a little too far.

HOW TO KEEP FLIVVERS
FROM BECOMING DEBRIS

AS an aid to the longevity of the

cident prevention has prepared set
of simple rules. He warns, however
that they are useless unless obeyed
They are as follows:
Make sure the street car is not
coming when starting your automo-
bile from the curb.
Do not trail the street car toe
closely. Air brakes respond more
quickly than automobile brake bands
Be watchful of street car max
ing curve so as not to be struck
by the swing of the rear end.
Avoid parking cars near street
car curves in narrow streets so as
not to be caught Gin a pinch"
Avoid crossing in rear of street
car. Other cars, unseen, may be
coming in the opposite direction.
To get ahead of street car, make
sure it is well to the rear before
cutting in front.
Do not pass street car while it is
taking on or discharging passen-
gers.
When parking at curb in narrow
streets, be sure there is plenty of
room for street cars to pass.

BEAUTIFUL ROADS IMPOS-
SIBLE WITH PRESENT ADJ
VERTISING METHODS

No matter how good the road sur
face, the scenery cannot be consi-
dered enjoyable if interrupted and
confused in the eye of the behoIder
by succession of wildly painted
advertising signs. The movement
to beautify highways by elimination
of sign advertising gathers force,
but meets strenuous resistance from
those who contend that a man has
the right to rent the land he owns
for the erection of a sign, the rent
of which will pay his taxes.
Regulation, rather than elimina-
ton, is the compromise favored by
advertising companies which secure
sign rights to roadside property and
resell the space to advertisers. They
contend that the signs can not be
eliminated legally but can be regu-
lated as to size, color, distance and
beauty.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to observe thta Kansas City, Mo.
in preparing for the convention of
a hundred thousand Shriners next
June, started an antisign move
ment sponsored by the Merchants
Association. Nearly all of its mem
bers signed the petition. Many other
business men enlisted, and some of
the largest and most offensive signs
already have been taken down vol
unfairly. The proposed ordinance
may include street clocks, barber
poles, news and shoe shine stands,
and other sidewalk distractions.

X. B. Takes A Chopper
Editor Emulates Famous Prince
on the New Hope River Road


Last Saturday afternoon our gen
ial editor, K. B. White decided to
accompany "Pop" Wilband on his
regular horse back ride. After Sc
curing the horses they made an aus
picious start and all went well I'M
til X. BIS fiery charger decided to
emulate the Prince of Wales pet
mount, with the result that K B..
was deposited in a very graceful
position in the middle of the stony
road, minus glasses and horse.
"Pop" secured the runaway ami
NAL, and K. B. decided he was sport
enough to ride it home, which he
did without further accident, strange
as this may seem.
Afternoon tea was partaken of
from a convenient mantle-piece in
Pop" Wilband's apartment later.
Chairs were no part of this func-
ton.
On being interviewed by kindly
old lady, later in the afternoon, who
asked "Did you fall off your horse,
Mr.. White" Our hero replied in
the words of the famous French
dramatists "No, | got off where l
wanted to, but the horse kept on
going" The one bright spot that
he finds in connection with this ac-
cident is the cable-gram of felici-
tation which he received from the
Prince of Wales. "Cherio, old top, |
beat you to it"
X. B. states that he is going to
conquer that horse or die in the
attempt.

20 YEAR OLD RUBBER BACK

A Mems light weight rubber was
returned by c. P. Day, Wednesday
morning. This shoe came from a
store of c. w. Hub, Rhenebeck, N.
Y. who had it for 20 years.
One of the factors which confronts
our returned goods department is
the number of boots and shoes which
we get back which were made in
1904 or thereabout. 1t begins to
look as though the fathers were
dying off and the boots did not quite
fit their sons. In another generation
we will be getting some Kohlers
back for replacement.
