Six hundred and twenty motorists,
the largest number deprived of their

six years of the laws operation, felt
the bite during May of the more
stringent enforcement policy adopted
this year by the state department of
highways to protect the predominant
number of safe drivers from the few
who habitually endanger life and prop
erty on the highways.
Drivers licenses of 2SO motorists were
revoked outright during May, 241 of
them for driving while under the in
fluence of liquor; "A revocations were
imposed for driving a motor vehicle
without the owners permission; for
speeding; z others for driving while
under suspension, and 8 for failure to
stop and disclose identity after an &C
cident.
Total revocations, from January / to
May 81, have been 1918, of which 12e
were youths less than 81 years old, and
303 were under 26 years of age.
Motorists whose driving permits were
suspended for periods varying from &c
days to one year totalled $40 during the
same month. Of this number, 1873 lost
their right to drive as a penalty for
excessive speeds: n for reckless driving
and II for disregardng signs and

Automobile mileage in America is
terrific The mileage figurts for 1910
will probably be approximately 300 bill
lion vehicle miles. For 1860, experts
are predicting 500 billion miles. Think
of the traffic problem this will create
twenty years hence.
We must train drivers now. All
schools, at least high schools, should be
prepared to teach young people the art
of safe driving-not just driving. 1t
becomes the responsibility of boards of
education to provide safe driving
courses for high school students so
that they will not be confronted in
years to come with problem that is
entirely unknown to them and so that
they will be entirely familiar with the
correct way to drive.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-06-20

Is there any cure for heaves of
horses?
There is little or no treatment for
heaves of horses. Affected animals may
be given some relief by adding water
to the hay, especially if it is inclined to
be dusty. Sometimes other diseases are
mistaken for heaves, however, so sug-
gest that you have your local veter-
marian examine the horse. BY close
observation he may be able to help you.
w. L. Boyd, veterinary division.
Is there any easy method of removing
the skins from pears?
The method of removing peach skins
by blanching or treatment with I've is
generally used, but no such method is
suggested for pears. Commercial can
ners use a knife with a curved blade
which has a guard to limit the thickness
of the peel-Evelyn G. Chambers, in
structor, home economics division.
I am building new hen house and
would like to know how much floor
space to allow per bird.
You should allow about three square
feet per bird for leghorns and four
square feet for heavy breeds-Cora
Cooke, extension poultry specialist.
What type of cultivation is best fol-
raspberries?
Shallow cultivation is important, es-
pecially while the fruit is developing
A good cultivator should be capable OF
wedding out excess sucker plants in the
row and many growers use duckfoot
sweeps for this purpose. Sometimes a
cultivator with five sweeps is used, OF
half duckfoot sweep may be used on
each side with two narrow shovelS in
front and full duckfoot sweep in the
rear. A double disk, cut down to fit
the rows, may be used early in the
season. Soil type and plant vigor in
fluence the type that should be used
j. D. Winter, division of horticulture
What causes paint to wrinkle?
Wrinkling results when paint is ap-
piled too thickly. The surface skin
dries quickly with the portion under
meath still damp When it dries, the
surface will wrinkle To avoid this

Little Children

Little children, come unto me
Said the Lord long ago,
For He knew they could be made
to see
1t was useless, wild oats to sow.
Parents, children at an early age
Should be taught the divine pre-
cepts,
For, if neglected, the old adage
Says they'll be caught in the
devils nets.
Jesus knew children were suscep-
tible
To receive the divine commands,
For their little minds are adapt
able
To all divine Loves plans.
Children are so meek-like,
Just like little lambs;
You can, at the proper time, strike
Religious thoughts their mind
understands.
Jesus gave all His love and COM
passion
For child's innocent thought;
For like young trees that need at
tention,
They can be saved when early
sought.
Children who have accepted God
Should feel mighty proud;
For they soon realize His sustain
ing rod
Gives moral strength to say
"No" out loud.
Happy will your life be,
And your reward truly great;
For you listened to an early plea
To accept Him before it was too
late.
