TRY EN- ON PEDETRIANs

The number of pedestrians being
so large that some measures seem nee
essary to protest automobile drivers
from them, these suggestions to solve
the problem are offered in the spirit
in which they will be accepted.
All pedestrians shall be required
Take out a license.
Wear n front and rear bumper.
BE equipped with front and rear
lights properly focused.
Have bell or horn attached and
sound same when starting to cross
street.
Look before they stop.
Of women) Wear long skirts so as
not to distract attention of drivers
from their driving.
After being run down by automo-
bile must get on sidewalk before ex-
pressing opinions of driver.
Bear number in place conspicuous
enough so motorists may read as he
runs over victim.
Not stop in middle of street to adj
mire passing style show.
Pass examinatio sh owing they are
qualified. to be pedestrians.
Not park longer than five minutes
on any street crossing.-Omaha World

ANGLEWORMS.

The pillow has been a great agency
for the improvement of the soil and
the consequent enrichment of the king
dom which the Creator has furnished
man. but the humble and insignificant
fishworm has done more than the plow
has done in all its history.
Millions of years ago the fishworm
began its never-ending task of working
up the soil and of mixing it with the
mould from dead leaves and other vege-
tation. Professor !. Arthur Thomp-
son. author of "The Outline of
Science" estimates that on the aver
age the fishworms in an acre of ground
pass 100 tons of soil through their
bodies each year.
They are doing their most important
work just at this time of the year.
AS the leaves fall to the ground the
worms take them and work them into
the soil. This process brings about the
formation of "humus." without which
it would be impossible to raise food
CROPS. Fishworms are therefore neces-
sary to the life of man and many other
creatures.-Wichita Beacon.

But he continued studying mcchar-

ideas to the fullest.
But Ford remained on the farm for
three more years. During that time
he kept on working at his gasoline
engine. His one idea was the creation
of n horseless farm tractor. While
working on this, however, he thought
what wonderful plan it would b.
also TO have hOrselcSs transportation.
For the fulfillment of these ideas,
Ford decided he had to have more
time than the farm could give him.
He induced his wife to move to De

work in a machine shop and spend
his evenings working on his inyeIr
ton.
Ford has been known to have 4

NEW BABIES FOR OLD

Wien President Millerand declares
that France must have babies and
make men of them" he is frightened
by boy babies across the Rhine. He
visions another war. He is to blunt.
But if Monsieur lie President had said
that France needs babies to sweeten its
home life-that would have been an
other matter. He would have played
upon the heart strings of his peO-
pie had he talked of what babies mean
to hOuscholds-of how they take one
from the workaday world into the
land of :nake-beleve. Really. when all
is said. about everything home needs
to make it a bit of paradise is old
books and new babies. And We are
inclined to believe that France would
not suffer so much from nerves if
its men spent less time over their
wine in discussion of world politics.

The Fords were in Detroit two
years when he succeeded in compiet-
ing his gasoline engine. 1t was run
ming beautifully. All lie had to do
now was devise the transmission.
1t was rainy day in April. 1898
when the Fords seated themselves -

down the street. The carriage went.
Little did they think of the rain
1t was the carriage that kept thcis
attention and raised their hopes to
heights Of a wondrOus future.
Ford had accomplished his task. Al
he wanted was to get the capital for
the production of his invention. I'm
his first attempts Ford was turned
down. Men with money were skeptI-
cal.
But Ford was bent on perfecting
his invention. \ son, Edsel. had
been born to him in that year. and
the addition in the family gave him
an impetus toward greater financial
heights.
Coffee Jim Helps Him.
Meantime. Duryea in Springfield,
had produced automobiles. and once
in while Ford would see n horse
less carriage roll up the street.
1t bothered him. He must perfect
his own machine. One cylinder would
not do. Too little power.
So Ford set TO work again. For
