RESTFUL DRIVING

With restful driving so important
an item in distance driving, everyone
wants to know how to spend eight OF
ten hours behind the wheel and
emerge from the car with The least
amount of fatigue.
One fairly scientific series of
studies provides an answer, says a
bulletin just issued by the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland. 1t is:
Correct sitting posture"
Those who have conducted expert
ments condemn the practice of
slumping over the wheel. The rest
full method is sitting erect with the
back Of the seat providing support
for the whole spine. The front seat
should be adjusted each time drivers
are changed during the trip. Safety
authorities point out it is unreason-
able to expect five-foot Junior to
drive comfortably and safely in a
seat set for father who is six feet
tall.
Relaxation is held by majority
to be the all-important thing in
fatigueless touring. This point is
definitely related to the speed at
which the trip is made. The intense
concentration upon car operation
called for by high speeds is factor
in fatigue that measures very high
even though many travellers may for
get that fact.
Those who drive regularly have
several tricks that push tiredness
into the background.
A fairly common one is to use the
hand throttle for feeding gasoline on
open stretches of highway, where a
constant speed is entirely safe. II
permits rest from the strain of
constantly pressing down on the &C.
celerator and allows the driver to
change his position-always a help
full thing.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

Mind will be the subject of the
Lesson Sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Aug. 90.
The Golden Text will be from Pisa.
147:5-"Great is our Lord, and of
great power; his understanding is
infinite"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible-I Cor. 1872
LET everyone of us please his
neighbor for his good to edification."
The Lesson-Sermon also will in
clude the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, page
467-"It should be thoroughly un-
derstood that all men have one Mind,
one God and Father, one Life, Truth
and Love. Mankind will become
perfect as this fact becomes appar-
ent, war will cease, and the true
brotherhood of man will be estab-
lished."

Radio "Skip" Control

Engineers of the Bell Telephone
Laboratories have now developed a
transmitter which may be used for
telephone or for continuous wave or
tone-telegraph transmission. With this
transmitter, according to j. B. Bishop,
radio development engineer of the lab
oratories, ten frequencies may be Sc
lected merely by dialing one digit on
q telephone dial.
This apparatus has been developed
for aviation and marine transporta-
ton where it is obviously impossible to
use wires, which have proved so valu-
able to railroads and carriers operat-
ing on land. The requirements of radio
contact in the air or at sea have lacked
much of the dependability of land wire
services, Mr.. Bishop states, but this
lack of satisfactory operation is due
largely to atmospheric disturbances
such as "skip distance" effects. Fortu-
nately, he says, these qualities affect
ing radio transmission, while present
to some degree on nearly all frequen-
cies, do not affect all frequencies alike.
In particular, Mr.. Bishop calls atten-
ton to the distance Of the Skip" and
the amount of interfering atmospheric
noise, which varies not only with time,
but also with frequencies.
If radio circuit were restricted to
the use of a single frequency, accord
ing to Mr.. Bishop, there would be
frequent periods Of time when the
channel would not be commercially u.s.
able, because of noise or other inter-
ference, but with apparatus that will
take advantage of one of several fire.
quencies available with a transmitter
such as has been developed, this objec-
tionable feature may be overcome.
Since some frequencies are freer from
disturbances at one time and others at
another, the choice of frequencies is
merely a matter Of time of day on
season of the year.

ROAD BUILDING M e TIL o ID S
STRIVE TO END DANGER


The first principle of modern road
building is the effort to eliminate the
dangers of motor driving and is con-
stantly changing the method of
building the newer highways.
In accordance with the steady eff
fort on the part of road builders to
make the highways safer for increas-
ing traffic, is the gradual elimination
of head walls or abutments from the
roadsides. Once thought to be SO
necessary, modern engineering has
found them to be extremely hazard
GUS considering the fact that an err
rant automobile is in much less dan
ger of being demolished and causing
loss of life if it plunges off the high
way into a ditch or field than if it
hits heavy concrete sidewall jutting
up along the roadside.
Newer concrete roads are now be-
ing built without the older fashioned
abutments or headwalls and as
quickly and economically as possible,
workmen are tearing down the con-
crete structures built along the older
roads. The work is being done en-
tirely as a safety measure and is ex-
pected to do much in saving both life
and property damage to unfortunate
motorists.

LOCAL DEALER NABS MYSTERY
MAN


Mr.. Arthur Ragan, of the Tydol
Garage, Rising Sun, Maryland, got
the surprise of his life the other day.
A car drove up to get gas and oil.
While this alert dealer was checking
the oil he noticed the worn fan belt
on the car and asked the driver to
buy a new one.
Just when he thought he had sold
a new belt the driver said: "Con-
CALCULATIONS, I'm a Mystery Man.
You win IS BILL"
This dealer had caught one of the
Gates Mystery Men in one of the
most unusual and interesting con-
tests ever sponsored.
The Gates Rubber Company of
Denver, Colorado have whole
squad of Mystery Cars travelling
through the country with bad fan
belts ON their cars. The drivers of
these cars stop at Gates fan belt
dealers along the way. These are
known as Mystery Cars because no
one knows who these men are or
where they are travelling.
Every dealer who notices the worn
out fan belt on a Mystery Car when
he drives up, and tries to sell the
driver a new Gates belt gets a new
IS bill. Thousands of SIS bills will
be given away this year.

LEAVES, BARK, FLOWERS

August is a good month for col
lecting and studying plant life be-
cause many people are on vacation
and coming in daily contact with
new botanical specimens.
| Somewhere in the United States,
perhaps right here on the Eastern
Shore, there are several hobby riding
plant collectors spending every spare
minute trying to find a plant---a
grass or tree that will make the
| dust bowl area of our plains States
live again. Hundreds of others are
collecting specimens TO enjoy the
beauty of color, unusual design and
construction found In plant life.
Flowers, leaves and bark are three
of the nine ways to identify tree or
plant. The hobby rider once started
will in these three find revelations
far beyond his fondest hopes.
There are several recently develop
ed processes for permanently pre-
serving flowers and leaves In their
natural beauty and at the same time
making them easier to handle, study
and display. Any amateur can use
these processes with ease. However,
many collectors will prefer the pres
sing process for its compact adyant-
ages. With very little effort the
collector can go scientific and get
into the numerous branches of bot
any. Take your choice; structure.
anatomy, cytology, physiology, sys-
tematic, photographic, geology
and fossil botany.
At no time In the history of the
world since Carl Linnaeus, the Swed-
ish botanist, wrote his great book
Species Plantarium in 1853, has
there been more interest In plant life
than now, for between droughts and
a real struggle for existence. Lin
neaus classified 100000 plants and
wrote one hundred eighty books as
result of a hobby developed when he
was about thirty-four years old and
practicing medicine at Upsala, the
University town.
August offers hundreds of fine
specimens for your collection. You
can collect one particular plant part
or all including bark which is as in
teresting as the flowers. Who re-
members when boys whitfield all
manner of boats and images from
pink bark?
And summer does not die with the
frost. Hundreds Of enthusiasts
throughout the country are now COL
lecting small plants for making at
tractive miniature winter gardens in
bottles, jugs, and glass boxes made
from old auto window glass. Mrs.
Charles York Of Denton is an expert,
Anna Mae Clevenger of Federals
burg has won several places in
Hobby Fair with her collection of
pressed leaves, flowers and twigs,
Miss Susan Stokes of San Diego.
California, has collection Of $500
western plants.
To those writing this week, this
column will send several sensitive
plant seeds whose leaves Immediate
ly fold up when touched.
Botanical collecting is good
hobby.

YOUR STARS AND NUMBERS
JOHN RANDs

This forecast covers the period
August 21-27 incl Three important
astrological CONGREGATIONS are form
ed during this period. August %:
the planet Venus is conjolhed with
Neptune stressing human relation
ships to the utmost. Idealism and
profound emotional reaction will
mark this period August 25: the
planet Mars is in quadrature aspect
with Uranus. This Is descriptive
and explosive influence charged with
risk, danger, violence-the sudden
and unexpected. August 81: Venus
opposes Saturn. This aspect stresses
relationships between elders and the
young, and forebodes i'll fortune to
young women born about Sept. IL,
especially il contracting older persons
in important ways.
The President of the United States
comes under very trying influences
during the last two weeks of August,
this year. He should avoid all sud
den moves and changes. His public
relationship and dealings with others
may prove extremely difficult during
this period.
The number nine co. and the
letters "I' and "R" will be marked
ly influenced by the stellar rays, at
least on the 25th.
Aug. 21-No z, and letters G-P-Y
stressed today Deal with others
cater to the needs of the many.
Aug. 22-No. 8, and the letters
H OF important in the days vibra-
tions. Also No. and the letters
D-M-V. Careful, however, for the
evening hours are disruptive and
sudden losses are possible.
Aug. 23-The No. 8 dominant.
Names containing prominent az or
"R" heavy with Fate, till 25th. incl.
The evening hours today favor No.
8, and the letters H-Q-Z. Deal with
elders and old matters. Good for
deep study.
Aug. 24-The No. 9 and the let
tiers 81" and "R" still powerfully in
fluenced by the stellar rays. Avoid
sudden moves, shifts or changes.
Careful as to danger Of all kinds.
The evening hours are dangerous and
markedly descriptive.
Aug. 25-Markedly improved.
During the afternoon hours the num-
Der 8 and the letters "I' and "R"
are favored in all that makes for con-
struction and accomplishment. The
No. and the letters B-K-T also fav-
orably influenced.
Aug. 26-An unfavorable day gen.
orally. The Cycle number for the
day is A, the letters D-M-V,-but the
entire day is under adverse stellar
vibrations. Negligence and care
lessness will result in serious loss to-
day. Watch emotions; avoid the line
of least resistance; guard health and
expect no unearned reward this day.
Aug 27-The Nos 6 and and
the letters FOX and H-Q-Z are in
fuenced by stellar rays today. De-
fer to older-wiser council. Accept
delays and restrictions. The young,
especially young women, should give
in to elders today, or avoid forcing
matters if unable to sacrifice.
This period is financially adverse
for all born about September 18th or
December 6, of any year.
Those born about Jan. 80, April
80, July 81, or November 2, of any
year, come under stellar rays which
tend to the sudden, descriptive, ex-
plosive and inflammatory in their
affairs during this period.
