IMAGINATION is
AID TO DRIVER
All Sorts of Dangers Flash
Before Him Which He
Carefully Avoids.

1.-THE man with Imagination will
have fewer accidents than the man
without this quality" says Charles M.
Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor
club. "The motorist who can put him
self in the place of the other driver
will anticipate much trouble. The man
with Imagination will realize that the
child at play on the sidewalk may sud
denly decide to chase ball out on to
the street. He imagines all the pos
sible dangerous situations that may
arise On a hill he knows that an
other car may be concealed over the
crown, and consequently he does not
attempt to pass cars going in the
same direction He knows that a fast
travelling car may be hidden from view
behind some curve on lonely country
highway His Imagination builds rath-
err pessimistic opinions of the ability
Of other drivers and of pedestrians,
but this attitude is a safe one, II not
complimentary one to the rest Of
mankind.
Demands Wide Margin Of Safety.
"The pessimistic attitude makes for
an awareness in driving that counte-
nances no lapse into automatic driv-
ing. The car is guided automatically,
but the driver does not allow his sub
conscious mind to rule the wheel. He
is aware of all that happens. He is
prepared for unusual conditions and
his pessimistic attitude makes him de-
mand a wide margin of safety. The
reverse of this attitude is seen in the
actions of the optimistic driver who
never has had an accident, and who
thinks that if accidents are to happen
they will come to the other fellow.
This driver takes no account of I'M
usual conditions. A rainy or snowy
night will find him driving as fast as
he would drive on pleasant after
noon with vision unobstructed and
the streets dry. The imaginative
driver does not depend upon his horn.
He knows that his brakes are more
effective. He slows down when he
sees a group of pedestrians, and he
gives them the horn when he is sew
eral hundred feet away from them,
which gives them sufficient time to
act. But he slows down and if they
do the unexpected he is prepared.
Education Is Needed.
Laws and regulations will not in
still this habit of caution into the
minds Of the motorists. Examinations
will not weed out those lacking in
Imagination. If man thinks that he
is a specially favored darling of for
tune no help is in store for him unless
he deliberately changes his mental at
titude. This changed attitude can be
accomplished only by education"

Needless Roadsides Can
Be Achieved by Farmers

The magic of practically NEEDLESS
roadside can be achieved on most
farms by the simple process of now
ing during early June and again dur
ing early August. Under this treat
ment the weeds are gradually re-
placed by bluegrass, which grows nat
urally in every county in Indiana,
according to A. A. Hansen Of Purdue
university
BY moving twice instead Of once
every season few weeds go to seed,
and without seed they cannot com
pete with bluegrass. Ordinarily
three years OF June and August NOW
ing is sufficient to change a roadside
weed patch into clean bluegrass sod,
thereby not only improving the APP
pearance of the farm but in addition
cutting down losses due to plant dis
ease and insects harbored in the
weeds The seeds of many roadside
weeds are also carried into neighbor-
ing fields by the wind and in mud
that adheres to shoes. wagon wheels
and other moving objects.

| as an Indian, measuring six feet two
inches in his stockings and weigh
ing IT'S pounds" This stood him well
during the Revolution. Long hours in
the saddle could not tire him. He
slept once under tree with Its roots
for pillow. The privations of Val
ley Forge could not daunt him. He
rode a horse to death to get to the
front at Monmouth and stop the re-
treat and had breath left to curse
Lee for his cowardice.
Washington life as a surveyor
made him 100 per cent efficient in the
ways of the Wilderness, where eff
cheney means life or death. He
learned to hairs breadth what man
could do with rifle, horse and boat ;
how to run like a coward and come
back like brave man; how to use
Morgan's rifiemen who came in re-
Spouse to his hurry-up call; how to
| get the lay of the land and pick his
battlefield.
The old Office has been left to the
ravages of time and the elements
in recent years. 1t is almost hidden
from view by long-stretching arm
Of giant locust tree. One window
is concealed behind screen of
bushes, and over its roof a clinging
creeper climbs, dropping like a stray
lock over the front. Its corners are
Clipped, its windows broken and its
shingled roof is leaky in spots. But
repairs and restoration are now at
hand.
A committee has been formed, Of
which Graham f. Blandy of New York
is chairman, 20 collect funds for re-
shingling the roof, relaying the floor,
enclosing the inside and repainting the
outside walls. BY spring, it is thought,
all will be in readiness for visitors.
That Washington, as was the Gus
tom among the landed proprietors of
Virginia and other southern states, was
slave holder is well known. His
views on slavery are not so generally
understood and while it may not be
surprise to many that on his death he
freed his own slaves, the provisions
Of his will in this respect are Of much
interest.
After providing that his wife,
Martha Washington, shall have the
"use and profit and benefit of his
whole estate, real and personal" dur
ing her life. there follows this clause:
ITEM Upon the. decease Of wife
1t is my will and desire that all the
slaves which hold In my own right
shall receive their freedom. To
emancipate them during her life
would, though earnestly wished for by
me, be attended with such insuperable
difficulties on account of their inter-
mixture with the dover negroes as
to excite the most painful sensations,

False Economy to Save
Moment by Fast Driving

1t is false economy to try to save
moment by reckless speeding. The
attempt may result in a smash which
viii lay the driver up for several
months and the car for several days,
if death itself is not the price. Reck-
less driving is not demonstration of
skill, but an Illusion of foolishness.
Hurrying to get ahead of train,
street car or another vehicle saves
only moment or two at the ultimate
destination and the gain is not worth
the grave danger of paying the price
of serious and perhaps fatal acct
dent.
There are certain safety rules of
the road which the careful driver OBJ
serves and these. precautions should
always be carried out Slow up for
all turns in the road Blind corners
are dangerous. When 1t is impossible
to see what is coming around the cor.
ner 1t is well to be prepared to stop.

determination Blamed
for Much Tire Trouble

Seventy-five per cent of the motor
lists tire trouble, it is estimated is due
either directly or indirectly, to under
imitation. When it comes to underin-
fiation, don't guess. Use a gauge. 1t Is
only matter of moments work, but
it means dollars saved in tires.
When not properly inflated tires
readily rim cut. Particularly is this
true over rough places, where the rim
chafes and bruises the fabric Under
imitation also means an unequal ten
sion in the fabric plies making up the
carcass, which results in chatting, fabric
separation and ultimately in blow
out.
While it is quite true that an under
inflated tire is more elastic and more
resilient, the motorist pays dearly for
this. Loaded, the underinfiated tire,
by reason of increased Ringing action
near the rim and at sharp angle, is
often more or less devulcanized or
softened by the resultant heat.
1t pays big dividends. in freedom
from tire trouble, to rigidly observe
the nldllOH pressure ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ny
the manufacturer. 1t is so simple a
matter, requiring only moment, but
the motorist has no one but himself
to blame when he neglects to test his
tire pressure with guage.
II the motorist wishes to obtain the
maximum mileage builts.into tire he
should pay heed to this timely warn
ing against underinfation, according
to tire men. Imitation is the first car
dinal principle of tire conservation. II
you do not have a tire guage. purchase
one today. Even after trouble has be-
gun prompt action in taking an in
jured casing to a tire surgeon for re-
pair or the use of a tire gauge will
greatly prolong the life of the casing,

lay after the crops which may then
be on the ground are harvested, par
ticularly as it respects the aged and

the uncertain provisions to be made
by individuals"
There follows clause providing for
his personal ''mulatto man. giving
him his independence at once, If he
so desires.
The actual reading of the above
clause throws an intimate light on
Washington's extreme thoughtfulness,
showing, as it does, the consummate
care exercised that his wishes might
in no manner be misconstrued. The
provisions regarding the aged and in
firm, the children, can only serve
more firmly to endear this great man

is SO proudly called the father Of an
entire nation.

ST. Large Amount of
Work to Be Done in West

I'M speaking of the progress being
made in the construction of good
roaok, Secretary of Agriculture Jar
din{E after completing a trip through
the western part of the country, said !;
while splendid progress has been
made in the past, there is still a very
large amount of work to be accom-
plished. In my trip through the West
/ was impressed with the thought that
no matter how fine a system of roads
the Coast states may develop, they
will still be dependent upon connec-
ton with the central and eastern sec
lions of the country, upon highways
which lead through long stretches of
sparsely settled areas in which the
federal government still holds title to
a large percentage of the lands which
these roads cross. High mountain
passes and desert stretches must be
crossed with adequate highways be-
fore we shall have that tie between
the different sections of our country
that will lead to greater unity of
purpose and broader understanding
which are in themselves worthy OBJ
jectiyes of the federal aid highway
system"

ROAD
Bull DING
POOR HIGHWAYS
CALLED COSTLY

Government engineers are trying to
dispel three erroneous ideas about
public highways to give the country
highly improved system of motor
travel.
These ideas are:
l. That an improved road is lux
ury, to be enjoyed only if it can be
afforded and not essential to the eco
nomic health of the community.
2 That all roads if improved,
should be hard surfaced to make 1t
worth while.
8. That roads be built for perma-
nency.
These thoughts are attacked and
broken down in a statement of mem
bers of the bureau of public roads
to the secretary of agriculture.
The idea of good roads being lux
uries, say the engineers, chad its orig
in in the early days of the automobile
when the motor vehicle was thought
to be merely a toy of the wealthy
few, and road Improvement was
thought to be in the interest of only
this special Glass;
Conditions are different now. Au-
tomobiles are necessities to great
degree, and roads are needed to ac-
commodate them If only for trans
portation purposes.
''The fact is" reads the report, 1--WE
lose more by not improving the roads
than it costs to improve them. So we
may say that we pay for improved
roads whether we have them or not,
and we pay less If we have them than
than If we have not"
Hard-surfaced roads are not eco
nomical in every case. According to
| the bureau of public roads, the types
Of surfaces should be left to the dis
erection of those who actually use
them
ut has been shown that the maxi
mum amount which it is proper to
spend for the Improvement of a given
road is the sum of the individual saw
ings accruing from the Improvement
to the owners of the vehicles driven
over it." in the opinion of the govern
ment road officials
"What we spend for the improve
ment of any given road should al
ways be less than the sum total of
sa1ings from the improvement"
That the road should be made for
perIhanency is looked upon as an
abst@d idea. There isn't such thing
] as n permanent road, say the govern
SsaHt men.

Simple Little Trick to
Make Rim Fit on Wheel

When rim with tire is mounted on
the wheel, it often happens that the
rim cannot be moved into place, re-
naming partly on and partly off.
Slight springing of the rim is all that
is needed and this may be done by
placing the head of jack against the
hub of the wheel, and the base of the
jack on the protruding portion of the
rim. Thus sprung little, hammer
blow will slide the rim over the edge
of the wheel. In most cases of this
kind, the mere operation of the Jack
will force the rim over the wheel.

Magnet Picks Up Nails

The state highway department of
Ohio is spending money to minimize
the danger of tire puncture on the
state roads. Several trucks are fitted
out with an electro magnet, attached
to the rear and close to the ground
These trucks are run over the high
ways and they pick up all the stray
nails, scrap iron, etc. In a five-Inile
trip one of the trucks picked up 100
pounds of nails and iron and collected
6O3 pounds In the course of day.

tent1On-the little stone
Office in which he worked for Lord
Fairfax is to become a show place
OF Clark county, Virginia.
A hundred and seyenty-eight years
ago George Washington might have
been found there any day, figuring
busily and porting over outstretched
charts and maps. In the neighbor-
hood he made his first acquaintance,
as a surveyor, with country he was
later to know as a soldier. Here he
became accustomed to hardships and
privations such as were to be his lot
In the Revolutionary war. The lit
tie Office is only some sixty miles or
so from Washington, D. c. When
the young surveyor worked there it
was on wild frontier
Henry, Lord Fairfax, was once visit
ing his relative, William Fairfax
when George Washington was pres
ent. Lawrence Washington had mar
ried William Fairfax's daughter. The
great man took a fancy to the boy,
just past his seventeenth birthday
Finding in him abilities and attain
ments beyond his years, he engaged
him to survey his vast tracts of land
In the rich valley of the Alleghanies.
Washington set out In March, 1748,
together with George William Fair
fax; and, through Ashley's Gap in
the Blue Ridge mountains, the west
aern frontier of inhabited Virginia,
they passed into the valley. In the
wilderness in the Shenandoah val
ley, about twelve miles from the pres
ent town Of Winchester, they stopped
at lodge where Lord Fairfax's land
bailiff, or steward, dwelt with as many
negroes as were necessary to farm the
uewly cleared land.
This first arduous expedition lasted
five weeks, with results of such salts
faction to Lord Fairfax that he him
self moved across the Blue Ridge
soon afterward, taking up his quar-
ters at the lodge. He laid out
manor for the place, which he called
Greenway court, after his ancestral
home in England; but the house was
never built. The master himself slept
III a wooden structure about IL feet
square. On the lawn nearby he built
one-story office, where his deeds
were drawn and his quit rents col
lected. There the boy Washington did
his work, remaining for three years
in the service Of Lord Fairfax. Many
OF the now famous plats of his sur
veys and subdivisions we're made un-
der this roof.
Washington's life as surveyor,
gave him splendid physique. When
he had his growth he was straight

Of Lake George flow into Lake Cham

because the music Of the falls remind

for Ticonderoga, the present name OF
the city. Now the city has one
