As a matter of fact, there is a limit to what an automobile accident insurance policy will stand for--certainly not extreme recklessness, know of one case where a careless driver drove his machine over a high cliff and wrecked it. While he succeeded in saving his own neck, he did not save much of the car. The insurance company would not give a new car as he demanded. Consequently he found out there is no accident insurance written to cover loss from recklessness. If it is necessary for an injured car to be towed, keep it as nearly as possible in line with the towing car. The two cars should be tied about 10 feet apart. If one end of the rope is tied to the left side of the car, tie the other end to the same side of the other car. See that the gears are not meshed and that the brakes are released. The man in the- towed car will need to keep his mind on his job especially in rounding corners, passing cars and going down grades. Definite signals should be arranged between the driver of the towed car and the one doing the tawing. If the differential gears are locked and the rear wheels will not allow for towing, this can often be remedied by taking off the rear wheels and removing the keys which hold the wheels to the shafts. If one wheel is broken try to secure a small pole and make a sort of sled runner to take the load off the side of the car. If the wheels are out of line, save the tires by securing from a garage a small towing truck which will lift them off the ground.--H. Clifford Brokaw, Technical Adviser, N. Y. City Y. M. C.

The silo on the Hoppe farm was be ing filled last week and right in the midst of the busy work the hired man left Mrs. Hoppe and her 19-year-old son alone on the big farm with a lot of cows to milk and corn to cut for silo. Where is there help to be de pended on? Frank Kaiser filled his silo and then filled the chute and they parted company. Both silo and chute are of wood. Ray Hobart has resigned his job as gas distributor for the Elgin firm. He found it too much riding. Corn cutting is a hard job since the storm came and twisted it every way. Some hills lay one way, others the opposite, and some almost flat. Mr. Moore, who owns the little farm formerly owned by G. Harris, is making many improvements. There are five silos in this section that are not filled. Mr. Moore has two, Mr. Howe one, and Henry Hobart and Warren Francisco, each one.

The large hall was filled to overflowing with an enthusiastic audience that gave the closest attention to the Hon. A. J.

Congressman Hopkins is a ready speaker with a fund of logic at his command, and kept the vast audience in sympathy with him throughout his entire speech, which lasted almost two hours. Little Walter Krause, the sevenyear- old son of John Krause, was the victim of a very painful accident last Monday evening.

Show also the direction in which the cars involved were moving. If a camera can be secured take pictures of the wreckage from* different points of view by way of obtaining good evidence. If the wheels of a car were locked by the brakes, there will probably be a mark on the road or pavement. This can be indicated on the sketch. It may also appear in the photograph.
