STAY IN LANE

The driver of the center car in
the drawing at the right is doing
very foolish thing. Yet every day
many drivers turn left from an out
side traffic lane and trust to their
lucky star to see them safely
through the jam they are causing.
The driver in that middle auto
mobile may cause two collisions.
The man behind him and to his
left is likely to drive headlong in
to the left side of the offending au-
tomobile and possibly kill or dam
gerously injure its driver, while
the approaching car may plunge
into the right side or the front of
the offender.
1t is always an excellent rule to
stay in your own traffic lane. 1t
would be the safe thing for this
driver to go another block down
the street, draw into the inside lane
and then turn left. In that way hi
would be showing not only gooo
sense but good manners-and he
would be lcssening the chance of a
collision.
This is one of the common forms
Of traffic violations. however. Many
persons pull into an outside lane
and rather than go another block,
stick out their hand and switch to
the left in the path of an oncom-
ing vehicle. Sometimes, in fact,
they don't even signal their inten-
ton to turn left.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Feb. "a, GIG A. D.-Ethelbert, King
of Kent, the first Christian ruler in
the West, died at so. We are beholden
to him for the first Anglo-Saxon
code, or written law. Before his day,
the common man had only such rights
as his baron allowed him.
Ethelbert (the given name Albert
comes from him) also is responsible
for the fact that the days of the week
still have their ancient Saxon appella-
tions, derived in each case from
heather deities. When st. Augustine
converted his people to Christianity,
Ethelbert realized that cit is impos-
sible to cut away abruptly from hard
and rough minds all their old habits
and customs. He who wishes to reach
the highest place must rise by steps,
and not by jumps"
One step never taken was to remove
the impress of Odin, Thor, Tuisco,
Saeter and Friga from our calendar.

IT'S TRUE

The first ship destroyed by subma-
rine projectile was a schooner anchor
ed near the British warship Cerebus,
in the harbor of New London, Conn,
in 1777 It was blown up by tor
pedo constructed by David Bushnell
and aimed at the Cerebus. Its course
wasn't true and it hit an American
ship instead.
Some time ago, A. E. Croft, st.
Joseph, Mich, wrote us: America
was founded by the English. The
English walk and drive on the left.
We on the right, why?" I've just
found the answer: The dislike with
which our forefathers regarded all
things British caused them to change
even the rule of the road
Abraham Lincoln was a citizen of
two countries! San Marine made him
an honorary citizen, and he accepted.
An automobile engine wastes 929o
of the fuel. Streamlining autos saves
gas only at dangerous speeds. This
is one of the facts explained by G. c..
Furnas in his remarkable "The Next
Hundred Years" the best book this
writer had read in months. We're go
ing to be quoting from it here inces-
sanity.
There used to be law in New York
making it a Grim for parents to per-
nit children to play on Sundays.

Three Weeks Reducing Diet
Planned on Scientific Basis

lished on one day. it gives the house.
wife ample time to prepare a diet
for the next day or the next day but
one. l have attempted to avoid the
monotony of such q diet as the Eight
cen Day Hollywood Diet, with its
predominance OF grapefruit and
T-bone steak. The diet is complete
and protective in that it includes the
required vitamins and minerals. but
the amounts Of servings taken
should be kept down to minimum.
With some few exceptions. it is the
amount rather than the kind of food
which is important.
A great deal of the success OF
reduction diet consists in the CO.
operation of the entire family 1t is
pretty hard for a person to select
reduction diet from a table that is
designed to supply 5000 calories in
trated form. to the other members
of the family. That is why reduction
in an institution is so much more
successful than reduction at home.
The cooperation Of the family. how
ever, is very important for success.
and in many families this diet would
be beneficial to all members except
very young children.
Another practical secret of success
in reducing is to make the food nalat-
able. Most reduction diets are al
most repulsive. especially to an over
weight who. by the very nature Of
things. has enjoyed indulging himself
in dainty dishes.
DIET FOR MONDAY
Breakfast-Half a grapefruit. cup
Of tea or coffee, without cream or
sugar.
Lunch-An egg. cooked in any way
except fried or as an omlet: med
ium-sized tomato; slice of pineapple;
glass Of buttermilk.

Flow of Tourist
Trade Into State
Is Already Begun

Charlotte. Feb. 24-Pouring down
from the ice-bound north flood OF
tourist trade is inundating the his
toric and picturesque Carolinas in
movement hitherto unrecorded IN the
annals of touring. according to re-
port received at Carolina Motor CLUB
headquarters here from the travel bu-
reau of the Chicago Motor Club.
In explaining the tourist trek into
North and South Carolina, Bert Van
derwarf, manager of the Chicago
Motor Club travel bureau, said:
For the first time in the history
of the automobile, people are in large
numbers beginning to realize that
they have missed much of beauty and
downright grandeur in hurrying from
starting place to destination with on
ly the thought of getting to their OBJ
jective point on scheduled time.
"rhe old order is changing. The
Carolinas have been among the first
of the states to experience the chang
ed psychology of travel. On their way
to Florida, mid-western motorists,
particularly from Chicago and other
parts of Illinois and from Indiana,
are stopping in the mountains and
sandhills of the Carolinas. They are
invading centers such as Tryon, Ashe-
vile, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Cam
den, Aiken, Charleston and other win
ter resorts. They are learning
of them for the first time-that his
tory was written in these friendly
hills; that Francis Marion, Baron De
Kalb, General Greene, and other Re
volutionary War heroes consecrated
the ground with noble deeds"
