CARED LITTLE FOR POLITICS
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking for the Law, and
Loved to Fish.
» * ■
"President Cleveland loved the law
tetter than he did politics,” remarked
B. O. Brown, a former resident of Buf
falo, to a reporter of the Washington
Post. "Had he considered his own de
sires he would never have left his prac
tice for political office. I doubt if even
the prospect of becoming president
would have Induced him to enter poli
tics.
“It was my privilege to know Mr.
Cleveland when he was practicing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed a
glittering success as a lawyer. He had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned, but he delighted In
Intricate legal problems, and much pre
ferred to take a case that Involved ap
parently hopeless questions. It could
not be said he was a good pleader, and
while the average person .was not at
tracted by his addresses in court.
Judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them, i'ecause they were
profound and logical.
“Whan he was not engaged In law,
Cleveland delighted In utter abandon
ment of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to fish. I recall that when some
of his Democratic friends wanted him
to become a candidate for mayor he
eald: T don’t want any more of poli
tics. I want to stay right here in Erie
county, where I can go fishing occa
sionally. I do not care If I never get
outside the borders of Erie.’ **
PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American Prove#
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.
Air raids on London are no longer
Jfethe sure-fire stuff for heartening the
^^Jerman people that they once were.
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid up to the English coast
and then have to raid right back home
again. A young American is given
credit for the success of the British in
surrounding their capital with a shrap
nel barrage whenever the German fly
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
in the British ablation service was as
signed to test out an airplane detector
which was expected to discover the ap
proach of airplanes before they could
be heard, so to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make It possible to tell whether
the approaching plane were German
or British.
His musical studies had trained the
American’s hearing to a high degree,
however. He listened through the In
strument for several days while only
British planes flew within its range.
Then he heard a different note. A Ger
man raiding squadron was approach
ing.
The American had discovered that
British planes hum In G-mlnor. He
found that the German raiders are
tuned in B-flat. Now the British avia
tion service keeps men about the capi
tal with their ears close to detectors,
and whenever airplanes are heard
vibrating In B-flat a barrage Is Imme
diately ordered.
Intoxicated by Freedom.
Magistrate—“Prisoner, the evidence
Shows that after being a model hus
band for twenty years, you threw your
wife out of the house and ran amuck,
attempting to murder everybody you
met.” Defendant (sheepishly)—“It was
only a peaceful revolution at the
start, your honor, but after I had
overthrown the autocracy I lost my
head.”—Puck.
Best Way to Water Plants.
A French botanist, who has experi
mented with vegetable raising, has de
termined the exact amount of water
necessary for tho best growth of vari
ous plants. In .general, he found that
a supply of water administered unin
terruptedly drop by drop brought bet
. ter results than even systematic
^^jlrenching.
Matter of Emphasis.
If a man wishes to give absolute em
phasis to a negative he Is quite likely
to say, “No, a thousand times no.”
What he really means Is that his nega
tive resolution Is so firm that he would
be willing to repeat It an Indefinite
number of times. So far as his mean
ing Is concerned he might as well say,
“a million times, no.” But only a man
of some hatytual violence of speeclr
would say this. It gives an Impression
Of wild extravagance. “Thousand,”
While being comparatively moderate,
somehow seems more forceful.

WOMEN DRIVERS
FEAR TOO MUCH
Fair Motorist Expresses Opinion
That They Lack Confidence
in Themselves.
DRIVING IS STATE OF MIND
Many Know What to Do Under Prac
tically All Conditions and Still
Fall to Do It—Best Nerve
Tonio in the World.
As has been said about worry—
namely, that most of one’s troubles
never happen—so the fear that a wom
an has in driving a carts not so much
that as it is the fear of being afraid.
At least that is the opinion of a well
known woman motorist.
“From my own experience and the
experience of other women to whom
I have talked about the subject, I be
lieve the most difficult thing a woman
has to overcome In learning to drive
a car is not to be afraid of being
afraid,” says this expert woman driver.
“Probably this sounds a little compli
cated, and an easier way to say it
would be that women as a whole, I be
lieve, lack confidence in themselves to
handle the unexpected, should the un

Easy to Handlo Car.
"A lot bas been said about driving.
Much advice has been offered as to
what to do and what not to do. I be
lieve that good driving is simply a
state of mind and that as soon as any
one discovers how easy it is to handle
a car and bow near an impossibility
it is for an emergency to arise that
cannot be met with little effort, when
the simple mechanism of the modern
car is mastered, she has learned about
all there Is to know In order to drive
a car.
“Of course one might know what
to do under practically all conditions,
and still not do it. Here is where lots
of women fail as good drivers; their
fear of doing the wrong thing is so
great that they do nothing at all.
Material Benefits.
“I have yet to see any woman who
has not been materially benefited by
driving. The fresh air, the co-ordina
tion of eye, mind and muscle, the ex
hilaration of feeling that you are mas
ter of the powerful and yet tractable
motor, and that It will answer your
every whim, cannot help but have a
beneficial effect on the nerves. In
fact, I firmly believe that driving Is
the best nerve tonic In the world.
“I have driven my car over thou
sands of miles of all kinds of roads—
boulevards, deserts and mountains.
The fact that I have never had an ac
cident of any kind adds a lot to the
sum total of my pleasure, of course,
but I know that even had I experi
enced a lot of trouble I would not
sacrifice for a great deal the actual
gain in health and the joy of driving
that I have experienced In my car.”
ATTENTION TO SPRING SEATS
They Should Be Oiled, or if Grease
Cup Is Provided, It Should Be
Turned Up Often.
Movable spring seats which are need
in some cars should receive {Periodic
attention. They should be oiled, or
if a grease cup Is provided, as Is usu
ally the case, It should be turned up
every few days. In springs of the
cantilever type It Is necessary to give
the fulcrum Joint periodic attention.
CARING FOR RADIATOR CAPS
Practice of Using It to Push Cars Back
Is Dangerous as It la Liable to
Be Broken.
When it Is necessary to back a car
Into place by pushing the first thing
on which most drivers settle -Is the
radiator cap. This Is rather a dan
gerous practice, for the exertion of
such heavy pressure against this part
Is quite likely to break it off.

HAMMER IN REPAIRING AUTO
Care in Use of Tool Is One of First
Things Amateur 8hould Learn
In Fixing Engine.
Care in the use of the machinist’s
hammer, which forms a part of the
tool equipment of every automobile, in
one of the first things the amateur
automobile repair man must learn
when working around the engine, says
a writer in the current issue of Amer
ican Motorist. With this hammer he
can do more damage in a moment
than a good man can repair in a week.
His first inclination is to use this form
of persuasion on any and every re
fractory part, and this is a desire
which should be overcome.
Not only should the hammer Itself
not be used on any metal parts with
out the interventioa of a block of
wood to protect the surface, but care
must be exercised to avoid hitting the
other parts through the inaccuracy of
aim jthat distinguishes the unskilled
wlelder of this tool.
A poorly aimed blow that misses Its
target and lands on one of the* valve
push rods or similarly vulnerable parts
with any degree of force is apt to cause
trouble of an expensive nature.
It is a good thing for the novice to
be sparing in the use of his hammer as
a cure-all.

HAD SEEN THEM “AT WORK”
Tommy Had Little Need to Puzzle His
Brains Over Question Propounded
by Teacher. >
Here Is a little story that was told
at a social session by Representative
Hubert D. Stephens of Mississippi, as
an illustration that the b^t Industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work :
Some time since, the teacher of a
public school in a country town was
Instructing a juvenile class in mathe
matics when she turned to a small boy
named Tommy.
“Tommy,” said she, “if your father
can do a piece of work in six days and
your uncle Jim can do it in seven days,
how long would It take them to do It
together?”
“About ten thousand years,” was the
rather startling rejoinder of Tommy.
“Ten thousand years!” exclaimed
the teacher. “Why, Tommy, what do
you mean?”
“I mean,” was the prompt response
of Tommy, “that If you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence, smoke and swap fish stories.”—

Which Judge Is Right?
An Eastern judge the other day
found a man guilty of disorderly con
duce for kissing Ills wife when she
didn’t want him to kiss her.
“It Is a woman’s Inalienable right
to refuse to be kissed If she doesn’t
want to be kissed,” this judge said,
adding, “and she doesn’t forfeit this
right when she marries the man.'”
But, on the other hand, Judge Gra
ham of San Francisco officially rules
that a husband may kiss his wife
whenever he pleases, whether It
pleases the wife or not.
Indeed, so firm are the Judge’s con
victions upon the subject that he was
moved to put his decision in verse:
•
Be a cave man, seize your mate
If ehe shows you signs of hate;
Let her scratch, let her bite.
But kiss her, boy; it is your right..
Take your choice of decisions, Mr.
Married Man. We refrain from ex
pressing our opinion as to which is the
right one. We're married.—Washing

Don’t Neglect a Bad Back!
It’s Mighty Poor Policy to Worry Along Thus Handi
capped When Health and Strength is So Needed
THE man or woman handicapped with a bad back in these times when
physical fitness is so necessapr, is indeed crippled. It's mighty poor
policy to worry along with an aching back day after day; work is neglected
and the simplest duties are a burden. Plowing, planting, harvesting, churn
ing, the daily housework all throw a heavy strain on the kidneys and kidney
ills, with attendant backache, are a common result. Don't wairi Neglect

Personal Reports of Real Cases
i-1-1
A UTAH CASE.
Mrs. E. A. Dangerfleld, 644 Iver
son Court, Salt Lake City, Utah,
says: “My kidneys were In a
weak condition and I had back
aches which were so severe that
I could scarcely get about. A
nurse recommended Doan’s Kid
ney Pills and I tried them. In a
short time they thoroughly cor
rected every disorder and I have
not had any trouble In this way
for several months.’’ (Statement
given February 14, 1913.)
TROUBLE NEVER CAME
BACK.
On March 19, 1917, Mrs. Danger
field said: “I have not had any
trouble with my kidneys since I
last recommended Doan’s Kidney
Pills. I consider the cure perma
nent.”
ANOTHER UTAH CASE.
W. W. Robinson, First East, nr.
First North St., American Fork,
Utah, says: "I know Doan’s Kid
ney Pills to be Just what is
claimed for them. For months
last winter I was suffering with
a steady ache and pains across
my kidneys. The slightest move
which caused any strain on my
back sent those pains through it.
A druggist recommended Doan’s
Kidney Pills so I tried them.
Doan's completely cured me and
I have had no symptoms of kid
ney trouble since.” (Statement
given August 22, 1907.)
On March 23, 1917, Mr. Robinson
said: “I have only needed Doan’s
Kidney Pills once since I recom
mended them. They gave me the
same good results as they did
before and quickly cured the
trouble."

ADDED BEAUTY TO GARDENS
World Owes Debt to Frenchman Who
Improved on the Glory of the
Lilac Blossom.
One of France’s war gardeners of
1870-71 won immortality by studying
his plants, instead of tending his gar
den merely as a way to help out with
the food supply. Like most war gar
deners, he did not give his attention
exclusively to vegetables but planted a
fetv flowers, and it was with these that
he had conspicuous success.
In 1871 Victor Lemoine began his
experiments in cross-fertilizing differ
ent species cf lilac. He took up this
work to got his mind away from the
troubles of his country, for a German
garrison was quartered in his native
town, Nancy,, and the rest of France,
except the doomed provinces of Alsace
Lorraine, was slowly buying back its
freedom from the same hated pres
ence. Lemolne’s sight at that time was
very bad, so he planned and had his
wife execute.
That was the origin of the W’ondrous
group of shrubs known today through
out the civilized world as “French
lilacs,” with their great trusses of
beauteous bloom. It Is Lemoine’s best
known work, though not his only one.
He recreated the mock orange, the
deutzla, the weigelia, the delphinium,
and a score of other perennials and
shrubs.
