CITY CLUB JOINS WAR

Supports Eldridge's Demand for
Speedier Trials and Heavier
Penalties.

The demand of Traffic Director
NJ. Q. Eldridge for speedier trial and
surer and more severe punishment
for drunken drivers Is supported in
an editorial appearing in the current
issue of the City Club Tribune,
mouthpiece Of the City Club.
The Tribune calls for heavier penal
ties upon conviction. speedier trials

physician to determine If a man is
intoxicated Immediately following his
arrest and provision that will enable
the traffic director summarily to
suspend the permit Of driver ar.

Drunken drivers in Washington
are escaping the severe punishment
they deserve" the Tribune declares
because of their ability to delay
trials until the testimony against
them becomes hazy. Then they fire.

the same offense on gaining their
freedom.

Find Ancient Chinese Drug
Good for Colds

Used by the Chinese for more than
5000 years as a treatment for asthma,
ephedrine has been found good for
colds, as an anesthetic and for raising
the blood pressure or arresting bleed
ing in cases of hemorrhage. These
uses are partial results of research
conducted with the substance at the
university of Wisconsin. Experiments
are under way to determine if the
drug is beneficial in treating hay
fever. According to DIR. Ko-Kuei
Chen, scientist at the university,
cphedrine is considered superior to
adrenalin in raising the blood pressure
as its effects last over a longer period.
The ancient Chinese doctors found
that the substance caused muscles
around the air passages in the lungs
to relax, thus promoting easier breath
ing. The same experience has been
met with in tests conducted with the
drug at large clinics in Pennsylvania
and Minnesota.

WHEN MOTHER "STEPS OUT"
Ethel Clark Bickel

Goodbye, Mamma. Have a good
time!" A small, red-headed boy
threw both arms around his moth
er's neck for a farewell kiss.
"Doodbye, Muvver. Take a dood
time!" echoed a chubby girl Of three.
1t was refreshing to witness that
sweet, wholesome mother taking
such happy leave Of her youngsters.
There were no tears of regret on the
little faces, only smiles and tender
ness. Mother was going to an after
noon party at the home of one of her
girlhood chums and the two children,
knowing all about it, were only anx-
ious that she should enjoy herself,
for as Roger, the six-year-old, con-
fided to his grandmother later, "You
know mammas are always so busy
they don't get to many parties"
In how many homes, in cases of
this kind, the scene is quite differ
ent! In how many homes, when Mo-
ther leaves for an afternoons or eve
ning's pleasure, the children set up
an uproar, no matter how kind and
competent the person with whom
they are left! How many mothers
"sneak away" from their little ones!
For instance: Mother and Daddy
want to go to the movies.
"I'll just put the children to bed
first, and then we'll slip away with
out saying anything about it," says
Mother. They're perfectly all right,
here with Mary, but if tell them we
are going they're sure to make a
FUSS"
Thereupon hangs the secret Of it
all. Never in the lives Of Roger and
wee Betty, from the time they were
old enough to understand, had their

ton of the capture of Fort Sack
Vile. The greater interest which
the people of America are taking in
the history of their country is one
of the most encouraging signs of the
times. A few years ago historical
marks and the marked sites of great
events were comparatively infre-
ouent. Now each year adds many
new parks, monuments and markers
of the sites of outstanding events in
our history Practically every state
has an historical society which is
busy bringing to the attention of the
people the significant events in their
history. With the advent of good
roads and automobiles our people
each year are going in greater num-
bers to our historic parks.
This increased interest in our his
tory is a cause for national congrat-
ulation. So long as our people take
a proper pride in the achievements
of the past, there is little danger OF
their staying away from the ideals
of the early republic. Countless
sacrifices were made to bring our
country TO it's present era of pro
gress and prosperity and many more
sacrifices will doubtless have to be
made to preserve it in the future.
So long as we show Il proper appre-
citation for the past and romain true
to fundamentals, there is a good
chance that the future will, in a
measure, take care Of itself.

What the World Is Doing
AS Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine
Which Wheel for New Tire!

To obtain the longest mileage, the
two best tires on a car should be
placed on the rear wheels. Some driv-
ers assert that the best tires belong
on the front to minimize the danger
from blowouts and the risk of losing
control of the car, but this hazard is
considered negligible, and the real
fault usually lies in the driver losing
his head. The spare should replace
the more worn of the rear tires at the
end of several thousand miles of driv-
ing. On new cars, all tires may re-
main as originally placed for several
thousand miles, then the front ones
should be put on the rear wheels.

Moving Heavy Grass

When lawnmowers are crowded to
cut thick and heavy growths of grass,
the stationary cutting bar and sup
porting roller frequently jump or
"buck," leaving unsightly patches of
long grass here and there about the
lawn. By attaching the spring-and-
roller device shown in the drawing,
this trouble is readily overcome. The
main leaf from q discarded wagon
seat spring is bolted to the underside
of the mower handle so that the two
small wood disks, or wheels, mounted
on the free end of the spring, will rest
upon the wood roller of the mower
