L Why the
otor 1ais
cre
Because Automobile Driving is
Largely Anarchy
(By Wm. L. Cheney, in Collier's) I
Last year jus e one passenger in
Great Britaineevas killed in a railroad
accident, With one billion seven hun-
dred million separate train rides and
a vastly cm
pplicated •rietwork of rail- ;
;
roads, this is a superlative achieve-
rn ent.
In thee country during the same 12
months 23,800 people were seriously,
iniured in street and highway acci-
dents. This, too, is a superlative I
achievement, even thought it is noth-
ing to boast about.
The dommittee Which presented
these facts to Seeretary Hoover re-
presents automobile manufacturers,
ineurance companies and other groups
specially interested. They have not
exaggerated the case. .
The automobile in the hands of
reckleks drivers has become one of
the chief menaces to the health and
safety of the American people. Only
a few diseases—tuberculosis, cancer,
brain hemorrhage, heat disease, pneu
monia, and neuritis—take larger toile
Contrasted with the automobile
deaths, typhoid fever has ell but dis-
appeared. The motor car is far more
wasteful of life than any disease of
childhood, Only a great war is more
-
destructive.
Why is it that Great Britain can el-
iminate railroad passenger accidents
while we kill and mutilate in whole -
50111 fashion with motor cars?
The answer is organization. The
railroads are organized to safeguard
their pntrons, while automobile driv-
ing is largely anerchy.
Railroad operation is put in the
hands of skilled men, and then it is
made as. nearly foolproof as is hu-
manly .possible. Intersections are
controlled by' intricate machinery. I
The engine driver has both a code
and specific ordete for every trip.
Safety is purehased by infinite pre-
caution.
The automobilist, on the other
hand, is governed neither by a well-
known code nor special orders. 11
many places, aud much of the time
he does what is right in his own eyes,
heedless of consequences.
Safety must be won on automo-
bile highways by the application of
the same methods which have brought
spectacular success on the raileoadn.
Streets and roads must be made as
nearly foolproof as possible. This
means engineering and signal sys-
tems.
Rules of the road must be drawn to
fit the needs of driving. A locomo-
tive in certain places travels at' from
60 to 90 miles in safety. •Autumo-
biles have as wide a range of safe
power. Laws which set foolishly
narrow speed limits are brought into
contempt by their own absurdity. We
need motor laws based on use and
experience and not on the prejudices
of a bygone age. •
Given rational rules, the reckless
automobilist must be as remorselessly
denied the privilege of driving as the
careless engineman would be exiled
from the locomotive dab.
A fool or a drunkard has no license
to operate any kind of moving engine.
The railroad man who is involved
in an accident will lose hie job if he
is any way culpable. The same kind
of supervision must be exercised in
order that unfit automobile drivers
may .be de-nietl the opportunity to
menace the lives of inns:tent people.
In many states the highway author-
ities are showing more firmness afid
intelligence n dealing with the dan-
gerous driver. At the same time
woads are being redesigned to elemin-
ate curves and dangerous crossings
and rational signal systems are being
developed. All this is progress,
The organizations mobilized by Sec
retary Hoover can render a great'na-
tional service by outlining' isrecise
plans governing .he Ilse of highways
by automobiles. Soiled .principles
which have been prevail in the test
of experience should be made avail-
able for those responsible in every
state. In this manner unlir can the
appalling slaughter and mutilation of
innocent people be stopped.
Firsi Maole 'Sugar

White Man is Indebted to Indian for
Many Valuable Foods.
We owe "theIndians far more than
they are indebted to us for many of
the questionable blessings of civiliza-
tion that we have foisted of them,
writes F. W. Hodge in Adventure
Magazine. The value of the more
important food produAs whichwe

lions of dollars annually, and' if we
add the world's tobacco crop, our. pe-
euniirry indebtedness to the Indians
is /IMMO Om* beyind measure,
Another ..food, as Well as tonfee‘
don for which we usually do not give
the Indians credit, is maple sugar,
which, like the others we have men-
tioned, was, not known to ,the Old
World before the French observed
the Indians extracting the sap from
the trees and sul*eting it to the
boilieg process,
&into!, in 1684, was probably the
first to mention this prirattWe indus-
try, but he was followed very closely
by an English writer in tho "Trans-
actions of the Royal Society" for
1684-85, who presented "Ail Account
of a Sort of Sugar made of the Juice
of Old Maple in Canada" in whichit
is stated . that "the savages have
practised this got !elver than any
norm living can remember."
Lafitam however", who made hie
observations in Lower. Canada in
1700-05, was not only ehe fiest to
describe .the process in detail and to
illustrate it, bet be :lays that "the
French make it better than the In-
dian women, from whom they have
learned how to make it." Then
again, Bosse; writing in 1756, says:
"After the first ceremonies were over
they brought me es -calabesh full of
the vegetal juice of the maple tree.
The Indians extract it in January,
making a hole at the bottom, of it,
and apply a little tube to that.'.At tho
first thaw they get a 'little barrel full
of this juice, which they hell to a
syrUp, and being boiled over again,
it changes into a reddish sugar,
looking like Citlabrian manna. The
apotheearies justly prefer it to the
sugar which is made of sugar canes.
The French who are settled at the
Illinois have learned from the In-
dians to make- this syrup, which is: an
exceedingly good remedy for colds
and rheumatism."
Canada was such an iinportant seat
of the maple -sugar industry among
Ithe Indian e from the earliest times
that the adoption of the maple leaf

"I want to see you married and set-
tled down in life before 1 pass away,"
spoke old eared Bliss to bis favorite
nephew, and the latter looked startled
at the suggestion.
"I shall think it over seriously, Un-
tie ;Tared," replied Ransom Bliss, but
Vaguely.
By a strange coincidence at almost
that very hour Mrs. Walter Morse was
tnIking over effalrs with her niece,
Elsie Briggs.
"I promised my sister, your mother,
when elle died," she said, "that you
ehould never need a home. My hus-
band is to represent the firm erneloY-
log him in far western Canada; mean-
while what are your plans, dear?"
Elsie looked serious, but not dis-
tressed. She bad been tiven a sensi-
ble, practical bringing up, and had
already thought over the future. Mrs.
Morse listened indulgently as Elsie
spoke of going to the city and earn-
ing her own living.
"You two have been so good to me. I
most not further burden you," she
said. "I am sure I cad' earn my own
way, Aunty."
Mrs. More grew very thoughtful.
Then, after a long pause, she said: "I
would like to see yot married, with a
good man for a busband and a home
of your own," but Elsie shook her
head smilingly.
Two evenings later as Elsie sat on
the porch Ransom Bliss appeared. Re
and Elsie had been friendly acquaint-
ances for over a year, and the latter
looked puzzled and thou embarrassed
as Ransom, after some casual con-
versation, moved his chair closer to-
wards her and said:
"I came on a special mission this
evening, Elsie. It is to ask you if you
will marry me."
Elsie flushed quickly and her voice
was a trifle unsteady as she said, with-
out the least trace of affectation:
"I never expected that you—you—"
"Cared for you, Elsie? Yes. Loved
you? No. True aftection is too sacred
a thing to be named lightly. 1 am
a plain-spoken man.' There is no wom-
an whom I more deeply respect and ad-
mire, and I would be proud to call
7011 my wife. I will devote my life
to' make you happy." .
Elsie sat with eyes cast down land
fluttering secretly at heart. She did
not reply on Impulse, nor for a long
time, Then, evenly enough, she
spoke:
"I feel that you have honored me,
Mr. Bliss, and I hppreciate your clear,
honest 'words. We bave always been
good friends. I shall be frank with
you in turn. You say you do not
love me, and I can confess for you
nothing deeper than esteem, 1 am
poor, humble, and will soon be home-
less. 1 would not have you later re-
gret that I can be nothing more to
You than a loyal, helpful wife, who,
however, can never forget that In a
measure this would be a marriage of
convenience."
And so they were wedded, and, after
the death of his uncle, Ransom' Bliss
and his bride took up their residence
at the old family home, They settled
down into their new life more like
partners than wedded mates, In all
thlngs Rensorn was considerate and
ceirteous and Elsie Wile a mallet bouse-
lceeper, and all that respect and
thorightfulness could suggest. Never
was there n jar or misunderstanding.
Malty a time, however, as he looked at
the henutiful girl, like himself engaged
In rending, Ransom realleeed that she
was pessessed of rare womanly quali-
ties, while Elsie, in turn, when Moue,
sighed drearily, ecknowledging his per-
fectIon as a men among awn, rind she
Was at variance with the compact they
bad mode.
There came ari unexpected separa-
tion a little later. The presence ot
Ransom was reemlred in settling up
some business of the estateset Abinge
don, 24 miles distant, For the first
few weeks he came Imine over Sunday,
but finally his absence ran into a full
month. 161sie was wretched. An im-
pulse came over her to at least see
him. A trolley line ran to a junction
half the distenee end then joined an-
other line. Sbe reached it about eight
o'clock in the evening to wait for the
intersection car. From Abingdon
there arrived ft car branching all and
a passenger alighted to wait for a
connection. He came into the dimly
lighted little stein. Diele recognized
hbn 55 bet. husband.
"Why, Elsie!" he spolte in surprise.
mitet telt you the truth," she said.
"/ wee lonely without you. I was go-
ing to visit Abingdon, if it was only
to see you at a distatice."
The man drew a deep breath, "And
I," he said in tonee that thrilled her.
"only sought to look through the win-
dOw of our home and see' r% you were
Well and happy," 0
"Happier now thee I ever Ilene

that We made a mistake in the past?"
"You mean—"
, "In deemlug that we cued for each

"It has grown into something deep.

teederly,
And the tritely Of a first and lastleg
love engulfed the satisfied 'soul Qt the

DAFFODIL
I wandered lonely as O. olOild,
That floats on high 0," 1,10,7;t
Whoa all at once I saw a erowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the teeeq,
Fluttering and dancing in th? breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine,
.•'ind twinkle on the milky way,
They stretehed 111 never-entling line,
Along the margin of the bay,
Ten thousand saw 1 at a glance
Tossing their heade in sprightly dame,
The waves beside them danced, hut
they
Out did the sparkling waves In glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company.
I gazed and gazed ---but little thought
What wealth that show to me had
thought.
For oft, when on my couch I lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye,
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with rapture fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

bewever, tifi.4 is mor1 than an empty
phrase, for remelt Alexandra auc-
ceeded to an ueusual degree in cap-
turing the affections of the 13ritish
i peoplee.
She won that affection by her many
, seontaneous acts of kindneee and
thoughtfulness, that evidently sprang
trent her own mind, and were not
the eeggeetions ee a cumpc.tent aide.
Moreover, although she was the wife
of a mouarch upon whose dominions
the sun never set she retained the
eimple habits in whiela she had been
bred ma a Danish princess. Her fath-
er's income was so small that the
girls had to make most of their own
clothing and on coming in from a
walk were wont to change their pret-
ty dresses and don serviceable an4
leas spoilable house overalls.
Iedeed, Alexandra's ekill in domes-
tic affairs and her thrifty spirit en -
cleared her to Queen Victoria and
enabled her to win the affection of
British women of all classes. She
was brought up in a home where love
had triumphed over poverty and
never ceased to have an understand-

ife of the Prince of Wales,
and later as Queen Consort, Alexan-
dra was a living protest against the
foibles and extravagancies of the so-
called smart set. Chiefly she set her
face against the wearing of osprey
feathers and she gave full permiesion
that her name be used in any way in
which it might help in the protection
of those birds.
Xing Edward was always, good-
humoredly remonstrating with his
wife for she spent a large part of her
income in charities, and probably was
eometimes imposed upon by unscrup-
ulous people with clever tales that
would not have deceived the wiser
"Teddy." Queen Alexandra's chari-
ties, however, were not of the simple

NEW MOTOR FUEL
Successful tests have been made
by the Automobile Club in France
for the substitution of acetylene for
gasoline in automobile engines. Ac-
cordng to a report, the economy is
about 50 per cent.
SECOND GEAR QUICKER
If the car is equipped with a trans-
mission that provides for a snappy,
fast and quiet second gear, using it
will often get the car over a steep
hill quicker than by forcing engine
at 18 miles an hour in "high".
TELLTALE KNOCKS
An engine that does not knock on
hills when filled with barbon is timed
too late. Such an engine will often
elhnb hills without overheating, but
it will be slow on the level.and will
over heat when forced much abtive
30 miles an hour. •
CLEANING THE TOP
The top of the car, whether open
or closed, should not be brushed off,
but should- be rubbed. Brushing digs
out particles of dirt that are of value
in filling in porous parts of the top
material. Rubbing cleans without
injuring the top.

ENGINE STALLING
If the engine stops while running
along the road, do not use the choker
when cranking again. Choking sends
a spray of raw gasoline into the cy-
linders, which vaporizes so quickly
when coming into contact with the
hot metal as to enrich the mixture to
a point where it will not burn. Under
such conditions the engine will not
start at all, even if the cause of the
original stall is Sound—that is, riot
until the cylinders have been thor-
oughly cleaned. To do this, open
the pet cocks and crank the engine
with the throttle closed.
A hard gravel road offers about
twice as much resistance as an asphalt
road.
