ADVOCATE SITE FOR THE
I'AHKIX! OF AUTOMOBILES.
In studying the automobile- situa
tion, which hits grown from an Infancy
to a monster Industry hits caused con
dltions to loom up that never were
urennied of In the last few years, es
pcclally in the smaller cities such as
North Platte. The conditions of which
1 speak mainly refer to conjested
streets by the automobiles. It is a
fact that the city council must get
started on an ordinance to handle this
.situation to the satisfaction of all con
cerned. Wo nuiBt have set aside one or
two specified portions of back streets,
paved streets to be selected by the
city council to bo used as a parking
'place for automobllists who wish to
leave thoir cars on streets Instead of
placing them in the garages, which of
course would be very Inconvenient
and also Impracticable as accomiuo
Vlatlons are limited in our city
garages. I am placing this item in
this paper for the purpose of having
this parking Idea thrashed out pro and
con by our citizens and others con
cerned. Now for instance take a look
at our main streets, on most any day
in North Platte, business streets only
Included, and you can see why we
need a parking system. On Saturday
any time during tho day or any other
busy day It is Impossible for any
autolst to get next to the curb to dis
charge tho occupants on account of
autos standing there, probably for
several hours, necessitating the driver
to discharge hi& family from the car
on a cross section which is an unsafe
practice or elso drive up as close as
possible and let the occupants worm
their -way between the conjested autos.
There is no fault to find in an auto
standing flvo or ten minutes to load
his purchases In or family. As It Is
now a tellow can't get within fifteen
feet of the side walk to load his cargo,
and It also makes It very dangerous
for other automobiles. I have noticed
several narrow escapes through some
driver backing out right In the face
of some other machine caused by con-
ested autos next to the curb. He had to
watch his front wheels so as to pre
vent taking part of his neighbor's
car along. Let s prescribe a remedy
for these unfavorable conditions while
the time Is tine, and not wait until
some one has been killed or seriously
Injured or an automobile has been
smashed; not mentioning the many
other advantages to the autolst and
others concerned.
Thanking you for this space.
Yours truly,
V. A. LHIADSHAW.
P. S. The germ has not caught mo
yet for obvious reasons. (I have no
auto) its purely a proper business
suggestion.
81,0011 Automobiles In Nebraska.
In order to meet tho unprecedented
demand for automobile license mini
hers In Nebraska Secretary of the
State Poolo has been compelled to or
dor two extra lots of 10,000 eacli of
number plates for the current year
Ho ordered 70.000 to start with, that
being 11.000 more than were issued
in 1915. These soon ran out and an
other 10,000 were sent for. Now this
supply has almost been exhausted and
10,000 m'oro have been secured, milk
ing K0.000 in all, an increase of GS
per cent over last year.
"There appears to be no let up in
the demand for automobiles, says
Secretary Pool.. The department is
sued during the month of June I5.914
licenses on automobiles and 250 on
motorcycles. Up to July 1 there had
been issued for 191G a grand total of
S0.958 automobile licenses and 15.266
motorcycle licenses. The expense of
operating the automobile department
for the month of June which includes
salaries, postage, books and printing,
extra help, telephone- and telegraph
and office supplies, amounted to only
$719.47.

Animals We Never Met.
Dr. N. A. Cobb, an authority on
zoology, declnres that there must bo
hundreds of thousands of species or
neomntodos. or threadworms, more
than nine-tenths of which arc still un
'mown to science. Of the pnrasltlc
.iematodes Infesting vertebrate mil
raals alone It Is estimated that there
are at least 80,000 siecks. Insects,
raollusks. crustaceans and other animal
groups nro also much Infested, and as
n rule a given species of nematode Is
peculiar to a single Bpecles of host.
Lastly, tho species of nematode living
free In soli and water vastly outnuni
bers tho parasitic species. As these
creatures arc enormously prolltle. tho
number of Individuals must be quite
beyond conception. Dr. Cobb estimates
that In the upper foot of an arable soil
the number of nematodes runs to thou
sands of millions an acre. Exchange.

Panama Canal Chains.
Tho huge locks of the Panama cnnal
nro guarded by massive chains stretch
cd across the channel. No vessel can
crash Into the rulw at any of the locks
because of tbeso fenders, plnccd seven
ty feet from each gate and near tho
surface of the water. If the chains
are struck bv a boat they gradually
yield to tho force, paying out to a ccr
tain distance, which depends upon the
violence of the Impact.
The mechanisms which regulate tho
chain fenders are installed on either
wall. A system of hydraulic cylinders
Is used for raising and lowering the
chains. The action of the fender when
struck by a boat Is modified In part by
the friction produced In the machinery,
but innlnly by the resistance produced
hp water flowing through valves.

Bathing.
Authorities may vary In dis
cussing the merits of tho hot
bath, the tepid bath nud tho cold
bath, but they nil agree In the
abstract that bathing ls neces
sary to good health. The remov
al from tho Bkln of the accumu
lation of refuse matter ls the pri
mary reason for tho bath.
A bath should not bo taken too
near mealtime. There Is a nor
mal attraction of the blood to
ward tho stomach after eating.
Any interference with this and
tho attraction of tho blood to
ward tho surfaco of tho body ls
npt to arrest digestion.
Warm baths have a soothing
effect nnd often aro prescribed
for nervousness. Tho tepid bath
can do no harm. Cold baths are
stimulating, but apt to bo In
jurious If tho heart action ls not
Ktrong enough to permit of a
ready reaction. To somo Individ
uals tho shock to tho twrvoua
system to so great that thtry can
not accustom themsclvis to cold
baths.

Pigeons In Constantinople
In no big city In the world are there
so many tame pigeon as In Constanti
nople. In many squnrcs In Loudon
there are huuiII Hocks of pigeons, but
In the Turkish capital they nre to be
seen by the thousand. These pigeons
nre sacred, and. Indeed, many a
wealthy Turk leaves money to be de
voted to buying food for them. The
story f why they nre sacred ls rather
Interesting. When Mohammed, tho
Turkish prophet, was Hying from his
enemies he hid In a cavern. At the
mouth of the cavern two pigeons built
their nest, so tradition runs, whllo
across the entrance n spider spun its
web. The soldiers who came along
HOiuu da.Vs later felt certain thnt no one
had entered tho cave, seeing the birds
nesting and the spider's web, and so
never troubled to enter it nud search
Ever since then the Turks have held
pigeons hihI spiders to be sacred.

Gifts of the Grass.
The grass Is missed only by Its ab

which is minus a green lawn or grassy
plot In front we exclaim, "What a blot

we realize that the grass gives tone
and color to outdoor life as nothing
else can; that no picture Is couipleto
without It. All tho beauties of tho
seashore the bold rocks, the crested
surf, the dashing waves, the lights
and shadows which play nt sunrise nnd
