WHO HOGS CORNERS
"Auto Pig" is New Name for
Guy Who Steals Wrong
Side of Highway Curves.

Laws and rules for automobile
safety usually require operators
to drive slowly around curves and
to sound horn where you are
unable to look ahead. Yet many
drivers persist in driving rapidly
around twisting roads where they
are unable to look ahead, and
they rarely sound their horns.
Such drivers have an easy feel
ing that they could stop their car
in season if they saw another car
approaching. They might be able
to do so if one was coming around
curve very slowly. But if an
other car was coming at anything
like the same rate as their own,
it would be impossible to avoid a
smash.
AS a matter of fact many accl-
dents do occur as the result OF
such fast driving around twisting
roads. The highways through a
rough country curve good deal,
as the road was bent around to
avoid the irregularities of ground.
Special care is needed in such To-
calities.
The danger is particularly mar
ked where these roads are narrow
as they are in many wooded and
billy sections. On many of these
roads there is barely room for two
cars to pass under any conditions.
1t seems crazy for drivers to tear
along on such narrow and curving
roads. If they meet another car,
they ought to go quite slowly any
way, even if there were no curves,
to make sure that they would pass
without hitting.
The excuse given by many
drivers for such methods, is that
other people do the same thing,
or drive even faster. But they
should reflect that many accidents
are happening all the time, and as
the result of just such habits.
These accidents cause a great deal
of sorrow and trouble, they lead
to costly lawsuits. 1t is far bet
ter to adopt these prudent meth
DDS that make driving relatively
safe. Those who cannot listen to
these counsels deserve treatment
whenever detected in their reckless
ways.

EAGLE AGAIN IN VIEW
German Bird Painted on SEN
ate Picture Released From
Imprisonment.

Madison, Wis.-The eagle of I'm
perial Germany, perched conspicu-
ously in the foreground Of the
Wisconsin senate chamber paint
ing is tempted to scream with un-
usual vigor these days.
He has been released from his
wartime Imprisonment behind the
American flag, and is once more
the special object of sightseeing
tourists who view the artists por-
trayal of world peace and good
will depicted by the painter of the
senate picture.
When it was that this defiant
looking German bird came out in
to full view again, is not known
in the capitol. Since early in 1917
the eagle had been behind the
folds of the American flag, pinned
in this protecting position at the
direction of the senate while the
United States was at war.
Following hostilities and upon
the renewal of peace with Ger
many the American flag continued
to hold it's place in front Of the
German bird. People imagined
that the flag was part Of the pic
ture.
Then, according OF the office of
the superintendent Of public pro-
perty, the pin came loose, and
again the eagle came to the front
where it remains, a part of a gen
eral picture.
Conceived to represent world
peace that had endured for years,
the senate painting had scarcely
dried before the World War broke
out in 1914. The German eagle,
representing the German nation,
has its place with the shield of
Great Britain and emblems of
other countries.
Capitol authorities say that the
German bird will be permitted to
retain it's place unobstructed.

Blessed by God, even the
father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all Comfort:
Who cOmfOrteth us in all our
tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which
are in any trouble, by the
comfort wherewith we our
selves are cOmfOrted of God.
Whether we be afflicted, it
is for your consolation and
salvation, which is effectual
IN the enduring of the same
sufferings which we also suf-
fer: or whether we be COM
forted it is for your conso-
lation.
As We are partakers of the
sufferings, so shall We be
also of the consolation."-

written and unwritten laws regulat-
ing conduct and directing the ac-
tivities of men.
All nations have such laws coming
down from past ages. The japanese
have their Bushido, or laws Of the old
Samurai warriors. During the Middle
Ages, the knights of King Arthur
and various crusading orders, such as
the Knights Templar, developed in
Europe and the Holy Land the laws
of chivalry. In aboriginal America,
the Red Indians had their code of
honor; likewise the Zulus. Hindus,
and the later European nations have
their ancient codes.
The following laws, which relate
to the Boy Scouts of America, are
the laws boy promises to obey
when he takes his Scout oath:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, help
full, friendly, courteous, kind, obedi-
ent, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean
and reverent.

to destroy all the ideals that you
have been at so much pains to i'm
plant. Try the Youths Companion
