What Becomes of “Nerves”?
But what about “nerves”? It is a
curious fact that driving an automo-
bile, instead of being a source of wor-
ry and fear, ofte en produces a healthy,
confident mental attitude. Many
and drivers are
nade men and who are
timid about riding
somebody else drives, A new sense of
power, the vision of almost unlimited
possibilities for self Improvement,
seem to go along with the mastery of
driving principles, The steering wheel
of a motor car has led many out of a
morbid, imaginative world into the
normal world of reality and well
being.
Old Law] Holds Inn for
Theft of an Automobile
In olden days in England when inns
were remote and highwaymen were
mpant it was not uncommon for the
rob bers and the innkeepers to be in
league, so laws were passed holding
innkeepers responsible for the safety
of guests and their goods.
These laws still stand, and figured
in the loss of an automobile valued
at £267, stolen from the parking
place of the Bridge House hotel
at Staines. Alexander Dixon Aria, a
banker's agent, contended that by the
innkeepers’ act the common law of
England was applicable.
Justice Swift pointed out that the
law had been framed for hundreds of
years, that under it an innkeeper was
liable for the safety of his guests and
such of their property as came into
his =ustody, and the jury found for
the plaintiff In the case.

In fact, lime may be applied two or

If, however, one wishes to seed a

he can get good effects by applying
his lime several weeks In advance.

Muddy Potatoes Should
Be Dried Before Storing
Muddy potatoes should be dried so
that they may be sorted before place
ing In winter storage. Rotting pota-
toes are hard to detect while covered
with mud, and herein lies the chief
danger of storing muddy potatoes,
This year many of the potatoes are
being dug out of the mud. The opin-
fon that muddy potatoes will not keep
in storage is unfounded. In the
Andean highlands of South America,
its native babitat, the potato tubers
are stored naturally In the soll all

In tests at the Ohlo experiment
station, John Bushnell, potato spe-
clalist, has found that sound potatoes
keep equally well whether stored
muddy or dried first. However, un-
less only sound tubers are stored the
rots may spread during storage.
It is better, therefore, to dry and
gort muddy potatoes before placing
them In winter storage. If spread

making It easy to sort the tubers
when moving them from the drying
