The editor recently heard brief discussio
n whether it is lawful for election judges to G
o the bedside of citizen who is ill and take hi
ote. Because Of this discussion we are reprint
ng the following even though its suggestion
o longer timely for the present campaign.
Election judges are forbidden by law
to take ballots to voters who are ill or
cannot leave their homes, but they may
take ballots out to the curb in front of
the polling booths and permit a cripple
who cannot leave the automobile to vote,
City Clerk Henry N. Knott of Minnea-
polls announced, in answer to numerous
inquiries.
"This means that many persons in
hospitals or who are unable to leave
their homes cannot VOTE" he said, "but
if the person is able to drive to the poll
ing place but finds it almost impossible
to get out of the car he can call for a
ballot"

in Minnesota" County Journal.

JUST BE GLAD

o heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry SOL
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have, you know!
What we've met Of Stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alone!-
Were not shine and shower blent
AS the gracious Master meant p
Let us temper our content
With His own.
-,
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow s.as
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

thing that cannot be tested In this
gigantic laboratory. yet 1t is one OF
the most vital points in connection

The way cars are tested at Detroit,

Splitting the Eight
With the advent of many straight
eight motors inventors are said to
be turning their attention to type
of straight eight that can be split
into independent tours and used as
such when speed and power are not
required. 1t Is simple enough to
split the engines but the problem
lies in harmonizing the motors so as
to prevent vibration when they work
in unison.

Lessons From Accidents

Apparently it doesn't always pay
to prepare to jump out of the car
when a collision seems impending.
This was clearly demonstrated in a
recent collision of the telescOping
type where the unexpected stopping
OF one car caused several to ram into
each other. Noting the impossibility
of avoiding the smash. the wife Of
the driver of the rear car put her
hand on the door handle and sat for
ward on the front seat with the idea
of jumping as soon as there was an
opportunity.
The front doors Of the car hap
pened to he the sort that open toward
the front instead of the reverse as Is
more common. When the impact
came the woman was thrown forward
and straight out OF the car. barely
escaping n fractured skull. She was
the only member of the party that
was injured. The rest braced their
feet and took the shock as best they
could.

The reasons simple. Automobiles

takes but a few minutes to do this

serious mistake in reading the

Always try new and doubtful
polish on some part of the car where
the least amount of damage would be
done il it didn't work out as adver--
tised. 4 fender is excellent for this
as such part of the car could be
removed and done over with very lit
tie trouble. If the polish is for the
painted body. rather than the enam-
elled parts, try strip at the bottom
of the doors. Never tackle the rear
deck until you are thoroughly salts
fed with the reliability of the polish.
