Having defined the automobile it.
self the next things of interest to
consider are the highways upon
which it is to run.
These highways are divided into
two classes, public and private.
Most motorists also classify them
ms either good. bad or Indifferent.
A highway which everybody is en-
Titled to use is a public highway.
A private highway is one which only
the owner thereof may use. 1t is
not necessary to consider the latter
class. except to say in passing that
lii is not necessary to secure a Ii
cense to drive an automobile on a
private way nor to comply with any
Atatutory limitations regarding
Speed, etc.
Such unfortunate restrictions on
fthe right of every citizen to do as
he pleases are incident only to the
use of those highways which every
body else may use and are founded
upon that premise.
All highways originally laid out
as public highways retain their
character as public highways until
the public use over them is aband-
|oned by vacation proceedings, or,
in some cases. by non-user or
abandonment
Public highways may be divided
again into roads, streets and alleys,
of which it is necessary to consider
only the first two. by reason of the
fact that alleys do not lend them
selves to motoring.
A road is, in general, any strip OF
ground appropriated to the public
use for travel. A street is road
or public way in a municipality.
Liability for the maintenance OF
the former is usually upon the
state. county or township, and fol
the latter. upon the city, town 9I
borough in which it is situated.
In this connection, however, il
should be pointed out that all streets
are highways, but all highways are
not streets. and there are Otter
very important differences between
them.
The purpose for which they are
established is that of public traVe
in both instances, but the rights oi
Milford chronicle., 1926-04-30

@AUTOMOBILEW
Highways Defined

the public are much greater in
streets than in roads. The use of
the streets, however, is more re-
stricted than that of road, because
upon the roads the motorists are
subject only to the statutory regula-
tions of the state, whereas streets
are always, in addition, subject to
municipal or local regulation and
control.
The principal idea which the mo-
torist should get into his head with
regard to both classes is that there
are ways and means for transporta-
tion for everybody; that the right of
the individual driver is no greater
and no less than that Of any other;
and that their safe and proper use
depends upon the care taken by
each individual to see that he ap-
propriates none of the rights of his
fellow traveller to himself.
In this connection, the principal
fault of Americas motoring public
seems to be a lack of common, eV-
ery-day courtesy, rather than will
full violation of the law. 1t may
very well be that almost all of our
difficulty in adapting ourselves to
transportation by automobile is
traceable to the mere matter of our
brusque manners.
We attempt to jostle our way
along the highways in vehicles Oc-
cupying considerable space and
weighing several tons in the same
manner as we have been accustomed
to elbow our way along crowded
pavement.
This matter is more for the psy-
chologist than for the lawyer, and
will doubtless gradually improve
with our standards of good taste
and self-cOntrol.
At the same time, it would be well
for us all, individually, to realize
that common, everyday courtesy as
applied to the operation of our auto
mobile is the greatest possible safe
guard against accidents.
Such little matters as giving the
right of way at intersecting
streets, giving and regarding plain
and timely signals of our inten-
tions, ETC., will be found to pay big
dividends to each individual in safe
economical and pleasant motoring.

Baked Potato .sTips',


Mrs. Sarah T. ROrer. Philadelphia
cooking expert, adds two or three
artful touches to baked potatoes
which make them taste unusually
good.
After scrubbing large, perfect po-
tatoes. 1 soak them an hour in cold
water" she says.
Il bake them on the upper CRATE
of a medium oven, and turn them
after 20 minutes. I let them bake
another half hour, or until they feel
soft when pressed in a napkin.
Never try them with fork, for
this allows the steam to escape and
makes them heavy. Serve in nap
kin at once.
1.-THE secret of good baked pota-
toes is a slow oven; for a hot oven
hardens the skin at once and makes
the potatoes soggy."

Stuffed and Browned

@teAAsG9 .sAAeN 8ACN(AA%9
Miss Margaret Allen Hall, nutri-
tIon expert at the Battle Creek Col
Iege of Home Economics, has a de-
cided preference for stuffed potatoes.
She fixes them like this:
medium-sized potatoes
u cup milk or cream
tablespoonfuls butter
1 teaspoon salt
Select well-shaped potatoes about
equal size. Bake until soft, then cut
or break each potato at about the
middle. Remove the contents, mash,
add salt. butter, and sufficient cream
or milk to cause the potato to beat
up light. When very light. fill skins
with the seasoned potato, piling it
up in irregular shapes. Set the
stuffed potatoes in oven a few min
utes to brown.

For Oil Stove Users
Women who cook with oil will
appreciate one of the newer oil
stove models with a reversible,
easily filled glass reservoir. The
hands do not come in contact with
the kerosene at all.
Khitens Hands
Before using rubber gloves sprinkle
baking soda inside. You'll find them
easy to remove, and your hands
will be whitened.
When to Use Salt
Underground vegetables. the roots
or stems of plants, should be cooked
in boiling unsalted water. They
contain a certain amount of weedy
fiber which is hardened by salt.
Salt them when ready to serve.
"Top ground" vegetables. such as
peas, beans, cabbage, and onions,
are much better cooked in boiling,
salted water, Cooked this way they
retain their color. and their flavor is
intensified:

 Daniel L. Monroe and John w. Easton, two members of the party, arrived in Seward the past week from the states and are at present out at Lawing spending a few days prior to the arrival of the third member, C.. A. Finlayson, on the s. s. Yukon. They are all young men and this years graduates from Princeton. The Alaska trip was given to them as sort of present or vacation by their parents before they set out to make their mark in the business world.
 MT. Bailey has kindly consented to write for the Gateway a detailed ac- count of the hunt and the region in general. It is certain his article will be awaited with eagerness by those interested in a new country.
 Upon his arrival in Seward some months ago from the region MT.
