that, when the use of alcohol becomes
general, motorists ehould fit two -tanks

any risks of failure 'until they become

Many drivers have a habit -of ' ap
proaching railroad crossings when the
rates are down at a slow rate of speed
with the blgli gear in, keeping the pao
of their cars down by throttling tne
engine. It Is very dangerous to do thla,
because a slight accidental Jostling by a
passenger on th front seat might easily
disturb the gas control, with tbe result
that tha machine might easily be sent

It Is actually amusing te witness the
antics of soma of the local players who
ar trying to secure s coat of amateur
white rash to cover their past records
aa professional ball toaaare. it rjnlnds
one of the daya of blcyclo racing, when
the tissue ef American V nwlmcn was
the ruling power over athlatla. Flsc
Ing men sought ' the same rt hltewaah
brush as eagerly trim as the basabsi.
amateur (?) doe now. If the truth
wss told about Some of our local play
ers Who are so snxlnns to fortt their
past It Would be sn liUertlng talc, do
doubt.
