aim FOR HEALTH
IN DRIVING CAR
Many Drivers Add to Numerous
Ills by Failure to Consider
Safety Points.
AVOID STRAINED ATTITUDES
Most Natural Position Is Correct Ono
to Assume In Driving an Automo-
bile-SIouchins in Seat viii
Cause Fatigue.


Motoring, taken in right doses, is
healthful. There is such thing, how
ever, as an overdose. There is cor
rect and an incorrect way to drive and
ride, from the standpoint Of health, as
well as from the standpoint Of ordi-
nary safety.
No learned physician need be con-
suited to determine If you drive cor
rectly. Anyone can diagnose his own
case. The symptoms are not hidden,
says Cleveland Plain Dealer.
II, after drive of fifty to hundred
miles, one gets out of his machine
physically or mentally exhausted,
completely all in" his way of driv-
is ''all wrong"
In driving any horse not particularly
high spirited, the reins are usually left
hanging rather loosely, seldom taut.
In steering an automobile, hold the
wheel as you would a quiet, easy-going
mare-easily.
Many people, when driving, hold to
the steering wheel with all muscles
tense and set. That is fatiguing and
when quick action is demanded the
muscles do not respond as readily as
they should.
Constant driving in this fashion Is
usually due to nervousness. A general
physical relaxation noted on finishing
a trip is the symptom denoting this
habit; though most persons so afflicted
are aware of it, catching themselves
frequently in strained attitudes.
Another Bad Habit
Another bad habit among operators
of motor vehicles is the tendency to
SLOUGH in the seat at the wheel. No
one seems to cherish the old coach
mans erect attitude, preferring to get
as near a reclining position as posi-
BILE.
Yet there are few coachmen suffer
ing from curvature of the spine or
round shoulders. The most natural
sitting position is the correct one to
assume when driving an automobile.
Leaning over the wheel and resting
one arm on the side of the car as on
an arm rest are not healthful posi-
lions. While not necessarily harmful
in themselves, they are in the end tir-
ing.
A common affliction is eye strain.
This is brought on by much night driv-
ing where the operator is peering for a
long time into poorly lighted roads, or
standing the glare of binding search
lights.
To prevent this, look as much as
possible into the stream of your own
headlights and never, If possible, into
approaching glares. If you are driv-
ing far enough on your own side of the
road this is generally unnecessary.
Don't try to see too much at once.
That is dangerous to more than the
eyes.
Remove Rubber Footwear.
Inclement weather necessitates
wearing of rubbers and overshoes.
They have always been known to make
the feet perspire when worn where
the temperature is normal. When
worn while operating an automobile,
especially a closed car, the radiated
heat from the motor passing up
through the floor boards and trans
mitted by the metal controls, accentu-

Ribbon Eish,s Oddities.

'The ribbon fishes" said John T.
Nichols, head Of the department of re-
cent fishes at the Museum of Natural
History, according to the New York
Times, ARE perhaps the least known
of the larger marine species. They
are elongate, fiattened from side to
side with manelike fin on the back.
Specimens are Is to 20 feet long, be-
ing from 10 to IL inches deep, and
about an inch or two broad at their
thickest part They have big eyes
and small mouths"
Very few specimens ever come to
light and these are usually washed up
on some shore or are found floating
at the surface In a dead or dying con-
dition. The larger ones are known to
grow to be 20 feet or so In length and
very likely attain considerably
greater size, but this is matter of
pure conjecture. Young individuals
of some of the species but a few
inches long are not rarely met with
near the SURFACE.

Why Soap Cleans.

Our forbears discovered that ashes
mixed with water, give q smooth, slip
perry feeling and also that the mix
ture has cleaning power. The rea-
son is that the ash is rich In soda or
potash, both Of which are good for
washing. but to use them alone Is
hurtful to fabrics; SO we combine
them with fats and make soap, but
II is the alkalies tsoda and potash)
that cut into the dirt and grease and
make 1t easy for the water to rinse
them away.

Tree as NursemaId.

-The larch or tamarack, is the best
nurse" said the forester, who was
busy planting double line Of little
larches on the edge Of new planta-
ton. He explained that the strong.
quick-growing larch was the best
tree to protect others from frost and
drought "And If you are planting a
beech hedge" he added, ut will pay
you to plant white-thorn on the wind
ward side, for the white-thorn will
protect the beech and can be cut back
later when II has served Its purpose"

INGALLS, TRIBUTE TO GRASS
Beautiful Word Painting Of Kansas
Statesman That Is Recognized
as a Classic.

Lying In the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May,
scarcely higher In intelligence than the
minute tenants of that mimic wilder
ness, our earliest recollections are Of
grass; and when the fitful fever is
ended and the foolish wrangle of the
market and forum is closed, grass
heals over the scar which our descent
into the bosom Of the earth has made,
and the carpet of the infant becomes
the blanket Of the dead. Grass is the
forgiveness of Nature-her constant
benediction. Fields trampled with
battle, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown like rural lanes and are
obllterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass Is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts Of winter, II wlthdraws into the
.impregnable fortress of its subter-
ranean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by the wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle agriculture
of the elements which are its minis
tiers and servants, II softens the rude
outline of the world. 1t bears no bla-
zonry Of bloom to charm the senses
with fragrance or splendor, but its
homely hue is more enhancing than the
lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet should its bar
vest fail for single year, famine
would depopulate the world.-From a
Collection of the Writings of John
James Ingalls,"

Natal Superstition.

Persons born between October %
and November %, when the sun is in
Scorpio, have courageous, loving
disposition. Have natural dignity and
great persuasive ability. Make friends
readily. Have more power over minds
of others than over their own impulses.
They are aggressive and executive, and
naturally fitted to oveNee others. They
are capable of great things If they
can be induced to stay at one thing
long enough-but are impatient of re-
suits. They are well adapted for gov.
eminent jobs.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1921-06-02

ates this tendency. Tender feet often
result.
1t is well to remove rubber footwear
when driving closed car. For similar
reasons rubber-sole shoes are not rec
commended for one who drives much.
Another dangerous practice is that
Of opening divided windshield In
such way as to allow small but
penetrating draft to blow on the face.
In many cars the shield is SO divided
that when partly opened the cold blast
strikes one directly across the eyes or
forehead. This induces neuralgia and
brings on head colds.
Better far to have the shield opened

People born on Saturday tSaturn's

quiring money and will have to work
hard. This may make them melan-
choly and avaricious and inclined to
run into debt. They should guard
against carelessness in dress and the
reading Of evil books. They will be SUBJ

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
CRANK

TINE only apparent connection
i between a person who is
obsessed with certain idea, an
eccentric, and the piece of ma.
chinery bearing the same name
is that both Of them are crooked
the one mentally and the 9TH
err physically. But Dom Piatt.
who first used the word in its
current sense, sensed another
connection between the two.
Horace Greeley" he stated,
in the course of one of his In
yectives against the famous ed
itor. sis like the crank Of a
hand-organ-continually grinding
out the same old tunes" In ad-
dltion TO being cleverly phrased.
the comparison appealed to the
opponents of Greeley as being
particularly truthful and the
smile was quoted throughout
the country. In the course of
time 1t was separated from Its
original connection with Greeley
and applied to anyone whose
hobby bordered upon the ridic-
ulous or even the insane. The
question of sanity being a very
delicate One-as may be seen by
a comparison of the expert alien
lists at any trial--the word filled
a long-felt gap and provided
semi-humorous appellation which
could not be construed as libel

FEATURES OF OUR INDUSTRIAL
FUTURE

Managers Of industries, corpor-
ations and banking institutions are
facing responsibilities for the next
two years that would stagger gener-
ais of armies and statesman, with
this difference; the industrial leaders
cannot fall back upon the liwmak-
ing and taxation powers of the gov
eminent to help them solve the riddle
involved in keeping their properties
intact and their customers and en-
p1oyes satisfied, to not even mention
their stockholders.
State and federal instrumentalities
must become more constructive and
helpful if the big factors in the ma
tional prosperity status are not to
be handicapped and crippled beyond
resuscitation. Who can say our state
agencies have in the main been help
full in the solution of industrial prob
lens? Government as rule is cold
and unsympathetic toward struggling
industries and public service under
takings with private capital Should
not this policy be reversed?
What are the two greatest factors
in restoring normalcy and prevent
ing national collopse industrially
and financially? We have passed
through a Consumers STRIKE" and
are now in the throes of an industrial
stage where home consumption is
falling off and foreign markets are
diminishing from the great wartime
demands made on the nation.
The readjustment that will take
place in the next two years will be
attended by declining prices and wag-
es. Capital, labor and agriculture
will have to absorb their share Of the
shrinkage in values and economic
losses. There will be no margin
for wild talk or wild actions and in
telligence must reign as the superior
power in human affairs and overpow-
er resorts to violence.
