religion of the day did not interest
him and he sought another one.
One day he saw a book lying in the
street and knowing what it was
look it home with him. It was a
Bible and by studying it he said. he
found the. creed which he was seek-
ing. Dr. Pirauini w ho is master

FOR ACCIDENTS
Motor Vehicle Hearing
Shows Drivers For-
get Hand Brake New
Auto Book States
Hearings at the State Motor Ve-
hicle department as to the circum-
stances surrounding a large num-
ber of automobile accidents have
brought out the fact that the emer-
gency or hand brake is seldom set
before the collision occurs. accord-
ing to an article on "Skiddlng and
tho. use of the Emergency Brake"
appearing in the 192i edition of the
Connecticut Motor Vehicle Register
Just issued.
“Only one poesible reason for
this presents itself." it_says. “namely
this brake isso rarely used for
purposes of control of the car while
in motion that the driver is not
practiced in such use. Consequently
when the emergency for which it
could be useful confronts the driver.
he does not use it because he is not
trained and in readiness."
Skidding is given as the cause
of many of the accidents now re-
ported to the department. and most
of such cases are listed under the
head "reckless driving." it being
shown frequently that drivers have
attempted to coast ‘down hill with
the clutch out depending for control
entirely upon the brakes. which are
powerless against skidding.
Considerable space is given in the
Register to explanation of driving
signals. and many illustrations are
printed.
"it is the very proper tendency of
all courts and automobile depart-
monts," according to the article. "to
place a. distinct. burden of caution
upon every driver of a car which is
in good position for observation of
signals given by the driver of any
other car: that is. a driver ap-
proaching from the rear is held to
caution notwithstanding a signal
from the car in front. The fact that
any signal at all is given puts the
following driver to a duty of ex-
treme care based upon his knowledge
that the leader is about to do some-
thing."
The Register gives the license
number. car style. model. factory
number and owner's name of about
80.000 passenger cars and the same
information concerning about 3.000
commercial motor vehicles. Subse-
quent registrations will be listed in
three succeeding volumes. one to
appear about August 20. one about
September 25 and the last about
October 30. It is published by the
Connecticut Motor Vehicle Regis-
tration Company of New Haven and
contains. in addition to the regis-
(ration information. a copy of the
State motor vehicle laws. a statement
of the motor vehicle department's
policy of enforcement substantially
as outlined in the July Bulletin of
the depdrtment; illustrations of im-
portaut rules of the road. Connecti-
cut headlight regulstlons. signalling
directions. and an outline of the
State highway work now under way.

SUGGESTIONS.
A little soda added to the water
in which greasy cooking utensils
are to be washed will, make the
work easier.
Instead of cracker crumbs for
croquetta. breaded vial. scalloped
corn or potatoes au gratin. use corn
flakes. They are rolled much more
easily and are a delicious golden
brown when done.
To prevent your apron pocket
from catching on the door knob or
protruding object. rip the pocket
down an inch or so on each side,
finish with a hem and sew a fast-
ener at the top. Then if the pocket
should catch on anything the fast-
ener becames loose and no tear re-
suits.
When sewing hooks and eyes or
snappors on very thin material, try
inserting a. strip of thin cardboard
between outside material and fac-
ing. Then you can sew right along
quickly without danger of stitches
showing through on. the outside of
seam or fold. as the case may be.
This is a great time saver when
working on georgettc or chiflon.
Buttonholes are always hard to
make in very sheer material. Try
this method which has proved sat-
isfactory: Mark the place and size
of buttomholes in the material with
a. piece of chalk. Have this line
hemstitched over and then cut the
hemetitching as for plcot and work
the buttonholes over the plcot. This
is a neat and easy way to do them
and they will not fray out.

He spoke French from early ' boy-
hood and his first Voyage aboard
a French ship to the Gulf of Mex—

“sowed ,wild eat. .on the Meditera-

Then, in 1877. he signed up on his

The first boy was probably hurt
and thought you were putting him
of! because you did not care for
him. Under the circumstances I
think it would be all right for you
to say that you have been disap-
pointed becauso he has never been
back to see you. Say that. you hope
he will come. Do not urge. and try
not to show how much you care
about his coming. If you are un-
happy with the second young man
and ashamed of him, I do not think
you ought to accept his invitations.
“'hen he invites you places. say it
will not be convenient to go.

advise you to put much faith in
what your aunt says. because it
does not ring true. The boy seem—

advise you to have faith in him.
When he comes to see your brother,
treat him. pleasantly and as if noth-

he would not come around. he will

Conrad. who became a natural-
ized British subject in 188‘ drifted
into writing quite casually. At. in-
tervals while at. sea. he had been
writing on his first manuscript. He
was chief mate of the sailing ship
“Torrens." out of London to Aus-
tralia when. in 1898, he showed the
unfinished manuscript to a pagea-
ger. a. chance acquaintance. The
passenger turned it back without a
word. but when questioned by the
author replied it had appealed
1strongly and urged that be complete
t.
Forced to retire from the sea be-
ans. of illness growing out of an
old fever caught in the Congo, Con-
rad on shore, resumed work on the
manuscript during the neit two
years. In use it was published. "Al-
mayor's Folly," his first book. It
won few but warmlpiaudits.
Conrad came slowly into his own.
