AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
 AT THIS SEASON

The time of year has arrived when automobile drivers will find that extra precautions while they are piloting their cars will be nec- essary if they wish to protect their own property and lives, as well as those of others. The action of rub Der tires on wet pavemcnts is well known, water Is a lubricant to rub ber and even the toughest treads are liable 10 slip under the inn pulse of suddenly applied power or quick application of brakes. Frosty evenings may be expected, with melting frosts in the forenoon 10 aid and abet any rain that may fall in keeping the highways damp. Falling leaves increase the danger element, they retain the moisture and add very much to the slip pcriness.
 Many car owners are anxious to take advantage of the last few days before winter sets in and use the roads in all directions. The number of cars is great perhaps not as great az on the hottest days. but the tourists and day drivers are numerous just the same. The combination of slip pcry spot and a sudden emergency is quite likely to occur at any min ute. The answer is obvious-watch for it and, by properly controlling your car so that you may be pre- pared at all times 10 anticipate the unexpected safeguard yourself and others.

Q. What are The Jonathan Papers?
 A. A volume of essays that ap- peared originally in The Outlook, {" The Atlantic Monthly and "Scrib- ners Magazines" dealing chiefly with outdoor topics, especially gardens and flowers.
 c. Where did the game of checkers originate?
 A. IL is thought that Homer de- scribes the game in the first book of the Odyssey, as being played by suitors of Penelope to amuse them selves and which, according 10 Philo6tratus, was invented by Pala- medes at the siege of Troy. On the walls of Thebes Rameses III. is depicted unmistakably playing checkers with a lady; and in the British Museum are many speci- mems of ancient Egyptian draught- men and draughtboards. The boards were checkered, but were unlike ours in size or shape and the draughtmen are of various shapes, although none are capable of being "crowned" as the modern game.
 Q. What does "Brevet" before military or naval title mean?
 A. A commission to an officer promoting him to higher rank without conferring right to re- ceive the corresponding advance in pay.

THE LEGION CONVENTION
 AT PHILADELPHIA

A few weeks ago the eyes of the sporting world were turned toward Philadelphia where Gene Tunney a war veteran, was trimming one Jack Dempsey of the shipyards, thereby winning the championship of the heavyweight boxing world. On Philadelphia, this week, will be centered the attention of many buddies, veterans of the war, watching the maneuvers of the American Legion. Philadelphia is getting its full share of attention from all sources even at that the Sesquicentennial is a loss.
 There is much of interest tran spring in Legion circles, however, part of 1t. at least, being interna- tional in effect. We may read the figures of membership gains, no less than 76,614 names having been added to the roster of the organization this year, with pleas ure and good wishes, we may note that disabled veterans have been aided to the extent of three and a half billions with even more pleas ure and we can look forward to the election of a national com mander with the hope that one or another candidate will be success flu. But, it is safe to say that the action of the convention toward the proposal to hold it's next national convention in Paris is capable of promoting the greatest interest, particularly in view of the fact that the French people have been represented as being none too friendly toward us since it appears that war debts will not be can celled.
 There is no question but many factors will call the veteran back to Paris. The soldier will wish to see the country over which he once fought, he will enjoy renew ing old acquaintanccs, among whom may be counted the gentle men who wear white coats and stand back of a mahogany bar, in some instances, at least, he will wish to tread the streets of Paris in civilian garb. We cannot blame him for wishing to bring back the pleasant memories of 1918.
 But the question of international politics, of the effect upon the somewhat strained relations of the | two countries, is of most interest to Us. And it appears that the visit of the Legionnaires might i'm prove the conditions. Certainly it would if the tourists from our lands exercised a little diplomacy and there is no reason to expect 1 that they will not.
