in less than It's own length or approx

cling 20 miles an hour, or twice as
fast, the distance required to stop
is four times as great or approx

an hour, the shortest distance in which
it is possible to stop is not three times
as much as ten miles, but nine times
as much, or trifie over So feet. This
means that the distance in which we
can stop increases as the square Of
the speed at which we are travelling.
These distances represent an emer-

FIRE UNDER ASHES

n GREAT many uncharitahle, criti-
= cal people run down the unfor-
tunate man or woman, standing on
the brink of discouragement and fail
ure, without looking for the real cause.
1t may be i'll health, it may be shock
from the loss Of q loved one, it may
be misfortune, which in spite of ut
most vigilance comes to all of us; or
1t may be inaptitude or inability, but
whatever the cause, let US be patient
and considerable before we launch
austere criticism and throw up our
hands in condemnation.
If our hearts are right, and it is
assumed they are, let us In humane
spirit seek to remove the ashes from
the live Goals beneath. and fan them
into hopeful blaze.
Whatever may be the prevailing
opinion for or against such q proceed
ure, this is the noble way. almost GER
tain to give encouragement to the dis
heartened and lift them up in new
world where Hope lives eternally and
Truth and Mercy smile kindly, even
when the storms beat hardest and the
days are darkest.
If we will look deeply into de-
spairing hearts we will find that I'M
der the ashes of sorrow there are
always Goals of living fire. which
kindness, sympathy andunsazIish help
fulness can fan into glorious fame.
Even in the souls OF The most dis
reputable and hardenedsssinners there
is ever burning an immortal spark of
the heavenly fire hidden somewhere
beneath the slumbering gray ashes,
waiting TO be rescued.
And In spite Of the frowns of the
world, In spite of courts and prisons.
in spite of bereavement, of poverty, of
| riches, or pomp, pride or envy, this
spark survives all through our earthly
| existence, down to the final moment
when life itself despairingly flares up
and goes out, done with its temporal
house of clay.
The question may then come to us
| as to whether we have played our
| part as becomes true men and women
| and likewise whether the spark in oul
own souls has not been hidden by
| the ashes which we, through neglect
of others, have permitted to cover and
| darken 1t.
1t is so easy for sympathies and love
to go blind from disuse that unless
we keep them ever burning in oul
own hearts they will never blaze suffi
GENTLY to warm and cheer the heart:
of others, lost on the way and tot
proud or weak to call for help.

You Auto Know

That one of the most usual
places for wear on car is at
the steering knuckles, which
are always under heavy
strain. Comparatively few car
owners realize that the knuckles
need constant supply of heavy
grease in order to prevent I'M
due wear, and for this reason it
is the part of wisdom to see
that the proper lubricant is ap-
plied-either through Screwing
down the grease cups or using
the grease gun. A good rule
to follow in this respect is to
grease the knuckles whenever
it is put in the car or, at least,
whenever the oil is changed.
Worn steering knuckles are
also one of the infallible signs
of an over-used car and, in pur-
chasing a secondhand machine,
these should be inspected in or
der to see whether the car has
been used or abused. In this
respect, the knuckles, together
with several other particular
parts, are regarded as the
ssteeth" Of the automobile, for
an examination Of these will
disclose the real age of the car
NOT the length of time which
has elapsed since it's original
purchase or even the number or
miles it has been driven, but
the care it has received.

GLOOM is CATCHING

EVEN though we are reasonably
IL sure that the sun is still in the
sky, a cloudy day depresses US. Most
ing even on clear day, when cloud
comes between us and the distant fire
that lights and warns the world.
We are similarly sensitive to all the
little troubles of our lives-to anything
that disturbs our regularly ordered ex-
istence.
A temporary illness-a suspicion that
there are some kind of business break
ers ahead-these things plunge us in
TO gloom.
And we, in our turn, pass the gloom
along. For our friends seeing the
black and foreboding faces that we
wear, grow gloomy, too.
One sullen-faced man in an Office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
entire working force.
One croaker on board a ship i'm a
storm may send the whole passenger
list into something very like a panic
Nobody loves a gloomy man, but ev-
erybody listens to him, and looks at
him.
The prophet of evil is never without
an audience.
Poe, in his remarkable poem shows
how the raven, by croaking the word
"Nevermore'' was able to drive a luck

ity.
Continual gloom is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green and bios
somng things upon the surface Of the
earth.
We all need sunshine, and a great
deal of it.
1t is not necessary to go about con-
! tinually telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but We can at
least keep our troubles to ourseif, and
not look as if we were limping along
toward the grave or the gallows.
The gloomy man or woman in 9
home destroys the happiness Of an en-

dren out on the streets, where at least
there is air and sunshine, and maybe
now and then a hurdy gurdy.

AN APRIL THOUGHT

Violets in the low lands by green, moss
banked streams,
Jack-in-the- pulpit listening to the larks
song of Dreams
Pussy willows budding and the fly taking
to wing
Wake the bear from his slumbers and
tell him it is Spring.
Spring with all entertainments, with thun-
der storms and winds,
Darling trout in freshets with golden
cleaning fins,
There noisily honking, northward flies the
goose,
And shorn of his great antlers stalks the
solitary moose.
Oh! Winter has lost the battle, he is fad
ing, old and worn,
And in his place with smiling face,
stands gentle Spring newborn.

MY LOVE

What is it that your fancy sees,
When you are all alone,
Thinking of the loved ones
That you left away back home?
First, there comes a vision bright,
OF little blue-eyed miss,
Who would always poise for instant flight
If tried to steal kiss.
Her eyes are like the starlight,
Her hair is burning gold,
Her smile is like the sunshine,
From the heavens bright and bold;
l long to kiss and caress her,
And in my arms enfold,
There to hold her forever
Until lifes dream is past and told.
My love, you were mine from the beginning
And mine you shall always be,
Until the day of reckoning
And. beyond, into Eternity.
Our souls were made for each other,
To start on life's bright way
To be ever happy together
In real sublimity.
Oh! Phyllis, dear heart, can'st thou hear
me,
Although am miles away,
My heart is forever calling
To thee, so far away.
l can see thee in the moonlight,
AS on night, not long ago,
When you came to me with smile on
your lips
And told me that could be your beau.

And come out with a CHEEKY hello.

MY DAUGHTER

You are only three years old,
But what mass of gold
You have on your shapely little head of
curly hair.
And your big bright eyes DER flowing
with joy;
A girl, but you're as lively as any little
boy,
And, your dad an mother, do they for
you care?
How you 60 romping around the place,
Dirty hands and smiling face.
Dad an ma often watched you, from
where they hid,
In your cozy furnished room
AT our old Missouri home;
Gee, how l love you, you happy little
kid.
There was time l had the blues,
l held awful sinful views
Of each and every one on this old earth,
But when you came and smiled,
| surely found that, though mite of
child,
You could teach me how to live with
your mirth.
There is mountain of bliss
In each sweet, childish kiss,
How l ache to have you near me, to hear
you lisp your prayer.
Your ways are so divine,
They have softened this heart of mine
Your smiles and tears, too tell me that
you care.
But if some folks down that way;
: If, ah, if they'd had their say,
You'd have been taken from me, cause
you see,
On account of what did,
They said: "You don't love the kid"
Think of it! you who are the heart and
soul of me.
They aren't going to take you, so run
along and play
To your little hearts content, in your
happy childish way.
Your grandma will watch so you wont get
in bad
In the future every day you and your
ma shall see
That Pm willing, and will give my all in
all to thee
Give everything own, just to keep you
home with dad.

THE ARK

I've just been thinking
About Noah and his ark,
And how the good Lord had him
Take all them creatures in his bark
They must have been good and useful,
With some lesson for me and you,
Or they never would have entered,
Two, by two.
Pve figured most them critters
Was for food and clothes,
Then the honey bee and ant
Are the workingest fools knows,
But when l get to cooties
| commence to wiggle about,
Sure, now here's some mistake,
They must have sneaked in no doubt.
Still, the good Lord blessed them
And told them to multiply.
Well, they sure have kept orders,
That fact can't deny.
Then remember about the war
How many said at the front,
They'd have slept on forever,
'TwasSt for this little runt,
Cause he'd bite you on the neck
Then ramble down your spine,
Even III you was nalI Qead,
He'd get you marking time.
Course the boys didn't like him,
And they'd long to decootyize
But get me, he caught that boat
That's what want to emphasize.
Now, I'm company of one, in battle,
And l hear my Captain shout
Right about face forward, march!
Put the enemy to rout!
And Pm now obeying orders
Like the cooty who got in,
I'm sticking to my guns
Cause, buddy, l intend to win.
Then when the last bugle's sounded,
And the battle is won,
I'll hear my faithful Captain
Say, company, "Well DONE"
