SLUGGISH BLOOD

IN Winter you eat freely of hch,
heavy foods and do not get enough

blood is impure and sluggish when
spring comes. You feel dull and

and are easily tired.

Road Conditions From D. C..

Road conditions may be said to
range from fair to excellent on all
main routes radiating from the Dis
trict Of Columbia, according to
report just issued by the Washington
Motor Club. the District branch of
the National Motorists Association.
The following list covers the tour
ing highways on which there are
the greatest number Of calls for in
formation. There are no annoying
detours in the immediate vicinity OF
Washington. The Maryland state
roads commission advises that they
have completed all oiling work for
this season.
Dirt roads which were fairly well
smoothed out have beeen roughene.d
considerably by recent rains, and 1t
is suggested that inquiry he made at
the headquarters OF the National Mo-
torists' Association for detail infor-
nation before attempting tours on
the unconventional roads,

follow Lincoln highway through
Trenton. Princeton, New Brunswick.

being but one small detour around
local construction.
Washington to Atlantic City.-Fol-
low Washington boulevard route or
Georgia avenue-Olney connection to
Baltimore and Wilmington, as de-
scribed above. thence crossing Penns
Grove ferry and out Main street di-
rect through Buena Vista and Mays
Landing into Atlantic City. The
longer route via Philadelphia and
White Horse pike might be considered
a good alternate in the event of Penns
Grove ferry becoming congested with
automobiles. which is often the case
during Sundays and holidays.
Susquehanna Trail to Central and
Western New York-This trunk line
highway. which was described exclu-
sively in The Star, is a recommended
route for reaching the scenic sections
of central Pennsylvania, the Finger
Lake district of central New York
and the great lakes at Rochester on
Lake Ontario and Buffalo on Lake
Erie. Excellent macadam and con-
crete to Gettysburg and Wiiliamsport.

KEEP BOTH HANDS
UPON THE WHEEL
You May Get Hit From Rear
and Smash Into a
Pole.

Motorists are cautioned time and
time again to drive with both hands
on the wheel, yet one-hand steering
continues unabated and is too often
encouraged by the stock argument
that as practically all makes of cars
are equipped with steering gears of
the frreversible type no ordinary un-
expected road inequality will be more
than one hand can comfortably
handle.
But the road surface is not the
only factor to be considered in steer
ing, as an investigation of recent
odd accident showed.
A driver was ambling along quiet
street al not more than ten miles an
hour. He was steering with the left
hand only, grasping the rim of the
wheel a little below the halfway
hand WAS saluting passing pedes-
trian. Suddenly, and without warn
ing, a day-dreaming motorist ran his
car squarely into the left rear fender
of the slower moving machine, caus-
ing it to bound forward. The sudden
impetus from behind naturally threw
everything forward, including the
driver. and, since his left hand was
firmly grasping the wheel, 1t eXerted
sudden upward motion to the rim
This caused the car to swerve to the
right. That meant heading in the
direction of the pavement. where a
sturdy telegraph pole was In readiness
to smash up the front OF the machine:
Had both hands been on the wheel
the forward motion OF the mans
body and his hands would not have
had such a decisive effect upon the
steering. In all probability the car
would have bounded straight ahead,
sparing all the front end damage.

switch it on again. Why did you pull
on the emergency brake: You were
on level ground and the car had al
rost enough momentum to carry 1t
off the car tracks. Why did you leave
.ne gears In neutral" You might
just as well have shifted on through
to low because you had to do that
eventually. With the clutch out and
the gears back In low and the car
just rolling forward slightly, you

and proceeded without blocking the
traffic at all.
But to avoid the trouble OF going
slip the gears in second when you
are slowing UP behind other cars or
coming to a stop. Then you are safe.
for the gears are all set for low
speed or even for starting. 1t is per-
missible to start car in second speed
providing the engine IS warm and the
street level"
Following Eratic Tranic.
Just then we got into a line of cars
which moved first at snaifs pace
and then with quick starts and stops.
AT my suggestion Smith tried running
straight along in second without
trying to shift into high" With the
task of shifting gears off his mind he
was able to give his attention to
steering and to applying the brakes.
which are more necessary in traffic
than smooth riding.
Finally we got out on the boule-
ward. For while Smith would speed
along and then come to dead stop
when the traffic ahead halted at a
crossing. Thus he used his brakes ex-
cessively and occasioned himself lot
OF extra work starting again. But the
next time | saw the cars coming to a
stop ahead l suggested driving slow.
This he did; and by the time we
reached the crossing, traffic was NOV
ing again. 1t wasn't necessary to do
thing but keep going.
That simplifies matters, doesn't
it," Smith exclaimed. He had caught t
the secret of good driving.

When Santa Claus
Was Late
BY KATHERINE EDELMAN

Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1923-12-06

WHERE. w utu uudlly tuc
jolly little man did appear all the
mothers and fathers in the world
heaved deep breath of relief, for
there is no mother or father in all the
world that would not feel even more
disappointed than their children If
Santa failed to come at Christmsa
time.
OF course, it was not Santa's fault
that he was late that Christmas-it
was all due to his RENDERS. He had
been a bit impatient with them that
day, but his impatience was all caused
by the amount of work that lay before
him and because of his eagerness to
get to the children. But the RENDERS
did not stop to think about this, in
stead, they planned to play trick
on Santa Claus to get even with him
for Gliding them. So, when they
started out to make their trip around
the world, they whispered among
themselves while Santa sat doing in
the sleigh. He had givei them in
structions to wake him ar the very
first stopping place on the list. But,
instead of doing as they were told and
keeping close to earth, the reindeers
thought 1t would be great joke on
Santa Claus if they scared upward to
the nearest planet instead. So upward
they plunged, as fast as their flying
feet could carry them. and they had
nearly reached that far-off planet when
Santa woke up with start. Seeing
the trick that had been played on him
he became very angry and told them
how much unhappiness the little chill
dren would suffer If their plans had
carried. He then ordered them to make
for earth as quickly as possible, telling
them that there might yet be time to
distribute all the. gifts. They were
very frightened now at the thing they
had done and their hearts We're full OF
sorrow lest they should be late with
their gifts, so they put on all speed
that it was possible for them to do and
spun dizzily through the air.
They made the trip to earth in rec
ord time and not little boy or girl
was missed as they went swiftly from
house to house, nor did any OF them
know how nearly they came to having
no Christmas at all, because of the
trick which the RENDERS tried to play
on Santa Claus.

Jim was amazed when he returned
for his first visit that Christmas. The
house had been reprinted and plas-
tered, the leak stopped in the roof !;
It looked neat and trim, and Luela
was raising chickens. geese and tur-
keys, too. The land made fine run
for them, though the young turkeys
had to be kept off the wet places.
Guess I'll soon be able to retire and
take up poultry raising, Jim, DEAR"
Luella smiled.
They were very happy that visit,
for in another year Jim hoped to be
making enough to be able to ask LuelIa
to marry him. But the business de-
preston grew worse instead of better,
and Jim's letters became more and

her.
"Oh, mother, dear, what will Jim say
when he knows? Don't you breathe a
word! I'm going to the stati.n to

Jim stared at the smart motorcar
that drew up before the depot. No

the smartly garbed young woman who
stepped out of it and flung her arms
round his neck in the sight of every
body.
'Luella, what's happened? Have

When Jim reached the house, he saw
