Unusual Story Told
By Pageland Lady
The following unusual story is
credited to the Pageland Journal,
and ib from the pen of Edna V.
Kunderburk. The Chronicle ha*
ixude diligent effort to ftnd the Mrs.
Klla Williams, of Camden, mentiunep
in the 'atory, but have been unablo
to ,locate her:
"We read of strange things that
happen away off from ua and wonder I
sometimes if they are true. It bus]
been said that truth is stranger than I
[fiction and so when we dig up a I
story of unusual occurrence that hap-1
pens right at our doors it makes 1
most interesting reading. I think 11
have found a story of that kind. It I
is the story of the life of a woman I
whom many of us have known for the!
I most of our lives. She is the wife of J
George Iainey.a man who has lived 1
in this section all of frm life. j
; "Margaret Taylor, known to us a? 1
Mag Laney, was tjpfinr4 in Lancaster 1
| county near Taxahaw, S. C,, some-1
thing over 50 years ago. Her mother I
was left helpless with several chil-1
drer\ and her health broken during I
the trying years of reconstruction of I
the South. Mag was a little over 1
two years old when her mother hav-1
ing had to give her other childvenj
away, took Mag and went with her J
to the Lancaster Comity home. There J
her mother died and Mr. and Mrs. I
Doc Carnes, of Lancaster county, who J
ha?r~~no children Cfcdopted her and 1
reared her. /During all these years I
she did not know that she had a ?is- I
ter living. So some time during last I
year she learned by chance and most 1
unexpectedly to her that she had a I
sister living in Camden. The sister's I
n^me is Mrs. Ella Williams. She I
keeps a boarding house in Camden, S. I
C., and is doing well financially. She
is 66 years of age.
"She has visited Mag several times 1
since she found her and brought her
many useful and beautiful presents.
"WtT cdn imagine the joyful frteunion
of sisters after a separation of
54 years. Mag says she loves her
better every time she sees her. We
are truly glad for them that they
have found each other."

Model t ford
is still
r
a good car
THE Mod?l T Ford led the motor industry for IwwUjf
years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and cron
omy. Those aaido reasons continue to make h a good car.
As a matter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the automobiles
in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of
them can be driven two, three and even five more years
with reasonable care and proper replacements. Figures
show that the average life is seven years.
Don't sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take It to
the Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of
putting itvfn A1 shape. A very small expenditure may ha
the means of giving yon thousands of miles of additional
service. ~ *.
For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your
motor and transmission completely overhauled. This
I price includes new bearings, reboring cylinders and any
other work necessary. Parts are extra.
Valves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to
I (4. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6.
I The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $4.50
| to $5?rear axle assembly, $5.75 to $7.
New universal Joint will be installed for a labor aharga
of $3. Brake shoes relined for $1.50. Rear spring and
B perches rebnshed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling
I the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of approximately
$2i0 covers the overhauling of the generator.
It will pay yon, therefore, to see your Ford dnhr
and hare him pot your Model T fat good running order.
I By doing so you will protect and maintain the Ipiiajb
ment yon have Jn your ear and get months and years of
reliable transportation at a very low cost per mite.

MEN ARE SAFER THAN I
WOMEN AS DRIVERS
Facts Established During
Year's Tests.
Washington.?The perennial family I
argument as to whether man or women
drivers net Into more automobile I
accidents can at lust be backed ui> 1
with some facts und figures that Indl-1
cute mix diltcreuues. I
Hecords of man and wouiuii taxi
cub drivers In a Penusylvunlu elty I
huve been watched for an entire year I
by Dr. Morris Vltelcs uud Helen M. I
Gardner of the Uulverslty of Peun- J
sylvunia.
The results, reported In the I'erson* 1
nel Journal, show that the woman I
taxi drivers were responsible for three I
times as many accidents as uien.j
though, Judging by claims following I
uccldents, the women were more sue-1
ccssful in keeping out of serious I
trouble. V.
These men und women operated the J
same kind of cur uud all equipment I
was regularly overhauled. Both drove I
la stormy weather and In the suine I
truffle conditions. I
Women Were Lees experienced. |
The iiiehr*ltOwever, were more ex- J
perleuced, on the whole, than the
women, for some of the women were I
not experienced drivers when hired, I
but were given a thorough course of I
training anil Immediately placed on J
cabs. This would seem to be au Im* I
portent psychological factor, but the I
toxical) company records could not I
be kept In such detail as to show J
whether the new driver offsets luex-1
perieuce with excessive caution or
whether this caution oversteps the I
mark and leads to an excessive num- J
her of cases of collisions. j
About 2,000 men drivers were <on
the employment rolls ut a time and I
about forty women. The men drove I
28,431,710 miles. In the year ttnd had I
7,311 accidents. The women drove I
348,079 miles und had 208 accidents. |
In terms of revenue the women had 1
three and one-half times as many ac- J
| cldents per thousand dollars as the I
' men. J
Women Dodge Accident Claims.
A speclul study of accident costs In I
one representative month showed that I
there were 101 claims in the accidents I
of man drivers and four claims hs I
cases Involving woman drivers. The I
claims indicate that women got Intel
less serious mlxups than the men, for I
the total cost ef claims against then I
was $14,606, as compared with $751
against woman drivers.
The psychologists conclude that the I
figures from the study "favor the I
point of view that the present generation
of woiban drivers is more susceptible
to accidents tban the present
generation of man drivers."
They also state: "The extent to 1
which this Is the result of relative
Inexperience in driving or of a sex- I
determined difference In susceptlbll- 1
ity to accidents in traffic cannot be I
finally determined from an examination
of the present data. The fact,
however, that a sampling of women
suffer more accidents when driving
under the same conditions as a somewhat
similar sampling of mea is
clearly established."
Seeks to Minimize
Tin in Silk Dresses
State College, Pa.?Silken dresses
already are light In weight, but they
may be made even lighter through research
started by Miss Winifred Mather
Forbes Pennsylvania State college.
She Is Investigating the amount of
metal necessary for weighting silken
garments to enable them to keep their
form. Tin is used often for this purpose.
Excessive weighting Is said to,
shorten the life of the fabric. Dresses
ranging in price-from $6 to $12 sometimes
carry more than 50 per cent of
their weight In tin.
Miss Forbes' work will be under a
fellowship awarded by the textile section
of the American Home Economics
association.
French to Demonstrate
Value of Air Ambulance
Washington.?The airplane, which
has already proved Its worth as a
passenger, mall and express carrier,
is now to become an ambulance. An
International congress will assemble
In Paris next May to consider air
transportation of sick and Injured in
both military anil civil life, the Commerce
department has been advised
by Its representative there. Actual
demonstration of the airplane ambulance
will be given at Le Bourget
field where a pseudo patient will be
bundled 'aboard, carried to some provincial
village, and returned.

Play Ball
Very few people know it, but I
useter be manager of a ba>< ball
team. This was 'way back y? .der
\\hen baseball was rather new, und
petticoats were being worn 4-d<t>p,
I ha<i 8 players on my nine. Our
leuguo was a 4-way league, that is,
we had 4 teams in it, as follows;
The Mudcuts, the Polecats, The Hull
Dogs, und The Wildcats. My team
was known as the Mudcats and they
nearly always won the pennant, but
it wasn't called that then.
We played a circle diumont. The
pitcher stood on the second base,
and pitched und handled that mound
too. Our di&mont being round, the
bases were a little closer to one
another than the new style diumont
bases. Our season usually opened
just as soon as crops were laid-by.
And it closed just before fodderpulling
time. We generally played
ab<tut i) mutch games pt^r season.
We played what you might ,call a
World's Record game once. It was
the opening game of the season and
was supposed to be a double-header,'
but it turned out to be less than a
single-header. The game was ^caljod
ut 1 o'clock sharp, but as nobody had
a watch, I am sure it was ubout 1 >5
p. m. when the magistrate of the
township tossed the first ball. A'e
played with all the venom common to
country players, and had not got to
the third ending when the sun went
down aud us we lost the ball 'about
that time, the game was called, the
empire claiming that he had a right
to call the game until the ball was
found. .,
We had 2 men to keep the tallies,
one for each team. They marked the
tallies in the big road, one tallykeeper
going north and the other
tally-keeper going sou^b, a? the 1
tallies were made. The tally murker I
for the visitors was a rascal from
center to circumference. One of our
watchers caught him [jutting down 3
tallies for a single home run, and
after the fight was over, we took up
playing again. The last time I saw
my tally-keeper he was out of sight
down the road and. we had to send
runners to tell him when one of our
boys had scored. tWe ran 4 little
IfeHBBKSSasaSSHMnHMMRAjainHKMBBIHBBB
fellows put nigh to death keeping up
with the record*.
Well, we began playing off the
previous tiny'a game at about b o'clock
the next morning. The score stood
315 to 344, but as a had rained the I
night before and washed arway a few
of both sides' tallies, we culled it a 1
draw hiuI went ??n. We were delayed '
an hour along about noun: one of the
players had carelessly carried the bat
to the spring with him und forgot it,
hut time wasn't hanging heavy on
our hands; we had our dinners along.
My team won that contest by exactly
21 tallies. Those were great game*
ami were enjoyed by all. I still like
busebull, but they don't seem to leave
the pep in them that they had when
I was a playing.
Table Ma line ra
1. After being seated, poke the
table napkin down beneath your col|
lar, but bt- careful not to press the
same too hard against your goozJer
so's you can swallow without making
too much noise.
2. If while eating soup, you should
squirt a mouthful aorost the table
into the laps of the guests, first wipe
| your mouth, und suy: *'Oh, do please
I excuse me: 1 didn't know the darned
( stuff was so hot."
I 3. If you find 3 knives and 3
forks and 3 spoons parked around
your plate, put 2 knives and 2 forks
and 2 spoons in your pocket, and
take them home with you. That is ;
what they are put there for, judging 1
from the number such urticlos toted!
off from time to time.
4. Don't reach for anything further
than 4 feet und (i inches from ,
you. It is a sign of ill-breeding to
do so. If nobody won't puss you
nothing, get up and wnttc"'around the
table and get it for yourself.
5. If you should happen to spill j
gravy on your vest, take a soft piece
of lightbread und sop it off before it
gets dry, but you don't hafter to eat
that sop unless you think best to do
so. Try not to belch while eating
collards, as the lady might think you
don't like her cooking.
6. JBe careful about your table
language. If some one asks you to
havo$omething that you have already
had too much of, say?"No, thanks
I am very well hope." And if a dish
that you don't like is passed to you,
you should politely say, with a smile:
"No, no. I wouldn't choose none just
1f> ?
.. u ? ? 1
1 at Che present."
. 7. Don't piok your teeth ut the
, table, hut wait till you get buck into
I the setiing-room, and never suck
them in it whistling manner, but If
you think something must be done
atx.ut ti e matter, and you can't wait,
just tuke them out of your mouth
and put tht vn in your pocket.
8. A host should never eat more
than a guest eats, ami butter should
be cut with the butter knife that is
already on the butter dish, and not
with the knife you have been eating
with, as it might carry germs from
your njoulh to sqpiebody else's mouth.
If you break a cup ami saucer, don't
otTtn to pay for them. Thut's the
loss of the person with whom you'^
are visiting.
