ENGLAND SAFE FROM
 BOLSHEVIK MENACE
Common Sense of People Saves Country, Declared Lord Birkenhead.
By DAVID M. CHURCH.

London, July 24-Great Britain is safe from Bolshevism because of the common sense of the British people, to the belief of Lord Birk- enhead, Lord Chancellor, and this common sense is the one hope of Europe.
 We have gone through nearly four years since the armistice,' Lord Birkenhead said in reviewing condi- tions in Great Britain. There have been moments during those four years of grave anxiety.
 ''The essential stability of the inSti- tudons of this country and the fun da mental and traditional common sense of the citizens of this country have been vindiCated month by month and year by year until we are in 8 position to see these things in their true proportion, and to know that we shall not appeal in vain to that common sense which has been in herent in the British nation for so many centuries, which is the steady ing force in the world and which is in Europe the one hope which makes Europe.
 'Is it of no importance that, the Labor Party meeting in its annual congress. and after an inflammatory speech by it's president (which, I am certain. did not represent the true opinions of those who attended the conference), should by an over whelming majority have repelled from
 
 Communist fragment? It is to the credit of organized labor in this country that they have perceived the specious soPhistry and insidious dan- ger of those doctrines.
 'Whether there may or may not have been grave dangers in the last four years l do not pronounce upon I Inn too strong believer in the British character to believe that any danger would have arisen with whict we would not have successfully dealt; but do you suppose that the British people are to embrace these crazy doctrines at moment at which. il l the sight of the whole world. the1 have involved the mighty Empire ot l Russia in devastation and ruin? TC | su pp ose that the working classes O. 1 this country are to be deceived b, | tf1sse mischievous new and vicious doctrines is believe me, to lend fa1 too inattenuVe ear to he part O | that political education and intuitiv | common sense have played in the his | tOry of our cOuntry.'

HERE'S ORIGINAL
 GOLF DERBY

A local hnksman contributes the description of a freak golf game re- gently played on the Beardsley Park links. He heads it Handed Brown derby.''
 Perhaps the first fungo golf game ever staged in this city and possibly the state was played at Beardsley Park last week, before rather amazed and curious gathering, some of whom shook their heads, doubting if the play CTS were absolutely sane" A Mr. Scott was the player. He mounts his ball on a tee and car Ties a caddy who changes Scott's strikes when called upon. MT. Scott takes a driver, swings a hard, wicked stroke, but does rot hit the ball. On the third swing on every tee off he casts his eyes where he believed the Ean. if hit, would have landed. From this place he again drives, using the club ordinarily used, and again heads for the hole. He meditates each time and is deep in thought every drive or putt his eyes following an imaginary ball each time and he walks de iberately to where he believed it to land.
 He continues such playing through the entire game and his opponent does not question his honesty. the pair teeing off to- gether each time and the scores are kept by the caddy just as though balls were being whaCked all over the course by Mir. Scott or his opponent. If his opponent Uses a ball O. K, if he does not, but Scott never does. playing from serious thought and mind regard less of what his gallery thinks of his game.
 At the close of the contest he places the same white ball, only used on a mound when teeing off at the point which it is be- Geved to have landed each time but never touched or driven by a golf club of any sort, into his bag, pays his caddy for chasing thought balls" and speeds away until he can again return to the links.

REMOVAL OF BROKEN

One of Most Frequent Troubles

Method illustrated for Replacing DAM
aged Part Without cIamping-Two
Jacks Afford Satisfactory
Means Of Lifting.

One of the frequent troubles expert
enced with the light automobile Is
breaking of the front-spring leaves.
The drawing illustrates methods that
facilitate the replacing or removal of
a broken leaf, and the assembly of
the leaves without clamplng. The
leaves are assembled st~ar-fashion, as
shown, about the center bolt. The
nut is easily screwed on a thread or
two, after which the leaves are brought
into their proper position and the nut

In lifting the car frame above the
axle, to remove or replace Il spring,
two jacks are placed. one on either
side. with their bases resting against
the axles, their heads resting under
the lamp brackets on each side. The
wheels are blocked so that they can
not rock. This affords a quick method
of lifting, and one that gives a clear
working space. In cases where the

AUTOISTS BLIND
TO ALL DANGERS
Eight Out of Ten Drivers viii
Completely Ignore PerilS at
Railway Crossings.
AUTOMOBILES RUN into TRAIN
Chicago Safety Council Is Striving to
See to 1t That Accidents Are Not
More Frequent Than in
Other Sections.

Eight out of every ten motorists
drive over railroad crossings without
looking either way for the approach
of a train, and one out of five railroad
crossing accidents is the result not
of the automobile running into the
side of the train"
The foregoing is the statement con
tanned in a pamphlet distributed to all
school children by the steam trans
portation committee of the Chicago
Safety council, which is functioning
the careful crossing campaign for the
American Railway association, says
the Chicago Daily News. Large
colored posters showing an impending
collision between a railroad train and
an automobile are also being placed
in the schools upon instruction of SUI
p~erintendent Peter A. Mortenson.
Hope All Will Heed.
at is hoped" concludes the pam
phlet. that all children who hear or
see this message will carry 1t home
to their parents and do everything pos
sible &c prevent railway crossing acct
dents this summer. At the same time
the railroad employees will themselves
take every consistent action to mini
mize casualties from this cause"
The campaign Of the railroads ex-
tending all over the United States and
Canada continues to September 80;
1t Is exciting nusua interest on the
part Of motorists here and the Safety
council Is striving to see to 1t that
ChlcagO's record as to railway cross
ing accidents during this period Is at
least as favorable as that of other
sections of the country.
"If all concerned will cooperate in
our Efforts" said President William
Otter of the Safety council in discuss
ing the situation, 1--WE will substan-
TALLY avoid such accidents during the
summer months and thus save many
people from death or serious injury.
Public Interest Lax.
SIT is obvious that up to this time
the general public Is not paying de-
served attention to the careful cross
ing campaign, for our reports show
that a good many of such accidents
occurred over the weekend in Chi
cago, and the surrounding territory. 1t
is difficult to believe that in the face
of this campaign motorists persist In
taking chances Mt railway crossings.
1t isn't so bad for the man driving the
machine TO fail to appreciate the dan
ger to himself involved in crossing
railway tracks, but surely he must
place great value upon the lives of the
people who ride with him. One is
almost forced to think that sometimes
he does not. The time has arrived
when we must all become aroused to
this situation and do our share in i'm
proving It,"
