Resolutions of Respect.

Worshipful Master, Wardens and
Rives Lodge No. $50 F. &
A. NJ, wish to submit the following
as a tribute to the memory of our
deceased Brother Captain John w.
Walker, who was born in Civil Dis
trict Number Seven, Obion County,
Tennessee, January IS, 1888, and
passed to the other world in the ear
ly morning of October Z, 1923.
He was identified with Obion Coun-
ty during his entire long and event
full life. Reared at a time and age
when the advantages were meager
ard opportunities few for rapid de-
velopment of educational and mental
powers, the achievement of which is
SO much more easily obtained in
these latter days-yet with indomi-
table courage and a perseverance I'M
6aunted he forged his way to the
frcnt and since early manhood stood
as a trusted sentinel with the pro-
tecting force in the defense of good
morals and high ideals.
He saw his birthland grow from {.
infested with a species of
wild animals, which rendered it a
famous hunting ground, into beau
tiful fields of stock and grain, be-
decked with comfortable homes,
splendid churches and well organized
schools, all of which he was prom
inent factor in the civilizing pro-
gression and lived to see the glorious
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1922-11-17

results which rendered his native
land in reality place of sunshine
and flowers.
In the early years of manhood he
was admitted into membership of
the Masonic Fraternity, and for
nearly seventy years was active in all
the humane and charitable work con-
Eected with his lodge and communi-
ty, but after more than ninety years
had passed the irresistible force Of
time bore him into the twilight of
two worlds, the end of this toilsome
life was reached, and from his nerve
less grasp fell the working tools of
life, and the spirit passed over the
mystic sea to haven of rest, and the
Brotherhood placed his mortal re-
mains in the Old Stovall Cemetery,
and he now sleeps beside his loving
companion awaiting the dawn of a
new day.
Therefore be it Resolved: That in
his death, the Masonic Fraternity has
lest faithful and efficient Brother,
the church consecrated member, the
State a useful and patriotic citizen,
the community a sympathetic and
obliging neighbor, his family a de-
voted and loving father-peace to
lis ashes.
Be it further Resolved: That
page in our minute books, with prop
or inscription thereon be set apart to
his memory.
That these resolutions be sent to
county paper, The Commercial. for

Disadvantages Of
FOur-Wheel Brakes.

AGAINST THE ONLY ADVANTAGE ~ OF FOURWHEEL BRAKES,
NAMELY, QUICKER STOPPING THERE ARE SIX SERIOUS DsAD
VANTAGES WHICH MAKE MECHANICALLY IMPRACTICABLE
DANGEROUS UNCOMFORTABLE AND EXPENSIVE TO OWNERS AS
FOLLOWS:
DANGER OF ACCIDENTS WITH PERMISSION, WE QUOTE
FROM RECENT CIRCULAR OF THE R0LLsROYCE COMPANY TO
THEIR DEALERS UPON WHICH WE CANNOT IMPROVES
"BAsCALLY THE FAULT WITH FoUR-WHEEL BRAKES LIES IN
DANGER OF FRONT WHEEL SKDS WHICH ARE UNCONTR0LLA
BILE AND CONSEQUENTLY VASTLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN
IREARWHEEL SKID.
IT MUST APPRECIATED FIRST OF ALL THAT FOR THEIR
ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR THE FRONT WHEELS DEPEND ON
THEIR ROLLING NOTION WHEN FRONT WHEELS CEASE TO ROLL
THEY LOSE ALL POWER TO STEER THE CAR WHICH SLIDES
STRAIGHT AHEAD ON FLAT ROAD OR INTO THE DITCH ON
CROWNED OR CAMBERED ROAD.
WHEN THE BRAKES USED IN AN EMERGENCY IT IS OF
PRIMARY IMPORTANCE THAT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR SHOULD
FROM TIME THAT BRAKES ARE APPLIED UNTIL 1T IS
BROUGHT TO COMPLETE STOP.
WHEN AN OBSTACLE SUDDENLY PRESENTS ITSELF CAS- IN
NIGHT DRIvNG) DRIVERS INSTINCT is TO IMMEDIATELY
PLY THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE.
"F UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THE FRONT WHEELS ARE
SUDDENLY LOCKED, DISASTER MAY OVERTAKE THE DRIVER,
THROUGH INABILITY TO CONTROL THE CARS DIRECTION EVEN
THOUGH 1T MAY STOP BEFORE MEETING THE OBSTACLE.
I'm TRAFFIC DRIVING THE ABILITY TO DoDGE-To CONTROL
THE DIRECTION OF THE CARS OF ALMOST EQUAL IMPORTANCE
WITH THE ABILITY TO STOP
"0N A WET OR sPRINKLED CITY STREET, GRANTING THAT
THE FRoNTwHEEL BRAKES WERE PERFECTLY EQUALzED THE
CAR WOULD SLIDE STRAIGHT AHEAD UNABLE

DEN APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES CHECKS THE CAR so

Washington, April 26.-The pre-

of a new genius and species OF
primate much more closely re-
sembling the human type than 1t
does any known specie of ape" al
though distinct from either, is be-

tooth in the faunal deposits OF Ne

at the concluding session here OF
the National Academy of Sciences
by DR.. Henry F. Osborn of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory.
A number of authorities, DR.. Os-
born said, agreed with his deduc-
ton that the discovery had estab-
lished the existence in the "plio-
Gene period" of a new and indie
pendent type" of anthropoid, or
man-like animal Entire credit for
the discovery, he said, belonged to
