' ,v.-,::. When tlie Road Is Icy - Icy roads put an extra responsibility on the shoulders of every motorist; and nowhere is this responsibility heavier than m the neighborhood of railroad crossings. In Ohio recently a motorist approached a grade crossing very carefully. An automatic signal was heralding the approach ap-proach of a train. The driver put on his brakes. : But there was a'slight incline leading down to the tracks, and the road was very icy. His car slid down the hill and went on the track just in time to get hit by an express train and the motorist, for all that he had been driving carefully, lost his life. .V : ' 1 Ordinary care isn't enough when the roads are paved with ice especially when you . come to a grade crossing.

The custom of passing basins of water to lave the hands, or placing plac-ing them on the table, is of .extremely .ex-tremely 'ancient origin, and dates back to the days when there were no knives and forks and people ate their food with, their fingers. Bowls of scented water and napkins were passed after each course to enable the persons who : were eating to cleanse their, fingers. . Q. Why do men raise, their hats to women? . A. The custom of raising the hat '! as a mark of respect or courtesy, is derived directly .'from the days of chivalry, when men in armor raised the visor of their helmets in the presence of friends to indicate indi-cate that they "did not fear attack.. As a mark of courtesy we still retain re-tain the custom of raising the hat and of removing it entirely in the presence of friends. That the custom cus-tom in modern times . concerns raising the . hat to women more than to men; is simply due to the fact that ceremonial customs of any sort tend to become less -pronounced between members of one sex, even -while, they become Intensified Inten-sified between- the sexs.

This explains the reverberations. The Indians assert that the damage dam-age done by the storm is all performed per-formed by the young thunder birds, who are like 'mischievous boys and will not listen to the good advice of the wise old parent, who never kills or injures anyone! - Romantic bid Sacramento, capital of California, had its beginning as the first settlement in the state made by' immigrants crossing the continent It was called - "New Helvetia" by Its founder, Captain JohnA. Sutter, a Swiss by birth, who settled, there in 1839. - The name "Sacramento" first appeared ap-peared in October 1849, when hand-bllls hand-bllls were printed to advertise an auction sale of lets. Prior to that rtime, the . town was known both as "New Helvetia" and. "Sutter's Port." It was a trapping and trading trad-ing post, with a log fort. The geld strike, came along, and acraroonto became a "boom town" of great mining Importance. The city had been built- only 15 feet ebove the level of the Sacramento river, and when 'the stream was uv flood, the town was under five feet of water. A. system of levees finally i emedied the condition. SCIENCE We've heard so much about vita- min-D, the sunshine vitamin, that we've lost sight of the fact that there are any others. There are five, all told. . . . The1 popularity of- vitamin-D is probably due to the fact that it is the first we have been able to produce, pro-duce, chemically, at will. This Is done by the Irradiation . of the chemical substance ergostrol with ultra-violet light. V Quartz is nearest to the ideal in its transmission of the vitamin-D producing rays; but it is expensive. Science is now. producing quartz synthetically, at greatly reduced cost, with a special electric-vacuum furnace. - - ' - Today's Oddity It is an actual fact that the best revolver shots never pull the trigger, trig-ger, altho they fire thousands of cartridges.

The sheep broke, loose durmg,?!ie game, and decided that he wanted some excitement, too. Charging headlong into the men, he quickly chased them into the stands. After hard work, the ram was captured and the game was resumed, but once more the ram broke loose, and with lowered "head and flying feet, hurled himself - into the scramble. This time, the - players decided that the ram was too rough,' and left him in sole possession of the rfield. The ram was bewildered at their refusal to play with him. TMDE.

' Chaplin ; said, and may be right, "a good talking picture is inferior to a good stage play, while a good silent picture Is superior to a good stage play."1 , THOENIX, Ariz., not far from here, as western distance is reckoned, reports the greatest mining min-ing year that Arizona has known. In copper alone, the state produced more than eight hundred and thirty three million pounds, one hundred million pounds more than last year, value $149,200,000. That interests comparatively few Americans, of whom too many know of mining only", through bad get-rich-quick experience. Arizona's climate interests everybody,, and will be worth to the . state more than metals ever were, after the mines are exhausted. REGON forbids, the use of hard tires cn public highways. No automobile truck, trailer or semitrailer semi-trailer weighing more than eighteen eigh-teen hundred pounds may use Oregon Ore-gon roads, unless fully equipped with pneumatic tires. If that highway-preserving idea should spread to other states, it would mean a difference to tire makers. Perhaps some one will find a cheap substitute ' for rubber in heavy duty tires.' And Cement, or other hard roads will be made to endure any sort of wear, safely.
