DEACON WALKERS RULES
FOR THE AUTO DRIVER

Never carry banner on your car.
The people will know where you are
from by the way you drive.
Don't confuse the drivers In front
or behind you by giving a signal.
You might, by accident, do as you
signify and a wreck would ensue.
In crossing an intersection, pay
no. attention to the driver on the
right. All traffic rules give him
the right-of-way, but. pay no atten-
tion to the rules. Cause him to stop
his car, and then stop yours. BY so
doing you tie mp q lot Of traffic,
which gives opportunity for little
lovefest among the neighbors. Bril-
liant repartee always follows.
Always cut every corner you
turn. This makes more business
for the garages and undertakers, and
they have to live.
Never drive less than 80 miles an
hour in crossing intersections and
where children are at play along the
curbing. Little tots have habit Of
running out into the street suddenly
some times when interested in their
play. With a speed Of 30 miles an
hour 1t will not be necessary TO call
a doctor or rush to hospital. The
family can proceed with the funeral
at once.
Always drive on the left side Of
the street when In the city limits.
The road is always smoother there
and the other drivers have plenty Of
time to bump. into the curbing ana
street cars to let you by.
Always turn around in the middle
Of the block in the congested dis
tricts. 1t attracts more attention,
and people then get chance to see
how cleverly you can turn the steer
ing wheel.
Pay no attention to the traffic Of
ficer He is put out there for an
and never knows what he
IS about. This particularly applies
TO lady drivers.
When attending band concert |
md you must leave always wait un-
Ill the band is playing soft strain
before starting your motor. Then
when you do start turn on all the |
,as, open the cut-Out and let 'er
lum for a minute or two until you |
ire sure the motor isn't going to
stop. By so doing you cover up the
liscords of the clarinets and the |
audience feels very grateful to you.
Never blow your horn when about
o pass another car. The driver OF
he car ahead Of you might be a
tut, too and he would step on the gas
md throw dust all over your 1914
ford. This would make you sore.
Always remember that you can
,e just as big jay and rube when
irving car as you can any place
,lse, only more people will see you.

CAUGHT HUGE CATFISH
Dory Sherman Had Fine Luck Be-
low Brown Dam

Sure we have fish story, listen
Dory Sherman was fishing below
the dam at the power plant when he
felt as though he had hooked a gold
brick, his line had something so
heavy on the end of it. With some
difficulty he landed monster cat
fish. When it was brought into
town its weight was found to be so
pounds and its length three feet,
nine inches. 1t is on display in
Wayts meat market and many
people crowded in during the morn

OLDEST CAR AN OLDSMOBILE
Earliest Motor Still Runs But 1t Is
Queer Now

VuCCl lNVW
John Dull of the Abilene Auto
Sales Company came driving into
town Sunday in an Oldsmobile one
cylinder car that was built in 1899
and still hits them all. This one
cylinder Oldsmobile sold when new
for $3.50, was practically the first
model horseless carriage on the mar
ket.
This Is one Of the automobiles
that scared all the horses and made
'em take a fresh chew and slice Of
soft pine and say "she'l never be a
success"
But look at the many Oldsmobiles
on our streets today. Come in and
see this queer looking little creature
and also see the 1922 model Olds-
mobile and see the changes that
have been brought about in % years
Of successful automobile building.
For demonstration call 1872.

INVITED GUESTS ARE
TAKING OWN CHANCES

Invited guests In motor car
driven at an excessive rate Of speed
cannot collect damage for injuries
from resultant accidents, the sn-
preme court ruled yesterday. 1t re-
yersed the Shawnee county district
court. which had awarded the par
ents of Randall S. Sharp $4,50o
verdict against Dewey Sproat, driver
OF the car from which Sharp was
thrown and killed while on the way
from Topeka to play In baseball
game at st. Marys.
Sharp was a member Of the Wash
burn college baseball team. The
truck In which the team was being
driven to st. Marys broke down.
Sproat picked several members OF
the team up, and hit 1t on high for
st. Marys. The car skidded, over
turned. killed Sharp and severely
injured two others.
In its opinion the supreme court
held: "An invited guest In an auto
mobile driven at an excessive ana
dangerous speed Is required to exer-
else such care as Is reasonable ana
practicable to avoid injury to him
self. and If he fails to warn the
driver demonstrate with him or de-
mand that the automobile be stopped
so he may leave it, or take any pre-
caution for his own protection when
there is time and opportunity to DO
so, no recovery can be had for in
jury sustained by him through neg
ligent operation of the car"

FEARS CAR SHORTAGE
Engineer Watson Urges. Contractors
% Buy Road Material

Engineer Watson Urges. Sontractosi
to Buy Road Material
Fearing that an end TO the pres
ent nationwide coal strike might
bring about, an embargo ON railroad
cars Of the open top style, for use
other than I'm transporting coal,
State Highway Engineer M. w.
Watson has issued warning to all
federal aid road contractors In the
state urging them to lay In large
supplies OF materials In order that,
In event such car shortage should
occur. road work will not be halted.
Following is a copy Of Mr.. Wat
sons letter to the contractors:
ALLOW me to call your attention
to the conditions existing with re-
gard to rail shipments of materials.
Indications from reports submitted
by the United States bureau OF pub
lie roads very clearly show that there
Is danger of car shortage on the
of the coal strike. Were
It not for the coal strike ut the pres
ent time, there would be car short
age. Considerable pressure Will
probably be brought to bear as soon
as the coal strike is over to restrict
the use Of open top cars to the ship
ment of coal. In view Of this situa-
tion, we would suggest that all con-
make preparations to secure
and store as large a reserve supply
Of road building materials as they
can possibly obtain. You undoubt-
ndly realize the difficulty we have
had in the past when car shortage
existed, and / hope you will take
advantage Of an advance warming
