Lessons From Accidents.

The following true story
tragedy-will illustrate one of the
most fundamental points in driving
an automobile:
At o'clock in the morning four
people in a motor car were proceed
ing down certain street and, think
ing they were on the thoroughfare
that leads into the city. came upon
dead end of the paving. There was
nothing so unusual about it, for many
motorists get off their course and
are forced to stop. But in this par
tlcuiar case the car went off the end
or the street, dropped forty feet and
killed three of the occupants outright.
The fourth may recover
tracing back through the history
or the driver, it was found that he
was known for astounding speed in
ordinary driving. The car was found
with the brakes set and there was
evidence to show that the danger was
realized in what would ordinarily
nave been time to stop. The head
Ilshts gave a view of the road 300
feet ahead, which would have meant
oeen travelling thirty miles an hour.
1t is frequently said that the un-
expected will happen. And so in this
case. But the part of the accident
that wasn't unexpected was the speed
the driver travelled. That was an
ever-preSent warning that sooner or
later reckleSSneSs would unite with
circumstance. There could be only
one answer.

Economy in Cleaning.

Inability to keep the car looking
presentable is largely a matter of
overlooking the Importance of prac-
ttclng economy in cleaning. Under
certain conditions certain parts of the
car should be attended to and at GER
to make the proper distinction.
After wet weather the average car
owner if interested in the appearance
of his car promptly gets busy with
the rags and polish. This is all/Very
well. But why bother to clean the
wheels? Ninety per cent of the
streets and roads will still be in bad
condition and the ma jority of the cars
will of necessity show muddy wheels
1t is simply wasting effort to clean
them and sacrificing time that might
better be spent in cleaning. let us say,
the top or polishing the trimmings.
1t is a waste of time to dry off the
nickel trimming after the car has
been out in the rain if this is done
merely as a precauttion against hav-
ing them rust. Have a can of nickel
polish handy and combine drying
with polishing the next day anyway
The proper and economical time
to dust a car is just before it rains,
contrary to general opinion. A clean
car that goes out into the rain is far
less troublesome to get into shape
for presentation again Clean the
windshield and the windows with a
chamois while they are still wet
Anything to save time on cleaning,
for that means more time for more
cleaning.

Ballast and the Bus.

II the light car seems to ride de-
cidedly better when there is a pas
senger in the rear, and if the extra
passenger is very rarely carried, it is
sometimes practicable to add some
weight to the rear by packing some
heavy material under the rear seat.
This does not necessarily result in
greater gas consumption, as the
wheels get better traction and waste
less gas because they spin less.

Did You Know

That the weather and temperature
has lot to do with your success in
polishing the car? A clear, dry day,
not too cold, is usually best for good
results. Do not attempt to polish the
car when it is brought in from the
cold or even cool outdoors to the
warm garage. Moisture will collect
on the surface and make polishing
doubly difficult.
That a rag thoroughly saturated
with auto polish is very effective for
removing mud splashes, If they are
not too numerous An oily rag will
only loosen the mud, whereas the
polish soaked rag will restore the
shine on the body.
That the deep rattlinR noise from
the rear of the car when it is being
driven through ruts in a dirt road
are warning of loose spring bolts.
These should be frightened up as soon
as possible, and new bushings insert
ed If they have worn badly.

DISSEMINATING KING WINS
 OUT IN NEW YORK RACE

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Inter- national Polo Games and the Beauty Contest were disregarded in South Street last night when the Oyster Eating Sweepstakes was held at Pat O'Connor's place, South Street and Coenties Slip.
 The champion who won the gold medal was W. G. Smith, a seaman plying between New York and Buenos Aires. Outwardly there is nothing un- usual about him. He is of medium height and girth. But he is a master of technique and in fifteen minutes he had absorbed from the half shell eleven dozen large oysters.
 All the entrants lined up at the counter while the spectators were kept at distance. At the word "go' they started.
 After the decision was announced it was said that the record made by James Anderson who ate 165 oysters in fifteen minutes in 1887 still stood.
 MT. O'Connor, after the contest was over, said that the art of oyster eat ing had disappeared. He said that the men in these parts seemed to enjoy oysters more, but eat less at time. He said in Baltimore he had seen men eat as many as two hundred oysters at one sitting.

WHY NOT ELECT HIM

At a recent session of the legisla- ture an effort was made to have the Territorial Superintendent of Educa- ton elected by the people. When this bill was introduced a great howl went up from certain interested poli- ticianS that the schools would be pros tituted by throwing them into politics. Down in Washington Mrs. Josephine Preston is again running for the office of State superintendent of schools, and strange to relate will again be elected The reasons for her reelection are that she is wonderfully competent Twelve years ago the writer voted for Mrs. Preston, with no thought of prostituting the schools, but rather with the idea of adding to their eff ficiency. We thought then as we still think that any man could be ap- pointed to an office, but he must deliv- CT the goads to get by the people the second or third time at the polls.
 The present incumbent, MT. Lester D. Henderson, is efficient and very competent, and has worked the school system up to a point where it is as good or better than those outside. MT. Henderson would probably be elected as quickly as he could be appointed, and the people would have a say in the matter. And no one can deny that the voter has the last word as to a mans qualifications. If it is good to elect superintendent in the State of Washington, it is better to elect him in Alaska, where the popu- lation is smaller and personal re- quirements greater.
 The last thing the Gateway would desire is to "throw the schools into politics." but we believe they are in politics much deeper at the present time than they could possibly be un- der any elective system.
