THEY HAVE THE DOZEN,
AND SOME LADIES, TOO

A couple of weeks ago the Demo-
crat mentioned that if Two Buttes,
Colorado, had dozen boosters like
Editor Novels of the Sentinel, they
would make it the best town in Baca
county.
In the last issue of the Sentinel,
Bro. Novels comes back like this:
eve have the dozen good men,
Bro. Miller, and more. And the
ladies here are boosters, too. Three
ladies, assisted by one lone man, or
ganized and conducted this year, the
first boys and girls clubs in Baca
county. And next week two girls and
one boy will have their expenses paid
to the State Fair at Pueblo, as a re-
ward for meritorious work in their
clubs.

WILL ATTEMPT TO EQUIP
AIRPLANES LIKE BATS

Scientists believe they have found
how bats, flying in the darkness,
avoid hitting things they cannot see,
and they are trying to invent instru-
ments that will help aviators to do
the same thing. They think that the
little animals give a high pitched
note, witch echoes back and informs
them in which direction every OBJ
stacle to their flight win be found.

NO LONGER STAR BoARDERS

For many years the buffalo of the
Yellowstone Park have lived royalty
on government rations but now they
must pay for their keep. 1t has been
found by experimenting that buffalo
wool makes lighter weight and more
cold resisting cloh than sleeps
wool. So, after this, the buffalo will
be treated quite like sheep.

SUBWAY THROUGH ROCK

New York is built over a strata
of solid rock which lies 400 feet be-
low the surface of the earth. A New
York engineer wants the city to bore
subways through this rock, through
which trains could run from one end
OF the metropolis to the other, at
Sky miles per hour. Mr.. Bolton, the
engineer, believes that rock boring
will be cheaper and quicker than the
tunneling just below the street level.

What Would Be
the Result?

if our home merchant did not guarantee his
goods, and required that pay in advance or de.
post the money in some bank before inspecting
or examining them? This of course wiuld be the
height of folly, but this is exactly what is required
when we send away for them
Our home merchant not only guarantees his
merchandise and invites inspection, but is COM
PEELED to carry the better and sometimes the more
expensive grades in order to do so knowing full
well that his patrons expect it of him and also to
save himself the worry and expense of adjust
ments.
Not much with the mail order house
hundreds of miles away, and yards of red tape to
go through in order to return exchange the
goods once they purchased. All of this and
more is to be considered, not to mention the civic
pride enjoyed by those viii feel that the mer-
chants, business and professional men of the town
deserve our first consideration; knowing that the
more we spend with them the more they are
bound TO spend in increased stocks, with greater
assortment and enlarged quarters of substantially

PAYS TRIBUTE TO SONG

London-The first fete of the fam ous French war song, La Madelon," was recently joyously celebrated at the pretty little town of Fontenay- sous Bois. according to the Paris cor respondent of the London Times.
 La Madelon' was originally writ ten early in 1914, but it had been only a very slight success. At the end of July it was was slightly all tered and turned into a war song, and week later professional singer who had been singing the song before found himself serving with the 17th reg iment of artillery and billeted in the Jules Ferry school at Fontenay. He began to sing La Madelon" for the entertainment of his comrades and soon every one in Fontenay was singing it. Soon afterward another singer made 1t known to the S7th tr- fantry regiment at St. Quentin and after the 20th Chasseur Alpins had adopted it as their song it rapidly spread wherever there were French soldiers.
 Ministers, marshals and generals sent their representatives to be pres ent at the dedication of a mural tablet at the Jules Ferry school with the inscription, La Madelon est par tie d'ici pour faire le tour du monde There were flags and bands and pro sessions and La Madelon was imper- sonated by a pretty girl of Fontenay. who had the cQueens of Paris for her maids of honor. Afterward a young singer reused the crowd to a great pitch of enthusiasm by singing the famous song. In these days noth- 1 ing is complete without dancing in France, so in the evening the whole | place went, to a ball. M

MORE SCA[PS ADDED
 TO STUDEBAKER'
 LARGE ASSORTMENT

News of more "firsts" established by Studebaker cars has just been re- ceived by Barret and Pottberg, local distributors of Studebaker cars.
 A dispatch from Nevada City. New, states that the first automobile to come over the Tuba Pass under its own power this year was a Stude- baker, carrying MT. and Mrs. Oscar Lister, of Boise Valley, Idaho, and their children, together with. camp ing equipment weighing nearly 800 pounds. They were en route from their home to Southern California, the Tuba Pass without experiencing trouble.
 From Spokane, Wash, comes the report of another Studebaker piloted by J. H. Collins. of Colville, accom- panied by his wife who drove their car to Seattle and established the record of first crossing the Snoqua1- mic Pass. There is always consider able interest in the first car to come over this pass leading over the Cas- cade range, as it is usually blocked with snow until late in the season. Upon leaving Seattle MT. Collins was told that the pass would not be open, but he determined to set out and go as far as he could. On the summit he was held up for nearly an hour waiting for workmen to let him through. He encountered more than eight miles of snow in making the ascent, and had to resort to chains in negotiating this stretch. To a Studebaker car has gone the honor of replacing the malamute dogs and horse stages away up in the far northern snow-covered country of Alaska. It is a curing car, too, that is doing this job and it is being oper- ated by Jack Callins. sour dough" sson the route of Anchorage, Alaska.

Freezing back into Phoenix as fresh as a daisy, after an April rain, Ed Rudolph returned to the city after completing circuit around Northern Arizona which comprised trips to nearly all the scenic points of in terest.
 Accompanied by his vie and daugh- ter, Miss Clara Rudolph. Fred Win ship and wife and Fred Barrows and wife, the latter four in Mir.

From Jerome, through Camp Verde they then went to Soda Springs, Montezuna' Cas- tie. Stoneman Lake and Mormon Lake. Resting here for a spell. the party proceeded to Flagstaff, taking in several side trips from this point, including the Grand Canyon.
 Leaving Flagstaff, Ed and his par ty then motored to Holbrook and thence through the Terrified Forest to St. Johns and Springerville.
 Camp Cooley and Fort Apache were then visited, and the trip through the White Mountains to Globe was taken on the return to Phoenix. From 1AobCs thC party NdiHc III oNCA LIE new Superior Miami highway.
 We had a wonderful trip" stated Ed. At no time were we held up by mechnaical trouble. While the roads were fierce in spots. as a gen. eral thing they were good I had a heavy trunk strapped onto the rear of my Ford sedan. together with much other luggage, which made an exceptionally heavy load. However, as my sedan is equipped with a Moore four speed transmission, didn't know a hill existed except by noticing the contour of the surround ing topography. It was certainly 3 great trip, and one that I would rec ommend to anybody desirous of get ting an idea as to the vastness of Northern Arizona"

The owner who is not vigilant and neglects the parts he does not see or which do not give trouble. usually finds some time. that upon starting one of the wheels becomes locked even though the brake pedal or lever is free. This is due to the fact that there is so much play in the brake linkage that when the hand brake lever is released it merely takes up the play, leaving the unlubricated mechanism set in holding position This happened recently and a ham mer had to be used to loosen thf brake mechanism.

POWER OF THE PRESIDENT

The legal functions of the presi- dents office are so eminent that he cannot escape the responsibilities of executive action, however much Ee may be inclined to avJid them. His constitutional powers alone make bim the pivot upon which all the admin istrative machinery operates.
 He appoints the heatls O. depart ments and may direct their major policies. His power Of appointment to all the greater offices IS far reach ing. He can recommend, shape and veto legislation. His control ever foreign affairs is virtually complete. He is commander-in in chief of the army and the navy. Tn short, he is the most potent constitutional func- tionary in the world.
 All these constitutional powers have have been vastly augmented by practice and custom. The president today can do innumerable things that George Washington or Thomas Jeff ferson would never have dared dc even if they had thought of them.
 The constitutional conception oi the president is that of chief ex- ecutive, an administrators; custom has added to this conception that oi leadership. of initation.-Samuel P Orth in the Yale Review.

STEERING kNuckLE TROUBLE

The front wheel spindles upon which the wheels are mounted run in the king bolt or pin. There are bronze pin bushings to take the wear. but due to the lack of fabrication the bolt often freezes in the flushing and then the bolt turns around caus- ing wear where there is no renewable pushing. In case of this kind the king bolt should be removed by frs removing the castellated nut at the bottom. After cleaning the bolt and part it fits into. oil copiously and re- place. Tighten the nut well.

USING BLOWOUT PATCHES

Most motorists have encountered the difficulty of keeping inside blow out patches from creeping out of position in which they have been placed. When the patches move nat urally they uncover the hole they were intended to protect and so be- come useless. By placing a piece of inner tube against the casing, at the place where the blow has occurred, the patch will be held firmly in posi- tion. Incidentally the piece of tire will eventually become vulcanized to both casing and patch, making staunch repair.
