DASHEEN REPORTED
GAINING IN FAVOR
Vegetable Contains More
Food Than Poto:oes.

1t took the French Faculty of Medi-
cine, the controller general of finance
in France and the pope to convince
the people of Europe in III that the
potato was good to eat and would Sus-
tain life instead of utterly destroying
it, as 50 many feared. Now, as nearly
everybody knows the potato is not
feared at all. This bit of history is
added to statement of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to encourage
those engaged in promoting the
dasheen industry.
The dasheen is vegetable with food
qualities similar to those of the po-
tato, but because ii is drier it CON
tains about 80 per cent more actual
food than an equal weight of potato.
1t has nutty flavor and is so mealy
that even the worst of cooks can serve
it without sogginess
According to the department, there
are many growers of the dasheen in
Florida and because the vegetable was
introduced here by explorers of the
department, the growers of the plant
are getting all possible aid from the

establishing business friendships, it IS
believed that the players often yield
to an unconscious strain that lowers
the recreational value of the game
accordingly.
Thus 1t is entirely unfair and il
logical to draw a sharp line between
the recrea tional values of both sports
and to feel that when one steps out
of the car at the country club ones
period of recreation is just commenc-
ing. AS matter Of tact it com

GREAsING BEARINGS.
Four-Wheel Brakes Make Care
Necessary OH Front Wheels,

If your car is equipped with four
wheel brakes do not grease the front
wheel bearings by the usual method
Of filing the hub caps, forcing the
grease through while screwing them
on. This method usually results in
an excess of fabrication, which, in
the case OF front-wheel brakes
means getting grease on the brake
bands. It's better to remove the
wheels and grease the bearings
direct. using no more lubricant than
is necessary.

doubtless true. But it is not true that

RECREATION VALUE
OF DRIVING UPHELD
Mistake to Assume GoIfing
Vastly More Beneficial,
Says w. A. T. A. Bulletin.

That many of the benefits attributed
to golfng are rightly due to motor
ing is the contention Of the safety
committee of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association in a recent
bulletin of the dealers organization.
The W. A. II. A. statement is made
as an answer to those critics Of the
automobile who assert that, as Il
recreation, the motor car does not
offer proper relaxation to the driver,
and also to remind the golfer that
much of the pleasure and benefits he
derives from his game on the green
are due in no small measure to the
motor car.
Comparing golf with motoring the
bulletin reads:

cars by pushing them?"
Yes. but he managed to get
around that by accusing me of tres
passing on property which / had to
admit was his

tention to them"
MOP" Smith asked doubtfully.
But suppose the trouble hunter calls
an officer into the argument and de-

There isn't any law to cover such

Experience Of Others.
At this point three of the motor
lists who had been listening hurried
to state that while this sort of situa-
ton would be considered as a trivial
ity in law it was a nuisance and "A
problem so far as the motorist is con-
cerlhd. One said that he had ac-
tually come to blows over Il similar
affair and that the indignant car
owner had accused him of assault and
battery.
Then Smith took up the subject
again.
Believe me-" he ran on. "it was
no joke for me. The trouble hunter
demanded that I be arrested on a
technical charge of treSpaSS. ] had
pushed his car three feet along the
street. and he chose to consider this
as evidence that | was either trying
to steal his car or amusing myself
with it without his permission"
Didn't you remind him that he
was a fool for parking his car SO

Yes. but he had me on that point
too. Said he had complied with the
law in every respect and that il

have never seen Smith SO puzzled
as when he met me at the filing
station the other evening. 1t seems
that he had had quite an argument
with motorist whose car he had
been obliged to move.
THE joke of it was the man was
entirely to blame for the affair"
Smith explained. when l returned
to where l had parked my car
rectly in back of mine, leaving me
barely room enough to move a foot.
He was the type Of motorist who has
no regard for others. You've met
them, haven't you?"
Perhaps he expected you to leave
enough room between the front of
your car and the car ahead" / sug-
geSted.
This seemed to put a finishing touch
to Smiths unfortunate day.
Now look here" he retorted in
dignantly. attra citing a small audience
of curious motorists as he lectured,
Il want you to know that when l
drive a car ! endeavor to display a
little interest in others. ] never slip
into space if some one else is about
to back out into it and I always
leave room for a driver to get away

case urONe TlSnt up close 10 tne
rear of the car ahead because there
was a restricted fire hydrant space
just ahead of this car. AS no other
machine would occupy that space, the
man ahead of me had all the room
he needed to get away from the curb.
My idea in driving up close behind
him was to make more room for
Others"

7 admitted that Smith was right
about it, marveling a bit at the way
he was developing as a sensible mo-
torist. l told him that he also did
the right thing by moving the other
mans car back few feet-that l
would have done the same thing my
self.
Not with this fellow" Smith said.
