Don’t Speed I p hi Mud.
L If your auto gets stuck in the mud
don't try to put on speed to get it
out. This will only spin the wheels
and make them sink deeper. The
proper thing to do is to go slow in low
year. It is uot even good to try to
turn from side to side. When the
front wheels are turned the engine
has to push the ear against the weight
of the mud in front of the wheels.
pß’hen the wheels first start spinning
put on the emergency brake just
enough to stop the spin. Frequent
ly this will enable the wheels to take
|hoid —and you get your car out of
the mud without much trouble. In
rase this does not work, any old rope,
board, bushes, sacks or paper put lin

An excited man came rushing into

A man near by reached into his bag

“Thanks awfully, my friend; it always

Head of State System Says Smoking
Same For Men and Women.
Raleigh News and Observer.
“What Bryn Mawr lias done in
setting aside a room for the girls to
smoke in and thereby recognizing
the present state of affairs, otner
women's colleges will eventually do,”
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion A. T. Allen, who is also ex
officio chairman of the booard of
trustees of the North Carolina Col
lege for Women and the East Caro
lina College For Women and the
East Carolina Teachers’ College,
predicted last night although heads
of the women’s colleges in the State
were unanimous in their disapproval
of women smoking, stating with but
one exceptiion that smoking was not
allowed in their institution.
Although the heads of the three
women’s colleges in Raleigh were
unanimous in declaring that their
students do not smoke, estimates
made by five drug stores here showed
that between seven and eight dozen
packages of cigarettes are sold school
girls each week. And as one clerk re
marked “Os course there are lots of
girls who have boys buy this ciga
rettes for them."
“I see no reason why women
should not smoke aa well as men,”
Mr. Allen said- “It is merely a part
of the general breaking down of dif
ferences between the sexes. To melt
seems there is no material difference
between a man and a woman’s smok
ing. It is manly a matter of taste or
judgment. '
“Os course the institutions have a
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
right to bur smoking among their
. students if they like. I think they
are within their rights in doing it,
: but eventually women's colleges will
recognize women’s smoking as Bryn
Mawr has done.”
Believe It Or Not.
A man was walking along the road
side one summer day and noticed a
fairly' good looking hat out in the
road. Beaching out with his cane,
he gave it a cut and startled to hear
a voice exclaim: “Hey, what the dick
ens are you doing?”
Then he made the astonishing dis
covery that the owner of the headpiece
was under the hat, up to his ear* in
mud.
“Great heavens!” exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. “Is that
mud as deep as that!’’
“Deep!" fried the victim. “Why
man alive, I’m standing on a load of
bay."
A tourist, passing through an iso
lated village, stoppeed to speak to a
native. “I should think you find life
here very dreary.’’
“Dreary? I can assure you this is
a pretty lively place for its siae.”
“I should suppose from the looks of
things that nothing ever happened
here.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. Why,
ti’a not been two weeks siace we had
an eclipse of tho moon.”
“I hear that the United States is
trying to annex Ireland."
“How come? What’a the big idea.”
“So we can • raise our own police

Chere are scores in the state.
Camps are provided with running
water, shower baths, and often
with flre~:od, kerosene, garage
service, gasoline stations, and gro

camps I visited a few days ago
charged 86 cents per day for park

rent tents and cottages.
Roads show great improvement
over last year. There are thou
sands of miles of good roads in the
state. You can cross Florida in
less than a day and can traverse
almost the entire length of the
state in eighteen hours.

down the East coast from Jack

road between Jacksonville and Day

The ocean boulevard will con

Augustine. A long boulevard will
follow the great St. John’s River
out of Jacksonville down into St

the Dixie Highway, where it will
turn east to meet that thorough
fare. The new road system will

From Titogville, on .the East

down to Miami. On the way you
strike some beautiful and pictur

South of Ft. Pierce, where it runs
along the palm-lined Indian River,
and crosses the St. Lucie River at
Stuart. There are thousands of
new homes and many new settle
ments along the route. New ga
rages, eating places, and tank sta

modern character and usually built
in attractive architecture. The
spectacle of thousands of cars with
name plates from every part of the
