Automobile Inspection
Would Avert Accidents

Many automobile accidents could be
eliminated if motorists got into the
habit of having their cars inspected
and overhauled regularly, in the opin-
ion Of the National Safety council,
which points out that great proper
ton of automobile accidents are due
directly to faulty equipment.
The following rules also should be
carefully adhered to by motorists In
order to cut dowf the number of un-
necessary accidents:
Brakes should be kept in efficient
condition at all times, and frequent
tests should be made.
Chains should be used during fey
and wet weather.
Number plates should be kept clean
Motorists should not tolerate noisy
muffiers
All cars should be equipped. with
bumpers. as they will lessen damage
due to collision.

Europe's Falling Birth
Rates Cheer France

Paris.-The falling birth rates of
nearly all European countries con-
soles the French.
Statistics aren't up to the minute,
but the 1925 figures, just complete,
show France no longer is the only
"dying" nation.
France in 1925 had 1907 births per
1000 population. Sweden dropped to
IT'S. and even England made poor
err showing than France.
But the glorious part of it, to the
French, Is that Germany, with a rate
of 1851 quarter Of q century ago,
now boasts only 205.
Mature hates vacuum" says one
commentator, land Asia. resuming
her march, will swarm over to fill the
void" Even Switzerland say the stat
isticians. Is on the downward trend
in its birth rate.

Army Car Drivers Must
Share Road With Others

Listed among the strict prohibitions
observed by operators of United
States army cars are: Smoking while
driving, repeated sounding of horns,
and holding back faster-moving cars.
On dry, dusty roads the driver must
run at reduced speed, so that no I'M
necessary dust will be raised to OBJ
scure the vision of other motorists
When meeting an approaching car the
soldier-chauffeu is ordered to give 1t
no less than half the road. If the road
is narrow or rough he nslst slow down
to half speed No operator is allowed
to halt on a siages narrow road or
bend Of the roa4. Ts@se traffic orders
have been drawn up to provide the
greatest possible saving Of life, time
and motor equipment.

Cooling Moth Running
Great Walnut Orchards

Berkeley, Calif.--California walnut
growers are much concerned over the
inroads Of the codling moth on walnut
orchards. according to the California
experiment station.
The moth Is the same that is now
all too well known to apple growers.
1t Is present In nearly all orchards Of
prevalent in some localities. In one
particular orchard 81 per cent of the
trees were infested.
The experiment station worked with
the cooling moth in all stages of de-
velopment. 1t was found that 1t
moved freely from apples to walnuts,
anu its behavior was practically the
same on both. The insect lays eggs
In the undeveloped flower, which Is
stimulated to rapid growth. The lar
vac that emerge from the eggs are
soon provided with abundant food In
the surrounding tissue at the expense
Of apple or walnut host.
Spraying the trees with Is per cent
solution Of basic arsenate of lead In
the early weeks OF June or as soon as
possible is the method of extermina-
tion busting the tree is sometimes
tried, but is not as effective as spray
ing. Apple trees In the vicinity of
walnuts are now considered dangerous
to one Of California's best-known
crops.

CARE OF TIRES
BY CAR OWNERS
average Motorist Will Be
Found Guilty of Neg
Iecting Some Detail.

Most forgotten of all parts of mo-
tor car when they are IN good condi-
ton. and most blamed when they go
wrong, tires plead mutely for a
drivers attention.
If you should ask the average mo-
torist whether he takes care Of his
tires, he would probably reply, "Of
course; and yet the chances are that
he is neglectful of some detail of tire
care.
Three Tire Factors.
There are only three factors which
govern the cost per mile of tire opera
tfon. The first is the quality of the
tire, the second. the conditions Of op-
Grafton, and the third, the care Of the
tire by the owner. In order to cut
down the cost OF tire mileage. all
three factors must be regarded as Inn
Rortant.
It is of no benefit to buy the best
tires obtainable, put them on your
car, and then forget about them.
Watch for small cuts, bruises, pieces
of metal or other foreign matter in
your tires. Slight defects such as
these, Ii unattended to, will cause
serious trouble
Proper imitation of tires is most i'm
portant. Tires OF any size are made
to hold a definite amount of air under
pressure. Any certain tire Ia designed
to carry its prescribed weight only If
II is properly inflated. Therefore,
don't wait until your tires are obvi-
ously fiat before reinfiating them,
and don't trust to the kick method
to tell you whether or not they are
hard enough. Take pressure read
Ing once a week, whether your tires
seem to need it or not. determination
fexes the tire sidewalks too much,
causing them to break down.
Care of Balloon Tires.
determination in a balloon tire is
not as noticeable as in cord tires, and
for this reason, extra care must be
taken in checking up on balloon tires.
In this type of tire, it is not neces-
sary to use such high pressure as in
cord tires, but it is just as important
to see that you have proper imitation.
Balloon tires are also often overin-
fiated. This destroys much of their
power to absorb road shocks.
Don't abuse your tires by driving
In car tracks and deep ruts, or by
ssraping curbstones. And don't for
get that proper care of your tires
means saving both of time and
money.

Anat1 iosephe arrived in New

a Penniless dreamer envisioning the
sale of an idea to American finance.
The dream came true.
Several business leaders handed
Josepho his check, named the inventor
vice president of the Photomaton, Inc,
and announced plans for nation
wide chain of studios where the pub
lie might photograph itself, eight
shots for quarter.
The inventor holds to his Socialistic
theories despite his admission to
capital.
Il plan to create trust fund with
half of this money, to be devoted to
general charity" he said. 1.-THE other

''The average inventor has hard
life and It is rare instance for him

my life end, II wee'th to helping my
brother inventors to similar success"
Josepho was born in Omsk, Siberia,
81 years ago. He was interned In
Prague during the revolution, but
escaped through Turkey to Siberia.
After the war he opened cheap studios
In Gsdna and Japan and while there
conceived his automatic photo device.
Months of poverty and days and
nights of experimenting followed his
arrival in New York. He finally In
terested Henry Morgenthau, former
ambassador IT, Turkey, and an expert
mental studio was opened in Broad

Passing on Blind Turns
Very Dangerous Practice

Passing on blind turns That's too
common trait of the average motor
ists according to the safety bureau of
the Natlona. automobile club. Max
ing up time, delay In passing the ear
ahead until too late for such passing,
recklessness, taking a chance, all these
factors enter into the problem of
hazard.
A group Of newspaper men set out
TO OBSERVE the other day a driver who
was just ahead of them and who
seemed to have a habit of attempting
to pass at the wrong moment. Time
after time this driver would slow up
on the straight-away only to speed
and pass the cars ahead when he came
to a turn. There was something
radically wrong with his driving com
pick. He might have intended to be
careful, but his judgment brought him
to grief.
Most accidents are caused by just
such drivers, drivers who should
not be allowed at the wheel Of a
motor car, as they are a menace to
the safety of others. The innocent
victim Is usually the man swinging
around a turn only to find a foolhardy
pilot taking mcre than his share Of
the highway.
forfeiture of drivers license, a
few days in jail, Shese are sentences
that should be the reward Of the
man who takes a chance when in TAX

The practice OF monarchs drinking

sions recently. Among the hosts were
Lord and Lady Aston and the duchess

gainesville road. For 81 consecutive
years the farm and its maple grove
have been operated by Isaac Hosford
and his descendants. 1t passed from
father to son. Lynn II. Hosford,
World war veteran. Is the present
owner.
II has seen all phases of sugar
making methods from the primitive to
the modern. In 1870, Hosford set 800
wooden buckets and ss&aghs on the
ground beneath the maple trees to
catch the sap. A gouge was used for
tapping A long handmade wooden
spout was inserted and from this the
sap dropped into the buckets and
troughs.
In the Long Ago.
The sap was gathered with the a,d
of an OK team hitched Is noat sled
on which wooden saddles were Is ar
ranged to hold two barrels of ff9m
thirty TO forty gallons each. che sad
dies prevented the barrels from roll
ing off.
The sap was poured into two iron
kettles holding from forty to sixty
gallons each and bricked In an arch.
When the sap had seen boiled down
to strip the kettles were lifted off the
arch and away from the fire by means
Of pole rested In another pole with
a crotch. the end of which was fas-
tened to the kettle by means Of
heavy log chain.
The next method for boiling sap
had as Its essential van with fiue
heater. The pan had partitions ena-
bling the operatos TO keep the sap sep
arate from the strip by means of gate
slides When the sap became strip II
was drawn Of through a faucet d.
rectly over the fire.
This plan was replaced in 1886 with
an evaporation invented by Henry
HILL a boynood chum Of Harris Hos
ford.
To house this new evaporator a
large sugar house was built to cen
tralize the gathering OF the sap. as
Hosford's "sugar bush" now con-
tanned 1000 trees.
Modern Methods Come.
About this time wooden buckets
were replaced by new galvanized
buckets. The method Of tapping also
was changed. A three-eighths inch bit
and patented metal spile with
shoulder for attaching the bucket
were used
In 1900 young grove Of 200 trees
had reached production and large
and improved evaporator was placed
behind the one purchased fourteen
years before. The trees continued to
increase until their number required
$500 buckets. These $500 buckets
yielded 1000 gallons Of strip in 1919
and again In 1873

sidered one of the largest In Geauga
