Odd Superstifions
of Head Hunters

L. II. Hutton, who spent some time
with the ADgami and Soma Nagas
tribes of head hunters, tells in the Path
Under Magazine of the method in
which the heads of the victims are
decorated and divided. In addition to
complete skulls adorned with mithan
or buffalo horns, or with wooden imi-
tations of these, many huts have
trophies in which the skull is only
partly human, the head hunter having
only salvaged part of the head. In
such cases the rest of the head is
fashioned of wood or the skull of some
animal, generally pig, while in other
cases the missing parts are ingeniously
fabricated from skulls of the black
gibbon.
The object in decorating the skull
with horns is said to prevent the dead
warrior from hearing the call of his
friends searching for him, as, if his
soul were to go to them, it would
instigate them to revenge, whereas if
1t remains with its captor it lures it's
late relatives to put themselves within
reach of the possessor of the head and
lose their own to him as well. Some
40 villages string the skull of one of
their dogs above the skull of the
enemy. The soul of the dog is be-
/ lieyed to bark and thus lure relatives
of the victim to the scene to be slain

Ale Once Labeled Poison

English tavern there was a turmoil
among radicals over the poisoning" OF
the ale drunk by the common people.
The trouble was caused when some ona
learned that in making ale sulphuric
acid, made from Spanish pyrites, was
used and that this contained arsenic.
1t was a tempest in teapot, however,
because it would have taken five bar
rels of ale to contain enough arsenic
to !,urt one individual.

ROADS
Removing Snow on Roads
Greater Task Each Year

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Snow removal on important trunk
line highways is becoming a matter
of increasing Importance each winter,
says the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Investigations Of the bureau show
that there is considerable mileage
of road which the public can i'll afford
to lose the use of each winter.
AS result of traffic Investigations
in Connecticut it is estimated that l.
019,6S8 net tons of commodities were
transported over the state system in
the three months period beginning
with September, 1922. More than
third of this tonnage moved only from
one to nine miles, and nearly another
third moved from ten to twenty mine
miles. These figures are given to show
that in industrial sections there is a
large volume of short-haul traffic which
does not compete with the railroads
and which cannot be carried by the
railroads when the highways become
SnoWbOund.
1t is difficult to estimate the amount
of Inconvenience to passenger travel
caused by snow, but with at least one
motor vehicle to every ten people in
majority of the states, it must be
considerable.
In many sections motor bus travel
is increasingly relied upon by rural
communities. 1t is reported that
there are 45O such lines in Ohio, 283
in Pennsylvania and large numbers in
other states where snow is problem.
So great is the Importance of keeping
these lines in operation that cases are
known where companies have cleared
their lines of snow at their own ex-
pense.

orioin of Word Etiquette.

The word etiquette originated in this
way: During the reign Of Louis XIV
of France, when the gardens of YER
sailIes were being laid out. the master
gardener was annoyed because people
were tramping on the newly-seeded
lawn, SO he put up warning signs or
'etiquettes," on which was in
dicated the path along which to go, but
as the courtiers paid no attention to
these directions, the gardener COM
planned to the king in such convinc-
ing manner that the latter issued an
order commanding everyone to keep
within the etiquettes. Gradually the
term came to cover all the rules for
correct demeanor and department in
court circles; and through the cen
turtles it has grown into use to describe
the conventions sanctioned for the
purpose of smoothing personal contacts
and developing tact and good manners
In social intercourse.

Paved Highways Causing
Fresh Demand for Horses

Paved highways from farm to mar
ket are bringing about economy in
transportation even where horses are
used to haul grain, live stock, fruit,
and other products to marketing CEN
tiers. One of the best arguments for
hard-surfaced roads came out of Sc
ries of tests made at Ames, Ia, re-
Gently. The experiments were made
to determine the pulling power OF
horses of various sizes. A testing APP
paratus invented by G. V. Collins Of
the engineering department, Iowa State
college, was used.
These tests, conducted by the Horse
Association of America, showed that
a horse has to pull four times as
much on a dirt road as he does on con-
crete. A single horse drawing wagon
on concrete can pull as much as four
horses burdened with heavy loads on
the average dirt road that is still en-
tirely too common in this country.

Heavily Loaded Trucks
in East Peril Highways

Restriction of the weight of trucks
carrying loads over a number of Con-
necticut highways is likely to follow
a survey now being made of freight
and traffic conditions, the state high
way department has announced. AL
though no definite program has yet
been decided upon, the limitation is
being considered in view of the heavy
truck traffic that now traverses the
state.
In answer to an inquiry from the
Rhode Island board of public roads,
Highway Commissioner John A. Mac
donald has replied that at present, at
least, there will probably be no re-
strictions of loads under the states
25,0O0-pound limit on roads leading
into Rhode Island. This maximum
weight limit is fixed by statute. The
highway department, however, has au-
thority to make further restrictions if
the safety of the public highways is
endangered by overlooking of trucks.

BRAND new TIRES
WANTED BY Thief
Second Hand Article Holds but
Little Interest to Auto Ac-
ceSsory PuFI0iner.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College OF Automotivs Engineering,
Chicago, 1ll.)
After an automobile has been taken
out of the establishment, where it was
purchased, 1t is no longer brand
new machine, but a secondhand one.
The market value Of such car, al
though driven but few miles, varies
with it's popularity among motorists.
Second Hand Tire Not Wanted.
Exactly the same is true in the case
of tires. brand new tire, even
though its tread is but slightly marred
by road contact, is considered sec
ond-hand tire and its value depre-
ciates quite bit, depending upon the
popularity of the make. A second
hand tire holds but little interest to
the automobile accessory thief who
makes a practice Of dismantling cars
of all extras, and not the least OF
these are new automobile tires. The
extra tire is perhaps the easiest Of all
the equipment of a machine to steal,
unless it is padlocked to the extra tire
rack.
1t is my advice to motorists to put
their new tires on the wheels as soon
as they are purchased and run them
for several hundred miles. This will
greatly diminish the desire of the
thief for stealing your used tire-a
tire which will bring one-haf the price
of new one.
Tires Stolen Are New.
This information comes after an in
vestigation which shows that approx
mately 80 per cent of all tires stolen
are new ones. From the viewpoint of
value a tire that has been run several
hundred miles Is worth practically as
much as a new one. However, motor
sists are bit wary of any tire that
is not absolutely brand new and has
the paper covering on 1t.

MOISTURE HARMFUL TO TIRE
MSch Injury to Spares Caused by AL
lowing Them to Become Water
Soaked During Storm.

Here is tire mileage hint. Serious
injury is often caused new tires car
ried as spares by allowing them to be-
come water soaked during rain
storm. Tread cuts will also cause
water-soaked condition. A soggy tire
is dead" or numb with little resil-
lieney. The carcass deteriorates rap
IDLY from moisture. Tire men assert
that there is sufficient lubricant built
in Standard-make tires to last through
out their life. There is no need for an
additional lubricant. AS a matter of
fact, water will not mix with the
lubricants already in the tire.
The Monmouth inquirer. [volume] (Freehold, N.J.) 1865-1933, 1924-01-03
Caution and Courtesy

An act Of courtesy Is crafty
ing to all concerned In it. Two
persons meeting on the street or
doorway are usually courteous
and show consideration to each
other; the same two persons
meeting on the road while driv-
ing are often quite discourteous.
Cutting In and out Of traffic Is
one of the worst forms OF driv-
ing.
The man who tries to pass
every one on the road does not
always get by.
Help the fellow motorlst If he
is in trouble on the road.
Share your gas with the man
who is stranded far from I'LL
ing station.
Don't try TO take up the en-
tire width Of the road.
Always give way to the man
on an uphill grade.
When meeting another car at
night it is courtesy to dim your
light and give the other fellow
a chance.
Remember that your wheels
will throw water from pools in
the road IL you do not slow
down. If anyone is near, show
the consideration you would ex-
pect.
Right of way is usually given
to horse drawn vehicles.
Give your signals when turn
ing or stopping, and watch for
signals of other cars.

TEST CLEARANCE OF TAPPETs
Regrindino of Valves May Have
Brought End of Valves Closer
to Push Rod.

After grinding in valves of an engine
always test the clearance at tappets.
The regrinding may have brought the
end of the valve stems a little closer
to push rods, taking up all the former
clearance and not allowing the valves
to seat tightly. The adjustments may
also have been altered when valves
were removed for grinding.
