of busy throbbing machines. These
prison workshops were run on three

eight hours, the nightshift seven

other two-thirds are either given to

or given to him upon his release. The

Then we passed on into the main
building. Here it was plainly to be
seen that many of the workshops had
formerly been the giant prison cells
into which the victims of the czarism
that is gone had been thrown whole

Elections over the departed czarism,
with all it's horrors, to hear the war
den tell of his latest purchase of Ger
man machinery, purchases over which
he displays great enthusiasm. Here
are four machines that cost 2,400
roubles apiece. There are two others
that cost 5000 roubles, fresh in their
new paint and polish. They are be-
ing put into place. Soon they will be
at work. In another room we come
upon long rows of Singer Sewing Ma
chimes, imported from the United
States. Here the cloth is made into
goods of various kinds. The finished
products were displayed by an Gin
structor," a prisoner. He was ar
rested in 1922, following the discovery
that he had been a member of the
czarist police before the revolution.
He was very accommodating and
didn't mind telling about his check
cred past.
Then we pass on into the cell blocks,
where the prisoners live, which are
built pretty much on the order of
American prisons, tier of cells rising
on tier. We pass along the lowest
tier.
We come upon cell that was used,
it is explained, for the punishment of
prisoners thru solitary confinement.
Now it is a bath room. No black
dungeons in this prison now.
We go thru the prison hospital.
There is room for dozen but on this
evening there is only one inmate. I'm
mediately cases become serious they
are sent off to regular hospitals and
given every possible care.
Then we come upon the prison eco

prisoners may purchase what they de-
sire. 1t is in charge of Hora, a for
mer Czecho-Slovakian spy. He is
dressed quite neatly and smokes his
cigarette quite jauntily. One of the
members of our Party is also Czech
from Prague. Hora is from Prague.
He tries to minimize his crime by de-
claring that he had merely written
letter during the famine. But we were
later shown the mass of evidence
against Hora, who was Czech doc
tor, had worked himself into the
Soviet Political Police and betrayed
some of it's secrets to the Czech white
guards and the Czech Mission. He
had been here six years, out of an
eight-year sentence. He took his i'm
prisonment quite philosophically, said
he had no complaints to make.

RIGHT OF-WAY DRIVING RULES
PUZZLE CAPITAL MOTORISTS
Survey Shows That Only Four of % Picked
at Random Really Know What
Regulations Provide

this, a man must know the right-of.
way rule, the former minstrel decided.
Here was just the man.
Bill" asked the late minstrel wneA
he cOrnered the hero OF the Is acct.
dentless years, 'do you think you
could pass an examination for an op.
orators permit"
Sure. was the reply. II know
the regulations. You've got to know
'em 10 keep out OF UrcHiple. I've
driven right here for Is years and
think how many l would have had
if / didn't keep UP with the regula-
tions. Fifteen years. Boy. you've
got to know your rights and the
other fellows to keep out OF trouble
that long"
His Friend Explains.
What's the right-of-way rule
now"
Same as it's always been. Even
when they changed almost all the
regulations. they left the old right-of.
way rule stand. 1t goes like this:
When two or more vehicles reach
a highway intersection in any part OF
the District of Columbia at approx
mately the same time. the vehicle on
the right shall have the right-of-
way"
"Blah." said the ex.minstrel.
Those is accidentless years began
to look very much as II Bills path
had crossed only those of some very
adroit and self-effacing drivers. II
not that, they are at least fishy.
Strangers and friends having
proved sublimely disappointing, the
minstrel turned to relatives. Two
xxyhn he
breakingly ignorant of the exact regu-
lation that the others who might have
been brought into the examination
automatically were assumed to be in
that state that makes wisdom seem
folly.
All told. % persons were asked to
state the right-of-way rule under which
they operate cars. Four were able
to do so. 1t may have been that the
minstrel was exceptionally unlucky in
finding those who do know the law.
That, however. is seriously to be
doubted. Those questioned represent
all classes. They drive all kinds of
cars. from the least expensive to the
| most costly.
Here's the Rule.
Now for the "a Of the 90 who did
not know just what the traffic regu.
| lations have to say concerning the
right of way as it applies to motor
vehicles, here it is.
"A vehicle approaching a street
| intersection shall slow down and be
kept under such control as to avoid
colliding with pedestrians or vehicles.
| Operators of vehicles approaching O
street intersection shall look out for
and give the right of way to vehicles
| approaching from the right; provided.
| that vehicle making a right or left
hand turn shall give the right Of way
to through traffic"
That's all. Nothing about approx.
mately or anything OF the kind. II
you are on the right and going
straight through an intersection the
right Of way is yours. There are no
ifs. ands or butts. II you are on the
left or going to make a turn at the
intersection you do not have the right
of way.

HEAT AFFECTS AUTO OIL,
MOTORISTS ARE TOLD
Car Experts Explain How Better
Mileage May Easily Be
Obtained.

At this season many motorists are
wondering why they do not get bet
ter oil mileage. During the Winter
they were accustomed to running
with long periods between oil changes
without the addition of any oil in the
interim. Now they are concerned
because the engine seems to use too
much lubricant.
Are they not forgetting that the
season makes a great difference? 1t
is not so much because the engine
operates with a higher temperature
and is more likely to burn off oil
on warm days, but rather a matter
of less crankcase dilution. In the
Winter much that registers on the
oil gauge is nothing but gasoline
which has leaked down past the pis.
tons as a result of excessive choking.
At present choking is at low ebb
and whatever fluid the crankcase
indicator registers is oil and very
little Of anything else.

Warns of High.Pressure Hose.

Motorists are advised not to use a
high pressure hose on the body of the
car when washing it. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that the same exemption
should be extended to the chassis. If
great deal of mud has been allowed
to accumulate on the cars running
gear, there is no better way for the
home car washer to remove it than by
applying water from highpressure
hose. Discoura cement too often marks
the use of the other methods generally
available.

Belief that the heavy shipments OF
sheep out Of the state during the past
seven seasons will not reduce the amount
of breeding stock for 1927, but that to
the contrary there should be more breed
ing stock in the state next year than
during 1926, is expressed by j. g.
Diamond, c. (iesgL(e MGb,..wH the cd W
Diamond, federal agricultural statistician,
in reply to a query by a Helena banker.
In his statement Mr.. Diamond says that
on January 1, 1925 there were 1881, 900
sheep of all ages IN Montana, Of which
2,O71,OOO, or rs per cent were breeding
ewes; $4,000, or 21 per cent, were eve
lambs; and $4,000, or 2 per cent, were
rams and wethers.
On September 1, 1926, by reason Of ship
ments, the number Of breeding ewes had
been reduced by 181. 900 head, against
which for replacement there were $4,000
eve lambs carried over from 1925, less
those fattened for market, or about 473O00
eve lambs aged over one year. Potential
breeding stock, therefore, on September 1,
1925, was a full 100000 head larger than
on September 1, 1925.
September and October total net rail-
road fOrwardings have not yet been fully
tabulated, but the total railroad move
ment was about 1,166, 130 head. Net for
wardings out of the state will, of course,
fall below this total, which compares with
6O9,66O head, the total railroad movement
Of September and October in 1925.
Ordinarily September and October ship
ments would be made up very largely Of
the current seasons lambs. What has hap
pened this year cannot be determined until
the January survey Of actual classification
Of marketings on the part Of owners is
tabulated. 1t would appear, however, that
a somewhat larger percentage Of old ewes
have been culled out this year, so that the
apparent large increase in breeding stock
as computed for September 1 may be re-
duced.
The impression that total numbers Of
sheep in the state have been materially re-
duced and the breeding stock has been
cut down, based on the increase in ship
ments this season over last year, is not
justified as yet by an analysis of the
monthly marketings of 1925, and consider
ing the fact that the 1925 lamb crop was
about 1000 larger than in 1925 November
and December shipments this year, there
fore, may still exceed those Of last year
by a good margin without impairment Of
foundation stock.
