Yellow Line on Your Side
of Rood Means No Pussinq

1t was announced today by Mr. E.
r. Mccullough, Division Engineer, for
Division No, II of the State Highway
Department that 1916 miles of yellow
line had been marked on the high
ways in this division at seven hundred
and twelve locations.
The Highway Department with
Colonel Robert S. Beightler, Director
decided on the use Of the yellow line
on all hilltops and curves with clear
road vision of less than six hundred
feet, and three hundred foot applica-
tion at the approach of road inter-
sections.
These yellow lines are put down for
the protection of the 100000 car
owners and should be observed to save
your property and yourself and others
from getting injured or killed.
A wise motorist will not cross that
yellow line when it is on his side of
the white or black center line.
This yellow line is part of the life
saving plans of The All-Ohio Traffic
Safety contest which has the hearty
approval of Governor John w. Bricker
and Mayors Of one hundred per cent
of the cities and villages of Ohio
which are eligible to compete.
These lines are being put down
wherever danger turks and it cannot
be too strongly urged that everyone
should protect themselves by a strict
observance of this yellow line.

"SHRINKAGE" :
RULES :

When | was a machinist apprentice
my chum was an apprentice in the pat
tern shop. Sometimes | ate my lunch
with him, and, as | sat on his work.
bench and listened to the secrets" Of
his trade, learned some very inter-
esting facts. One thing that strongly
impressed me was his set of Shrink
age" rules. | discovered for the first
time, that the wooden pattern was
made larger than the casting was in
tended to be, because of the shrink
age in the cooling metal.
For cast iron the pattern makers
rule was an eighth Of an inch longer
than the standard foot; for brass,
three sixteenths; and for steel, one
quarter of an inch although these in
creased measurements per foot were
equally divided between each fraction
of every inch. The effect was that the
three rules looked exactly like stand
ard rule until they were placed along
side standard rule. But so our ideals
always suffer in the work of embodi-
ment.
Beethoven said that his beautiful
Symphony is but an empty echo Of
the heavenly music he heard in his
dream. 1t lost its divinest charm when
he transferred it to manuscript The
dreamer has an important place in the
worlds work for every machine and
every great enterprise was dreamed
out before it was worked out. Some
times the dreamer" and the "work-
er" are personifed in the same man.
But it often happens that the worker
becomes contemptuous Of the dreamer
who has spent years of nights think
ing through the vision that came to
him on the first of these nights when
his idea or his ideal flashed across his
mind
The intensely practical man-that
| ''hardheaded" fellow-needs to learn
that before he can get on the job, he
must wait until the dreamers have
told their dreams. For without these
visions there would be no jobs for any
one.
| That pattern makers rule taught me
that ii my life was to square itself
with the plans laid out for me by the
Creator so that it would harmonic and
| fit in with other worthy lives and
plans, my ideals as to what | would
be and do, must be higher and better
than the average, for these ideals
would suffer previously when trans
muted into practical, everyday living.
If my ideals were no higher than the
life Of the average man about me, as
saw it, i would be less than an or
dinary man, for his ideals were doubt
less higher than the life he was liv-
ing.
1t is probably impossible for most
of US to measure up to the best that
has come to US in our vision but if we
were even one-half as good as we
might be, we would be twice as good
as we are. This means that we are
functioning only about twenty-five
per cent of our capacity, because the
fire of our zeal has slowed down-like
cooling casting-and this is too
much "shrinkage."

MYTH EXPLODED
No Reason For Labor Coins
To Be Scrdpped To
Aid Defense

Washington, D. C.-American labor
can learn vital lessons from the war
time experiences of French and Brit
ish workers, according to the new
August issue of the American Fedora
zionist, official organ Of the American
Federation of Labor.
Exploding the myth that American
labor standards must be junked as an
obstacle to defense preparations, the
leading article in the magazine de-
clares there is no parallel between leg
islation safeguarding working stand
ards in this country and the labor
laws which some writer's say were
partly responsible for the defeat Of
France. The French laws were rigid
and arbitrary whereas the Wage-Hou
Act in the United States is flexible
and does not prevent longer hours
than the maximum, providing over
time is paid. Moreover, longer hours
sap efficiency, the article says, quot
ing a general order of the United
States Army issued during the last
World War showing that the output
Of workers on ten-hour day "will be
the same, or even less, than it was
during the shorter (eight-hour) day"
Another article by Robert j. Watt,
International Representative of the
American Federation Of Labor, points
out that democracy has been safe
guarded in England despite the war
emergency because labor has been
given full representation in the ad-
ministration of Government affairs.
Workers have willingly agreed to the
suspension of former rights and priv
ileges because Of their patriotism and
because they are assured of protec-
ton by their participation in the Gov
ernment, Mr.. Watt says.
In an editorial, President William
Green replies with an emphatic "No'
to unfounded reports Of labor short
ages. He cites the conclusive fact
that there are still almost ten mil
lion unemployed in the country and
that large percentage of these are
skilled and semi-skilled workers who
can be employed in defense industries
A summary of the records of the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for President, together with the
labor planks of both party platforms
is presented in the magazine for the
information of the five million mem
bers Of the American Federation OF
Labor, in conformity with it's non,
partisan political policy.

GOAT CHAMPION SOUNDS OFF

Amherst, Mass.-Take it from VIII
lis H. Hoyt of the Norfolk Agricul-

ACCIDENTS WILL
HAPPEN
REBECCA VENABLE

The day war warm and the drug
store was crowded with ice cream soda
Slippers clustered about every table and
along the counter. A little girl and
her mother came in, smiling, at
tractive pair-the woman smartly
dressed and the child immaculate in a
white frock. They found two vacant
places and the little girl wriggled into
hers with pleased excitement. They
ordered chocolate ice cream sodas.
The two tall glasses came, frosted
with cold. The little girl sat up very
tall to reach above the rim and was
eating the bubbly brown foam off the
top when suddenly, and accidentally of
course, she overturned the nearly full
glass. A chocolate flood of soda and
ice cream overfowed the table top and
the white dress and made chocolate
lake with a round ice cream island on
the floor.
"Ohw gasped the child and looked
wide-eyed and stricken at her mother.
Everybody sat speechless and waited
for a scolding to deluge the Mortified
little person.
But it didn't. If the mother was dis
mayed, she didn't show it. She wasn't
cross, and she didn't yank or lecture
her embarrassed small daughter You
could see the little girl relax as she
caught her mothers reassuring smile.
She smiled back and sat very still
while the woman quickly checked the
dripping liquid before they moved to
another table. The clerk arrived with
towels and a mop, and this was follow
ed by another glass of soda, and the
treat was resumed with no more ado
than that The child carefully began
on the fresh glass, and the two went
on smiling and talking together COM
panionably.
AS a mothers act it was superb.
And it is pretty safe prediction that
a grateful little girl will be much more
cautious with chocolate sodas from
now on than if she had been humiliated
with the reproof that usually accom-
panies such occurrences.
Don't you admire a woman like
that ?" approved my friend as we
finished our own sodas. "That little
girl" she reflected, twill never be
afraid of her mother because she
knows she'll never be scolded unjust
ly."
Later l met the woman socially and
spoke OF the incident.
"Why," she said simply, "it never
occurred to me to scold Margaret. She
didn't mean to spill the soda. I've al
ways had a feeling of resentment on
seeing children jerked around and en-
barrassed in public on account of acci-
dents. | try to treat Margaret with
as much consideration as l like to re-
ceive" Then, smiling little, "I'm
pretty proud of the way she comes
to me and tells me things confidential
ly." And then more seriously, "She
knows she can trust me not to scold
or laugh at her or betray her to any
one afterward. l think there's moth
ing a child resents as much as to have
a confidence come boomeranging back
in public to everyone's adjustment but
hers. Don't you?"
"Yes," | answered.

award for an increase of 80 cents per

side, and so cents per shift or So per
week on the night side. Since the ma
jority of the pressmen are employed
on the night side, the award repre-

award is retroactive to January 90

making Christmas presents for
their parents. Both the morning
and afternoon groups will have a
joint Christmas party on Friday,
December 20, at one o'clock. The
program will consist of the songs
learned in our regular daily work
and perhaps a few individual num-
bers; since attendance has been
very irregular this month, entirely
new material for the program could
not be worked up satisfactorily.
Santa Claus will make us a visit;
he has already sent Mr.. Olson word
he will be on hand in the kinder
garten room. The morning group
will meet as usual on Friday
morning, the day of the party. We
have always had a limited number
of guests at our Christmas parties.
IF you have any little folks not
attending school who you think
would enjoy our party, we would
be happy to have them come. How
ever in order for Santa to be pre-
pared for more boys and girls
than are enrolled in the kinder

on Monday, January 6, 1911.
The first grade have their Christ
mas tree decorated and have fin
ished the gifts they were making
for their parents. They plan on
having a Christmas party before
which they will draw names and
give each other gifts. Marilyn
Lovil, Bernard Doege and David
Daniels have their drawings Of tin
soldiers on the bulletin board this
week; they also had the best art
work. The children are enthusiastic
about buying Christmas seals fol
the help Of tuberculosis. So far the
most brought was from Carl Smith
who brought thirty pennies fol-
these seals. Miss Harris's room has
a pretty Christmas tree with angel
hair, tinsel, bright colored balls
and cut out toy animals that the
children made. They are eagerly
looking forward to their Christmas
party.
The third grade has started to
study the different customs in 9th
err lands. While we're on the subject
of books, the children have kept
a record Of the books they have
read. Jerry O'Gara has read the
largest number of books in the
room. His record is ten books in
two weeks. At the end of the year
the one that has the most books
read will receive a prize. Because
Of so much illness, the children have
written home letters telling their
mothers to put them to bed when
they have a cold. One day there was

graders are getting their aprons
done. Most of them are attaching
belts, and sewing side seams
French seams are the ones they're
making this week. I shouldn't
wonder If some Of them weren't
beginning to use a bit Of French
themselves.

The third and fourth grade drew
pictures of animals in jungles and

most interesting pictures, a zebra,
two giraffes and an elephant, were
illustrated on the blackboard.
At last! The fourth grade has fin
ally won the library banner. More
than eighty percent of the children
have been reading books. Some of
the books contain mystery stories,
like those with lots of ghosts to set
your nerves on end. Mighty thrill
ing to read they must admit. They
have been making plans for their
Christmas party. They hope there
will be better attendance next
week so that everyone may attend

been absent this week because OF
colds. They are hoping that those
ill will soon be able to return to

Christmas chimes to school for us
to see and hear. Miss Sather read

the beautiful decorations. The
pupils have made a sand table pro-
