In time. and we hope 1t will be soon
there will be an excellent two-way
road up the mountain. At the pres
ent time the road is wide enough for
two cars to pass at almost any place
on the road. but n degree of caution
is necessary to insure absolute safety.
Before rounding the turns sound
your horn and slow down. There
may be n a coming down.
Hesitate at all turnouts and see II
there is n car making the descent, and
try to pass him at the safest and
most convenient place. A little III
tesy will go a long way toward guar
anteeing perfect safety.
In coming down. always make It
in gear and do not trust your brakes
altogether. Barney oldfield has laid
down a rule in this regard which is
always safe to foilow-'Always go
down in the same gear in which you
went up" II you came up the noun
tain in low gear, go down that way
with o u ignition cut off. Save your
brakes. o may need them before

and give him al much room on the
turns as possible.
There are two iaws governing the
right of the road'-the law of cour-
tesy nj the statute Law. As our
statutes are out of date in governing
the heavy traffic OF today. it is well
to follow the law of courtesy. "Troat
your fellow motorist as you would like
to be treated" It has been well
said that 1.-THE most obnoxious ami
nal in the world is the road hog. He
is Just like n other hog except
that you can't eat him"
There are many beautiful little
parks on top of the mountain, all of
them excellent picnic grounds. AL
most all OF them are located on pri-
vate land upon which homesteaders
have settled. So far these home
steaders have not objected to Sunday
picknickers using their land and we
should so conduct ourselves that they
will be glad to have us enjoy their
hospitality. Put out your camp fire.

Bridge Lighted

DOUGLAS-The current for the
lights on the new bridge across the
Platte river has beer turned on and
the. structure at night now is as bright
as day. The handsome globes and
standards add to the attractive ap'
pearance of the bridge. which Is prob
ably the best in the state. The lights
have been placed by the Dorglas Com
munity Club at an expense Of over
5000. the town Of Douglas furnishing
the current. The first night tho
lights were on some one. with the
spirit of a real vandal, shattered one
of the globes. There is little chance
that it was done accidentally, the
guilty one apparently enjoying the
opportunity to destroy something.
Any person caught destroying this
property. or defacing 1t, will be Sc

Dear Friend Perplexed:
The condition you mention might
be caused by the wearing down of
the brake lining until the brake
rivets drag on the drum. 1t might
also be caused by the wheel being
pressed too far upon the axle. so that
scraping noise were transferred to
tho drum instead OF to the band. The

OLD WOOD SHIPS OF NAVY
Tennessee Was Equipped With Both
Sails and etsam-vstsran esamsa
Instructed New Inventions.

His 46 years In the service were
spent during the navy's transitional
times. When he entered the Naval
academy all Of our war vessels were
wooden sailing ships; his midship
mans cruises were made aboard the
Oonstellation-she was 80 low between
decks that only half-grown boy
could stand erect; 30 badly ventilated
through her tiny portfolios that ones
mouth tasted like a copper penny In
the morning-but, oh, the satisfying
beauty Of those old full-rigged sailing
shipsl The admiral's thoughts went
yearningly back to the memory Of the
towering, sun-drenched, white sails and
cOlOrful old hulls coming up like gulls
across the horizon line over the rim Of
the world: the ultimate perfection Of
grace, symmetry and romance.
"The navy's always been conserva-
tive" decided the admiral, affection
ately remembering the oid-time COM
modOres who, through wide and varied
experience, had come to have ripe
knowledge and respect for the ways
of the wind, and who entertained
neither interest nor enthusiasm where
innovations were concerned. Steam
did not intrigue them; they mistrusted
it and took grudging chances with this
new motive power; sails were retained
as a guaranty Of sanity and safety
long after the use of steam had pro-
crossed far beyond the experimental
stage. The admiral chuckled, re-
calling the old Tennessee-which car
ried just enough coal to steam out of
port; then, at the harbor's mouth,
dumped the fires and hoisted her /
faithful sails, as did all the vessels of
that early fleet-Rappahannock, Bos-
ton, Galena, Philadelphia, Yantic,
Quinnebog, Swatara = the admiral
named them over to himself like a |
well-beloved rosary, and exulted in the
precious memory Of those gallant years !
when sails were still spread, adven-
ture still fourished and fighting men |
still looked their adversaies in the |
eyes-instead Of shooting impersonally |
at them from IL miles away!
ave lived too longp decided the |
admiral with grimness; then smiled |
ruefully at the sudden remembrance Of
his first cruise aboard the Bear; de-
tailed to search around Alaska for |
missing ship.-Harriet Welles

EMPLOYER SIZED UP HIS MAN
Incident Which Occurred on Road Re-
veaIed Character Of Prospective
Employee.

A successful Maine business man
was sitting on his porch one day talk
Ing with a visitor. An automobile in
which a party Of young friends rode,
passed the house and then swung into
the side Of the highway. The young
man who was driving got out and
looked at the tire on the front wheel
1t was fiat. He walked to the rear Of
the car, looked at the spare tire and
then said something to one of the
other young men who had gotten out.
The other made reply and both got
into the car 1t was turned around
and driven down the street. The bust
ness man watched the operation but
said nothing.
Half an hour later the party came
back along the road and proceeded out
Of sight.
II suppose you noticed that?" said
the business man to his guest.
II don't know as understand" re-
piled the other.
THAT car which just passed had
fiat tire the first time they came by
here. They turned around and went
back and now they have passed again."
II remember that car now, but did
not notice that 1t was the same" was
the reply.

about made up my mind to give him
the chance, but I wouldn't take him
on after watching this incident"
His friend expressed surprise and
the business man went on to explain.
he called attention to the type of
car the party was using and said that
the work Of changing the tire would
not have required more than twenty
minutes while 1t ought to be done In
considerably less time. The car
should have all the necessary equip
ment for making the change. If 1t
didn't. the young man showed care
lessness in not having his tools in |
place when he started on the trip. 1T !

he might have gotten q bit Of dirt on |
his hands and trousers, but the one |
could have been washed and the other |
brushed. By making the change him
self, he would not have lost the time
necessary to go back to garage to
have It done and would have saved
that expense, but he wouldn't take the
chance Of the little dirt. 1t Is I'M
