The World war was fought by
the youngsters who followed the
veterans of the Civil war to the
cemeteries of American towns and
cities on Memorial Days of a half
century. No American boy lived
in the fifty years proceeding the
World war without partaking of the
spirit of patriotism betokened by the
flags. the muffled drums and the
volleys of the old muskets fired over
the tops of the fiower-decorated
graves on man. Memorial days.

FIRE HOSE COMPETITION
ENTERTAINS CODY CROWD
Hose Race, Ladder Drill and Relay
Race Program Given by Fire
Department Saturday

Probably there has been no enter
tainment given in Cody in many
months in which local people took
more interest or pleasure than in
the program of events given by the
members of the Cody Volunteer Fire
department on Saturday afternoon.
Although a heavy rain did it's best
to curtail the competitions, nothing
seemed to daunt the fire boys and
they carried their work through to
completion without a halt.
The program was composed of
three events. A ladder drill, a hose
race and a relay race. A water fight
by two teams was thrown in for a
chaser. Entered in the contest were
four teams. captained by VIM. Loew-
er, Clarence Williams, w. H. Bates
and w. r. Leib. The contest was
decided on points earned in the
three entries, the Williams team
leading with ten points; Bates sec
ond with 9 points; Loewer third
with S11 points and Lieb's team
trailing with 51s points.
The first event was a ladder drill
and Billie Murray of Loewer's team
proved the most active ladder man
on the Jour teams. The team picked
up the ladder, ran rs feet and Muir
ray scampered to the top in a total
of IL Y seconds. WILLIAMS team
made the event in IL seconds, with
the Bates and Lieb teams tying for
10 seconds.
The relay, a 50O-foot event, with
five changes, went to the Bates
team in 22h seconds, with Lieb's
team second and Williams and
Loewer coming in third and fourth
respectively.
In the hose contest. the major
event of the program. some I'M
usually good work was done, with
the result hat Williams team too
high honors, time being 49b sec
onds. Loewer and Bates tied for
second with Lieb's team fourth.
In this contest seven men were on
a team. They started from the
Cody garage, RAJ to the First Ma
tional bank corner, made connec-
ton and strung $50 feet of hose,
time being up when the water
tdCItu the HOZZle. LOeWer ana
Bates teams made it in SLY sec
onds. and the last team, which lost
its hydrant connection. got the wa
ter through in SO seconds. The
time was fast in this event and
showed some fine work on the part
of each team.
Last but not least on the pro
gram was a water fight, which was
successful to the end that each
team was completely drenched.
Probably the most important fea-
ture of the firemen's Memorial Day
program was the sumptious banquet
served in the evening at the Geo.
Grupp cafe. Practically every mem
Der of the department was present
and the four-course dinner presided
over by Chief Maurice Starr was
all that was necessary for a fitting
close of a perfect day.

For the second time in his writ

MENTAL STRAIN
is HUGE FACTOR
National Safety Council
Points Out Many Hazards
From This Cause.

Elimination OF mental strains is a
Dig factor in the prevention of auto
Mobile accidents, says Sidney j. Will
Jams, chief of the. public safety d.
vision of the National Safety council.
Recognized as an important cause of
industrial accidents, it has equal APP
plication to accidents in traffic where,
under certain situations, the mental
condition of the driver determines the
difference between safe and unsafe
driving as well as the amount Of pleas
ure derived from motoring.
Various Mental States.
Mental states leading to accidents
are classified by Mr. " lIliams as the
worried mind, the unguarded mind, the
puzzled mind, the stubborn mind, the
misguided mind and the diseased mind
All these mental states occur more or
less frequently among automobile driy-
ers as the result of either permanent
or temporary conditions. Where they
are permanent, the driver should be
separated from the steering wheel and
accelerator, if he is to be made safe.
Other conditions causing driver
strain arise from environment rather
than from within. The confusion of
congested traffic will, for example,
cause an experienced driver to lose
temporarily the skill he may normally
exhibit. knowledge on the part of the
driver of defective brake or other
defect In the equipment of his car
would either render him more liable
TO accident or make him more careful;
but 1t is obvious that he cannot drive
with such abnormal alertness-for ex-
ample. without chains on Icy and wet
streets--for several hours at a time
without becoming fatigued and thus
liable to accident.
Reduce Accidents.
Accidents would be materially re-
duced if we, first, paid more attention
to the mental factors In driving, and
second, applied this knowledge, both
through legal regulation and personal
self-education and self-control.
Removal Of mental strain as an ac-
cident factor comes through safer au-
tomobile equipment and the elimina-
ton of worry and tension in driving,
the removal of the drunken, drugged
or subnormal driver from the streets
and the education of all drivers to
recognize the Importance of their
mental condition as a factor in safe
driving.

Keep Outlets Open

All radiators, says a writer in the
American Motorist, have an overflow
arrangement to accommodate the nat
ural expansion of the water upon be-
ing heated during the operation of the
motor. Frequently they are also
equipped with blow holes to allow the
escape of steam. If. through the ac-
emulation of sediment or dirt, these
outlets become clogged and don't full
fill their functions, the result is that
the internal pressure generated will
follow the line of least resistance and
force leak at point where the radi-
ator is weakest. Therefore, it is alb
solutely essential that these outlets
be open at all times.

Generally Engine Gets
Blame for Slowing Down

1t happens on occasion that the en-
glne slows down when the clutch is
disengaged, whereas exactly the re-
verse should be the case. Generally
the engine gets the blame, when in
reality the trouble is due to the fact
that the clutch does not entirely dis
engage. Sometimes in these cases
there may be rasping of the gears
when shifting; this latter condition
would naturally follow. since the
clutch does not leave the fiywheel prop
erly. The basic cause of trouble is
very probably wear In the throw-out
collar. In this way when the clutch
pedal is pushed down all the way, the
clutch moves outward only little;
not enough to permit the engine to
run idle. If the clutch is of the cone
type, kissing is likely to result, be-
cause of the facing slipping around in
the flywheel

Divide. There's nothing below 1880
feet in the park and the summit of
Longs peak towers up 1925 feet into
the sky. There are actually 43 peaks
above 10000 feet. And among these
granite peaks whitened here and
there with everlasting snow, are
scores of wild, sequestered valleys,
with lakes and streams, birds and wild
animal life, forests and flowers.
Roads? There aren't any to speak
of. The trails the thing in Rocky
Mountain. That's why-even with
225,000 visitors-you can get off by
yourself. And that's why Rocky
Mountain is still virgin wilderness.
There Is no north and south road
through the park; the Front range
and the Continental Divide made 1t
impossible. And there's only one
road across the park from east to
west--from Estes park to Grand lake,
the west entrance. And that's the
Fall River road--the highest automo-
bile highway in the national park sys-
tenn. 1t climbs far above timber line
and at 11,797 feet gives a panoramic
view Of 100 miles.
The visitors in the bus, In No. 3

on pleasant summer day. The mer-
curry in Omaha, st. Louis and Chicago
may be lowering around In the nine

hues. In short drive over the Con-

Wrench Constant Friend
of Automobile Drivers

If the owner drives his car con-
stantly it will be an excellent thing
for him to use his monkey wrench
now and then, says American Motorist.
Especially with new car it is not
bad plan to go over nuts and bolts
occasionally. Even the tightest nut
will be more or less affected by con-
slant vibration and a loose bolt should
be frightened, since the play to which
the looseness gives rise may result in
the necessity for later repairs AS
the car grows little older the bolts
and nuts settle and there is less oc-
casion for tightening.
The foregoing advice applies with
particular force to spring clips,
pulling up of the nuts of which will
take but few minutes of the oper-
ator's time about once a month, keep
ing the springs properly seated and
adding much to the sense of security
that is enjoyed by the man who looks
after things and knows that they
have been attended to.
Sometimes it happens that the mo-
torist is unable to keep the nuts fas-
tening the bolts absolutely tight. Try
as he may, the nut will come loose
again. If lockwasher cannot be APP
piled, good remedy is to put a drop
of solder on the thread of the nut, or
in the absence of solder, little paint
or varnish will set the nut tight and
prevent 1t from becoming loose again.
