AUTO DEATHS INCREASING.

He recent Montana state assembly saw fit
to kill the bill providing for the licensing Of
automobile drivers The wisdom of their act
may be questioned. Daily papers state that al
ready Is Montana residents have been killed III
auto accidents this year At the same date last
year 10 had lost their lives from the same cause.
That is 4 four-fifths increase III less than three
months. Ii that rate is kept up during the year,
the number Of deaths by automobile accidents
will be alalmingly large by the time December
31st is reached.
With more miles Of improved highways be-
ire built each year and with more people using
the automobile for pleasure and business, it will
become increasingly necessary to take adyan-
tage of every means to hold down auto accidents.
Many states have enacted drivers license laws
IN the belief that such laws provide a check on
the careless driver and ready means Of met
inc out punishment to him whenever he injuries
anyone, always with the object III mind of pro
tecting the public from his rashness 1t is very
probable such measure will eventually become
law in Montana.

A WISE INVESTMENT.
(Lewistown Democrat News

THE state of Michigan spends at least SiOo,
1 900 year annually to keep its lakes and
streams stocked with trout, but the people up
there feel that the results more than justify this
large expenditure. Not only does the money
spent come back several times over from tourists
who travel into Michigan to enjoy the sport at
forded on the lakes and along the streams
of the state but great enjoyment Is at
foroed native sports lovers. During the recent
session Of the Montana legislature there were
heard rather frequent complaints from members
of that body against the state fish and game
commission because of annual expenditures
which are not quite one-half the sum spent III

the members was not sufficient to defeat meas

Making Poultry Houses
Comfortable for Winter

1t Is impossible to remodel oid-type
poultry houses so that they will pro-
vide fresh air and at the same time
control frost and moisture as salts
fnctorily as new, we'll planned one
will do. There are. however, some
simple things that can be done for the
old poultry house that will make 1t
much more comfortable In winter.
There is probably nothing that can
be done to make an old house more
comfortable than to put In straw
loft overhead II the loft Is built
straight across just enough to be out
OF the way so that 1t Is not necessary
to stoop, overhead will be reduced
and proper temperature can be
maintained. The thickness Of the
LAYER OF straw should be anywhere
| from L. to Is inches after 1t has
settled.
Shutter-ventlators are much more
reliable for ventilation than muslin
curtains and In remodellng shutter
yentilator can often be substituted
/ for one sash OF an old window.
Floor space for birds may be In
/ creased by constructing dropping
boards and at the same time sanitary
conditions will be greatly improved.
Many common poultry diseases are
spread through Infected droppings.

Sometimes Folding Bed
Surprised Its Occupant

One Of the earliest manifestations OF
a congested population In New YORK
was the folding bed, writes Henry Col
Inns Brown In Valentines Manual.
This ingenious piece Of furniture was
designed to camounage Its real purpose
by assuming during the daytime varl-
GUS alien shapes, such as that OF
wardrobe, desk or chiffonier. But the
only one who dwet In state OF illu-
sion was It's owner. Everybody else
knew 1t was folding bed, but the
etiquette OF the times forbade discus
sion Of the subject.
1t was perfectly obvious that the
bookcase In the library OF an over
crowded apartment that had the ca
naclty Of Doctor Eliot's fve-foot book
shelf was a folding bed. Likewise
that the large cheval glass In front OF
an apparent cupboard concealed an
other OF the genus. but these innocent
actions were taken as matter OF
course.
/ There was one type OF folding bed,
however, constructed with weights,
that had q dlsconcerting habit when
its equilibrium was disturbed OF fold
Ing up like jackknife, to the Intense
amazement OF the occupant. For .
stout gentleman to find himself sud
denly awakened and standing on MS
head In bed was only small incon
vsnience compared with the imminenl
danger OF asphyxlation that the situa
ton afforded.

THE YOUTH OF TO-DAY.

WITH alarming regularity one reads OF gin

The dangers to youth are many; the peris

when good counsel and good example are most
required Some young people will choose the
ways of rashness despite the precepts Of moder-

sympathetically shown them the wholesome
way Hence we find perverted concepts Of
pleasure.
Human nature has not changed Youth il
no worse than it was generation ago. The out

Housecleaning uncovers lots OF
strange things, it seems.
For instance, Mrs. Isadore Plas-
ker discovered the elopement of
her daughter, Ruth, II, when
she found a marriage certifi-
cate under the mattress on
Ruth's bed. 1t was issued at Ga
lena, Md, last January 8 to the
girl and William Goldberg, %.
When Mrs. Plasker recovered
from her surprise, she bestowed
her blessing on her daughter and
went on with the housekeeping.
