In 1922 there was one person killed
by automobiles for every 959 ma
chimes registered. While it is true
that the number of victims was the
large number of 10000 or one thous-
and more than the total number of
car owners in the State of Delaware
in 1917, it must he recalled that 959
motor cars average about 5000 miles
per year, seat an average of three
passengers and thus contribute to
transportation 1855 900 passenger
miles Of service. 1t is unfortunate
that one life should be sacrificed for
this amount of transportation, but
not surprising.

that most motorists forget the simil-

enough to get out a wrench. 1t just
made me wonder what would happen
if he went to his doctor with a seri-
Gus complaint and expected q remedy
right off the reel.
Half this unsatisfactory repair
business is the result of hurryin' the
repairer. We don't get time enough
to think, let alone do the work prop
erly. and the result is we take flyer

Many time l have given a car 4

we'll enough that after a few days
the car will be in need of attention
again.

immediate remedy; YOU expect treat
ments. He secs YOU Il few minutes
q few times a week. He studies the
progress of the treatment, and soon
forms a better idea of what to give
you in the way of remedies because
he has a better idea of what's wrong.
IF car owners would apply this
idea to their important repair work
they'd be a whole lot better off. One

Yes, We Still

jamestown, Dec. 21.-Now this is
no flight of Christmas fancy or
homebrew dream but an actual fact
that today, this goth day of Deem
Der. in the outskirts of. the city Of
jamestown, a live and happy yellow
butterfly was seen fitting from
tree to tree and wondering where

were. The person who vouches for
this phenomenon does not wish her
name to appear in connection with
the announcement because of the
fact that she has relatives and
friends now spending the winter in

they know it came from her, would
insinuate that the story was just
Matched up to make them feel badly
or jealous of North Dakota weather.
However, this butterfly business is
not at all to be wondered at for, in
the same garden where it appeared,
bees have been going on a daily air
ing, leaving the basement, where the
hives are kept, about the middle of
the day and returning toward sum
set.

Swiss Tracks Ready
For Winter Events
OF Olympic Games

Chamonix, France. Dec. 2l.-The
skating rink. ski-jumps, curling rink
and bobsleigh chutes for the win
ter Olympic Sports opening January
25th, are now practically finished.
The skating rink measures 227
metres in length and 80 metres vide.
The track for speed skating possess
es all the latest improvements in the
way of drainage, water squirting APP
paratus, electric lights, dressing
rooms, etc. 1t measures 400 metres
around and is ten metres wide, ex-
cepting at the turns where the width
is increased to IS metres.
In the interior of the track a rink
of 70 metres by 30 is reserved for
hockey. Figure skating and curling
Kinks are installed in each corner of
the area outside the hockey rink
proper. There is accommodation for
10000 spectators.
The ski-jumps are situated on the
very slopes of Mont Blanc, near the
little village of Mont. The taking
off track is 70 metres long to the &C
tual jumping off place and the land
ing track measures 17S metres in
which the jumper can check the mo-
mentum reached in the jump. It is
the opinion of experts that all rec
ords for ski-jumping will be broken
here. A little truck on the narrow
gauge railroad used in the building
Of the jumps, escaping from the
workmen at the top Of the track,
cleared 65 metres before landing.
The bobsleigh track is 1,76O metres
long, nearly mile and furlong.
The downward grade averages 3
metres to the hundred, but in certain
spots it reached IA percent. Some of
the turns, numbering Is in all, are
nearly vertical, in two cases reaehing
an angle of seventy to eighty de-
grees. The United States, England,
