nOOD 11IVER OLACIEIt, T11CBSPAY. JPLV 18, 1912 BOY SCOUTS PLAY BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Last Wednesday afternoon ut two o'clock a number of boy tcouta, of Troup 1, Hood River, met at the rec tory with Scout Master Simpson, to take a hike in the valley. The day was warm and the boys, if the truth were told, would far rather have gone in the direction of the Columbia for the propoed bike. Yet, the scout mas ter must be obeyed. The boys on po niesArthur Lofts. Rodger Simpson, Clifford McDonald, Jai-k Dukes, were in high fettle. Those on foot conven iently managed to get a lift Paul Harris, Newton Clark, Douglas Simp son, bundled in with Kllinton Ireland in h is buggy. Strange proceedings for a hike, one boy thought. Scoutmaster SimpRon and Patrol Leader Glen Good all occupied the back seat of a double seated carriage in grand state. It was all a scheme, for the whole bunch scrambled out at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Nordham, on Tucker road, and there under the spreading trees was a long table all set. It was a surprise to Glen Goodall, all planned by his mother, Mrs. Nordham, and his sister, Mrs. Winnell, on the occanion of his fifteenth birthday. Everyone knows the rest, fifteen pant were doled out to the hero of the occasion and after an afternoon spent in games enlivened by music all sat down to a birthday sup per. The table was ornamented by the most beautiful hand painted china, the work of the hostess, and fairly groand with good "eats." Those who did ample justice to the bounties provided were: Scoutmaster and Mrs. Simpson, Dr. and Mrs. E. I). Kanaga. Albert Crocker. W.W. Shultz, Arthur Lofts, Edwin Sonnichsen, New ton Clark, Paul Harris, Douglas Simp-I son, Clifford McDonald, hlston Ireland, Jack Dukes, Hodger Simpson, Glen Goodall. Glen was the recipient of many beautiful gifts which were pre sented after the supper. AUTOMOBILES E-M-Fs Prove Popular The Tip Top Auto Co. reports the sale of two L-M-F new model JIM I week.

BASE BALL Circus Team Easily Beaten The Kit Carson circus team, which went up against a team of stars, picked from the two local aggregations, that of the Heights and the Lower City, was easily defeated on the Columbia Park diamond, last Thursday afternoon where the game was played in the late afternoon after the first per formance of the day had been given. The score was 10 to 0. On the Kit Carson team was an Indian and a negro. The later wore a snow white suit, greatly in contrast to his ebony black face. The home team was com posed of Hall, Osborne, Kent, llaker, Tale, Shively, Shay and Itucklin. Maker did good work, getting two hits and a run in one inning. A running match was also indulged in. The circus Indian won the 100 yard dash and llaker was second. The circus team is said to have been de feating all of the base ball teams of the small towns to the east of here. Heights Has Close Shave One of the closest shaves the Heights basebal team, winners of the pennant of the Mid-Columbia league, has had this season was on Sunday, when a tie game was played with the Brooklyn Greys, of Portland. After eleven in nings the score stood 5 to 5. The Heights boys seemed to be in poorer form than usual and were not able to walk away with the openings they often made for themselves. Molasses on Roads Some of the best automobile roads in the country, according to local citizens who have recently passed through that section, are down in the sugar beet district of Colorado. 'I he beet sugar factories have a great deal of waste product in the form of a syrup that forms when the beet juice is being boiled. Experiments have proven that this Bvriinv mass makes far better dressing for roadways than crude oil. and the motorists of that region ride in comfort over highways coated with the waste beet syrup. Nails and Tires A nail which has entered the tread of a tire will not generally pern-rate to the inner tube until the wheel has made a number of revolution. When it does pierce the tube the nail remains in the puncture, so that the tire would not be deflated for hours if the whee were not in motion. Hut with every turn of the wheel the nail as it is brought into contact with the ground moves more or less in its hole and allows a small amount of air to escape. It returns to its original position as soon as carried upward again. The escape of air is hardly no ticeable at hrst, but very soon because the nail is moved about so repeatedly, the puncture enlarges and the escape of air becomes more apparent. This takes considerable time and in nine cases out of ten the motorist will not notice thut.his tire is Mat until he has traveled several miles. Oftentimes this is far enough to do much damage, for when a car is trav- elingona deflated tire both tube and envelope are literally chewed between the rim and the ground. When the tire is examined it is found'that the walls of the envelope are strained and the canvas torn, while the inner tube, if it be repared and inflated will show a thousand invisible cuts. Roy C. firock has just received his handsome new Velie 40-horse power automobile from Portland. The new machine has a clussy and attractive finish and is of diirk gray color. It was purchased from the Laurel-Kose Auto Co., of which Mr. llrock's brother, E. C. lirock, is half owner.
