ton clubs, and Miss Flora Wake

A BOOK ABOUT THE BIBLE

George w. Stimson, Washington
correspondent and former National
Press Club president, has devoted an
average of seven hours daily during
the past year in writing book an
swering all the controversial ques-
lions about the Bible, including ex-
plarations of tie differences between
the Catholic and Professionals versions
and giving other interesting data.
George Stimson has already pro-
duced four books of great value:
uncommon knowledge, p" Popular
Questions Answered." Nuggets of
Knowledge" and Things Worth
Knowing" When he was Press Club
president it was his privilege as a
Protestant to introduce to the news
papermen of the Capital the present
Pope Plus XII, then Cardinal Pacelli.
This fellow is one of the most popu-
lar correspondents in the National
Capital. He never quarrels with any
one-not even with the Curmudgeon,

CAUTION TO MOTORISTS

"a wet leaf is to the automobile
what a banana peel is to the pedes-
trian," says the Keystone Automo-
bile Club, in a bulletin telling motor
lists not to discount the.danger of au-
tumn's wet leaves.
They're slippery as an. eel and
treacherous as a rattlesnake," says
the Club bulletin, land the wise mo-
torist accords them due respect be
cause of their lethal possibilities. The
driver who thinks TIE annual warn
ings about this danger are joke
may wake up-if he does-in a hos
pital."
keystone explains that the wet leaf
reaches it's highest potential as a
menace to life and limb at the NOM
ent the unwary motroist applies his
brakes. A quick stop on the street
or highway covered with moist leaves
will produce in the automobile much
the same effect as may be noted when
portly person treads unsuspecting-
ly on banana skin. Both vehicles
and pedestrian go out of control,
with consequences dependent upon
whether luck is running good or bad
that day
Tie Clubs advice is to drive eau
tiously over leaf-covered roads and
brake gently.
