Ell, just as stranger who has been
youched for in polite society.
And so, as [ have been making q
thorough study of the new SUBJECT
of vitamins during the past two years,
I have been gratified to find that the
new 1923 Webster gives recognition to
the new discovery. A copy Of the new
dictionary has just been received st
the Normal. The definition takes Up
twenty-five lines and is as follows:
"Vitamin. Any Of group OF con-
stituents of most foods in their nat
ural state, of which very small GUAM
titles are essential for the normal nu-
triton of animals, and possibly OF
plants. Their chemical nature Is not
yet known. Three distinct vitamins
are recognized by the effect produced
on animals when these vitamines are
absent from the diet, namely: I'd
fat soluble vitamin A (2) water sol
uble vitamin B, and {3) water soluble
vitamin C. The first is abundant IN
butter fat, cod-liver oil, and other oils,
egg-yolk fat, green leaves, oranges
and perhaps other fruits, and lack OF
it in the diet causes a characteristic
affection of the eyes, failure of young
animals to grow, and finally death
It's absence also is a factor in rickets.

told here. And so is the following:
Al Beasley, for several years fol-
lowing the building of Roosevelt dam,
regaled all his Flagstaff friends with
minute details about it, how it was
built and looked, and all about the
country surrounding it. He had been
a close observer of the building oper-
ations and the development it brought
to the country close about.
One day, in Phoenix, Al suggested
to Charlie Keller, who was there on
business trip, that they go to Roose-
velt dam. Keller agreed, and the two,
with Tom Coalter and the latter's son,
Harry, made the trip. They stood on
the dam. Al was speechless for quite
q while, carefully taking In all the de-
tails. Suddenly he sighed, and SAID:
"Now l have seen this place, l can
tell the truth about it."
Charlie exploded. Damn it, you've
been telling all about it for the last
ten years! You've let US all think
you'd been spending most Of your time
here, and now we find out all you'd
been telling US you made up out of
your head!"

House during the afternoon session by
Representative Carpenter of Dallas.
The resolution would permit the states
to make up a quota of the nationality
and number of immigrants each is
willing and ready TO receive for any
given period; such quota would be for
warded to the National Bureau of I'M
migration and when added TO the
quota of other states would constitute
the number of immigrants eligible to
entrance into the United States during
the period specified. The proposed law
would REQUIRE the immigrants to re-
main in the states receiving them I'M
til they attained citizenship. Action
on the resolution was deferred.

ing amendments TO permit institution
of suits by the book companies to de-
termine validity of recent adoptions,
was passed finally in the Senate late
Thursday by vote of 10 TO S, with
one pair. The effect of the amendments
adopted is TO leave the entire matter of
text book adoptions in the hands of the
text book commission, it was stated.
An amendment by Senator Witt to
the Pope bill, which was adopted, di-
reefs the attorney general TO institute
an investigation of the recent awards
and in case such an investigation is
not begun within 60 days, book COM
panies holding awards are authorized TO
institute proceedings testing validity.
The amendment also provides that if
the contracts are found valid, the meas
ure shall have no effect on the con-
tracts. Another amendment adopted
provides that the contracts shall be ex-
tended only to August 81, 1925, or I'M
til the Text Book Commission adopts
other texts through valid procedure.
Several attempts were made 10 post
pone final action on the bill, but all
were defeated. During the debate on
the measure, Senator Bowers of Cald-
well, charged that representatives of
text book companies who lost contract
awards were behind the movement TO
annul the recent adoptiOns and that
such representatives were authors of

There Is more to good driving than
skill and glory. 1t is the greatest
of the motorists assets. the point
upon which he can rely in event of
misfortune.
Just because motorist is good
driver Is no reason to suppose that
he.is guaranteed against accidents or
collisions. The other fellow is fire.
Quently to blame and it's to prove
this that good driving can be of
greatest value.
Every time q motorist gives some
evidence that he is an observer of
law. order and common sense there
is some one to note the fact and pass
It along. with gossips interest. to
some ono else.
Every time a motorist does the
daredevil act there are ten times as
many people to form an adverse con-
clusion and pass 1t along. with COM
pound interest, to a community that
believes in believing the worst.
Guard Reputation Carefully.
Quite obviously a motorist is risk
his success and his happiness when
he bares himself to malicious gossip.
No man can ever tell when his future
hangs In the balance of his past. :.
What does your community think
of you as a driver? Does the butcher
look out to the street and remark.
Hell hit something some day! Or
does he make a mental note of the
way you always stop a safe distance
behind street cars that are taking
on or discharging passengers?
Your community, like the world in
general, isn't given to praise. but 1t
remembers!
A motorist who was held on a
charge of incompetency, following an
accident In which several people were
severely injured because his car start
was in process of docking. might
have been saved q conviction had
there been one bit of favorable testi-
n1ony. But the neighbor who might
have helped happened to remember
the accident that followed when the
motorist forgot to set the emergency
when leaving his car on q hill in
front of his house: and he naturally
preferred to maintain his neutrality.
BeneAts OF Good Habits.
When you are recognized in your
community as a good driver 1t means
this: In event OF trouble you will
have the benefit of the doubt. 'It
can't be his fault because he Is good
driver" the community reasons. And

or reckless it means that you fight a

Environment and treatment, it is
generally conceded. have much to do
in determining whether>a person will
go right or wrong in this world.
Hence 1t Is hard to understand why
car owners expect their motors to go
right regardless of the treatment
accorded them.
Like the young man who succeeds
against all odds the occasional car
wfthstands abuse and keeps clear of
the junk heap until having done
everything an exceptional car should
do. But most cars become victims of
their environment so quickly that
statesmen are buzzing the owners with
new models before the first year is up.
The reference is not to wilful de-
struction Of cars, but merely to the
unwise things modern drivers do to
their cars because they take too great
an advantage Of the Improvement in
car design and durability. There. is
difference.
For example, the owner of brand
new big six" was recently observed
driving through traffic in q way that
attracted attention because it was
done with 50 little effort There was
no clashfng of. gears, no jerking, no
grinding or puff Of exhaust smoke;
merely little acceleration of the
engine as the car would start off.
Veteran motorists began to wonder
whether he was operating some new
type of gas car or whether. he was
Just an exceptionally clever driver.
why Cars Go Wrong.
One observer was just curious
enough to follow along in an effort to
see how 1t was done. What he found
was that the pilot of the new car
was simply starting the car in high"
He had discovered that the motor was
powerful enough to do the trick, and
that by letting in the clutch gently

ed with the gentlenesS of a zephyr
and with little effort on his part.
Things like this-as any motorist who
has had experience knows-explain
why cars go wrong.
First the clutch plates burn and
warp. Then chattering begins when
ever the clutch is engaged. Then the
connecting rod bearings loosen. The
wrist pine wear out and. rap The
first thing the owner knows he is
in the market for a new car. He
doesn't realize that it was because he
expected too much from the old one.
This was an exceptional instance
Of bad treatment. but 1T is a warning
of how other drivers will be mall
