I Free for All Please Page Mr. McCarl APPRECIATE your remark in The Outlook for September 1 with regard to economy, "For Comptroller-General McCarl it is apparently as simple as A B C." My husband was an American Consul. He died in November, 1925. His accounts were "settled" February 2, 1926. "Settled" does not mean "paid." It means that the amount due has been determined and the certificate sent to the Comptroller-General. It is still unpaid, and does not bear interest. The Department of State refers me to the Comptroller-General. My letters to the Comptroller-General are not acknowledged. CLEMMA B. CHASE I (Mrs. Benjamin F. Chase). Sparks and Mountains HAVE been very much interested in reading Mr. Charles B. Roth's article on "Road Rules for the Mountains" in The Outlook for August 4, as I have done about 75,000 miles of mountain driving. However, he makes one statement on which I differ with him. Mr. Roth says: "In using compression on the down-grades it is not necessary to turn the switch of the motor to 'off.' The motor running does no harm nor does shutting it off do any good." Mr. Roth will find that if he does turn the switch to "off" he will get far more braking power, for the reason that with the switch on you get no actual compression-few throttles are so tight that, when closed, no gasoline is admitted to the cylinders-and the braking power is due to what might be called the inertia of the engine. With the spark off, the engine acts very similarly to an air compressor and there is actual compression, in addition to the inertia of the engine. Furthermore, in mountain driving there is the additional advantage that this cools the engine. To show that one does get considerable braking power in this manner, I would say that I drove one of my cars over 30,000 miles, using compression down-hill. before it was necessary to reline the foot brake. Mr. Roth does not mention what is, to my mind, the greatest danger in mountain driving. That is the "tenderfoot" who, because of fear of going over the bank, drives on the inside of the road, regardless of whether it is the right or left side. E. G. DEANE.

WANTED-Reliable woman for cooking SITUATIONS WANTED EVERAL examples of Mark Twain's humor are recalled in a recent article in the "Mentor:" "One Sunday morning, during his early married life in Buffalo, Mark Twain noticed smoke pouring from the upper window of the house across the street. The owner and his wife, comparatively newcomers, were seated upon the veranda, unaware of impending danger. Clemens stepped briskly across the street and bowing with leisurely politeness, said: 'My name is Clemens; we ought to have called on you before, and I beg your pardon for intruding now in this informal way, but your house is on fire.'' "The Clemens home at Hartford was next door to that of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mark Twain and the author of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' were the best of neighbors. Mrs. Stowe was leaving for Florida one morning, and Clemens ran over early to On his return Mrs. Clemens say good-by. regarded him disapprovingly: 'Why, Youth,' she said, 'you haven't on any collar and tie.' "He said nothing, but went up to his room, did up these items in a neat package, and sent it to Mrs. Stowe by a servant, with a line: 'Herewith receive a call from the rest of me.'" "Brederin', we must do something to remedy de status quo," said a Negro preacher to his congregation. "Brudder Jones, what am de status quo?" asked a member. "Dat, my brudder," replied the preacher, "am de Latin for de mess we'se in." From the Philadelphia "Inquirer:" "Why do you rise so early in the morning?" "I have to get downtown early in order to find a parking place for my car." "But do you not then have a good deal of time hanging on your hands?"

A masterpiece in description is that line of Abe Martin's, "Well, I don't know how t' describe him 'cept t' say that he looks like a feller that would go up on th' stage if a magician asked him." From "Punch:" We sometimes wonder which fellow-passenger is the more irritating, the one th tries to read the back of our paper or e one that won't hold his paper still for us to read."
