PAQB THE BEND BULLETIN, DAILY EDITION, BEND, OREGON, HATITRDAV, BKPT, IS, 1010 PAUSE, PEDESTRIAN, PAUSE; CO-OPERATE WITH MOTORISTS Puuae, gentle pedestraln, pause Pause betoro yoii go Bkurrying iicross a' crowded througlifnro, re gardless of orosslngs and without any consideration of the man driving a motor car. Pause and think what ho Is up against. A driver must watch every person on both sides of the stree. Ho must watch every motor car whether It Is coming from straight ahead, from right or left, or Is traveling ahead of him. His path is a rough one. If the pavement is wet it Is slippery, and this adds anothe.' dangerous ele ment. It Is not alone your life and limb that you endanger when you ueed lessly add to traffic troubles. You in most cases endanger lives of others. You have your rights so has the motorist, but yours Is not the right to unnecessarily or heedlessly put the motorist in a'dangerous position any more than it is his right to en danger you. Streets are narrow, people are nu merous and bo are automobiles; there is barely enough room for us all even If everyone cooperates to his full limit of ability. Keep to the crossing, watch the traffic semaphores and try not to travel against them. Once you have Btarted ahead 'maintain an even pace; do not stop and do not dodge back and forth. There are laws for- your protec tion. The state and city laws hedge the motorist with all man ner of rules and restrictions. If 70a Bee a motorist break the law report to the police his number, where the incident happened and the time of day. A postcard is all that is necessary. Familiarize your self with these traffic laws 80 that you will know when they are broken. Some motorists are care less, some repeatedly ignore the laws, but you only make matters worse when you add to the con fusion. What we need is harmony and co-operation. Stop think every motorist con siders himself a powerful overlord with murder in his heart, who looks down on you as a depicable insect whose sole mission is to an noy him. He doesn't feel that way. Most motorist are afraid . of hurt ing you than you of getting hurt, if for nothing else 'because he has to pay the damage nine times out of ten If you are injured. Eliminate hard feelings, from your heart. Do not tread on the" motorist's toes and do not stand for his treading on yours. . Stand on your rights, tut do not exceed them. Do so with one thought in mind" thnt the onl is the dimi nution of contusion, congestion and uncalled for accidents and sacri fice ot lite. OWED MUCH TO STEREOSCOPE Hew Commander During th Great . War Got Information of Vital Importance. The old-fashioned stereoscope played . an Important part In the world war. It supplied an ancle to photosraphs. snapped from airplane, that could not be obtained from the ordinary camera Ions. Before Its use the pictures all seemed flat, but Ihe stereoscope added height, and thus steep slopes, that appeared In pic tures like lint ground, were shown In their true characteristics, and the lives of men who would have to cover the ground In attack' were- saved. The airplane camera looks directly down on the spot to be photographed, making a picture as a one-eyed man would see It. A stereoscopic camera. In which the lenses are two add three-quarters Inches apart, would not produce the stereoscopic effect. Pho tographers decided to take pictures 100 yards apart to give a view. Just as a giant, with eyes 100 yards nport. would see It. These pictures were put on cardboard, and viewed through the stereoscope. At first a cottuge looked like a tower, a bucket like a well, a trench like a canyon, etc. The officers soon learned to translate these eccentricities, and the problem was solved. True pictures, giving Just the exnet information desired, were then obtained J)y the airplane photogra phers. The "Biblers." The Czecho-Slovaks. having attain ed national Independence, attain also the privilege of reading the Bible In the national tongue, so the British Bi ble society is planning to print Czech Bibles purchasable for 50 cents each. Austrian and Italians have long called the Czecho-Slovaks "Biblers." The Czech Bible was first printed In 1475. but when the Czechs came under Austria the printing and reading of the Bible in their own language was forbidden. Copies of the Czech Bible were printed in other lnnds and smug gled In, but were burned If discovered. Religious persecution, dntlng back to the time of John Huss, the Bohemian reformer of the fifteenth century, com bined with political persecution -to make the Czech Bible rare, but all the more highly valued. Although. In mod ern days, the Austrian government permitted the circulation of the Czech Bible In the army. It continued to prohibit the circulation among the Czechs ut home. Potash In Bracken. It Is believed that the ash of bracken contains 40 to 50 per cent of soluble potash. The potassium occurs chief); as sulphate and chloride. , REGISTRATIONS SMASH RECORD 1919 BUSY YEAR FOR PURCHASERS. 17,1IM) More Licenses Taken Out This Year Than for Same Period in 1018 iMM Issued in August.

' AUSl FOR HUMAN FRAILTY City Editor-Waa First Victim of Hit Own Starn Warning Againit th "Booze." Speaking of boozo: A few years ago, when Colorado wus as wet as Ihe great Sahara Is not, the city editor ot a Denver dally wus having no Inconsid erable trouble In getting out a new paper Ihe day foltnwlug each pay night, finally. In desperation, ho Is sued the following mimeographed let ter for distribution to members of the stair: ' "Any member of this ySlalt who Is found under the intlueiice of liquor, or with any Indication of having been drinking during working hours, will be: Fined for the first misdemeanor; suspended for the second; llred un conditionally for tho third." Those mimeographed letters were placed on tho copy boy's desk with In structions to distribute them as soon as the staff appeared for work the next afternoon. On tho following afternoon there was beard a snort from tho office of the society editor, and a usually meek little red-hnlrcd beauty cnino dashing out of her room, wuvlng a piece of papor In her hand. "Where's the city editor?" she demnnded. "I'll ee why I have to be Insulted like this." The assistant city editor tried to cnlm her. But nothing would do but that she see the city editor himself. "Well," said the A. C. K, "It can't be done. He was stewed and we had to send him home." Needless to say, there was a new city editor the next afternoon, and the staff gloatingly drniik Its way to the days of prohibition. Lorry A. Jacobs, the Dallas Dispatch, in "Pep."

Get A Tire With A Reputation and A House Behind It. 1 Did you know that there are 500 different tires made in the country. Some only in existence a few months, some a year; but with c Diamond, it is with you always. No matter where you gonorth, south, east or west, there is a Diamond dealer and a big line of Diamond boosters. For Service. and Mileage Put on DIAMONDS 6,000 MILES ON FABRICS 8,000 MILES ON CORDS Bend Hardware Co. Fisk Cord Tires An Investment in Tire Economy " . ' . CN DURANCE is the supreme test of tires --the , thing that gives excess mileage and saves money. Quality, experience and high manufacturing standards build into a tire things which insure long mileage which rolls off the miles, thousand after thousand, without interruption and without inconvenience to , the user. , Fisk Cord Tires are built just that ,way. Big, good looking, with extra tough tread, they give you easy riding, save gas and most important of all deliver the miles in excess of what you buy. That save you real money. Next Time-BUY FISK Cord Tires! Fisk In the Attitude of An INVESTMENT THE CHEVRODET Motor Cnm pany considers a motorcar pur chase from the standpoint that it is. an important Investment. THEY have built with this idea in mind, with a full realization that the car itself must make the distinction between investment and liability. HpHE Chevrolet is an investment, not alone because of its moderate price, but because of the little it costs after the purchase. In low upkeep especially, does the price of the Chevrolet qual ify as an investment rich in eco nomical service returns. 'THAT the Chevrolet has become a world-wide favorite is not hap hazard success, but the merited re sult of a conscientious manufactur ing policy. Bend Garage Co. '..'agents..
