TEN COMMANDMENT FOR MOTORISTS

If all motorists would observe the following 'ten
commandments" there would be great reduction
in the number of accidents the highways:
L. Drive on the right side of the road it's just
good the left.
2 Slow down when approaching cross-road +;
It is nearly as dangerous railroad crossing.
3. Look out for children. You can never tell
what they will do, and yot always in the
wrong when you hit one.
a. Try to help instead of hindering the traffic
officer; he's there for your good and he's got a
Tough job.
5. Be sure that your lights are not defective or
glazing; it's no joke driving into binding glare,
as you yourself know.
g. Read and obey the warning signs they are
not put up ornaments.
7. If you've got to speed-do it where you
won't kill anybody but yourself.
8. When making minor repairs get all wheels
off the pavement and stop where your car can be
seen from both directions; otherwise you may
stop longer than you anticipated
9. Speeding around corners is straight route
TO the hospital. Don't past a stopped car.
Some day the jury will call it manslaughter.
TO- Use discretion. The fact that you had the
right-of-way won't bring anybody back to life,
least of all, yourself

What is so hard as days work

Or sharp stabs of pain at every sud-

There is no peace from that dull

dreadfully and it hurt me to stoop.
My kidneys acted irregu1arly, too.

VIZ WAIT ON GEoRGE?-Th

good town, as towns go. We all admit it, and are
proud of it. But there is one fly in the community
ointment that prevents from advancing as
rapidly as we should.
Everybody is willing to have things done, but
wants to let George do it, ind when George
reaches certain point he balks He gets tired of
carrying the whole load.
What need is greater spirit of cooperation
a willingness the part of each one to do his or
her share in the advancement OF our community
interests. In every community there are always
few who are willing to work for the public good
They are the Georges.
There are also a lot of others who willing
to let them do it. They are not Georges
Once in while we read of some town like F1tz-
gerald that keeps booming and showing right
along regardless of conditions or handcaps.
Such town is full of Georges, and because the
Georges are so numerous none Of them IS over
worked and there is occasion for baking.
Why can't we all be Georges in Fitzgerald?
There is for Improvement, and we have
plenty of people with the brains of George.

THE TEACHERS RECEPTION BY THE

COMMUNITY-The September number OF The
Community League News OF Virginia, which has
lust reached the Bureau Of Education, suggests
among other work for League members during
the month the following: "Plan reception for
the teachers See that the teacher has comfora-
bic boarding house" This is excellent all-year
round service. The people well as the school
trustees, should assume responsibility for the
provision in the community of a living place for
the teacher which is at least as good that from
which she comes, which is accessible to the school
house and which offers her privacy and comfort
during the school term. Usually the teacher is not
familiar with the resources of the community
She should be directed to a good living place
her arrival if possible, but if not then, later
In addition to finding good living place, the
teacher should be made welcome in the community
not only when she comes but all during her resi-
dence in it, She should be made to feel that she
is looked upon a real parsonage, one whose SER
vices are valued and whose presence is cordially
appreciated Such a reception will help the teach
er to begin her work with enthusiasm and cour-
age an achievement which is eminently worth
while to the community. OF still greater import
ance, this cordial attitude intellectually eX
pressed by the adults of the community, will in
still respect, and consideration for the school and
the teacher on the part of the children which will
prove of inestmable value to their progress dur;S1
the school year.

A Record of Devastation

A Record of Devastation
The United States has cause for
shame in her record of forest devas-
tation. The carelessness of the peo-
pie in setting accidental forest fires
and the inadequate protection against
fire thru parsmony in the state and
federal provisions, IS wasting our val
liable timber resources to danger
Gus degree, not only FOR posterlty,
but to our own generation. This week
again national forest fires were rag
ing in California, at ten different
points, and out of control before tens
of thousands of acres were destroyed.
Swedenis Inexhaustible Forests
The forests of Sweden have been
drawn upon for at least 1000 years
fer commercial purposes, and still
cover about 81 per cent of the total

their rapidly increasing output OF in
dustrial products, which compose Oh
per cent of their country's exports.

The Cage for the Bird
Not the least of the preparati ons
for the flight OF the Shenandoah to
the far west is that of a port for her
safe-keeping on arrival. The old
adage "any old port in Storm" will
not apply here, as it takes very par
ticular and distinctive arrangements
to moor such giant craft The place
chosen is a military reservation ten
miles from Tacoma, Washington. The
mooring mast stands 1870 feet high
on prairie site, to allow plenty OF
room to maneuver this or other diri-
gibles. The mast is a tube of steel
firmly imbedded in the earth and beed
by cables anchored in concrete blocks.
Twenty surge lines are also~Xnchored
in concrete. On the top N the mast
is a swivel to allow ths$dirigible to
move with tbs.~eiffftd''iik IKE monster
we sstneertock. At the top is also a
'fpattery of flood lights t. illuminate
the space of mile in every direction.
Three large pipes run alongside the
mast to carry gas, water, and gaso-
line to the airship.
