ON THE ROAD

Common sense should prevail at all
times on the part of the auto driver. The
great danger on the road is in passing
another, either when meeting one or over
taking one on the highway. 1t is here
that special attention should be given to
driving. One Winnemucca auto driver
whose experience covers several years said
to us few days ago, in speaking of this
subject:
cts not only serious breach of motor
ing etiquette but also a violation of the
laws of majority of the states to speed
up and attempt to race a car which has
signalled its intention of passing on the
left of you. Too many drivers appear to
consider this challenge to test of speed
that they must uphold the honor of their
machine by stepping on the gas and tear
ing along 10 or Is miles all hour faster
than they had been going This is respon-
sible for a number of accidents usually to
the car on the outside which is prevented
from getting back on its own side of the
road and is liable to a collision with a
machine coming from the opposite direc-
ton.
"The moment horn is sounded behind
you, draw as far as possible to the right
without endangering your own car, and
let the other fellow drive past. He may
have good reason for his haste. But,
even if he hasn't he isn't issuing chal-
lenge to race. He is merely giving one
of the signals of the road that is recog-
nized by law. And he is entitled to have
his wishes complied with"

RUSSIA WINTER PROSPECTS,

A week or so agothe soviet government
announced to the world that Russia's crops
would this year be sufficient to supply
abundant food to the people of that coun-
try. Perhaps this statement may still be
taken at its face value; or perhaps it
should have been accompanied by con-
dition. Moscow dispatches state that al
though the German government is under
contract to supply Russia 700 locomotives,
it is doubtful if Russia receives them in
time to help move the crops. Russia may
have food enough provided there is proper
distribution of it.
And there is another condition which
the statement seems not to have presented.
This condition attaches to the government
itself, in that its policy, has been and still
is to. take from the producer the major
portion of his products. If this policy is
still pursued, if the wheat grower is left
only 30 bushels in every 100 he raised,
and the government is unable to send the
70 bushels it takes to those portions of the
country where it is needed, Russia may not
have abundant food the coming winter.
There may be vast deal more truth in
the Moscow dispatch that Russia again
faces winter of suffering"

OUTFLAPPING THE FLAPPER-

Our fiappers may be bad enough, but lei
us comfort ourselves with the thought that
they might be worse. AS misery loves
company, so do we gain comfort from the
thought that others are worse off than our
selves although this ought to make us
unhappy.
So, while some may deplore the paint
and powder, the Hottentot hair, and all the
other follies of our own girls, there is
something still more Objectionable which
they have not yet done perhaps only be-
cause they have not thought of it, and
when it is called to their attention they
may take it up.
This is having themselves tattooed.
Tattooing has become such craze among
young girls of England, according to re-
ports, that local authorities are seeking
power to make it illegal to tattoo girls un-
der FL years of age.
The war, as usual, is blamed for the tat
too craze, which is more prevalent in
towns where soldiers and sailors are sta
toned. Girls who have these heroes for
lovers are said to have emblems supposed
to symbolic undying love and faith tat
tooed on their arms and chests.

KILLING THE. GOOSE

Hardly an American tourist returns from
Europe who does not complain of the ex-
orbitant price and charges he has had to
pay. He complains Of the railroads, the
hotels, the cafes, and everything, declar-
ing that he has been robbed" and vowing
never return again. But he complains
most of the cost of the drinks he had,
especially as Europe has diluted it's liquors
and wines to make them last the longer.
Evidently Europe is killing the goose that
has laid the golden egg.
But why go to Europe for drinks? At
very much less expense of travel and en-
tertainment the American tourist can go
to Canada. There if he take careful adj
vantage of the opportunities opened to
him under the law he can buy the finest
liquors at reasonable prices, all things con-
sidered. He can even have wines on the
table as he eats, provided he eats. He will
be assisted in every way possible to have
a real good time. So why go to Europe to
be plucked?

TO STOP COUGHING

We sincerely hope that all this talk
about investigating profiteering by some of
the big coal operators in this country will
result in something more than talk. AL
ready the federal government has come to
realize that the people are being robbed
openly and above-board by some of the
big mine operators, and if nothing comes
of probe then it's time to change our
system of government from stem to stern
and get away from politics long enough to
have general housekeeping. Filming
those who gouge the public doesn't do any
good. They pay the fine and laugh in
their sleeves then turn around and gouge
some more to get the money. back they
paid in fine. If a few penitentiary sent
ences were handed out it would stop high
way robbery by those who control that
which the public must have for sustaining
life.

WAR IN FAR EAST
IS CALLED OFF
An Armistice Is Declared Until
Peace Conference Session Can
Arrange Terms Satisfac-
tory to All Parties

PARASITIC return of Turkey to
Europe was assured tonight, when
Great Britain, France and Italy, at
tho final session of the allied con-
ference, unanimously agreed to con-
cede all the nationalist peace terms
The Turkish claims to eastern
Thrace to the Matriza river and in
Guiding the ancient Turkish capital
of Adrianople were approved as
peace terms that can be supported
by France, Great Britain and Italy
in a joint invitation sent to Musta-
pha Renal Pasha, the nationalist
leader, to a peace conference to be
held at Venice at the earliest pos
sible date.
The Kemalists must agree, in re-
turn, not to enter the present
neutral zone along the straits, onr
make any crossing elsewhere, and
must accept complete freedom Of
the Dardanelles, the sea Of Mar
mora and the Bosphorus, preferably
under the league of nations.
The invitation, which was cabled
by M. Poincare to Renal Pasha
personally, urges an immediate
meeting of the allies and Turkish
and Greek generals at Mudania to
formulate terms of an armistice
pending the conference. 1t is re-
garded as virtually certain that ke-
NAL will accept the conditions, and
reply is expected from Smyrna in
day or two.
In addition to other concessions,
Turkey is promised the support of
the three allies for admission to
the league of nations and also with
drawal of the allied troops from
Constantinople as soon as peace be-
comes effective.
The allied decision came as big
surprise, for as late as noon British
officials declared that Great Britain
would not approve any of the
Turkish claims in advance of the
peace conference. The change in
this policy came in the afternoon
after exchanges of many messages
between Lord Curzon and Premier
Lloyd George and several long tele-
phone conversations, which delayed
the final session from 2 o'clock to g..

Not many farmers, when they

unto their souls the fattering unc-

abolished" No other class of peo-
