sylvahia, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin or Wyoming, nothing is left to your imag- ination; you stop and wait for the trolley to move, unless there are safety zones. But if you carry this custom from one of these states into some of the others, you will get bawled out for obstructing traffic.
 In Florida you may clip past the standing trolley at five miles an hour, in New Hampshire by exercising due care," in Kentucky when you consider it safe to do so-not so idiotic as it sounds, since it puts the consequences right up to you. In Rhode Island the statute implies that you may sneak around the wrong way-a very unfor- tunate habit to take with you on tour, since many states penalize it drasti- cally. In Indiana you may pass if you are able to do so at distance of 20 feet; otherwise you stop six feet be- hind the standing car. Maine specifics eight feet beside or five feet behind the trolley. Massachusetts is content with eight feet at the side. Minnesota re- quires 10 feet at the side or the exer- else of care, Nebraska eight feet and a "slow" passage. California specifics 10 miles an hour and six feet from the car; Montana makes it six miles and eight feet. New Jersey makes the mar gin eight feet; but when there isn't space for this you may go around the wrong way by exercising ''extreme eau tiOn." Eighteen other states make no provision to cover this point, which means that the municipalities supply the deficiency, leading to confusion within the state itself.
 Confusing Rules On Speed.
 The speed limit is another thing on which there is a wide divergence Ev- cry state, almost, has a general speed limit designed to apply on the open road; and lower limits designed to ap- ply where traffic is heavy or the road way dangerous.
 Let us look first at the matter of general limits. Some states name a figure which is not to be exceeded un- der any circdmstances. Other set, not an absolute speed limit. but a figure which may not be exceeded without es- prima facie evidence of reck- less driving. If you drive faster than this aNd have a smash, it is more or less distinctly up to you to prove that you were not careless or reckless. In prima facie speed limits are a bit lower than absolute ones. Two states, Maine and Maryland, have both, and curiously enough agree on the fig ures; more than 9 miles an hour es- tablishes prima facie evidence against the driver, and more than 35 is cate gorieally prohibited. As for actual fig urss, five states specify 25 miles, 16 name 30 and nine 35. Three states ask for a reasonable and proper"

TOWN DRLNKARD
 IS GIVEN HONOR
Police Friends Preserve Body Of, Outcast From Potters' :.
 Field

Jim Mahoney, the Town Drunkard" of Portland, Ore- forgotten in life, will be remembered in death--if his com rades of 20 years in drunkenness keep their pledges to themselves and their departed companion.
 Jim was buried few days ago in a pretty little plot in Riverriew cemetery, overlooking the beautiful Willamette river. He--the .sTown Drunkarf - was laid away with a pomp and cere- mony which would have, in many ways, filled all that many a greater celebrity might have wished for. at his final function on earth, says the New York World.
 If Jim could have seen his own fu- neral from whatever point of vantage he now holds, he would have been be- wildered and unable to comprehend Jim took it as . foregone conclusion that students of medicine would find him of more use, after his death than he had ever been in life. Undoubtedly Jim would have gone from the. county hospital to the dissecting room for the benefit of science had not the police, who had dragged him from the gutter to jail times ui1counted, interfered.
 Known By All Judges
 Every municipal judge for twenty years had known "Old Jim." They used to. sentence him to twenty days in jail, br perhaps thirty. Jim was a good carpenter in his younger days. Something would need fixing or re- modelling about the jail. ''Old Jim'' would be called from his cell and put to work. If the job required three or four days Jim would be kept at it nn- til he finished and then turned loose as released at expiration of sentence. 2 Jim regarded the blue coats as his friends. In fact, time after time he wan dered to the jail of his own accord to be locked up before they found him and dragged him into the patrol wagon.
 So it was that when Jim died at the county hospital the police reached out for him again. They decided he should have a. real funeral. Harvey Osborne, manager of a Portland under
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-03

taking concern, donated a plot for Jim and reserved his parlors for the old drunkards funeral.
 Drunlxards Mourn
 Six of Jim's cronies of drunken days were released from their cells to act as pallbearers. At the appointed hour they gathered at the Holman chapel They gathered with some misapprehen- sion, for, on arriving, they met Chief of Police Jenkins, two dozen blue coats, judge who had sentenced many of them countless times; and others.
 Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, de- ivered the funeral service. The pastor of church with one of the wealthiest congregations in Portland overlooked the mis-steps of Jim Mahoney in life. He dwelt on the, majesty of death.
 Bay Rum" Charley Davenport and Frank Briley, two of the pallbearers, sitting on the mourners, bench, pulled forth tattered ,handkerchiefs to deaden scbs, genuine cries of sorrow, which were strangers to their drink-wracked bodies. 7
 On the street was a crowd in a spirit of levity. Yet, when it saw the blue coats with their caps held oyer their breasts standing in double line and the six tattered drunkards move from tEe chapel through the avenue of uni forms to the waiting hearse, there was not sound. Not smile was discern ible. Many shuffled nervously. Some slipped quietly away, and the solemn procession moved out to the evergreen dotted cemetery.
 Remember, man, thou art dust spoke Dr. Pence, as the coffin was low cred and the grave diggers approached with their shovels
 The crowd dispersed.

 "The remarkable improvements in automobiles reflected in the 1924 mod els will be realized by the car owner in largest measure only when delivered and backed by a good, dependable local dealer.
 ''The dealer has SO much to do with local satisfaction in car ownership that unless he is prepared with the knowl- edge and equipment necessary to meet the service requirements of 1924 cars, he is as obsolete as the car models of yesterday

speed, without stating any numerical limits.
 Divergence in the lower limits is even wider and more confusing than in the general limit. A good deal of the terror is taken out of this situation, however, by the provision made in most states that such lower limit zones must be posted. This provision, however, is not universal; and in it's absence it is impossible for the visiting motorist to identify the restricted zones. , Of course, if you go into a strange state and plead ignorance as excuse for violating its motor. code. the magistrate can. and doubtless will, confront you with the fact that the traffic laws are published in pamphlet form and have been available for your inspection and study. Strictly speaking, that is true; but after careful perusal of 38 such pamphlets, the writer is not strongly impressed with the probability of any ones learning to drive legally in an of the 3S states merely by a study. of the printed codes.

.7OMEN, and men, too, like the con- w venient size of the New Jewett Six. Jewett tucks itself into handy parking places that bulkier cars must pass up; con- parking problems into parking oppor- tunities. Its wheel turns easily, thanks to ball-bearing steering spindles.
 Yet with all this convenience of chassis size, Jewett has bodies that are as roomy inside as larger, cumbersome cars. Seats are wide and comfortable; lots of leg-room for the tallest.
 The New Jewett's tremendous power comes from its big 50 h.p. 6-cylinder Paige built motor. Cylinders are 3A x 5, giving 24o cubic inches piston displacement. This is s4Oper cent more than some ''ight' sizes. An ocean of power is yours in the New Jewett! And it stays quiet because the motor is high pressure oiled. like the big Paige and other top quality cars. Two gal Ions of oil per minute are forced through all main bearings and connecting rod bear ings. Thousands of miles of marvellous ser vice before overhauling need be thought of!

Thisadvantage in power forweight accounts for Jewett's amazing performance. Drive it from ? to 60 miles an hour, or more, in high; take most any hill in high; pick up from 5 to 25 miles an hour in 7 seconds, in high. Try that with any other car!
 The New Jewett Six is unique. In all the world no car like this. It's true. Jewett combines mechanical superiorities and advantages no other car possesses. It is approached only by cars costing $7OO to thousands more-and then at the sacrifice of convenience and economy. For Jewett sells for but $1O65.
