often this season that he tried to

rumored among the chorus girls
and comedians that La Motto Is
bothered because there are only
80 attractions booked for his
house next season. This leaves
approximately five months in the
year open.
This situation is doubtless caused
by the desertion of Hurtig and
Semon and the wedding out process
instituted by Sam Scribner. 1t will
be remedied before the curtain
goes up.
The public. or at least that por-
ton of it that goes 10 burlesque
shows, can feel assured of seeing
better attractions next season.

Extremes of Heat
and Cold in Park

While skating through the frozen
forests of Yellowstone National park
this winter on an inspection patrol,
Chief Ranger Sam T. Woodring, writ
ing for Mature Notes From Yellow
stone Park" tells of taking bath in
one of the hot springs near Lake Vel
lowstone, after crossing the lake on
ice.
In his record of the trip the ranger
and his companion made complete
circuit Of the park in two-weeks
ski trip, visiting all of the isolated
posts, manned by other men in the
service.
''We skied directly across Yellow
stone lake and found the snow condi-
lions fine," Woodring reports. "The
following day we skied five or six
miles up the Old Faithful road from
the ranger cabin on the lake shore so
as to break a track and make the
travelling the next day a little easier.
Returning, we enjoyed fine bath in
natural hot water from one of the
springs between the station and the
lake Shore"

ROAD COURTESY
USUALLY SHOWN
General Attitude Appears to
Be Prevailing Good-Na-
tured Civility.

Courtesy of the road is fairly we'll
observed by drivers of motor vehicles
In general.
Occasionally one motorist may meet
with discourtesy and an exhibition of
boorish manners from another driver,
and of course the "road hog" is ever
with us. This, however, appears to be
the exception.
Courtesy and a prevailing good
natured civility appear to be the gen.
eral attitude of motorists toward each
other. y
But are we as motorists observing
the same courtesy and thoughtful con-
sideration toward the man and woman
who walks that we observe toward
each other? rs rt
Help Pedestrians.
Are we trying to make the way of
the pedestrian less difficult in crossing
less busy thoroughfares and congested
city streets?
Of course 1t is taken for granted
that every right-minded driver of a
motor vehicle is trying to observe the
laws governing traffic regulation and
to avoid accidents in every way pos
sible. This he is bound to do, not only
out of regard for the laws of the land,
and the protection of his fellow citi-
Eens, but as a self-protective measure
as well.
But are we as careful in the lesser
things as we might be?
Many motorists are in the habit of
rounding corners at fast rate of
speed. In doing this they may be
Obeying the law If the traffic signals
are set for them to go forward. But
surely good breeding and courtesy re-
quire that they drive little more
slowly in order to allow the pedes-
TRANS who are crossing the street at
the signal Of the traffic officer an op-
portunity to get across without any
mishap.
Unnecessary Honking.
Again, in the matter of blowing
horns unnecessarily. the motorist
often shows lack of consideration
toward those who are walking. How
often we notice a driver noiselessly
approach person on foot and then
suddenly emit hoarse "honk," caus-
ing that person to jump nervously.
This, in itself, is small matter, but
in the case of an old person it is very
confusing, and might even lead to
disastrous results in the case of man
or woman suffering from heart or
nervous disorder.
When stopping at boulevards a mo-
torist may greatly assist pedestrian
by making his intentions plain and
signaling the person crossing the
streets whether to stop or proceed.

Persons Who Drive Take
Good Care of Themselve.

Persons who drive automobiles take
better care Of themselves while walk
ing than do those who do not drive
cars, according to recent research
work looking into the causes of traffic
accidents.
1t is said that few motor-car drivers
are caught off their guard when walk
ing. The records show that the ma
jority of accidents to pedestrians in
volve persons who have had no expert
ence in handling cars.
The reasons for this are that in mo-
'toring the driver gets a perfect pic
ture Of what he faces as a pedestrian,
and when he walks he conducts him.
self accordingly. He walks in a con-
fident manner, and when he crosses
the streets at intersections he makes
allowances for the inability of the
traffic officers to look out for everyone.
He knows the approximate distance
in which car can stop. He is able to
observe whether the drivers are keep
ing their eyes on the road or not. He
is trained to take no chances and
watch signals, so that from his gen.
eral experience as a driver he is
trained automatically as a pedestrian.
1t would appear that the moral from
this is that every person should learn
to drive car at the earliest possible
moment.

Stock Regions Little
Bothered bv WOLVES

The large gray, or lobo, wolves have
been so reduced in the stock-raising
regions of the West by the unremit-
ting activities of the biological survey
of the United States Department of
Agriculture against them that their
depredations are almost ended. When
ever the presence of scattered indi-
vidual wolves is reported by stock
men the best available hunters of the
district are sent to trap or poison the
animals.
In New Mexico only eight wolves
were taken during the past year, as
against 81 the preceding year, al
though increased efforts were made to
get the last wolf in the state. Arizona
reports that Is wolves were taken
during the year and that no wolves
are now known to be within its bor-
ders. 1t is necessary to maintain a
constant patrol along the New Mexico
and Arizona boundary to prevent in
vasions of timber wolves and noun
tain lions from Mexico.

AUTOMOBILE ITEMS

Keep battery filled with distilled
water.
See that springs are creased occa.
sioinally.
See that the radiator Is kept filed
with water.
A nice time for pedestrian to cross
a street is about three or four O'CLOCK
in the morning.
If the engine does not start prompt.
ly when starter is pressed, get out and
discover the cause.
See that the front wheels toe IN
f1ve-sixteenths of an inch at front.
Wheels should be checked occasion
ally for alignment to avoid tire wear.
The new trend in automobile trucks,
according to displays at the New York
show, is toward lightness and speed.
Anything so they don't make them
wider.
A runaway horse that stopped when
a red light was turned against him,
as was reported, demonstrates again
that horse sense is greater in many
instances than driver sense.
y
The auto coming from the right has
the right of way at an intersection,
but it is well to remember that loco
motive has the right of way, whether
coming from the right or left.

Solve Vexed Problem of
Glaring Car Headlights

A novel solution of the vexed prob
lem of nonglaring headlamp illumi-
nation was described on June 2 at the
summer meeting of the Society of Au-
tomotive Engineers by X. D. Cham
bers, scientific research engineer, in an
address on complimentary color head
lighting.
Briefly, the proposed system con-
sists in the use of oval headlamps
each of which has two paraboloid re-
Electors, the upper one fitted with an
orange-colored glass and the lower one
with blue glass, and of color filter
box just inside the windshield of the
automobile in which are a sheet of
plain transparent glass that filters out
the orange rays and another that fit
ers out the blue rays. These filters
are connected electrically with the
bulbs in the lamps so that when the
orange filter is drawn down into the
line of vision Of the driver the blue
light is turned off and the orange light
turned on automatically, and when the
blue filter is drawn down the orange
light is shut off and the blue light
turned on.
Each viewing filter is transparent to
light of the same color and so the
driver can see practically the same
as If he were driving with white light.
