after he had attempted to cash it
and been refused at the Winnemuc-

he knew was not genuine. Brady
Immediately instituted search for
the chlprit and succeeded in locat-

SPEEDING AUTO TURNS
TURTLE ON CITY STREET

An accident which might have re-
suited in the loss of several young
lives occurred about $50 O'Clock
last night at the corner of East
Fourth and Baud streets, when the
Ford owned by George Grey, South
ern Pacific operator, turned over,
smashing the car rather badly.
Although owned by Mr.. Grey, he
was not in the car at the time of
the accident. Five boys are report
ed to have been driving it, and were
racing with another car through
Chinatown, and upon attempting to
turn the corner at Fourth and Baud
made too large a sweep and turned
completely over, both tires on the
right hand side of the car blowing
off, causing the car to tip. Spec
tators say the car went over Sc
gradually that all the occupants
were able to escape without injury

SEVEN LAMPS

\ lKENING seven different points
L. that should be emphasized In
education to seven lamps. Daniel A.
Grout. city superintendent Of schools
OF Portland. at the convention Of
the Inland Empire Teachers associa.
,ion at Spokane last week drew an al
iegoricai picture Of vivid idealism.
Sacrifice, obedience. truth. life.
powc,. beauty and memory are the
lamps he besought members Of the
teaching profession to hold ever
aloft TO guide the first steps Of
youth on tho pathway OF knowledge.
Below are paragraphs from the ad-
dress:
Through all the ages the number
seven has had q peculiar significance.
"The orient had its seven wise mas.
ters. The japanese have their seven
gods OF happiness aad the ancients
their seven sases. There were seven
slecpers. seven wonders OF the world.
and ancient Rome was built on seven
hills. All through the Bible seven
holds q very prominent place.
THE lamp OF sacrifice typifies the
spirit OF self denial and scif-forsct.
fulness. Tho lamp OF obedience rep
rcsen,s the observance Of fixed prin.
cinles: obedience to our higher I'm
pulses as well ns to the laws OF en-
llrhtcncd civilization. Truth Is va
uahle on Its own account and for the
range and reach II imparts to the
mind.
"The lamp OF life must burn
brightly that the true life be ever
distinct from the false. Education Is
showing how to live higher and no.
bier lives. Childhood 10 full OF energy
and promise and shouid be 80 taught
that tho mind will continue TO grow
and develop.

seven great fundamental human In

servation. or making . living. The

one string. There 10 the Instinct Of

be given opportunity to develop this.
There is also the instinct Of self re-
spect and respect for others. the In.
stinct OF self-sacrifice. the instinct Of

and the instinct OF loyalty. And
whether Il is innate or not I do not |
know. There ID also the Instinct OF
