of Evening Shade, on the Ask Flat
road. This spot of ground covers
about 10 acres, and although surround

The nature of the soil, said to be
different from any other in this part
of the state, indicates that the "pond''
is the crater of an extinct volcano.
The soil is of a fine ashlike compo-

The title originated from the fact
that when the first settlers came to
that section the tract was covered
with water, through which grew so
many wild rose vines that they covered
the entire surface. The pond was said
to be a beautiful sight when these
were in bloom.

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS

Your closed or curtained car should
have a ventilator large enough to
provide fresh air for the car when
riding in a warm rain. If your car
has no ventilator better have one
made for it before you are obliged
to ride some long day, torn between
the choice of getting wet or smother
ing.
If it dulis a hood to wash II while
hot why allow the garage attendant
to spill cold water all over your hot
radiator when you have stopped for
supplies? What applies to the hood
with reference to paint applies to the
radiator.
Whenever dusting off the results
Of a summer ride over dirt roads al
ways commence with the hood. Too
many motorists start with the rear
of the car where the dust is natural
ly thicker. adding to rather than re-
moving the accumulation of dust on
the hood and helping to scratch its

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

With the touring season in full
swing and the woods and streams
calling insistently to those who are
lucky enough to own motor cars.
many thousands of tourists and
campers are flirting with the danger
of becoming lost and yet are making
no effort to provide themselves with
the safety suggestions of persons
who have had experience in wood
land mazes. Becoming lost is haz-
ard which many tourists fail to
guard against. chiefly because very
little thought is given in advance to
such a possibility.
When the average motorist starts
out on an exploration of unknown
territory he provides himself with
enough gas, oil. water and tires 10
enable the car to bring him back 10
the beaten track again. but too ire
auently he fails to equip himself
with that specific knowledge or the
outdoors which alone enables him to
direct the car properly.
Rules to Ob>iatc Danger.
\ number Of experienced campers
hik ers and motor tourists hGve been
consulted with view to offering the
novice a few rules that will obViate
the danger of becoming lost and
make his outings the uninterrupted
delight he intended them to be. Al
most invariably. however. experienced
folk insist that rules alone Will not
do. 1t Seehs that one must acquire
n sort of knack of knowing what to
do when lost. and more particularly
of knowing how to keep from being
lost
One veteran tourist points out thai
while the automobile itself offers d
quick means of getting back to the
main highway. if one has strayed of
the route this advantage is frequent
~ disadvantage, for the motor
tourist is likely to lose himself with
greater speed by reason of the will
lingness of the car to take him away
from the beaten track as quickly as
it will bring him back-lf he knows
the way.
Just as it is inadvisable to rur
around in circles when lost in the

PUT OUT OF REACH.

If it becomes necessary to leave
loose articles in the open car, at least
see that they are placed on the tom
neau floor and over to the side fur
thest from the curb. Things that are
out of the passerby's reach are not
so likely to be stolen.
