had been out here in this isolated

Making BETTER Operators.
This automobile instructor makes
his pupils come out hero and actu-
ally imagine highway and traffic
problems. These have to be solved
by the most logical methods When
the right solution to a problem is
found the pupil must practice it over
and over again.
There may be only one chance in
thousand where your brakes may
fail you when going downhill and
when your only salvation Is to get
the car under control by shifting to
second. But If you have never prac-
ticed this. your case is hopeless.
You ought to practice out here In
private for the same reason a mu-
sician shuts himself up in room
when he Is learning how TO perform

be able to run off something from
Chopin if he had never seen 1t before,
but he practices until he feels he can
perform it perfectly without annoy
ing his audience with mistakes. But
the auto driver thinks it quite all
right to practice on the public. That
is the main reason for the large num-
ber of fatalities"

RULE FOR "SHIMMYING."
How Wabbling of Front Wheels
May Be Lessened.

Shimmy, or wabbling. of the front
wheels does not usually last for more
than a few seconds at a time, but the
length of the annoyance can be
greatly shortened by pulling hard In
one direction or the other.
Shimming is invariably due to
play" or looseness, in the steering
assembly, though there are other ex-
plantations in many instances. Def
mite steering in one direction or an
othsr will serve to take up this play
temporarily and thus bring the SHIN
my to a quicker end.

SUSPECT sHIFTER FORKS.

Not all the trouble one has in shift
ing gears Is due to the dragging ac-
tion of the clutch or to an inability
to balance the speeds of car and en-
gine with proper meshing of the ro-
tatinS gears Sometimes the shifter
forks are stiff, and the locking device
which holds the gears in whatever
speed TO which one shifts may not be
working smoothly. A little plain en-
sine oil added to the heavier gear
lubricant will loosen the stiff parts
and probably solve the problem.

BAND TAX is
TO BE ASKED

Darlington, N. d.. March Ill
Formal application is to be made
at the next, meeting of the, city
council that the question of sup
porting brass band by taxation be
submitted to the voters at the regu-
lar city election in April. Such a
resolution is now being drawn and
will be introduced to the city dads.
The question was talked over by
the aldermen and delegation of
people interested in establishing a
band at the meeting Monday night.
No formal action was taken by the
council but privately some of the
members expressed themselves as
believing the main issue was whe-
ther or not band could be firmly
established here for a period Of
years. It was felt that if it could
survive the first two or three years
it would continue on its own power.
Many bands have been launched in
the past, all hitting the rocks sooner
or later.

Mammoth Oil Company here for can

of court several depvsitions, some of
them made by independent oil oper-
ators, dealing with their negotia-
tions with Albert b. Fall, then Secre-
tary of the Interior. seeking leases
to the famous oil fields.
The feature of the depositions was
that Fall regarded any Independent
operator who showed ability to clear

VOTE GERMANY
INTO LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
Note TO be Sent to That Ma
tiOn Expressing View of
The League

Geneva, March 11.-David Lloyd
Georges epigrammatic warning at
the general conference that an angry
Germany should not be driven into
the arms Of a hungry Russia had a
sequence at Geneva yesterday after
noon when the council of the League
Of Nations, under tie presidency of
Austen Chamberlain, British secre-
tary for foreign affairs, spent hours
at a secret meeting in discussing how
to handle the German notes concern
ing German admission to the
League.
The meeting, which was attended
only by members of the council and
Sir Eric Drummond, secretary gen.
eral, started from the fundamen al
idea that German membership in the
League is necessity to true poll
tical rehabilitation of Europe. Hence
the desire of all, but especially Eng
land, to adopt no attitude toward the
German demands for privileged
position under the covenant which
would have the effect of driving
Germany further away from the
League, rather than toward it, and
thereby increasing the chances that
Germany would turn definitely to-
ward Bolshevik Russia and remain
coldly Indifferent to continental
Europe.
1t is learned that after an hours
discussion, which was enlivened by
the frankest kind of comment on the
German armaments situation, the
council reached an agreement to
draft reply to the German notes
expressing the councils earnest de-
sire that Germany join the League
at the same time laying the greatest
stress on the need of universally in
its membership if the League is to
attain it's high purposes.
simultaneously, however, Germany
will be informed in effect and in
diplomatic terms that no privilege
can be accorded her as preliminary
condition to her application for
membership, because this would de-
stroy the principle of equality of
treatment which is one of the fun
damental features Of the League.
