Anent English Traffic.

The English slant on traffic condi-
tions is given in Public Safety, a
pamphlet published by the National
Safety Council by H. Walker Tripp,
assistant commissioner Of metropolitan
police, London. Mr.. Tripp comments,
in part, as follows:
1T is not so much out and out bad
driving as incautious driving that &C
counts for the majority of the casual
ties on our highways. The accidents
are caused by inattention on the part
of thousands and thousands of drivers.
What is wanted, in order to bring down
the casualties, is not spectacular cap
lures by the police of so-called "reck-
less drivers" but an all-round improve
ment of standards and habits OF driv-
ing.
TT has been said that the public
conscience must be aroused to see that
the reckless motor driver is suppressed.
That sentiment will be cheered to the
echo at any assembly of motorists all
of whom regard the reckless driver as
some separate wicked animal that can
be recognized, isolated and dealt with.
But they do not see themselves in the
character.

REAR AUTO ENGINE
|SPRED|CTEDSOON
Ultimate in Stream|ining Is
Seen by Detroit
Engineer.
Special Dispatch to The Star,


DETROIT, January 21.-The depar-
lures made by automobile manufactur-
ers in the direction of greater stream
lining effects have served once more to
revive public interest in radical changes
in body design.
Special exhibits at the 1898 automo-
bile shows have revealed what can be
done toward the "tear-drop" car. The
throngS that turned their eyes toward
these displays have convinced both en-
gineers and manufacturers that the mo-
tor public gradually is whetting its ap-
petite for something new in automo-
bile appearance.
Timidity Held Cause.
What is holding back innovations In
design? The answer Is timidity. The
engineers who are in q position to die
tate the trend in the construction Of
your automobile and mine are not sure
just how the public will receive the
radical changes they might offer.
With the ''tear-drop" car, which Is
the ultimate in streamlining, must come
an engine adapted for the rear Of the
car
Every engineer knows that the en-
gine ought to be at the rear" says Wal
ter T. Fishleigh, Detroit engineer, but
not one of them has devised a way to
get it there without the public discover
ing it and therefore worrying about it.
Every engineer knows that tremendous
advantages will come from full stream
lined, or so-called 'tear-drop' automo-
biles, but not one of them has devised
a chart or graph which will predict
how Dame Fashion will receive the first
full streamlined, engine-at-the-rear
models"
Mr.. Fishleigh has given as much
attention as any one in the industry
to the possibilities of the "tear-drop"
car-that vehicle which would have
some of the appearance Of an army
tank. yet move along with the swift
grace of bird. Mr.. Fishleigh believes,
of course, that the obstacles In the way
of the full streamlined car will be over
come
Whether the graceful curves with
which the car of the future will point
its way into the wind come in q series
of gradual changes or in one or two
radical steps will make little difference
in the ultimate result, In the opinion
of Mr Fishleigh. They will prevail. he
maintains, because of the tremendous
improvements possible, not only in air
resistance and fuel economy. but also
in riding comfort, clear vision, beauty
and grace"
Tunnel Tests Made.
Mr. Fishleigh has developed and
tested in an aerodynamic tunnel, quar-
ter size models of a rear-engined, full
streamlined car, in which an attempt
was made to incorporate beauty Of line
and attractive general appearance. The
air resistance was only 40 per cent OF
that encountered by conventional Sc
dan at all speeds from so to 80 miles
an hour.
I'm terms of fuel economy, allowing
for rolling resistance in addition to
wind resistance" Mr.. Fishleigh ex-
planned, this means that this tear
drop model would run twice as far
on gallon of gasoline as conven-
tional flve-passenger sedan. Putting 1t
another way, if the two cars were
driven together over the same route
at ordinary touring speeds, it would
cost so cents for fuel for the tear
drop car every time that it cost dol
lar for the conventional sedan"

OFFICE BOY AT 157
FARO Agha Receivers City Hall Job
in Istanbul.

ISTANBUL R.-Zaro Agha IS keen
er now about his old job of Office boy
at the Istanbul City Hall than about
telling the world that he is 157 years

Zaro was worried when he returned
from America and England to find he
was out of a job. The city fathers said
he'd grown too deaf to be good office
boy and anyhow they were retrenching.
Faro, however, kept after his ex-
bosses until they reinstated him.
He again is happy possessor of brass

False RumorS.

Life Is full of rumors and so Is the
automotive industry. Many are false
and no one knows from where these
untruths come. A particular story,
which this column at once will label
far from the truth, came to light the
other day 1t had to do with the
manufacturer of a certain make of car
giving an order that his product would
be so put out that it would require a
repair bill of at least $500 the first
year.
How any one could believe such a
yarn seems unthinkabie. In the first
place how could such a thing be &C
complished? Most shops, if not all,
guarantee their cars against any un-
reasonable breaking down for II
months. Then, just what benefit would
the manufacturer accrue after the first
year? He would probably be unable
to sell very many cars after such q
record. Oh, well, it takes all kinds Of
people to make up the world, including
tellers of such stories.

n YEXT Saturday Washington will
M catch its first concentrated
VI glimpse of the automobiles OF
1 Y 1888. Approximately az various
makes, including 125 models,
will be on exhibition at the Auditorium.
The show, staged under the auspices OF
the washington Automotive Trade As
ISOLATION, will run through February S,
one day longer than heretofore.
Well Worth Seeing.
From all accounts it will be well
worth seeing. Although the changes in
body designs do not differ radically
from last year, new refinements and in
novations have come in. Very likely
two or three trips to the show will be
necessary to take everything in. Busi-
ness is scheduled for an upward trend
this year and many industrialists pre-
die that the automotive industry will
les the way 1t will be good way,
for there is plenty of speed and de-
pendability in the new cars.
Reports from other cities where the
show has been held are filled with glow
ing accounts. Optimism seemingly pre-
walls everywhere. Record crowds have
been noted, and, what Is more important
to the hard-working dealers, many
sales have been consummated. Here's
hoping for success in the National
Capital.

LIGHTNING BURNS
FINLAYSON BARN
Storm of Last Thursday Night Cen.
tered Southeast of F1nlay.
son Village.

Lightning, during a severe storm
just before nine o'clock last Thurs
day evening, caused the destruction
of the barn, machine shed and ga
rage on the Don Bishop place called
Birch Grove farm" about four miles
southeast of Finlayson. The storm
seemed to center near there as three
bolts struck within two miles, but
only one caused serious damage. The
bolt struck the southeast corner of
the barn where the water storage tank
was located and within a very short
time the entire building was burned.
No stock was in the barn but two
loads of hay had been placed in the
day before and a new hay rope in
stalled which with the separator and
harness were destroyed. The wind
blew the burning brands over the
house for time, but shifted in time
to avoid igniting it. Neighbors who
had come to help were on the roof
to check any fire which might start.
Mrs. Bishop and family were at
the band concert in Sandstone and
didn't get home until the barn had
fallen. Her brother, Almy Smith, an
invalid, was home alone, but neigh
bors carried him to the car of his
father, Andy Smith, who lives on the
next farm and who was there helping.
The lower part of the house had been
cleared of furniture but when the wind
changed and it began to rain, men
carried it back again. Beside the loss
of the building, its equipment, and a
bob sled, several cords of wood were
burned which were ricked in the ga
rage and in piles near the buildings.
This disaster is felt keenly by the
family and Mr.. Bishop, who is in a
sanatorium near Walker. Both build
ings and personal property are partly
insured.

ADVISES STICKING
GOOD OLD DOBBIN

A fair sized crowd gathered at Stur-
geon lake Sunday afternoon to enjoy
the cool breezes and the picnic spon-
sored by the county unit of the Ma
tional Farmers Holiday Association.
w. A. Dunbar of Cambridge, Isanti
county chairman, and vice chairman
of the state organization, was the
principal speaker and dwelt on the
work OF the association, bringing out
that what the farmers are mainly
working for is cost of production.
He said that farmers as a general
rule should not be much interested
in tractors. Unlike horses tractors
do not consume the products of these
regions. Oil and gasoline must be
shipped in and when worn out the
machines are gone. Not so with a
horse. Its motive power is raised on
the farm where it does the work,
requiring no outside transportation.
And starting out with several horses,
after they are worn out and dead,
there is new supply, perhaps even
more horses after five to ten years,
without the necessity of buying new
stock.
The farmers with their families
who picnicked at the Lakeside beach
appreciated the hospitality of the
owner, Joseph Selenski, and words to
that effect were pronounced by John
S. Percy of Pine township, chairman
OF the county organization.

June Was Hot Month
Said Therm Ometer

In this age of record setting
when one reads of home run rec
ords being broken, speed records
being shattered, ETC., it is found
that old man weather has decided
to take a hand and in his greatest
effort handed the people in Mime
sofa a June that they will long re-
member from a heat standpoint.
An all-time heat record was es-
tablished it is certain, since it is
seen that M. r. Hovde, government
meteorologist of ST. Paul, predicted
last week that there was a posi-
bility that a new record for num-
Der of 90-degree days might be set.
In. the first three weeks, Mr..
Hovde revealed, heat waves had
piled up an excess of 213 de-
grees of temperature over the aver
age mean temperature for the
month. This means, he explained,
that the days have averaged 10 de-
grees hotter than normal and only
unusually cold weather could pre-
vent a record. No cold weather
came after Mr.. Hovde made his as
sertion, so therefore, a record, must
have been established. The great
est excess of heat ever recorded
for the month of June previously
was in 1921, when the excess for
the full month was $50 degrees
above normal. During the first
three weeks of the month there
were ~ days with the temperature
80 degrees or above for the max
imum reading. The greatest num-
Der recorded in the 60 years of OBJ
servations is IA days, set in 1910.
The next highest was 8 days of 80
or more, while the average year
brings but two days of 80 degrees
or more maximum register.
At any rate the slang phrase,
mot so hot" won't be appropriate
in talking of the month which just
made it's exit from the calendar
to the waste paper basket.

SANDSTONE LAD is
STRUCK BY AN AUTO

While walking on the road at
Grindstone lake west of Sandstone on
July 4, Jimmie, ten year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Constantine, pro-
prietors' of Medals Cafe in Sandstone,
had a very narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury and possible death when a
car driven by one of the Fourth of
July celebrators at the lake, struck
him. The automobile which, accord
ing to reports, was travelling at con-
siderable speed came so close to hit
ting the boy directly that the hub cap
struck one of his legs at the knee
joint throwing him to the ground. One
of the back wheels of the car passed
over his foot but fortunately no bones
were broken.
The lad was rushed to a doctor in
Sandstone where he received medical
attention for the wounds which will
leave him no worse for the expert
ence.

AUTOS TANCLE
ON PAVEMENT
Accident Near Sandstone
Sunday Causes Injury,
Shakeup to Five.
Mikkola, Finlayson, Suffers
Most; Postmaster Houde,
Rutledge, Cut on Head.

An automobile accident occurred
on the pavement, III miles north
of Sandstone, about s O'Clock Sunday
evening involving four Pine county
people, causing serious injury to one
man, cuts and bruises to two men
and severe shake-up and bruises to
two women.
Fred Mikkola and Sanford Jatkola
of Finlayson, were driving south in a
Chevrolet coach, with the former at
the wheel, and when they were pas
sing a Pontiac car driven by Post
master Chas. Houde of Rutledge, &C
companied by Mrs. Houde, and Mrs.
Daley of Cloquet, who was visiting
at Rutledge, the smashup took place.
In passing, the Mikkola car either
touched the bumper of the Houde
car or after passing the brakes were
applied and the car swerved with the
result that there was a mixup, the
Mikkola car rolling over several
times and the two men being thrown
clear of the machine. Mikkola landed
on his neck and back and was rem
dered unconscious. He regained con-
seriousness several hours later but the
extent of his injuries are not yet
definitely determined. Jatkola suf-
fered a broken rib, bruised on both
knees and was cut somewhat by glass.
Strangely, the one who appears to be
hurt the most, Mikkola, was not cut
by glass.
Postmaster Houde was cut on top
of the head, necessitating three
stitches. Mrs. Houde and Mrs. Daley
were bruised considerably but not
cut. They have been confined to their
beds since, due to the severe shake
up. All three occupants of the Houde
car remained in it, though the car was
badly damaged. The Mikkola car was
wrecked worse.
Mrs. D. L. Samuelson, the butchers
wife of Finlayson, accompanied by a
child, was also driving south on the
pavement and happened along just
after the accident. She helped the
injured to the office of DR.. H. P.
Dredge in Sandstone, as did other
passersby.
Mr.. Mikkola was removed to a room
in the Hotel Madison after being
given attention at the doctors office.
He received severe jolt and is still
unable to get up, being very sore all
over the body.
The gasoline poured out of the
Houde car just after the accident but
fortunately was not ignited.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDVOLD

With the economic world confer
ence in London as a background
Great Britain and Russia have agreed
that their trade relations be resumed
Some months ago, it will be re-
called, six British engineers, working
in Russia, were arrested by the Soviet
authorities on a charge of sabotage
and espionage; one was acquitted, five
were found guilty, three of them hav-
ing their sentences committed to de-
portation, two others-William H
Thornton and William Macdonald
being incarcerated for, respectively
three and two years.
Indignation ran high in England
and the British government reacted
to the sentences by placing an en-
barge on all Russian products; moth
ing Russian could be imported to
Great Britain. Promptly, Russia re-
taliated by placing an equally effec-
tive embargo on all British imports.
In both cases, the obvious result
was a heavy loss, felt especially keen
ly by the British merchants.
Conversations.
For some time there has been a
good deal of talk about the possibility
of the United States recognizing the
Soviet government; recognition would
of course, cause an immediate Rus
sian-American trade expansion, from
which the United States might profit
m which ohoh n
make England feel-no, not necessar-
lily envious, but, let's say, uncomfort-
able.
In London it had been noticed that
Maxim Litvinov, foreign minister OF
Russia, was seen much in the COM
pany of Cordell Hull, secretary OF
state of the United States. Quite OBJ
viously, there would be only two
topics these gentlemen might discuss
viz, American recognition of Russia,
and the possibility of arriving at
trade agreements.
Quickly sensing this-quickly re-
alizing that a Russo-American trade
agreement might become a menace to
British commerce, Sir John Simon
British foreign minister, began con-
verSations with Litvinov.
And the other day the result OF
these little confidential talks ap-
peared in the form of official British
and Russian statements to the effect
that Thornton and Macdonald had
been released from prison and would

STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS

Since the regular schedule of the
Pine County Baseball League will
swing into its last contest the COM
ing Sunday with the exception of per-
haps a game here and there which
was postponed earlier in the season
it would appear that the four high
teams in the southern division will
be Sandstone, Greeley, Pine City and
Brook Park. In the northern it is
likewise apparent that Sturgeon Lake,
Carlton, Moose Lake and Willow
River will top the list.
The schedule has contained ten
games for each team and according
to plans announced at the start of the
season the four high teams in each
division will play a series of games
to decide the championship of the
entire League.
Sturgeon Lake won its ninth game,
out of as many starts, Sunday against
the N. P. S. Club Fl to 3; Carlton
beat Finlayson 10 to 5; Sandstone de-
feated Greeley IL to 5; Brook Park

DEATH CALLS
EARLY SETTLER
Successful Sandstone Farmer. Who
Formerly Worked in Quarry, is
Laid to Rest.

Nick Kanis, one of the early settlers
of the Sandstone community, passed
away at his farm home northwest of
that village Saturday morning, after
having been in poor health for the
past three years
Mr.. Kanis was born in Netherlands
i'm 1865 and at the age of 10 came to
the United States where he settled in
Iowa. After residing in the tall corn
state for about ten years he came to
Sandstone where he worked in the
quarry for several years. In 1905 he
purchased 80 acres of land from
which he developed a fine farm home.
He was married to Miss Mary Work, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Work,
on September 4, 1901, and to their
union were born six children, three
dying in infancy. The surviving ones
are, Albert Kanis of Milwaukee, Wis;
Mrs. Della Legacy of Duluth, and Will
liam at home. Mrs. Kanis preceded
her husband in death several years
ago.
Mr. Kanis was recognized as a good
dairyman and farmer and. seemed to
do we'll under all conditions, leaving
his heirs not only fine farm but in
comfortable circumstances.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the Congregational church
with the Rev. John A. Hughes offici
ating. Arthur Martin sang two beau
tiful hymns, accompanied by his wife
on the pipe organ. The floral Offer
ings were beautiful and denoted the
held. The body was laid to rest be-
side that of his wife in Spring Park
cemetery at Sandstone.
A host of friends are sad in the loss
of good citizen and friend.

Pine COUNTY
IS ACCREDITED
Very Small Percentage of
T. B. Infected Cattle
Was Found.
New Regulations on Cattle
Importation are Being
Posted.

Pine county is now officially des-
ignated as a modified accredited
tuberculosis-free area since the coun-
ty-wide test, which has been under
way during the past few weeks. has
been completed. This places the
county on a par in this respect to all
the tributary counties and to the en-
tire state of Wisconsin. The memo
randum of agreement from the State
Livestock Sanitary Board designating
Pine county as an accredited area is
good for a period of three years and
became effective beginning July 1,
1888. The requirements for the i'm
portation of cattle have been some
what changed and new cards contain
ing the new regulations are now being
posted.
The summary prepared by the Live
stock Sanitary Board from study
of the reports of the individual vet
erinarians employed in the test of all
the cattle from June 4 to June IS,
discloses that 1881 herds containing
57,725 cattle were tested and only 81
head gave positive reactions to the
tuberculin test and were officially
condemned. Thus the percentage of
infection disclosed was 0.16 or less
than five tenths of one per cent.
A letter from Charles E. Cotton,
secretary of the Livestock Sanitary
Board, to County Auditor Andrew P.
Edin, states that since it has now
been accredited, there will be no
more expense to Pine county for the
cost of tuberculin testing in the fu-
ture.
1t is a source of satisfaction to the
dairy herd owners in the county that
they are now free of any expense
concerning the testing of their cattle
for tuberculosis and espec tally
through the fact that the testing was
done at the small cost of $4,000 to
Pine county, plus cost of transporting
veterinarians. Heretofore herd own
ers who desired the test were forced
to have it done at their own expense
