It is un- usual for a halving pigepn to return home more than one .hundred miles unless trained, but this bird, known as "Triangle 37-N25549" made a fight of more than 1,000 miles.

Water Does Not Tempt Drinkers A pump at Dublin that has been years on the property of M. J. Klink - hammer, is now bringing forth water decidedly contrary to its usual cus- tom. Various- tests show the water 'to be from one-half to three-fourths greenish -gasoline. It seems there is a gas tank operated across the street but the manger there certifies that a test has been taken by. means of a pressure gauge showing there is posi- tively no leak there. Where the gaso- line in the well is corning from still remains a question.—Mitchell Advo- cate.

P McEvpy, Says in Letter. J. 1'. McEyoy, noted satttliist, novel- ist, ,and feature' writer, recently wrote a book called "Father Meets Son," Antall-shed by J. B. Lippi cott Co„ int which a modern father, patterned af. ter• the. famed Lord Chestetfteld, wrote a series of 'letters to his son who had just -entered the business world after a rather heotle college career. ' The letters discussed every aspect of the young m'an's future life ,---questions of employment, marriage, social responsibilities, and so on. On one occasion the lad; who was 'working at the time -as a private chauffeur, took his 'employer's car out one night without petmisson and. "wrapped it around a lamp post." 1!.atber McEvoy, when he heard about the accident, sat down and wrote his son a letter containing a great"' deal of food. fo'r thought which should be thoroughly digested by ev- eryone who drives a car. Here is what he wrote: DEAR SON: You used up a lot of paper explaining how the accident was not your fault, and I can believe you. But you are going to continue to drive cars, and a few words on the subject won't do ally harm. In the 25 years that I have been driving automobiles, I have never met anyone who had an accident through his own fault,, it was always the car, the road, or the Ot'h,er Fellow. Mostly, the Other Fellow. This Other Fellow is worth some study. There seems to be no escap- ing him. To look at him, you would think he was 'harmless,• but last year he killed a great many people, and injured many, many more. • I have seen Ute Other Fellow, and certainly he doesn't look like a killer. Some- times he is a young, nice• -looking kid )idea you. Sometimes he, is a mild - looking, middle-aged fellow like me. Sometimes he is a • gentle sweet lit- tle woman like your mother, but that only goes t'o show you can't judge by appearances. He's, a killer, and no. mistake, and solilething is going to be done; about it—or is it? Someetime ago, the champion safe- ty. driver of one of the largest bus companies in the. world was given a banquet and a medal. He had com- pleted half a million miles without an accident. Wheih they called on him for a speech, he rose and said: "I ain't much of a hand at making speeches. I suppose you want to know how I got away so long' with- out an ' accident? I just got one rule. I drive like the other fellow is crazy." So that seems to explain it. ..The Other Fellow is crazy. If you cut out of line on a two-lane road, don't expect him to let you push him into the ditch, so you can cut. in, again. If you. par's a car 011 a blind' curve, don't expect the fellow coming the ether way to be sensible about it and go off the road and cut into the field to let you by. He's just crazy enough to run right into you because you are on his side of the road:' If you speed through, a main intersection, you will meet a lot of people who are crazy enough t9 think they have the right of way just because they are on a through street and you are com- ing in off a side street. If you like to pass on a hill, don't be surprised if a car comes over the crest and the driver doesn't leap over you or run under you. That would be the sane thing to do, of- course—but you see} tie's crazy. Yes, he's crazy, but .,you are rude— and that's what makes him crazy. It doesn't matter so much if you are walking down the street and you are rude enough to push someone aside, but if you are rude enough to push. him aside with a three -tone automo- bile going 60 miles an hour, you'll kill ,bila. You can elbow your way through a crowd, if you are that im- polite, and do no damage at all. But when you elbow your way through traffic with your bad manners step- ped up to a 'hundred boreepower, you're bound to do a lot of damage to a lot of innocent people. For every accident caused by high speeding, there are a thousand' caus- ed by low breeding. Is it coincidence that the continent which leads in fatalities lags in formalities? We may not be the most uncivil people on two feet, but we certainly are the prize terrors on four wheels. My boy, you may think it is sissy to be po- lite, but a kiss on a warm cheek is worth two on a cold brow. Today we put a premmium on. agility rather than civility. Each year our manners become cruder a:s our gaso- line becomes more refined. Wide roads won't prevent accidents, so long as they continue to fill up with narrow people. Good brakes on cars are no protection against bad breaks in behavior. The growing problem, of automobile fatalities will not be solv- ed around the drafting board but around the family table. Then we can have a monster under the hood, because there will be a gentleman at the wheel. Affectionately,, DAD. EKI,Y PRO ZRAM H.'G "Hyo ',ri.daf. Aug, 0.4040'a, t,f *SO tI'lu AMY; 11?
