LET BEE FLY OUT
OF CAR WINDOW
Dangerous Move to Swipe at
Little Insect.

The motorist who grabbed for his
old hat as it blew off and in doing so
wrecked his new car has long been
the classic dumbbell. But what about
the man who goes into Mysteries and
then into the ditch, periling his life
and the safety of his passengers, be-
cause a little bee flies into his car?
Telling people not to be afraid of
bees is futile advice, for most persons
can't help regarding bees as unweI-
come guests. However, a knowledge
of bee behavior may give you conf
dence in how to act when one buzzes
around your head.
Not Looking for Trouble.
The bee that blunders into your car
is not out looking for deviltry and
somebody to sting. For ages the bee
has been praised as model of in
dustry, and If one flies into your car,
you may be sure that it is an accident,
for the bee is either out scouting for
nectar among the flowers, or return
ing to the hive.
The bee could give lots of us point
ers in minding our own business. Left
to himself, the bee will try to escape
and continue his work.
But right here is where most peo-
pie, who don't know bees, get excited
and swing and swat. That tells the
bee that you are his enemy. The bee
believes in preparedness, but he never
attacks, he only defends himself. If
you take swing at bee, the chances
are 1000 to l that you will be stung,
for the bee can dodge faster than you
can swat.
Let Bee Alone.
Don't fight the bee You're licked
before you start. Leave him alone, or
rather, give him chance to get out
of the car If the windows are open,
the bee will soon find his way out. At
pane Of glass the bee will act almost
like a fiy-futtering and buzzing
about, intent only on escaping. Re
member that the bee simply wants to
continue on his way unmolested.

Of the great negro educator. He said
that the citizens of a remote southern

district.
A meeting was held at the county

New York an agent whose task would
be to paint to desirable immigrants
the joys and the profits of agricultural
life in the cotton belt In the audience
sat an elderly and highly respected
colored citizen.

New Zealand Trucks Cut
Into Railroad Earning,

Passenger revenues OF New Zealand
railways are said to be much affected
by the competition of privately owned
motor services operating on parallel
routes, according to consular advices
to the United States Department of
Commerce from Wellington, New Zea-
land.
In the neighborhood of Wellington
alone, it is pointed out, some 80 cars
are running on routes from 10 to 125
miles in length, the main service be-
ing from Wellington to Wanganui.
The report states that, ostensibly
catering to intertown traffic, it actu-
ally does little more than one-f1fth
interior traffic as against four-fifths
through traffic.
The quicker service and cheaper
rates charged, added to the fact that
connections with other bus lines are
conveniently made, have diverted traf-
fic from the railway, according to the

clothes took different names.
She was lying in bed so that her
right knee was up in the air and with
the bedclothes draped over it, 1t was
quite mountainous looking.
i will call that Mount Knee" she
said.
Then there were ridges and lines
in between the bedclothes. +
She called these rivers and streams
and brooks.
"Quilt river" was the name of one.
"Coverlet brook" was the name Of
another.
"Sheet stream" was the name of a
third, for that was where the sheet
was folded over the outer spread.
'.Spread valley" she called a great
big part of the bed, and she called
her left knee:
"Hill Knee"
1t did not stick up so high as Mount
Knee.
'Lapland," she called the part
across her lap and she thought that
sounded quite geography-llke and
smart
Then she called the part where one
foot came down from Mount Knee:
Foothills"
And the other foot she called;
Spread gorge"
Then she played that she was going
to see all these places and she moved
her arms and hands around so that
they went up the mountains and down
into the valleys and now and again
with the way she moved some of the
scenery was lost--but then when you
travel you can't see everything al
once.
One view is apt to hide another.
So really, even though she spent the
day in bed, she did have very much

Water on Good Finish Is
Liable to Chip Paint

One of the early rules in the bust
ness of preserving the finish on auto
mobiles was to keep the hose off the
hood. A direct force of water upon
this most conspicuous part of the
car was frowned upon.
Motorists acted upon the tip and
haye saved many a dollar, but the
time has come to war against apply
ing the hose to the wheels. Many
cars do not carry as carefully painted
wheels as formerly, and a hard
wash is not good even for the best
painted wheels. Chipping is very
prevalent trouble in wheel finish, with
force Of water playing a conspicuous
part in making the wheels look shabby.

BEDcLoTHEs

Jane was sick in bed. She did not
feel very i'll, but she felt poorly when
she got up and tried to walk around.
When she did that her head ached
little and she felt little bit dizzy.
She had quite bad cold, too, and
she felt shivery when she got out of
bed.
Her mother had said that they
would break up the cold that very day
before it got really started.
So, while the cold was being broken
up, Jane stayed in bed.
1t was really quite nice and warm
in bed. The quilt was soft and warm
and Jane felt just poorly enough to
quite enjoy bed.
She had her books and toys about
her and her fayorite doll and her toy
lamb.
The lamb really was lamb, per-
feet lamb. The lamb was white with
a blue ribbon around its neck and the
dearest little squeaking baa-a-a
sounds could come from it whenever
pressed
During the morning Jane slept off
and on, and read off and on and
played with some of her toys.
Between all these things she had a
nice cup of broth or two and several
pieces of buttered toast.
There were no crusts on the but
tered toast because she was i'll and
so she had things little bit ''spe-
cial."
She really didn't like crusts very
much. She had heard of some who
liked the crusts best of all.
She was just the opposite way her
self. For some reason, or possibly
for no reason that could be named,
she didn't like crusts.
When afternoon came she played a
game of cards with the lamb.
The lamb didn't know much about
playing cards but was willing enough,
quite willing.
And then Jane played game with
the bedclothes.
She found herself getting in such
queer positions that she decided to

DO you know that brakes are among
the most important things about your
automobile9 Do you know that no
matter how fast you go there comes a
time when you must stop, and many
times stop suddenly? OF course. you
know 1t, but too many automobile
drivers pay little attention TO this fea-
ture of their cars.
Brakes should be maintained in re-
pair always They can be tested with
out great deal of equipment, in fact,
none at all. You know soon enough
whether or not your brakes are hold
ing.
It is a good habit to test the brakes
as soon as you leave your garage in
the morning AS you drive out apply
the brakes and see if they retard the
car sufficiently to give you instant

STEPPING OVER THINGS

IF YOU step over a child you will

luck to person to step over him
when he is lying down or to step
over his feet if he is sitting. If you
step over a fisherman's pole YOU

These are some of the superstitions
common in this country with regard
to "stepping over" and superstitions
Of kindred nature prevail in Sla-
vonia, France, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Bohemia, and Syria In Scot
land If you are out hunting or fishing
and you step over your companions
pole or gun he considers his luck
gone for the day. Kindred supersti-
lions are found among the North
American Indians and among many
African tribes.
The stepping over superstition
thus appears to be natural evolu-
ton which might be malevolent. A
person stepping over recumbent per-
son or his belongings was in superb
or position to the person or thing re-
cumbent, more powerfully placed for
evil. It was largely this leyden jar
idea which, among some ancient peo-
Piles and savage tribes, caused them

RoadIess Auto Seen

Trackless street cars having
become a reality, attention now
turns to the development of the
roadless automobile. The intro
duction of balloon tires was
hint of this. Cars now can nego-
tiate with comfort roads that
formerly were impossible. Trac-
tion is greatly improved and
power is ample.
New methods of spring sus
pension are being experimental
with, so it may be possible for
the body of car to remain vir-
tually level while the four
wheels adjust themselves to all
manner of conditions. Some of
the spring control devices are
so effective that being thrown
off the seat at high speed on
very rough road now is a rare
experience. These devices often
operate in such a way as to en-
able the wheels to skip certain
holes in the road.
