Tho uutomobilo Industry is getting
back to normalcy at a "full speed
ahead" clip. It Is making up lor lost
time. Already there is a shortage of
many makes of cars. A manufacturer
of one of tho most popular medium
priced cars has just Issued this state
ment. "The sale of our cars for de
livery in April, May and June is far
in excess of any previous year in our
history." Better buy that new car
early!
There are three great days in man's
life. The day ho putH on his first pair
of long trousers, the day ho gets mar
ried for tho first time and the great
day when he makes his first public
appearance behind a steering wheel.
After that, ho experiences all the
Joys and woes of motoring the first
long tour, traffic cops, tire trouble,
and all the rest.
Tliero are 12,0(10 consolidated rural
schools in operation in the United
States; and fully half the vehicles used
in transporting children to and from
them are motor driven. The motor
bus is fast roplaclng the horse-drawn
vehiclo because of its superiority
regularity, speed and general comfort.
There Is nothing so annoying and
discouraging to the man who is learn
ing to drive his new car than the
"road hog." And ho is equally dis
gusting to the experienced motorist.
And road hogs are not confined to
tho ranks of passenger cur drivers;
truck drivers are often guilty of hog
ging the road. Courtesy is one of tho
first requisites of car driving. Give
tho other follow plenty of room It
may keep him out of the ditch.
8an Frnnclaco used a number of
signs such as the following In a recent
Bafoty-flrst campaign: "When you
are in the morgue It Is of little Impor
tance to you whoso fault It was." "He
mombor, pedestrian beter loso a min
ute than a leg." "Remember, motor
istdrive with both bunds If you ex
pect to live and marry her!"
Our wookly DON'T Don't drive on
a retarded spark! This Is ono of the
most prolific causes of engine ovi
heatlng. The cause Is obvious, tho ex
plosion takes place when a maximum
of the cylinder wall is uncovered In
stead of the minimum, as Is the case
when tho ignition takes place at the
upper dead center, tho piston being at
tho top of Its stroke, Hy keeping this
in mind tho car owner will lengthen
the life of his engine.

upper Hood River valley, is prepar

board protesting against the grant to

A Passing Landmark of Old Manila
This Is n photograph of the famous old Bridge of Spain, Manila. It Is
now a departed landmark of the Philippines, for its place has been tnken by
one of the finest bridges In the entire Orient, the new Jones bridge.
The Jones Rrldge Is named In honor of the late Congressman W. A. Jones
of Virginia, author of the Jones law of 1910 which promised the Filipinos
Independence upon tho establishment of a stable government.
The old Hrldge of Spain is called "the mother of Manila's bridges." The
original bridge was built of pontoons sometime between the years 1590 aTid
1000, being known as the Bridge of Ilonts. The stone bridge shown above
was built about 1030. It was twice .damaged by earthquakes, and was once
partly demolished by a flood.

PROHIBITION INCURABLE"
DISEASE, QUOTHES ALLEN
By Westbrook Pegler
(United News Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, April 20 Take It
from Kansas and one who has suffer
ed, there is no cure for prohibition.
T'hen it gets you it's got you and it
has got America.
Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas,
where the present generation "never
had alcohol in its system and never
saw a saloon," sat back on his shoul
der blades in a big tapestry chair,
with ono leg crossed over the other
and his hands laced across his equa
torial thickness, chuckling over New
York's agonies in the new aridity.
"Kansas suffered this way too, '
ho Bald. "For 10 years wo had pe
riods of dampness nnd periods ot
drought. "Rut all tho time the sentl
mont for prohibition was growing and
it is growing In New York. Pretty
soon the very people who are fretting
about (he matter will bo prohibition
ists themselves. It happened in Kan
sas." Tho governor stops at tho Waldor',
a center of great suffering, where
the rooms that onco held row on row
of the finest wines are now converted
into a gymnasium for tho bell hops.
All around that region of big hotG's
and "swell cafes," tliero has beon
anguish most, heart rending slnc
Chief of Police Commissioner En
right turned' loosu his 11,000 police
men with orders to make this town
dry like Kansas.
"1 know it Is not comforting to suv
to a thirsty people like the populn
Hon of New York that they'll grow
to like prohibition, but they'll have to
llko It," tho governor of the state tint
suffered and gdt over It, continued.
"New York might as well got her
mind off her liquor because tho sup
plies are getting lower every day and
the quality worse, and they will nev
er got bigger or bettor again. Prohi
bition does not retreat, It just keens
going forward all the time, As long as
a man keeps hoping for something
he can't possibly get, his mind Is dou
bled and his nervous energy Is being
wasted,
"Why, 1 remember that out In Kan
sas the original prohibition campaign
was no more popular with the busi
ness men and the real people In gen
eral that It Is right now in New York,
it was a sentimental campaign and
tho marching song was, 'Father, Den,
Father, Come Homo With Me Now.'
"Rut after those first 10 yciw-s me
ousluoss men got so they wouldn't em
ploy a fellow that drank and It was
not long after that until the entire
population came to accept prohim
Hon as a general genefit. Thnt made
the combination absolute and for 12
years prior to the Volstead act no
