London, Jan. 10.-Hens' teeth and
snakes feet are equally scarce but
many a snake has his skin tripping
the light fantasia on London dance
floors this season For snake skin
shoes are the latest foible of fash
ion here. The tough skins of the
larger snakes when properly tan
ned are particularly adaptable to
footwear and the intricate mark
ings and distinctive colorings make
remarkably striking designs for
dainty footwear The majority of
the snake skins come from In
dia and as it is estimated that
more than $4,000 people there die
yearly from snake bites, the sup
ply would seem adequate.

moulding of the female. figure is
rapidly going into innocuous de-

place of boning in many of the
corset designs and all are compar-
atively lightly boned. In fact,
many of the brassieres are entirely
without boning. These are worn
like a camisole, are easily tubed
and yet give that straight boyisn

day require. These are usually con-

New York, Jan. 10.-The winter

into a glorious spring and summe'

driver would be unprintable.
Some of the best drivers argue
that they avoid traffic difficulties
and mishaps by driving as though
every other driver was going to do
the worst possible feat. They al

turns, stops or. changes of speed. SO
that no matter what unusual move

trouble Is not apt to result.
There are other drivers who guide
their cars safely and easily through
traffic with the least possible wear
and tear on their cars and pas
sengers. They appear to take un-
necessary risks sometimes because
of their faith in their ability to read
the other drivers mind. And they
point to their freedom from mishap
In proof of their theory.
Both of these mental attitudes
toward driving are obviously con-
tingent upon the drivers familiarity
with his own car to the extent that
he Is not conscious of effort in
maneuvering as he deems 1t wise,
Months of driving under friendly
circumstances have given him con.
fidence as well as practice.
The good driver not only keeps
his car under control at all times,
keeps to the right Of the road and
obeys traffic laws, but he also has
the habit Of operating his car so
that other drivers are not harassed
by his movements. &
HINTS ON TURNING.
For instance, IL he is driving
north toward intersection and wants
to turn to the right, he draws over
close to the right side Of the road
before he reaches the corner, sig.
Mailing to cars behind him that he
intends to turn. Cars at his rear
are then able to proceed northward
without stopping to wait for him
to clear the corner.

DRIVING Skull

FOR SAFETY
Many Motorists Disregard
Strain on Mechanism BY
Sudden Spurts Of Speed !.

Good automobile drivers are not
born; they must elarn. Unfortu.
nately about all they can learn from
someone else is the more or less
mechanical work of steering, gear
shifting, engaging and disengaging
the clutch. says a writer in "Chevro-
let Review" Skill in these opera
dons Is necessary, Of course, es-
pecially when considered from the
standpoint Of economy and relia-
bility in car performance.
However, every day teaches us
more emphatically that good driv.
ing consists of more than expert
mechanical operation. There are
moro cars on the road daily There
are more "other drivers" who must
be considered.
These 'other drivers are not only
human and deserving of human con-
sideration, but they are also pilot.
ing cars which can become extreme.
~ unfriendly and unruly when out
a control. Self-defense Is a strong
argument for good manners on the
road.
STEADINESS Is BEST.
For example, there is the driver
who proceeds ahead in jerky fash
ion, speeding for few rods and
then slowing down suddenly behind
another vehicle when his good judg.
ment would have told him an even
speed would have saved his motor
from the strain of fast acceleration,
his running gear and brake Innings
from the unnecessary burden of
quick (bralxing. and saved his pas
sengers from the anxiety of the
whole foolish escapade. No time
was gained, no possible benefit de.
rived. And what Of the car be.

CHARACTER

He never rose to fame, never starred
in any game,
Never made a lot of money, mems
attention to attract;
He never won a prize of a notice
able size,
And the brilliancy of glory was a
charm he plainly lacked;
Men of state would pass him by and
would never catch his eye,
None would ever read his value in
the fashion of his coat
In just this his worth is told: that his
word vas good as gold,
And there wasn't any banker but
would gladly take his note.
He was not a great success, never
mentioned by the press,
There were very few who knew him
but no one had ever heard
Any hint of sin or shame being con-
nected with his name,
And no one, of him, had limited that
he ever broke his word.
He just toiled from day to day, in a
calm and easy way,
Never sought the hills of glory or
the pomp and power of rank,
But he lived his whole life through,
in an honest way and true
And whene'er he wanted money he
could get it from the bank.
There may be in world success, great
er thrills of happiness,
There may be compensation in the
loud applause of fame,
But when all is said and done he
life's best reward has won
Whose character is is witnessed by
an undiscovered name.
Though he lives apart, alone, and is
very little known,
And the plaudits of the people
round about, he's never heard
He can hold his head erect; for he
owns the worlds respect
When men say it to his glory that
he never broke his word.
