; he feels elated.
buoyed up In some wonderful way. All
his cares and troubles are forgotten,
and In their place has come an ex-
quisite feeling Of supreme content and
happiness.
He begins to talk, and the occupants
of his kraal hear great tales, tales Of
daring deeds OF his youth-told with
much demonstration and wild en-
thusiasm. Tales of his early fights
tales OF battles and Of victorles-al-
ways Of victories. Tales Of great horse
manshlp--and wonderful journeys-of
old forests and young love.
But the influence of the dagga dies
out. The natives eyes are screwed
up small, his head aches. his limbs
and face become inert. and In short
while he is just huddled mass Of
heavy sleep.
His Joy in life has lasted Just about
an hour, and In the dim dawn he
awakens feeling fearful "wreck."
| But he believes in "a hair Of the
dog that bit him." and so-another
pipe before work.

therefore that much ahead In economic
development.

CROSS RAILROAD
ON SECOND Gear
Some Good Hints for Driver to
Follow When Engine Stalls
as Train Approaches.
OPEN THROTTLE GRADUALLY
II AcceIerator Pedal ls Pressed Too
Quickly Engine Sometimes Stalls
Operator Should Keep His
Presence OF Mind.

II Is well to give the motorist a
few words of advice on a subject
usually disregarded-that Of crossing
railroads, writes william II. Stewart,
Jr., In an exchange.
The all too usual method Of cross
Ing tracks is to drive on high gear,
throttled down. This requires GER
tain amount Of gas, and IL the amount
Is reduced too much the engine will
stall. BY shifting into second speed
all such danger is overcome. Then
the engine is turning faster and 1t il
not so easy to stall. Furthermore,
the car may be driven across the
tracks at approximately the same
speed. The impression prevails that
the car may be speeded up more
readily In high gear in the event Of a
train approaching, but the distance is
short and full throttle opening on
second speed will send the car for
ward with greater certainty.
Why an Engine Stalls.
This brings up matter Of i'm
portance, that Of opening the throttle
too suddenly. II the accelerator pedal
Is pressed too quickly the engine some
times stalls. This is because the air
valve yields readily to the increased
suction. giving sudden rush Of air
before the spray nozzle can respond
with enough gasoline. Whether the
throttle is opened by hand or foot
the driver should open 1t gradually
enough to give the engine time to re-
spond. No matter how great the dan
ger may be, the throttle must be
opened gradually. This does not
mean to hesitate, but at a speed which
will not cause the engine to choke be-
fore acceleratlng.
Dangerous Experience.
Stalling the engine with a train ap
preaching at high speed is a dangerous
experience, to say the least. There Is
no time to start the engine, but the
operator who keeps his presence OF
mind will use the starter to pull out
Of danger. By shifting into low speed
and pressing the starter pedal the caI
Is made to move forward slowly
Keeping this fact In mind, driver
may save his own life and the lives
of those with him.
