BULL, RUNNING AMUCK IN CITY,
BROUGHT TO BAY BY AUTO
Houston Police Chase Infuriated animal as MONDAY
Crowds Scurry to Safety-Fusillade of Bul-
lets Ends Wild Pursuit.

In these days of high powered
motor cars. traffic laws, parking
ordinances. no-accident weeks, anti
epeed campaigns and other fads and
fancies of the workaday world. it is
seldom that a motorist in the far
thest reaches of his fancy dares to
think of using his automobile as a
rarin, tearin, buckin broncho. fit
for capturing and killing a real live
bull. Somehow or other it has been
impossible for an automobile to raise
on its hind wheels and do a back
fiip-fop or turn quickly and race in
the opposite direction when danger
threatens. In this the horse is still
supreme.
However. a seven-passenger auto

machine in Houston. Tex, emulated
Bill Hart's dashing horse the other

went on hunt for a wild bull,
according to "A story received here

The bull. black. ferociouS and mad

enjoying its freedom to the utmost

"It is often true that a car needs
more attention upon its return than
before it starts on trip, because
when the trip is over the owner is
likely to be careless about his car

treated his car considerably before

attention DUE CAR
| AS VACATION ENDS
Checking Over Often Avoids
l Expense and Worry,
w. A. T. A. Asserts.

What attention should the car re-
ceive after it has served its owner
over a vacation period?
The customary procedure is to have
the car looked over before the trip,
but, while that is necessary. the SerV-
ice committee Of the Washington Au-
tomotive Trade Association says that
inspection of the car upon its return
to the city-is not to be overlooked.
In bulletin just issued, 1T is
pointed out that systematic checking
over of the car will forestall a lot of
expense and trouble. The following
are among the w. A. r. A. recon-
mendations:
Don't make the mistake of return
ing home in the belief that the car
doesn't need greasing because the
matter was attended to before you
started Maybe you covered 1000 or
1000 miles in that period.
Brakes May Need Adjustment.
"The brakes are quite likely to need
adjustment If you have travelled in
mountainous country.
The battery, should be the first
thing to look at, for the chances are
that you have forgotten all about it
on your vacation.
Have the car polished and the
wheels and running gear washed.
Just because the car is pack nome
again is no reason to think that you
will have plenty of time to keep it
in order. You're usually busiest after
returning from vacation.
IF you've been to the SeaShore see
that all traces of rust are removed
from the trimmings. You'll even find
rust in the distributor and other vital
places.
Have the oil drained off and the
crankcase cleaned out with a quart
of fresh oil before replenishing the
supply You pick up lot of dirt on

Hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoida or piles are varicose
veins. Evolution, fatigue posture
(particularly in sitting) and lack OF
physical education are three con-
tributing causes of varicose Veins IN
general and hemorrhoids in particu-
lar. In aneariier talk explained
how the valveless hsmorrhoi6 veins
drain directly into the Valveless
portal veins, and thus anything that
brings about portal congestion or
engagement OF the liver tends to
bring on piles.
Excessive eating, the habit of eat
ing too rapidly, which necessarily
means gulping down unmasticated or
incompletely masticated food, like a
hog or a dog, insures such Gngorge-
nent of the liver. But the hog has
an advantage over man in the matter
Of position. The hog does his digest
ing in the horizontal position chiefly.
The dog is in d better position to di-
gest, his feed than his master is, and
the dog can digest even larger
chunks of meat as he gulps them
down unmastiCated.
Even civilized man may make up
time, if he is late for something, by
gulping his meat dog fashion, for
meat will digest fairly well without
much mastication. But for the other
forms Of food-cereals, vegetables
and fruits-too much mastication is
practically impossible.
Study the COW, and remember she
has an additional advantage over
man, for on sober second thought
she chews her cud. Here l must give
credit where credit is due: The
skillful American dentist contrib
utes greatly toward the prevention of
piles when he rehabilitates broken
down masticating machinery.
Another common error which pre-
disposes to hemorrhoids in similar
manner is the abuse of condiments.
Just what constitutes the abuse of
condiments is a question of opinion,
and opinions differ about this. just
as they do about what constitutes

Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy slipped
away from their home together, but
they did not remain together long.
Reddy knew that it was his fault
that their home had been ruined and
| that they now must run for their
lives. He insisted that Mrs. Reddy
| who used to be Miss Swiftfoot. should
| opportunity. Mrs Reddy was quite
willing to do this. She knew that
| it would be foolish for them to stay
| together with Bowser the Hound
and the other dogs on their trail.
| She is very shrewd. is Mrs. Reddy,
and she suspected that her help
might be needed later.
So when they came to a big rock
she made a long jump to the top of
| it, while Reddy kept on around the
bottom of it. From that rock she
jumped to another, and from this
| jumped to an old log. Behind this
| she lay down fiat. There she lay
| while Bowser the Hound and the
| other dogs, making a great racket
| with their deep voices, raced on after
| Reddy. You see. his trail was easy
| to follow, for the scent was fresh
| and strong. Mrs. Reddy was safe and
| knew that she was safe.
But il was very different with Red
| dy. He knew Bowser the Hound of
old He knew how wonderful was
| Bowser's nose and how patient Bow
! ser could be. Had there been only
| Bowser after him he would not have
worried much. He had fooled Bow
ser many times before, and he was
sure that he could fool Bowser again.
| But Bowser was not alone. There
| were several other dogs, all with
good noses. Reddy knew that when
| he played one of his clever tricks to
break his trail those dogs would scat
ter and chances were that one of
| them would quickly find il again.
Then, too. there were those hunters
with terrible guns to watch out for.
| So Reddy decided that the first thing
to do was to get as far from the
Old Pasture as possible.
Now, Reddy was in splendid condi-
ton. For a while he went straight
away and had no trouble in keeping
ahead of those dogs. But after a
while, when he was far from the Old
Pasture, he grew tired. The voices
of those dogs kept sounding nearer
and nearer. He must use his wits
and puzzle them, SO as TO gain time
| to rest little. He turned and swift
ly ran back along his own trail un-
til he was in danger of meeting those
dogs. Then he leaped as far to one
! sode as he could and ran with all his
might.
The trick worked, as he was sure it
would. The dogs in the excitement
of the chase kept on to the point
where Reddy had turned. There a
sudden silence fell. Reddy's trail had
| ended as suddenly as if he had taken
| wings. But the dogs knew that he
| hadn't, They scattered out in all di-
rections, their noses to the ground.
