Definite signals should be arranged between the drivâ€" ers of the towed and towing cars. If the differential gears are locked and the rear wheels will not allow for towing, this may be remedied by takâ€" ing off the rear wheels and removing the keys which hold the wheels to the axle shafts. If one wheel is broken secure a small pole and make a sled runner to take the load off that side of the car. Common sense warns one to be preâ€" pared for accident, even though not expecting it.

The writâ€" er, for himself or for his hero does not care to record what went amiss. tie does not like the picture of a man in perplexity, knowing not whither he shall turn, calling in vain (as it might seem) on his God, his friends and the resources in himself. _ In the standard pattern of the conâ€" ventional lifeâ€"story a man goes from strength to strength.

Fortune favors the brave; the "breaks of the luck" are all his. But in life it is not so. The strugâ€" gler alone knows how long is the batâ€" tle; how often the bitterness of deâ€" spair is his portion.

When you find a really safe spring, take good care to keep it clean, not ‘ only on your own account, but for the sake of others who use it.

Waste \ water should not be thrown into the \sprlng or dumped on the ground nearâ€" \by and all other wastes should be \buried at a depth of about 12 inches below the surface of the ground and at a place lower than the level of the spring. For this purpose a shallow trench should be dug at a safe distance from the camp and the water supply, and as soon as the wastes are depositâ€" ed in the trench they should be coverâ€" ed with soil to a depth of six or eight inches.
