For if ever sympathy and assistance are needed, it is in time of sickness. It is not enough that you call up on the phone and inquire as to the condiâ€" ton of the person wko is ill, or that you offer to assist them. When you say: "If there is anything that we can do, let us know and wo‘ll be glad to «o it," you put your neighbor in the position of asking you for favors, if he wants them. Many times he will not tin over, there are a fexw preliminary and inmportant detaills that need attention. For instance, the criver should place the gzear shifting lever in the neutral position, pat the emengency brake on, rebard the spark fully, or, if well acâ€" quainted with the motor, to point where the spark surely will ccocur on or after the spark has pessed top centre. Open the throttle about oneâ€" thinl. After getting acquainted with the machine one will find a position for the throttle where the motor alâ€" ways will start best. Put on the agwitch. If the motor habitually starts hard, prime the carburetor. After the engine stamts close the throttle and advance the spark about oneâ€"half. If the engine has been starteod on the battervy and magnoto is used, switch immediately from the battery to the magnots. Do not allow the motor to race.

Few, if any,. car owners ever reach the point where they knmow it all in driving. In starting out to learn how to drive an automobile the neophyte shou‘ld, fAirst of all, know that the car to be operated is in good drivable condition. There should be a good supply of gasoline, oifl, and water in the proper receptacles for such necessities.

This awutoâ€" mobile world is coâ€"educational, for no amail number of women drivers are seen ploting motors along our highâ€" ways. And thor proportion, as comâ€" pared with men, is cconstantly inâ€" creasing. The newcomer into the realm of automotive enginecring, that is the person who has just purchased a car and does not know how to drive has got a roal undertaking on his hands in learning well the fine art of automeoâ€" bie manipwlation. The new owner who has driven cther cars has a less difficu‘t problem, but even at that it is one to take seriously. From the pedestrian‘s poini of view he would doub>t‘css conclude that a regular edâ€" wcational course in driving a car would not come in amiss for the well seasoned driver, juiging from what he soaes of reckless driving and the way he has frequently to dodge machines to save his life.

If you can think of any way to help out, do so by all means. Don‘t ask if you may, or offer to do certain things. Simply go abhead and do the work that will relieve them of part of their duties. Sympathy and kindness are never more needed than in a home where there is serious !liness, . The best way to bestow your sympathy and assistance is to do, on your own initiaâ€" tive and as unobtrusively as possible, those things which your good judgâ€" ment tells you will be of real help to the afflicted fami{ily. Various articles of food, ready to be served (not only the delicacies preâ€" pared especially for the sick person, but also food for the other members of the family) help out greatly at such a time. Of course, your neighbor has a cellar full of provisions and does not need the food itself; but the readyâ€" prepared dishes help to relieve the mother from a part of her duties and allow her to give more time to the sick person. â€" She is probably worried enough by sickness without thinking about the preparation of food. Using your good judgment in the proper seâ€" lection of foods, take them directly to the home of your neighbor without calling up and asking, "if they want them." Not only will this relieve them of some work, but it will do much to restore them to a more cheerful state of mind, knowing that they have the sympathy of kind neighbors who are anxious to do anything for them that they can. | doubt of the genuinenes of your offer if it is made in this manner.

One of the group, Cazeles, the very morning after he arrived lifted his fork and, curiously scrutinizing the bit of toast served him at breakfast, inquired with much interest if it were "But these poor people have been accustomed to such things in their own country, and for one day I think we can do without them." "Bless me, sir, do remember there "I can consider nothing, sir, but that we shall have no second course. Give it away to the French people, indeed!" One day as he was about to send off a noble gift of venison that Mrs. Webâ€" ster had intended to dress for the comâ€" pany, she darted upon him as if upon a thief. "Sir, sir‘" she cried. "I canâ€" not part with my haunch. I cannot, inâ€" deed. I shall be ruined if I lose my haunch; we shall have nothing fit for dinner." "But. my dear Mrs. Webster, pray consider these poor peopleâ€"" Whenever there was anything nice in the larder, such as a haunch of venison or game intended for the second course, Mrs. Webster was obâ€" liged to keep watch over the dainty lest her improvident employer should slyly send it to the French people. Sometimes he managed to elude her vigllance; sometimes he was caught and disappointed. a keen personal interest in the estabâ€" lishments and showed it in & variety of ways. Nevertheless, a recent writer on the ‘ messages were not deciphered for refugees in England has recalled an i three days after that first hour.

Edmund Burke‘s Venison. When an Albanian girl is to be marâ€" ried all ber relatives contribute to proâ€" vide her with trousers as well as with the full costume of an Albanian woâ€" man, including caps adorned with gold and pearls. The complete dress weighs more than sixty pounds. The ricker the woman, the more exâ€" tensive are the trousers, and it is not at all uncommon to see women wearâ€" ing trousers that are made of ninety feet or more of cloth. An Albanian woman takes pride in wearing trowers as voluminous as pos@ible, and as a result the garments do not in the least resemble the orâ€" dinary masculine attire with which we associate the word, but appear like treâ€" mendous, full, heavy skirts. In the Balkans, where women tend goats and cattle in the mountains, it is necessary for them to wear trousâ€" ors; skirts would be too cumbersome among the rocks. In Albania, howâ€" ever, women wear trousers in accordâ€" ance with an old custom. The secret of the invention is in the master wheel, a small spool, not unâ€" like that on which typewriter ribbons are wound, containing 26 apertures in either side, and a similar number in the rim, the whole wheel being about 3 inches in diameter. Each letter is wired in combination with other letâ€" ters, the whole machine being electriâ€" cally opefrated, and it is in this wiring that the secret of the instrument lies. The receiving operator has racked in front of him any number of these spools or wheels, wired to correspond to a simllar number of other wheels. Letters common to two #pools are first sent; by these the receiving operâ€" ator knows which wheel is being used to send. and drops into the machine the similarly wired spool from his rack. Only two spools similarly wired will work together. _ The receiving machine at the other endâ€"sending and receiving apparatus being combined into one machine smaller than a typewriterâ€"receives the wire or wireles messages in code, and presents them to the operator at that end spelled out on an illuminated keyboard, in plain English again. That is, the message is written into the maâ€" chine, put into code by the machine, transmitted in code, decoded by the receiving machine, and presented to the receiving operator as originally written by the sender without possiâ€" bility of error. If any machine yet deâ€" vised can think, this one does, or seems so to do. In appearance, it is not unâ€" like one of the early phonographs, reâ€" cords for which were made on wax cylinders, instead of on flat disks. There is, however, no wax cylinder, composition disk, or other recording attachment. Whatevor is sent into the machine is buried within it, as soon | as the master wheel has coded the message and sent it on its way along the wires or through the ether. | For this reason, unusual interest atâ€" taches to patents recently issued to a Californian, Edward H. Hebern, of Oakland, for a codesending and reâ€" ceiving machine, for use with either wire or wirelass. This machine sends its messages in a code which is capâ€" able of 11,881,376 changes, so that it is possible by working all of these alâ€" terations, to obtain and use on this one machine a practically unlimited number of different codes, the key to any one of which is not the key to any other one. The operator of the sendâ€" ing machine writes his messagos in plain English, on the keyboard, just as he would write them on the typeâ€" writer. By means of a "master wheel," or "key wheol," theso messages are sent, by wire or radjo, in a code which this wheel writes. not always, nor uniformly, succélstul It is written in the chronicles of the American Civil War that a code mesâ€" sage sent by General Grant to Washâ€" ington has not yet been deciphered. It is known that in the naval engagement off Jutland, in the World War, the code system was discarded after the first hour of use, and some of the code messages were not deciphered for three days after that first hour. In a recent sham battle off San Diego, the records show that it was nearly six months before some of the code mesâ€" sages sent during this naval "engageâ€" ment" were reduced to understandable English. That is to say, the code as used in written messages during a war of 60 years ago, and the radio Small things that I have lovedâ€"a pebâ€" ble white And still as daybreak, lying on the sand, A tree that stirred with tremors of deâ€" light When kissed by wind; a small and wrinkled hand Wihose quiet comfort eased a weary browâ€" These are the things for which I hunâ€" s ger now.

Skunk scent, found in the same way, is said to be good for foxes. An excellent bait for the otter is a fish fastened to a stick. If you can not get fish use the head of a rabbit or a piece of muskrat. The bait should be skinned and renewed once a week. Skunks are attracted by tainted bait of almost any kind. Rotten eggs and fish are often used. For muskrats, a strongâ€"«cented vegeâ€" table, such as parsnip is best; catnip is frequently used.
