TALE OF TWO TREES

More than twenty-one years ago we
were just ten months and twenty
three days old. 1t was the morning Of
the day we We're just ten months ard
twenty three days old that we saw oul
first Christmas tree. Now, each year
after we were just ten months and
twenty three days old we have seen
a Christmas tree that we called "ourn'
but in later years "ours."
But we came mighty near missing it
this year; and this is how!
Last Thursday we took the after
noon off to get tree. We knew just
what we wanted so we went after it.
With the congenial companionship and
assistance of Roy Creeger, Bob Eigen-
brode and Rus. Baxter, and the pup,
we got it, brought it home and placed
it in our "back yard" where it would
be convenient for US when needed.
But, we guess, we must have made
it so convenient as to become inviting
for somebody beat US to it on Satur-
day evening. Now our tree is hisn,
hern OF theirn.
Therefore it was necessary for US to
get anothern. Accordingly, with the
kind permission of Mr.. j. c. Gernand
and the invaluable assistance of Mr..
Carroll Rouzer, we spent the create
part of Sunday afternoon on Mr.. Ger
nand's mountain lot heving out Sec
ond tree, and now--say, you, who
got our tree some time between suppe"
and breakfast Saturday night and
Sunday morning respectively, VIII you
please relieve our anxiety by telling Us
whether you pinched the pine or just

the place where the tree should have

OLD FORTS MAY BE SOLD

In accordance with recommendation
of the War Department, Senator Jas
w. Wordsworth, Jr., of New York
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, last Wednesday in
troduced bill to sell various forts, in
cluding three in Maryland, for which
no said, there was no longer any mill
tary use.
The three Maryland forts to be of
fered for sale are Fort Armistead, in
Anne Arundel county; Fort Carroll, on
the Patapsco River, about four miles
from Baltimore, and Fort Foote, in
Prince Georges county, about eight
miles from Washington:
The Wadswo1th bill provides that
these forts shall be sold at public Oh
private sale at not less than the value
appraised by appraisers designated by
The Secretary of War.
However, the bill provides that, in
.ead of sale, the War Department
may transfer the fort properties, in
;luding ground and appurtnances OF
my part thereof, to any other execu-
i've department of the Government
which shows it requires such proper
ties for immediate use.
The Maryland forts to be disposed
If by the War Department under the
bill were built about a century ago as
part of the coast defense system of
that period. Since the Civil War all
have been obsolete, but the War De-
partment has continued to maintain
them for possible military use in case
of emergency.
For many years they have had no
garrisons and have been in the hands
of caretakers. In moving to dispose
of these forts, along with numerous
others throughout the country, the
Senate, according to Mr.. Wadsworth,
merely is carrying out policy in
dorsed by the War Department.

WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TIME7
New Question for AutOists

new Question IOT AutOlStS
"What is your reaction time or do
you know the value of your personal
equation" ?"
This has been suggested as possi-
BILE question to be put to applicants for
motor vehicle drivers license, accord
ing to the Bureau of Public Roads of
the Department of Agriculture. Re-
action time is the interval of time that
elapses between the instant sign or
signal is seen and the necessary action
started. A driver starts to pass an
other vehicle when suddenly third
vehicle appears which may block his
path. The driver must decide whether
to pass the vehicle or drop back. If
his reaction time is slow he may not
realize the danger until too late to
avert an accident.
Every astronomer who observes
when star crosses a hair line in his
telescope and presses key so that the
time may be electrically recorded
knows that he does not observe the
fact and press the key at the same
time. A correction has to be made
which has been carefully determined
and is called his personal equation. 1t
varies with different people.
Timers of foot race with split-sec-
ond watches will frequently get differ
ent results for the time of the race.
The reaction time of some people is
very slow and undoubtedly is the
cause of many accidents. Does the
public safety require that such people
be denied drivers licenses? The Bu-
reau of Public Roads is not yet ready
to advocate such policy, but consid-
ers that it should be investigated as a
possible safety measure.

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads 9TH
ers to take their chances instead of
giving their colds the needed atten-
ton. 1t should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less able
to withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the way for more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for its cures
of bad colds may be had for a trifle?
