AUTOMOBILE SPEED
With Some Exceptions. the Liniit |:
Exceeded, to the Detriment and the
Menace Of the People.

I'm tie automobile is evidenced the
marked progress of Che century 1t i,
strictly an up-to-date construction o.
which many good things may be said ir
| its favor The misfortune in many in
stances is chat the enthusiast Becomes
reckless and drives his auto az speed
exceeding the limit fixed by hwo which
lis eight miles an hour.
To say the ieast, the speed % eight
miles is rather too swift when an auto
| is being propelled through crowded
streets. That more accidents have not
occurred would seem providential.
A few days since representative OF
The Caucasian. when standing near Che
postoffice. noted the Bare escape of a
boy being run down by an auto as h
was crossing the street.
Ct was Thursday night when a boy
was run down and escaped with slight
bruises
II was several weeks since when a
representative of The Caucasian, in
crossing the streee going towards Che
opera house, that he was almost brushed
aside by an auto which was toot-tooted
as it speeded swiftly by 70 was dark
the auto was not lighted. nor did the
occupants seem to care if they ran into
somebody. The Caucasian man was
transfxed in his steps by his narrow
escape from this reckless speed of ehis
automobile
1t is about time the ordinance in force
should be brought into activity. The
auto is entitled to some consideration
and to some of the street, but not to al
of it. The pedestrian has some privileges
which the auto must respect
The Council has been petitioned to ex-
tend the limit frm eight to twelve miles
| From our observation of narrow escape:
and Our experience of barely being rur
over, we would suggest opposition to the
extension Of this limit Indeed thi:
limit should be reduced when the auto
is being driven through the thorough
fares more or less crowded with people
and vehicles.
If any complaint is urged and if the
restriction of speed is directed agains
the auto, it is simply because of the
recklessness and the too fast driving O.
some operators of the auto on tht
streets and over the crossings of thor
oughfares.
The auto enthusiasts will win the cor
dial good will of the people if they will
be more conservative in their driving
and more regardlfull of the rights ant
privileges of pedestrians to streets anc

THIS IS LOCUST YEAR
Views of Prof. Adams of the University
of Arkansas.

1t is probtble that the insect known
as the ''I3 year locust will be visitor
over a large portion of Arkansas, and
particularly the northern part. Parts of
several other States will be troubled in
the same way.
DR.. c. F. Adams, professor of ento-
mology and State Inspector of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, says:
This is locust year The brood
which is to come out this year is one
of the yargest of the I3-year variety,
and it is probably the best known En-
tomologists have been acquainted with it
since 1903, and intimately since 1868. 1t
is known technically as the trecedium
race OF Cicida Septdenicim and famil-
iarly as the periodical cidata The term
locust is misapplied here. The insect
will appear over large part of the
State, but it will honor more especially
the northern half of Arkansas The
northern part of that State, most OF
Missouri and the soutern half of Illi-
nois together will be the stage whereon
this interesting creature will act out the
last year of its peculiar life The re-
mainder of Arkansas, parts of Louis
lana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi
