MANY WAYS to Cooperate.
Yosemite Park Records
Broken for This Year

Surprising all yearly attendance
records, Yosemite closed the 1926-1927
travel season on September 80 with
a total of 490,430 visitors, an increase
of 20 per cent over the year previous.
when only 274,209 visitors registered
at the various park entrances.
A study of the travel season just
closed reveals 444.7S6 persons enter
ing the park in motor vehicles, as
compared to the 234,567 visitors that
were brought to Yosemite during the
1925-1926 travel season in 74,970 mo-
tor vehiclese.
Park authorities are positive that
the phenomenal increase for the sea-
son just closed is due primarily to
the new all-year road enabling the
automobile owner to drive to Yosemite
365 days in the year.

AGAIN ADVOCATES
ROAD COURTESY
Giving of Proper Signals in
Intelligent Manner Is
Often Overlooked.

Highway courtesy and cooperation
are ideals that constantly are laid
before motordom in the campaign for
safer highways. One of the chief
difficulties standing in the way of
their attainment by motorists general
ly is the failure of their advocates, in
too many instances, to define precise
~ what is meant by the term. says a
statement issued by national head
quarters of the American Automobile
association.
"As one of the most enthusiastic
and persistent advocates of these
ideals, the American Automobile asso-
citation has submitted QUESTIONABLE
to it's clubs executives in 92S commu-
mites in an effort to get an accurate
and up-to-the- minute definition of
courtesy and cooperation between
motorists" says the statement.
Signals Are Important.
Incorporation and courtesy appar-
emily begin with the giving of sig
nals," says the statement. Virtually
all of the replies to the QUESTIONABLE
emhasized this point and. undoubted-
ly, a large majority of motorists will
agree with its primary Importance.
For with millions using the nations
highways, it is obvious that one driver
cannot, with safety, leave another in
doubt as to his intentions. The care
lessly given signal is almost as bad
as no signal at all. Yet many thou
sands of motorists do not realize that
they are being discourtecus, to say
the least, when they fail to give the
signal that is clear.
',The giving of signals does not stop
with those involving the extended
ARM" the statement points out. Park
ing lights are very important signals
that frequently are overlooked, the
A. A. A. finds. To leave car without
a light to inform other motorists Of
its presence is to invite them to what
may be physical disaster. From this,
It may be seen that there is much
more to using the parking light than
merely escaping a visit to traffic
court"
Many Ways to Cooperate.
In actual operation of the car on
the street or highway, there are many
ways to cooperate. These are known
to virtually every driver, but many
fail to make use of their knowledge In
cooperating with other motorists, the
statement says.

Auto Can Stop Quicker
Than a Fast Locomotive

A traffic expert states that train
running only 40 miles an hour re-
Quires 1920 feet in which to stop,
whereas the ordinary motor car run
ming at the same speed can be stopped
in 03 feet and it requires but few
seconds. 1t can plainly be seen from
this that the burden of avoiding acct
dents rests almost solely with the
motorist. The engineer of the locomo-
tive is powerless, regardless of his
vigilance, precaution and skill. About
oil he can do is pull on the whistle
cord and shudder as some one traces"
him TO the crossing.

What was it they bent over?
Helen's parcel, with it's bunch of

it's sprigs of artificial holly. But with

Gasoline Evaporation
Spoiled Station Profit

Gasoline service station owners in
New Jersey lost approximately $780,
600 through evaporation and leakage
when they attempted to take advan-
tage of the 2-cent tax on gasoline
which became effective in that state
on July last. Several weeks before
the tax went into effect retail dis
tributors stocked up, as all gas deliv-
cred before July was free of tax. It
is estimated that while some dealers
made profit by pocketing the 2
cents, the loss to some of the bigger
concerns was heavy.

"The local shops aren't closed. They
never open! How would branch off
that hemlock we ran into do for a

"Splendiferous," said Helen. Then
she wanted to know what became of
the wishbone she had seen on his
plate at dinner? He had saved it. for
good luck. And what was it one used
to do with wishbone? Why, make a
pen wiper, to be sure. So Helen made
one, and dressed it in red ielt cut

if any one here ever uses, much less
has occasion to wipe pen."
Then she sent Clay to gather the
alder berries readable from the porch,
Later she strung these for neck
lace on a bit of colored string from
her parcel. After the Eliots had re-
tired she went as eagerly to work as
If she had never forsworn Christmas.
Twisting the strands of hay she made
dainty baskets. She also constructed
candlesticks of cornstalks, trimmed
prettily with fringed husks. In the
meantime Clay WAS not idle, for he
pulled birchbark from sticks in the
woodbox and borrowing needle and
thread from the Eliot workbasket,
sewed tiny hemlock sprigs into "Mer-
ry Christmases," making objects that
Helen asserted would be considered
"iust wonderful" if discovered in a
gift shop.
All was at length completed, but the
two had little time for admiration of
their handiwork, since the parcels
must be wrapped with all the wealth
of the tissue, the ribbon, the holly,
and the seals.
And was Helen ''tired to death"
when all was complete? Nay, stand
ing beside Clay on the little porch,
listening to the cracking ice as trees
swayed in the rising wind, she felt
as If swaddled in the comfort of a
great joy. Vainly had she thought
herself "sick of Christmas" At her

PITT HAS WALkOvER
IN FRAY WITH DRAKE
By the Associated Press.

DES MONIES, Iowa, October 1j.-
The Pitt Panthers. opening up with a
relentless offensive that could not be
stopped by the Drake Bulldogs, won a
32-to-0 victory in an inter-sectional
game here today.
The invaders charged down the field
for two touchdowns in the opening
period to insure victory, and except
held them even, had little difficulty
in scoring.
The star of the game was Booth,
Pitt fullback, who used a deadly stiff.
arm for long and short gains through
the line. Capt Glbby Welch. much.
heralded halfback, played good
game. but was outshown by Booth.
Only once did Drake threaten TO
score. In the second period a pass
from Captain Cook was just out of
reach as Barnes, quarterback, raced
over the goal line.
The first Panther score came after a
march down the field when Booth
crashed across from the f1ve-yard line,
again he scored on the first play
after the kickoff. when he cut
through tackle, reversed the field and
ran 76 yards. He place-kicked both
goals.
The third marker came on a drive
by Welch. following a 37-yard gain by
Booth. Guarino. Panther end. scored
In the final quarter when he recovered
pass to Welch partly blocked by the
Bulldog safety man. Parkinson, sub
stitute, made the final score after an.
