MOTOR CYCLE OFFICERS
LIFE ONE LONG THRILL
Vancouver, Wash, Policeman Re
counts Outstanding Experience
in Three Years.

Motor Cycle Officer Swasey Of Van
couver, Wash, has been riding a mo-
tor cycle on the police department
for the past three years and has had
many thrilling experiences.
One night he was called TO the tele-
phone and informed that there was
an automobile, loaded with drunken
buns, running amuck through the
town. endangering the lives of the
dooryards. The call came from the
sheriff, who had chased them in an
automobile and had been unable to
catch them.
officer Swasey finally located them,
but they were coming directly toward
to dodge them and, turning around.
gave chase. They led him through
the city, to the right and left of other
automobiles, in a way that made it
very difficult for the officer to keep in
the running. Whenever possible they
would run off the pavement and
throw up clouds of dust, hoping to
blind the officer and force him to give
up the chase.
Finally, getting on an open stretch
of road. the officer speeded up, but
overlook the car at a cross road. The
car turned into this, which was very
deep in sand. The buns managed to
pull away, but the officer stuck to
their trail until he hit the pavement
again. This time there was no traffic
and Officer SwaSey soon overlook the
booze -maddened speed morons, and
by firing a couple of shots was sue
cessful in persuading them to stop.
Then they decided to fight, and again
the officer was forced to bring his gun
into play. and in this manner was
able to round the gang up and get
them to Jail

Motor car users are urged to give
careful consideration to the signifi-
cameo of the present rise III gasoline
urices in Il bulletin issued here yes
terday by the national headquarters
of the American Automobile Associa-
tion.
The bulletin also censureS motorists
for their wasteful ways in the use
of gasoline, points out how they may
combat rising prices through thrift,
and disagrees with what it terms
"the uneconomic method" pursued by
Gov. McMasters of South Dakota
Because car owners registered a
complaint against the high cost of
gasoline, which reached a top figure
in January, 1921. the impression was
hat the past few months of lower
prices represented a yielding OF the
oil companies to pressure says the
\. \. \. paper. Just how absurd
this notion was is clearly demon
strated by the fact that within the
last few weeks the oil interests have
raised the price of gas sufficiently to
increase tho value of oil reserves by
$3.50, 600 000. while the motoriSt sits
back and does nothing to prevent q
further advance in price.
Hold Economy Vital.
The motorist is being given an
oLher demonstration in the ope peration
ot the law of supply and demand, and
II he intends making the best of the
situation it is apparent that he must
apply economic laws to his individual
motoring. Our investigation of the
oil situation leads us to the conclu-
sion that unless the motorist is caught
mapping he can still save money on
l.Sr t,~lf-
as predicted. This he will do through
a type of economy which he hasn't
been practicing of late.
THE ~ \. \. does not indorse any
plans to undersell the oil industry,
upon which the motorist is dependent
for 4 service as well as commodity,
as, for instance, the uneconomic
method followed by the Governor Of
South Dakota.
THE publicity given this incident
has served to convince motorists that
there is nothing to be gained by buy
ing gasoline out of state funds that

Their presence and conversation
served not only to comfort Christ and
give Him courage to carry out His
program, but 1t served to confirm
them in the conviction of the reality
of Christs Messiahship.
Apostles Confused.
II is not surprising that Peter and
the other two drowsy disciples should
be apparently confused by the vision
of the transfgured Christ and His
shining companions. Peters prepos-
ferrous proposal was made at the mo-
ment the two heavenly visitors were
about to depart. II reveals their con-
fusion and proves on the face Of it
that he was not aware of it's meaning
when he suggested that they provide
shelter for Christ and His guests.
Peter was wrong in desiring to detain
Elijah and Moses in their spiritual
splendor and to build shrines upon
the mountain top, where the three
could continue to manifest the glory
of Christ's transfgured presence and
their celestial glory to the adorine
eyes of favored servants.
Peters greatest error was in plac-
ing Jesus upon level of His visitors.
This contradicted His confession of
the week previous The voice of the
Father was heard for the second time
proclaiming the deity of Jesus. say
ing, This is my beloved son, hear yt
Him" When they recovered their
poise they looked around and saw
Jesus only, who commanded them not
to mention it until after the resurrec-
ton, because they could not possibly
describe their experiences. He had to
face the cross and prove by His res
f,.N tA
rious life before men would believe
their story. The experience of the
Holy Mount fitted in with Christ's
resurrection. They did not under
stand its meaning at the time, but ii
helped them to understand how
Christ's death harmonized with His
glory as d Messiah.
