HEADLIGHT TESTS
CERTIFICATES NOT
GUARANTEE ALWAYS
Automobile Club Says Paper
No Good if Lights Not
Focused Right

In connection with the recent move
mcnt toward more attention to proper
focusing of headlights and establish
mcnt of official headlight testing gar
ages, many autoists have acquired Il
false impression relative to the "off
cial certificates issued by the testing
station, according to the Automobile
club Of Southern California.
These testing garages are established
by the California Automobile Trade AS
sociation with the assistance and coop
Grafton of the state authorities, but
should in no way be considered under
the jurisdiction of the Motor Vehicle
Division any more than any garage in
the state. The certificates issued by
these testing stations after having ad-
.justcd the autoiSts headlights, carry Il
statement on the reverse side that the
certificate is recos9ized by the Motor
Vehicle Department ns evidence that
the owner of the vehicle referred to-
therein had his lights inspected and adj
justcd on the given date to comply
with all legal requirements of the Mo
tor Vehicle act of California.
Cops Misinformed
Many autoists have complained Of
being stopped by traffic officers and
asked for their "hcadlight certif-
Gates and if such condition is true,
The police have been badly misinformcd,
for there is nothing in the California,
Law, according to the club, to require
II driver to carry such certificate.
On the other hand, many autoists 90
blithclv along with faulty headlights,
in the belief that they are secure from
arrest because they carry Il "hcadligh'
certificate showing that at some time
or other their headlights had been ad
justcd. Such certificate is no ;ssur-
ancc that the autoist is immune from
arrest because of faulty headlights,
but in the ordinary run of affairs sim
ply shows he has taken the necessary
prccaution TO comply with the head
light law.
Thorough understanding of the re-
Guiremcnts of the Motor Vehicle Act
and an honest cndcavor to live up to
them is all that the autOfst is requested
to do, and the headlight testing sta
tions are merely established to enable
him TO conform to the law with the
least possible Inconvenience, though
they are in no sense to be considered
in position to insure the autoist against
violation of the law, though they are

two and three services to each.
We held the usual revival meet

of the year, we have had 78
additions to the church, 73 Of

According to the household sur

To try to hold the ground
gained, we established four
prayer meetings. Nuturing these
and attending to my preaching
has kept me on the road from

But the results have been fully

prayer meetings have grown

members. We have also a.

found many ways in which |
might have used my experience
as county agricultural agent, but
refrained at first from doing SO,
as did net wish to be misunder-
stood. But when the people be-

of God was my first business, |
found time to help them by get
ting new seeds. selecting seed
corn, and making a few lespede-

in saving the seed. | also
fostered the farm bureau and
held a circuit community fair
and a rural life institute. We
got the very best men and
women from the State Agricul-
tural Extension forces to come
and speak on the problems of
the farm and home. The home

Educational

Our schools are the usual small

found in remote rural districts.
The only tWo-teacher school was
close to the parsonage. The
principal was man Of real
ability. In order to get him the
people had promised to supple
ment the salary which the county
was paying. They were, how
ever, neglecting to pay. made
a contribution to the fund,
gathered the trustees, and went
out to see the people. AS a re-
suit enough was paid to keep
our man the balance of the year.
We held a consolidated school
rally at the Mount Olivet School.
Last year this school had only
one teacher; this session it has
two and the aim of the people is
to make it a consolidated school
as soon as possible.
Social
The social life of our people is
very limited. When we came to
the work there were a great
many dances being given in
some of the communities. Ny
wife and l have tried to supply
wholesome social life for the
young people. We gave last
year ten entertainments at the
school houses, one at the parson-
age, and four community ice.
cream sUppers in the open air.
We have the most enthusiastic
susport of the good women,
which made this work possible.
AS a result these entertainments
and of preaching on the subject,
the dances have ceased entirely,
as far as I-know, and the young
people are doing good work in
the church and Sunday School.
In addition to the general en-
tertainments we have had

WHY
Unhandsome Men Make the
Best Husbands

One of the commonest mistakes
which men make is to suppose that
manly beauty influences women large
IL In their choice of husband. Men
are themselves so seriously affected
BY beauty of person that 1t is but
natural for them to fancy that it
counts for as much with women also.
Il am not much to look at" man
will say, no woman is likely to fall
IN love with me-" Or, concerning Il
friend: Poor old Jack, hes good
sort but he doesn't stand much chance
with handsome chap like Brown in
the running"
Most women, when they hear such
speeches, are apt to smile, either at the
mans modeSty OF his ignorance. But
the feminine point Of view differs wide
ly from that of man. A woman's love
is won by such different means from
his that, other things being taken
into consideration, the question of
looks affects her comparatively little.
This does not mean that women do
not admire handsome men. They do,
and the men who are uncommonly
good to look at are more than apt TO
be spoiled by the adulatiOn of the sex
In general, but admiration by no
means implies love.
One of the most remarkable traits
In women is their tendency to fall in
love with men who are SO plain as to
be positively ugly.
Some years ago made the acquaint-
ance of a charming woman, who told
me that she possessed an absolute wOr-
ship for ugly men. There was GER
tain pathos in their visages she
averred, which constrained her deep
admiration, and eventually she proved
this by marrying 4 man whose c0un-
terance went far to prove the Oar
winian theory.
The man who wins is he who takes
the trouble to WOO, ana q plain man
is far more likely to heStlr himself
than one who. accustomed 10 admira-
tiOn from his youth up, relies on his
personal appearance as his passport
and expects affection rs his due.
Influenced by his self-dIstrust, the
plain man goes out of his way to show
woman all the little attentions which
her heart Graves. Figuratively he Of
