THE PEDDLER NUISANCE

House to house peddlers and solicitors of
orders for this and that are becoming an ever
greater nuisance to the American home, as
any housewife might truthfully testify. Still
the housewife whose home is constantly in
vaded by these itinerant super-salesmen has
the remedy in her own hands.
A timely suggestion along this line is
made by Prof. Conrad, of the New Jersey
Teachers College, who points out that the
peddler who boasts that his firm has no store
is trying to make store out of your home.
You are expected to furnish place where
he may do business free from the expense
which other merchants must pay.
Besides, he insists on making you shop
at his convenience, no matter how much it
may interfere with your daily routine. He
takes up your time arguing you into buying
something that in most cases you neither
want nor need. Sometimes you buy to get
rid of him, when you ought to say:
"This is home, not place of business,
and 1 am not going to allow you to use it as
a store. Good day."
That might seem rather inconsiderate.
But it is one way of discouraging the peddler,
who has not the slightest consideration for
your peace and comfort, but uses your home
as a market place, in unfair competition with
home merchants who pay rent, taxes, license
fees, and in other ways contribute to the well
fare of the community.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CLAIR
ING LIGHTS DUE
Highway Patrol and City Police
Join Forces to Make Night
Driving Safer

Beginning August 8, an inten-
sive headlight testing will be con-
Quoted turnout the State of Mimi.
The State Highway Patrol, which
has been after faulty lights the past
two years, will devote a larger
share of it's effort to glaring lights
during August, and the police of
a number of cities throughout the
state have agreed to put on cam
paigns for better auto lighting the
same month.
The plan for cooperative cam
paign for enforcement of the light
ing provisions of the state traffic
act was suggested to the recent
meeting Of the Minnesota Police
association by Earle Brown, chief
of the highway patrol, and met
with general approval. But al
though an intensive effort to clear
the highways of faulty lights will
be made in August both Mr.. Brown
and members of the police associ-
alton, declared that it should not
be sporadic campaign but con-
tinuous effort.
In cases of seriously deficient
lighting, cars may be impounded
and drivers arrested and fined. In
ordinary cases of badly focused
lights, or one light out, drivers
will be given a ticket requiring
them to have their lights tested
and corrected and file a certi-
ficate within 48 hours showing
that their lights are up to STAN
dard. There is no desire to run
up record of arrests or tickets,
however, and drivers are urged to
have their lights checked at an
official station before they are or
dered to do so
A highway bulletin this week al
so calls attention to the provision
of the state law prohibiting the
sale of any automobile lighting
equipment either separately or as
a part of an automobile, unless 1t
has been tested and approved by
the Highway department. Nearly
all lighting devices now on the
market have been approved, but
since it is also illegal to use un-
approved lighting devices, it is
suggested that persons buying a
car or extra lamps make sure that
they are Of an approved type.
Lists of all approved models have
been sent by the department to
all official headlight testing stat
ions.

THE AUTOGIRO

Aircraft manufacturers have long
dreamed of the time when the general pub
lie would become airminded enough to
create demand for their product compar>
able with the demand for automobiles. But
the conventional type of airplane has not
been developed to a standard of safety and
ease of operation to inspire it's widespread
private use.
The introduction of the revolutionary
autogiro may mark the beginning of new
era in aviation. This windmill plane, with
it's lifting propeller blades above the fuse
lage, makes ascent and descent in limited
space possible. The dangers of forced
landing are practically eliminated, because it
can be set down in an emergency almost any
where, while the regular airplane must have
a considerable level space in which to be
stopped after touching the ground at relative
ly high speed.
Recent tests have demonstrated the
safety of the autogiro but at present the
machine is costly, and until it can be pro-
duced at an attractive price it's use will be
restricted to wealthy devotees of the flying
art.
The skill of American engineers may be
depended upon, however, to gradually bring
the price of the autogiro within the reach of
the average person who wishes to experience
the thrill of flying at minimum of risk.

Not all trunk routes under con-
struction require detours. Detours
are used for 600 miles of trunk
routes, although paving and grad
ing contracts let this year cover
more than 1000 miles of highway.
In many cases construction is on
new location, and traffic continues
over the old trunk highway with
out interruption. Not all the 600
miles Of highway are closed at one
time.
Besides putting the detours in
shape for heavy traffic, there is
the expense Of marking them, as
well as regular maintenance by a
resident sectionman. The detour
expense adds several hundred
dollars to the departments annual
maintenance bill, but Mr.. Babcock
believes this expenditure Is just as
necessary, and brings as much re-
turn per dollar, as money spent for
maintenance on the trunk high
wayS

by bacteria or fungi, but is ply
siological in nature. The explana-
ton of this disease, given by
specialists of the plant pathology
division, and their recommends
tions for it's control are as follows:
In all growing plants, water is
taken through the roots and given
off through the leaves. If the to-
mato plant develops an abundant
leaf surface and gives off water
faster that the roots can supply it,
water is lost from the rapidly
growing fruits, causing them to
turn black and die at the blossom
end. Later these dead spots may be
infected by a fungus, but these
are secondary and are not the
cause.
The disease, of course, is not
carried in the seed and seed treat
ment is of no value; neither can
it be controlled by spraying. The
only recommendation for control
that we can give is to provide the
plants with a uniform supply of
moisture. They should be watered
frequently but not excessively. The
trouble is usually most severe on
light sandy soil inclined to bake
after heavy rains. It is common
ly more prevalent on tomatoes
tied up than on those which lie
on the ground.

SPIRITUALLY BEAUTIFUL
(Slayton Herald)

(Slayton Herald)
Have you ever known an old lady who spir-
itually beautiful? Could you remember what her
features like? Or did you think of her as sort
of beautiful flower of Gods handwork sending
forth love and kindness and compassion of ALL and
every one loving her in turn.
This old lady probably had money to
speak of. though she had thousands of friends and
was continually happy.
You probably knew another old lady who had
all kinds of money and everything that money could
buy to make person happy, yet she was not happy
in the least No glad to her, because
no one became happy because of her. You may not
exactly remember her features but you will never
forget her sharp tongue and how happy you were to
get away from her.
When Jesus gave his sermon on the Mount He
answered the question of how to be happy.
Many of them would not believe, when He ex-
planned to that multitude of people who had come
great distances to learn the of true happiness
that they were all wrong in the common assump-
ton that the acquisition of material things alone
brings happiness.
Matthew, who tells the story, that you are made
happy by what you are, not by what you get. The
key to blessed life lies in your heart It is being
merciful and pure in heart. You must not be
angry you must not be revengeful You must love
everyone, even your enemies.
The golden rule strange plan of life to
most of that multitude who were there from both
sides Of the Sea of Galilee, from Jerusalem far of
to the south and from Tyre and Sidon to the north
It is strange to many people today far actually
living is concerned, but 1t is good plan for happi
ness nevertheless.
The next time you feel discouraged, blue,
unhappy why not go out and do something to make
else little bit happier, for that Is what
you would have them do to you, is it not? Then
you will be surprised how much it will help you to
happiness.

spiritually beautiful"
