Be a Man.

Calhoun Times.
To take a problem by the horns
and master it is a fine lesson. The
home and the school should teach
children self-help and self-reliance.
Idleness is a curse. Keep at it. Do
something. Don't be a street loafer.
Preach and practice clean living.
Have calling. Don't drift. Quit
pulling at the old mans coat-tails
and refining his pocketbook. Stand
on your own legs. Live on your own
resources and labors. Have purpose.
If you are living too fast stop before
you lose your credit and your honor.
Crooks are never happy because even
crooks have tried and they know the
public has a contempt for them.
Don't be a crouch. Start at once to
save something regardless Of hard
times. Fear debts. Interest works
while you sleep, ride or loaf. Don't
be drag on the community. Be a
man.

Both Balled Up.

At political gathering in England
an orator waxing indignant, said:
"To ridicule the idea Of this country
being invaded is to follow the exam
pie of the camel, which buries its
head in the sand when an enemy ap-
proaches.' The rival speaker rose
and retorted: "Surely the gentleman
in giving utterance to this apothegni
must have meant to refer to the os-
trich, which, in those circumstances
has habit Of putting it's eye through
needle"

VICTIMS OF MORBID CRAVINGS
"Sensation Mongers" Must Have Elk
citement.

The case of anonymous letter writ
ing reported from the French town of
Tulle affords typical illustration OF
the methods of the sensation mon
GER" Missives making accusations of
inidelity have caused the deaths OF
two persons in an asylum and brought
misery into several homes.
This is precisely the result desired
hv the writer of the slanders. Max
ing a sensation is the very height OF
enjoyment among large number OF
morbid persons. The human craving
for excitement is entirely normal, but
in it's PATHOLOGICAL and criminal man
ifestations it often leads to tragedy.
The majority of young children de-
light in sensational mongering. A lie
of Imagination is the commonest form
Of juvenile unveracity.
A little girl who "sees' bears and
wolves in coppice near her home in
vents stories of hair-raising sensa-
tionalism concerning the fierceness of
the animals. Another girl declares
she sees big eyes in the stem OF an
oak tree. A boy, twelve years old, ar
irving at a boarding school, told his
companions of the dormitory that he
had flown the first airplane from
Buckingham palace and had been
personally mplimented by the king.

FEW SPIES SHOT.
Bat the Germans Had 800 in Paris
During the War.

Paris was filed with paid German
spies during the war, but only forty
ave Of them were court-martialled
and shot, according to Col. Emile
Nassard, who commanded the count
er-spy section in the Paris region up
to the armistice, says Parish dis
patch to the N. Y. Herlad. Col. Mas
sard recently described the thrilling
career and the punishment OF the
dancer Mati-Hari, who was convict
cd of being a spy for the enemy and
was executed by the French.
To-day the Liberte prints the first
of a series Of narratives by Col. Mas
sard, not only telling how the Ger
man spies worked. but showing how
they neglected tiny details of their
scheme, thereby enabling the French
army's counter espionage service to
bring them to justice-in one case
just in time to prevent the dynamit-
ing of the Hotel des Invalides, and
numerous apartments near by, oc-
cupied by military authorities.
At one time, according to Col. Mas
sard, the espionage service directed
from Berlin the operations of more
than 5000 hired girls, placed in var
ious hotels and cafes; 700 ex-oficers
in French business houses, so beauti-
ful PruSsian girls in the army can
teens in French garrison towns and
200 specially selected servants as
signed to the homes Of the bourgeois,
as far as possible in contact with Of
fcers Of the French army. Their re-
ports reached Berlin after passing the
inspection and receiving the approval
Of master German spies in Brussels,
Amsterdam, Geneva and Lausanne.
Just to give an example of how in
tricate problem it was to catch these
spies, once the war was declared, Col
Massard recounts the visit Of dash
ing young officer, wearing the tabs OF
the French General Staff, who arrived
early one morning at the artillery
park in Paris. When the commandant |
of the park was notified he decided to
investigate personally and found the
officer examining anti-craft and other
guns with the precision of an expert.
The commandant shrewdly asked
the visitor to aid him in counting the
weapons aloud. Although the latter
seemed to scent danger, he could not
refuse such simple request. When
he called out the number twenty
ninth" ((vingtneuvieme) the pecu-
liar combination of two 'v's with |
''t'' in the middle proved his undoing,
for the combination is one the Ger
man tongue is unable to master, in
ivariably pronouncing the second ''v'
as an "f''. With a shout of rage the
commandant felled his visitor and
turned him over to the guard, who
discovered hidden in the visitors
Boot a certificate identifying him as
a German officer A hasty court
martial followed and within a few
minutes the spy was bound to the
execution post.

With regard to the announcement
of these new plans S. w. Straus said:
THE decision Of our company to go
ahead with this large building project
at this time may be taken as a very
tangible proof of our belief that all
present conditions are favorable to
those wishing to build now on an
extensive scale. In Our opinion there
is no good reason why large enter
prises should not be launched at this
time. While the new season now
drawing to close has been a record
breaking one for new building con-
struction in the United States. we can
see no reason why there should be a
Iet-up in these activities. aside from
weather conditions or some temporary
local obstacle"

| Ability to finance properly real

| realtor, told members of the Y. NJ C..
| A. real estate class this week.
! This Is true, Mr.. Luchs stated, for
| the reason that in the large majority
| Of cases purchasers of real estate are
not prepared to pay the entire pur-
chase price in cash and therefore
some arrangement or adjustment OF
i finances must be accomplished In
order to consummate the transaction.
| The ability to know just how mort
cages can be arranged in order to
successfully finance deals is Of more
Importance than the knowledge of
where mortgage funds may be avail
able. Lack of this ability to success
/. fully arrange mortgages frequently
prevents real estate transactions be-

handled, could be closed.

that the broker is of assistance to

vestment for the investor.
While the broker, generally speak
ing, is representing the owner in the
sale Of real estate. for the reason that
the owner is the one paying the
brokers' commission. Mr. Luchs stated
most emphatically that the purchaser
was entitled to careful consideration
and that a serious obligation rested
on the broker to see that the pur-
chasers interests were properly pro-
tected. 1t was pointed out that usual
~ the purchaser of home is un-
familiar with realty methods and
transactions and that the broker
should see that an innocent purchaser
was not overburdened in the matter
of membranes.
Terms an Important Factor.
The terms should always be ar
ranged in such a manner that the
purchaser could carry them with his
sure the ultimate payment of the en-
tire debt resulting in complete own
ership 70 the purchaser. Transac-
tions handled in such a manner. Mr.
Luchs stated. always result in salts

The greatest fault with American
drivers today is that they drive with
their brakes. says George Harnum,
president and general manager. Oak
land Motor Car Company.
1t may be due to the fact that life
is America is speeded up to a dizzy
ing pace: that our great cities are
congested with automobile traffic:
and that the brakes are actually built
so mechanically sound that even in
spite of the abuse they are subjected
20 they stand up under the strain
Every time you hear traffic Of
ficer's whistle in large city. you
almost Immediately hear a crunching
OF brakes and scraping of dry tires
on the dry pavement.
Fast Driving Expensive.
And even in long cross-country
drives. where hilly country is en-
countered. some drivers constantly
jam on their brakes when slowing
down instead of allowing their cars
10 slow down before the brakes are
applied Every tire mark on the pave
ment costs some automobilist money,
sooner or later.
The motorist should take things
easy in driving. whether in a crowd
or out of a crowd. Fast driving be-
tween short city blocks. followed by
a sudden jamming on of the brakes
gains little time and is expensive,

tires. the burning out of the brake

AND AUTO DRIVER

+. a. Drumm. principal of the Y.
just made public. cautions the auto
mobile driver as we'll as the pedes-
trian, who crosses the street without
regard to the dangers by which he
may be surrounded.
''One of the great problems with
which the auto driver has to con-
tend" he said. is the man who at
tempts to cross the street while he
is reading newspaper or goes along

livious of moving objects about him.
and only comes to life when the
auto horn is sounded. If pedestrians
would use caution in crossing the
streets. there would be few accidents
On the other hand. if the automobile
driver would show consideration for
the pedestrian and realize that he was
once a pedestrian. there would be less
danger to the latter and fewer dam
age suits in court.
Playing Child ImperiIed.
Another problem with whicII The
auto driver must contend is the rhild
who. in play. does not recognize dan
ger. The youngster, interested in play
darts here and there. and the auto
driver must exercise the utmost care
to prevent accidents.
But in the last analysis, automo-
bile driving is an art acquired by
practice and the use of common sense
and Judgment The beginner should
be taught to do straightway driving,
at the same time learning the manip-
ulation of the clutch and brake ped
ais. gear shifting and the emergency
brake.
He should become proficient in the
stearing of a ear. he should begin
practice in gear shifting. stopping the
car and learn TO judge distances. He
must be a close observer of objects
and other moving vehicles, and he
should drive at least fifteen feet be-

that his car may be stopped without

brakes than is absolutely necessary
to stop at the point you wish.
In going down hill. take your foot
off the accelerator, and the motor,
set at a safe pace, will hold the car
back. If the grade is very steep. shift
to second or first speed as the grade
may require before starting.
Brakes Important.
Under no circumstances is it advis-
able to throw the clutch out when
actually driving down hill. To do so
may mean absolute loss of control.
1t is not good driving, either. to shut
off the spark completely. 1t is a safe
practice to have the motor running
in order to have power on tap in case
of emergency.
There is no question at all that
brakes are extremely important for
the purpose for which they are built
but simply because they are efficient
reliable and the easy way to drive,
is no reason for their abuse-abuse
which results in damage to other
parts of the car as well.
