Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough or chest cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. It is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else It's no trou-
bic at all to mix and costs but q trifle.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
q full pint. This saves two-thirds Of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel it's penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the inhamed
throat membranes. It is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly lOosens the germ laden
phlegm. This three-fold action explains
why it brings such quick relief even in
severe bronchial coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosOte, in
q refined, palatable form, and known
az one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex,
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

DURANT SHOWS
NEW LINE

An entirely new line Of Durant
cars developed ky the group OF
well-known automobile executives
who assumed control Of Durant
Motors last year. is being re-
vealed to the trade and the pub
lie for the first time at the New
York automobile show.
There are two chassis, one
equipped with a three-speed trans
mission and the other with q
larger engine and a four-forward

ties to exhort smaller communi-
ties to use stop signs rather thau
automatic signal lights along their
busy thoroughfares.
AS to the light problem Of the
cities, some have made the dis.
covery that in lightcontrollad
areas, not necessarily congested
at hours, traffic flow is mark
edly slower than the average
person realized. In one city with
a speed limit of % miles an hour
it was found that actual traffic
flow was as low as 9 to IL miles
an hour under average circum-
stances and only about 16 miles
an hour under the best of con.
ditionS. On four Of the main
arterial highways Of another larg-
er city, the average flow was
found to be 51a to 9 miles an
hour-under speed limits Of Is
and 35 miles an hour.
These figures are typical of
many other cities. Naturally,
they have concentrated much at
tention upon the, traffic lights
and, in the opinion of many,
have drawn more unfavorable
comment upon them than is de-
served. But the demand grows
for a progressive system.

EASTERN Shore
FERRY ASKED

Motorists will be greatly bene-
fitted II the Interstate Commerce
Commission grants permission to
the Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company for the establishment
of a ferry service between Ches-
apeake Beach and point on the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland, about
10 miles from Cambridge.
Such q ferry would reduce the
mileage by automobile to Ocean
City and other Eastern Shore re.
sorts by at least "a miles, and
would cut the trip to Cambridge,
Md, by 36 miles.
The railway company has made
application for certificate Of pub
lie convenience and necessity, as
a preliminary step to the estab-
lishment Of the ferry, and plans
to put into service two boats.
At present there are two ferries
across Chesapeake Bay, the Bal
timore-Love Point ferry and the
Annapolis Claiborne ferry. Wash
ingtonians bound for points in
the territory which includes Cam
bridge, Salisbury, Ocean City and
Cape Charles, Va, will save a
great deal of time and mileage
If the ferry Is put into operation,
and even motorists from Balti-
more will serve six miles or more
to Southern Maryland points.
At present, via Annapolis -Clai.
borne the distance to Ocean City
is 152 miles. The proposed ferry
would cut this to 1913. The dis
tance across the bay via the pro,
posed route is 16 miles.

GABLE MOUNTAIN ROCK
GOES ON FAR JOURNEY

A piece of basalt rock, weighing in
the neighborhood of 100 pounds, that
for years, and perhaps ages, has held
a commanding view of this valley
from its resting place on top of Gable
mountain, was started this week on a
journey across the United States to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where in
company with at least one other rock
from every state in the Union 1t will
be used in the construction Of a new
home in the City of Brotherly Love.
The rock was shipped from White
Bluffs, Tuesday, by r. D. Barge to
his son, Cecil Barge, who is now max
ing his home in Philadelphia.
The man who is to build the new
home is friend of Cecil's and learn
ing that the latter was born in the
state of Washington, he appealed to
him to procure the rock from this
state, and Cecil passed the request on
to his father.
There are many types of rocks in
Washington but the basalt is probably
the most common, particularly east
of the Cascades, and it was for this
reason that Mr.. Barge chose that
kind.

"Here I am writing this at an out

"It has been the National Fete and

every corner either an impromptu
orchestra or an accordian is engaged
in grinding out tunes for the people to
dance to. None Of us dance much and
for once I've almost a feeling against
dance music. Apparently, only three
tunes are known, Ramona" "Con-

to end sometimes and then having to
go so slowly that any presentable
females are kissed several times by
adventurous lads who lean over the
backs of the open taxis-smost of them
are open.
"Montparnasse is almost impossible.
Every one who wants to see Paris
goes to the Cafe Select, Dome, Rot
onde, Coupole or one of the others.
You do see authors, artists and what
nots but such millions of tourists and
sightseers as well. Montmartre, which
was Paris 40 years ago, is now al
most SO again because it got overrun
with tourists and then they gave it a
miss for bit. We went up one even

 When two specimens blew in the same day and one of them was not only North American, but a bull fighter besides, the enthusiasm of the place knew no bounds.
 The first stranger to arrive was this Associated Press correspondent trailing Sidney Franklin, the Brook lyn bullfighter He got in on a train ahead of Franklin
 There was a procession to the one hotel. There was big crowd and cheers. Somebody tried to make a speech. The proprietor of the tavern embraced the reporter and made him a present of the ho- tel
 The reporter was accustomed to Spanish hospitality and he had heard a lot about Andalucian ebul- Hence. But, even so, he had hunch there was something wrong. Then the hotel man asked:
 Where are your swords?"

COWBOYS USE CARS
 FOR RANCH TRAVEL

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. IS. - It's only 30 minutes by motor from Houston, Texass largest city, to where cowboys in chaps ride the range in old-time fashion.
 On the $3O0,O0O LILY ranch just la few miles outside the city limits, an old-fashioned chuck wagon loaded with flour, bacon and beans still is in use.
 Almost from atop Houston's tall est structure may be seen the 33,- GOO acre ranch with cowboys on ponies shouting out the calls of the range as they weave in and out among the cattle.
 It is a picture of incongruity and within it is another. Now and then a cowboy dismounts and enters an automobile to hurry to some dis tant point on the ranch.
