CROSS RAILROAD
ON SECOND Gear
Some Coed Hints for Driver to
Follow When Engine Stalls
as Train approaches.
OPEN THROTTLE GRADUALLY
az Acce!erator PEDAL Is Pressed Too
Quickly Engine Sometimes Stalls
Operator Should Keep His
Presence Of Mind.

Ii is we'll to give the mOtorist a
few words Of advice on subject
usually disregar,Ie Of crossing
railroads, writes William H. Stewart,
Jr., in IN exchange.
The all too usual method of cross
ing tracks is TO drive on high gear,
throttled down. This requires a GER
tain amount of gas, and If 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 it is
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. If 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 it 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 speed which
will not cause the engine to choke be-
fore accelerating.
Dangerous Experience.
Stalling the engine with a train ap-
preaching at high speed is 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 car
Is made to move forward slowly.
Keeping this fact in mind, driver
may save his own life and the lives
Of those with him.

M. & K. has the reputation for selling the finest
merchandise in the community. No one would
think of disputing that. We did not cease to buy
this exceptionally exclusive apparel this year.
Other stores may or may not have been frightened
by the conditions pride forced us to keep up
the splendid standards of quality and style that
had set But we feel now that the exclusiveness of
this merchandise is perhaps, degree too fine for
custoroed TO the finest clothes and desiring them,
do not believe they can afford to pay the prices
necessary now Therefore, we are going to place
this merchandise within the reach of all by
tional series of price reductions.

M & K. always marks its merchandise
closer basis than is customary. Our great buying
power and our huge volume of business enable us
to do so. This year, when the merchandise
arrived, made special effort to mark it on the
closest of close margins. Nevertheless, IN putting
on this sale, the most extraordinary thing of its
kind ever attempted in the tri-cities during the

MAKE THE CHAUTAUQUA
A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

A number of the prominent busi-
ness men of our community havee
rendered greaet service to their fell
low citizens by pledging their sup
port to the coming Chautauqua, thus
making it possible for all of us to
hear some of the best talent on the
American platform. Not only have
these men pledged their loyal support
but they have jointly signed a con-
tract to stand behind the proposition
in the matter of finance. Only pub
lie spirited citizens, men who have
the interest of the community at
heart, are instrumental nproviding
us with recreational advantages of
this nature, and they deserve the
hearty cooperation of all of the citi-
zens in the community.
We, as a community, should pride
ourselves in supporting the class of
entertainment which comes to us
through Thautauqua. This is the
one organization in the entertain
ment world which has the three ver-
tees of the human triangle primar-
lily at heart-mental, moral and spir-
itual development. 1t is. indeed, 4
privilege to support this class of
amusement.
If a sufficient number of citizens at
tend the Chautauqua to make the pro-
position success, the community
will find itself in position to continue
these programs in future years. In
order to make our Chautauqua a sue
cess, it will take the closest coopera
tion on the part of all of us. Not
only it it our privilege to buy season
tickets, but is also our duty to help
advertise the Chautauqua in every
way possible Remember, we are
not only helping make the Chautau-
qua a success in so doing, but we are
at the same time showing our loyal
ty to our fellow citizens who made
the Chautauqua possible and also we
are advertising our town and showing
our civic pride.
Remember the dates, Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday, cath, 25th and
26th, and let us all cooperate with
the ticket committee in order that the
financial success of the program may
be assured before the opening date.
Ask your neighbors if they have pur-
chased their tickets.
Elsewhere in this paper you will
find the three day program in its
complete form.

Education Need of Hour,

New Head of Children's Bureau in Labor De-
partment Is Understanding

WASHINGTON, Oct. S--Ask Miss
Grace Abbott, the new Government mother
to some $30OO0OOO American children,
what is the crying need for the Ameri-
can child of today, and you get an answer
quick as a flash:
'Education!"
OF course there are other things that
are vitality needed to benefit the child
life of America But first and foremost
stands education. After that comes by
giene, the abolition of child labor ard

cate the other ills affecting American
child life. With education, hygiene will
take care of Itself, and with education
there can be no child labor, because the

taken over the Children's Bureau of the
Department of Labor. Ii is one of the

The size of this outflow Of silver from
the Unired States In the days when 1t

ures Of the director Of the mint In the
six years from 1915 to 1920 inclusive, i'm

After graduating from a little college
in Grand Island, Neb., she did post
graduate work at the State University,
and then went to Chicago, where she
studied philanthropy at the University
Of Chicago.
The teeming slums and foreign quar-

years that followed her college work
