THE JARR FAMILY
By ROY ', M,CARDELL

Here I am with the grip and burning up with fever and I'll bet a dollar the cold, minimizing world outside is wondering where it will get a ton of coal or pay it's bills and doesn't care a -"
 MT. Jarr did not get to finish this remark, because Mrs. Jarr took ad- vnatage of MT. Jarr's having his mouth open to lodge a very dry pow der deftly on his tonsils, which made him sputter and gasp moment. Then Mrs. Jarr, with calm uncon cern. dumped half glass of water into Mir. Jarr's gaping mouth, and the powder dry and acrid to the last. was washed down his throat.
 What were you saying, dear?" Mrs. Jarr asked mechanically
 q said the world outside was thinking of putting in it's coal, and here you are putting in ashes" re- piled MT. Jarr, whose mind was still on the powder. and some of this. as dry as ever. was still on his tongue.
 "The doctor says you are also to take these little tablets, two of them, every twenty minutes. They are cal omel, I suppose, and they'll do you good; and the powder every 20 min utes. That's for your stomach"
 And I'm not at my work, and mo- body thinks of me and nobody cares a-' MT. Jarr was afraid to go further, fearing another powder, but he knew what he meant when he meant it.
 Seeing Mrs. Jarr had left the room, Mir. Jarr suddenly decided he felt better and would get up. Once on his own feet he was his own boss. So he shaved himself, dressed. sat down and ate good breakfast and bo On5nN down n ba office.
 But if he thought the minimizing world thinking of putting in it's coal, was not thinking of him, he was mistaken.
 To instance, they were talking about him in Sors cigar store at the corner.
 That fellow Jarr's always sick" said Bepler. the butcher. What lie needs is plenty of meat; meat will keep everybody well.
 But when you're sick you can't eat meat; you want delicacies." said Schmidt, the delicatessen dealer. "Jarr's wife should send for pickled herrings and smoked sturgeon and things like that for his appetite"
 ''I got some fresh maple syrup that would fix Ed Jarr up better'n medi- cine" said Muller. the grocer.
 "Ah, box of good cigars is what he needs" was Sois opinion.
 Down at the office the general inn pression was that Jarr had been pat ronizinE bootlegEers and that his ab- sence was due to illegal alcoholic excesses. So MT. Jarr was received rather coldly when he did get down saw the doctor stop at the door with some alarm for as she said to her self, the doctor will charge us for the visit just the same, even if Mir. Jarr isn't here" But she squared it with the conscience of wifely econ- omy by having the doctor look at the children's throats while he was there the children having just come home from school.

THE SEWING BASKET
n1..>KET sPoRT WRAP


 For sports and all outdoor wear where an extra heavy wrap is need . ed it is an excellent idea to make one from a blanket. It must be, Of course very dark -colored blanket with pattern that is interesting enough to be used for wrap. It can be d steamer rug if you happen to have one that you do not mind using for that purpose or if you find one that you can buy without too much expense.
 They are good wraps to take along on Camping trips or on long motor rides. for not only can they be used for wrapping about your person. but they can be laid over your lap. or spread on the groun- for something upon which to sit when the ground is damp. They are the sort of thing tat can be dragged about and used for any purpose without spelling them and making them look as though they had gone through the war.
 The idea is to hold the blanket about you and to cut ir with slits for the sleeves and bend over a portion for a wide collar.
 A wrap of this sort can also be used for a bathrobe if you are living where you need something cozy and warm to wrap around you when you get out of bed.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TO Be TAUGHT
SAFETY FROM ACCIDENT COURSE

"safety; A School Project" is
the title of o new book which will
be introduced into grade schools
throughout California, with the
idea of intoxicating rules for safe
ty into the minds of school child
rem from their earliest years.
Compiled by Ella M. Newell, sSp-
ervisor Of special instruction in the
Los Angeles schools, and e. B. Lef-
ferts, manager of the public safety
department of the Automobile club
of Southern California, the book
carries an introduction by Will G..
Wood, state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, and is illustrated by
Los Angeles grammar school pupils
under the direction of Miss Mary
S. Morse.
In his introduction, Wood states
"the need for greater precaution
in order to avoid accidents, is re-
cognized everywhere, and it has
been agreed that the time to start
instruction with the idea of avoid
ing a tendency to carelessnes, is
when the child is young" He re-
commends the book as course OF
study in every school in the state.
The book contains lessons for
each of the grammar grades, to-
gether with suggestions to the
teacher for celebrating on them;
several pantomines by which the
danger of carelessness can be por-
trayed to the children; rules for or
ganizing and maintaining q safety
league among the children, and in
teresting data on accident statis-
tics from all parts of the country.
Neal II. Gavin, manager OF the
local branch of the automobile club,
has received q supply of the books
which will be distributed among
the schools of Imperial county. 1t
is planned to devote a certain per-
iod each week to the study of safe
ty, and from the enthusiastic man
ner in which the book has been
welcomed by school officials, it is
believed that much can be accom-
plished in training the children
away from the old spirit of "tak-
ing a chance' which has caused so
many accidents and deaths among
boys and girls everywhere.

URGES COUNTY
BOARDS APPLY

Motor Vehicles Division
Warns Supervisors of
Time Limit

The following letter is being
mailed to county clerks by Will II.
Marsh, chief of the division of
motor vehicles, in counties that
have not accepted the traffic Off
Ger provisions of the Breed bill. 1t
is the purpose of the department
head to point out the situation with
which the counties will be confront
ed should they fail to make con
tract with the chief of the Division
prior to September l.
Apportionment of funds from
the collection of fees by the divis-
ion of motor vehicles and due the
counties of the state of California
will be made prior to September l.
At this time l desire to again call
the attention to all boards of super
visors to section 80, of the Califor
MIA vehicle act of 1923, which pro-
vides that boards of supervisors
may enter into contract with the
chief of the division of motor ve
hicles for the employment of traf
fic officers in their respective
counties.
If such Appointments are to be
made by the boards of supervisors
they should be made prior to Sept
ember /, or notification of the in
tention of the board to do so should
be mailed or wired the department
prior to that date. On that date
the new motor vehicle law will be-
come effective and unless provision
is made in this manner for the en-
ployment of men to patrol the
highways, they cannot be legally
employed otherwise. Failure to sub
nit recommendations prior to Sept
ember l, will mean that no funds
will be available, for such purpose
before February \, 1924.
Contracts may be entered into
covering any desired period, for the
number of men required and fixing
their compensation. 1t is not the
desire of the chief of the division
of motor vehicles to force the traf-
fic provision of this act upon any
county in the state where it is pot
deemed advisable to employ such
officers and no such action is con
templated. The chief of the divis-
ion, however, believes it his duty
to advise counties in which no ac-
ton has been taken that the re-
sponsibility of enforcement of the
motor vehicle act in these counties,
or failure to enforce the same, will
rest solely upon the heads of boards
of supervisors so refusing. Such
action means that the citizens and
motorists in the counties so refus-
ing will not have the protection to
which they are entitled under the
law, and that the millions of dol
lars in highways in the subdivision
so effected will be practically un-
protected.
A comprehensive, complete and
uniform method of handling the
traffic situation in each of the
counties entering into contracts
will be put into effect by the chief
of the division September /.
Responsibility for non-enforce-
ment in the counties failing to
come within the provision of the
law must rest with the board of
supervisors of those counties
thereafter. y
