In the age of inventions, here we have an invention that was long over- due’and to which we respectfully cail the attention of all automobile drivers, professional or amatbur. It i8 a warn- ing. It was conceived in the brain of a railway clerk who has been for some time under the magic influence of the slogan, “Batety First.” ' st ~Gréen D, Poole,’a young South Carolinian, is thé inventor of this-au- tomobile accessory to which we refer. It is a simple arrangement, but, if used by many drivers, will wdrk toward an elimination of wreckage on the highways and byways of this and other states. It is,—but we will let Mr. Poole explain the invention in his own picturesque language: “While the car is running fifteen miles an hour a white bulb shows on the ra- diator, at twenty miles a ‘green bulh appears, at forty a red bulb, and when the driver bdkins to bat "em out around sixty per, a music box under the seat begins to play ‘Néarer My God, to Thee.” ™ With the exception of a wireless “8. 0. 8. signal for help when the:| car attains a speed of seventy miles an hour, in the event the driver does not hear the dulcet strains of the sacred hymn mentioned, Mr. Poole’s | invention is° complete, We do not hesitate to offer it for the approval of all those young men, and old, who love to open the throttle as wide as it can be apened and hit everything but the saw-dust trail.

If he inches forward, he then ceases to be a “fixed phm"' and unless “Squad Right” is per(ormefl upon a fixed pivot, the squads will not fit together properly when a column of squad swings into a company front.

Nos. 2 and 1 place themselves behind- their front rank men likewise. Then all face to the right in marching and Mark Time. The other man of the rear rank—No. 4—moves straight to the front at the side of No. 3 for four paces and places himself abreast of the man on his sight. Each man, as he reaches the new line, glances to- ward the marching flank—that is, those still to come on to the new line —while he Marks Time, and when the last man arrives on the line, both ranks proceed with “Forward March,” For the guidance of the Squad members;. the ‘movement has been worked out in:six counts—at the quick time cadence of 120 steps a minute—from the command “March.”” In other words, if each man will per- form his appointed task wdile count- ing six, including the Marking Time, the squad will be ready to advance in the new direction upon the sixth count. “Squads Left” is, of course, exe- cuted as above with the fourth man in the fromt rank as the fixed pivot. Now, in order completely to re- and the direction of march, “Squads Right (Left) About” is executed. At this command, thg pivot man (No. 1 front rank) execlutes "Squad Right” twice. ‘—Conde B.

To the Editor of the Herald: = We are all gradually becoming ac- customed to paying all the way from twice to four times as much for things.as they are actually worth, but it surely seems a pity ;that the spirit of graft has even spread its shadow over Mother's Day. No more beauti- ful custom was ever established than the setting aside of one day each year in honor not only of our own in- dividual mothers but “of universal motherhood. * The white carnation was chosen as the symbolic flower for this occasion, and many a child has saved five precious pennies with which to purchase one of these flow- ers for his mother. This year many of these children wer'e doomed to heartache and disap- pointment because not even ten pen- nies would buy n carnation. This was not because the ticwers cost the flor- ist any more, but because he, like the rest of the world, was not content to make an ordinary profit, when the posaibllity of doubling his money lay: within his power.: In fac he mo; ‘tha.n doubled ft, for carnations werrn: from sixty cents a dozen to a dollar {and a half. As a result, the carna- ‘tlons went to the mothers of the jrich, and the 'other "mothers,—the ones who sacrifice their lives for their ‘homes and loved ones‘—accepted the Ilpirlt of love from their cblldren, without"any flowers as tangible evie dence of that love. Does it not seem a pity that even motherh d | is not sufficiently sacred to exclp clutches of Graft? B. 8. . SAVING THE FLAG. Grand Army Man Has Old Glory Res~ To the Editor of the Herald: Saturday afternoon while sitting s - the window ‘in the:club room of Stafi< ley Post, in looking across the streef ; I saw what appeared to me an. Amer- . ican flag on the outer edge of the lower roof of the. building and, als though I saw a number of persons at the windows from where the flag could be seen, no efforts were-made to take it in. At this time one 'of our state militia boys happened to come along who, as I found out lates, was Corp. Con Anderson of Co, First regiment, C. N. G. I halled him and after explaining matters to him; he thanked me for calling his attena ™ tion to it and said he would attend to 1§ at once. Soon after I saw him open ong of the windows and at considerabla persona] risk worked hig. way to tha edge of the roof and rescued the flag from its disgraceful place. As no one in the building claimed ownership he brought it over and left it in my charge, it being soaking wet and cov- ered ‘with mud. It made my heart ache to see Old Glory in that condi- tion. The flag is a very large one, and appears to have been torn from its fastening by the strong wind we have had lately and carried on thq ! roof. The owner can have it by calling * at the club room of Stanley Post any afternoon. Respectfully, WILLIAM F. STERNBERG, P. C. Stanley Post No. 11, G. A.
