law against reckless and negligent
driving, it might be easier to make
arrests and convictions of those who
deserve it. We ask you to carefully
consider this last proposition.
The letter is signed by James T..
Drought, George A West. J. F.
Szukalski, and Phil. A. Grau legisla
tive committee of the Milwaukee
Automobile club.
The bill enclosed is as follows:
A Nearly Ideal Bill.
Section 1. No person shall operate
an automobile Or other vehicle upon
or along any public highway at a rate
of speed greater than is reasonable
and proper, having regard to the
width, traffic thereon at the time, the
use of the highway, and the general
and usual rules of the road. or SO as
to endanger any property or the life
or limb of any person; provided that
in case the driving of such vehicle
shall result in injury to person or
property a rate of speed in excess of
Is miles per hour within the corporate
limits of any city or rate
of speed in excess of 25 miles per
hour outside the corporate limits of
any city. shall be prima facle evidence
of negligence.
Section 9 4ny person who shall
operate an automobile or other motor
vehicle along or upon any public high
way in culpably negligent or reck-
less manner, having regard to the
traffic and use of the highway, or in
any manner so as to endanger any
property or the life or limb of any
person shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $50 for the first offense;
provided, that in case of second
conviction of the same person the
punishment shall be by fine not ex-
ceeding $100, or by Imprisonment for
term of not more than ten days;
provided further. that in case of
third and subsequent conviction of
the same person the punishment shall
be by a fine not exceeding $3.50, or by
imprisonment for term of not more
than SO days
This essentially is the law now in
some of the New England states. 1t
is BASED on the good theory that, if
autoists are in any particular reck-
less. they become liable to punish
ment, no matter how slow they may
be running. This theory is based on
the fact that even a rate of six miles
an hour may be reckless in a city or
under certain circumstances in the
country whereas 40 would not be on
rural road with not a team Or per
haps a habitation in sight What is
wanted by all reasonable citizens is
the power to nab and penalize the
careless motorist whenever and wher-
ever he is caught doing a reckless
stunt. That is the whole spirit Of
the proposed act.

REAL HISTORY OF PoDuNk.
Connecticut Town Named From Tribe
OF Indians Now Extinct

Hartford Times-Look on any
good map of Connecticut and you see
the river Podunk, which runs for
miles trough the towI of South Win
sor and empties into the Connecticut
just over the line in East Hartford
The Podunk is not a brook 1t affords
a good water power for the mills at
Pleasantville and the stream does
not run dry in the summer.
Since We have begun to tell about
POdunk river we may as well add the
facts that in this town, through which
the POdunk flows, were born Jona-
than Edwards, oliver Wolcott and
John Fitch. the latter the father Of
all steam navigation, whose first
thoughts of what might be accom-
plished by putting an engine into a
| boat no doubt came to him while, as
a youthful clockmaker, he wandered
along the shores of the Podunk full
| century and half ago. He was born
/ in January, 1743
Podunk, Conn, is the place to
which to send all letters fro Podunk
people, where the name of the state
/ is not given. There is no other Po-
dunk anywhere which can hold a can
die" to this Podunk that we all know
about here.
In fact, our Connecticut Podunk Is
the originar article, and all others
are mere imititions
After the Englishmen under the
! lead of Winthrop, who were deter
mined to be Americans, arrived IN
Salem in 1880 one of the first Indian
! chiefs who came from the backwoods
to made their acquaintance was Wah-
/ quinnacut, who went to Boston ID
! 1881 to see them, and he is said to
/ have belonged to the Windsor tribes,
or Podunks.
Podunk signifies the place of fire
or place of burning, from 'potaw =
fire, and 'unck' place offence Pc
I taunk. or PodUnk, or Potunk. None
of the historians intimates that it was
an Indian synonym for hades, but II
/ certainly meant a hot place It Is
/ also made clear in their ancient his
+ tories tat the Podunks were great
/ fighters, or hot stuff" in the vernac-
ular of today. None of them was
/ ever converted to Christianity.
+ The Podunks owed their gradual
+ extinction to their bitter feuds with
! the Monawks down the river. Sixteen
or more of the Podunks were killed
at one time in Mohawk ambuscade.
A remnant of the tribe existed in
East Windsor in 1745, but had quite
disappeared in 1860, says DR.. Stiles,
who also says that it was somewhere
In the Podunk wilds Of Windsor hat
Miantonomah, the great Narragansett
chief, met his death at the hands or
! Uncas, his Mohican conqueror. prob.
ably Sept. %, 1913.
Uncas was a mighty man of war
and sent his son Oneko over into the
/ Nlpmuck country, Massachusetts, on
raid about 1860. The Nipnucks
4 were trimmed on that occasion in
great shape. This happened in what
/ is now the town of Brookfield. The
1 settlers from Ipswich got there about
that time and found that a meadow
at the head of Quabaug pond was
called Podunk and the name has last
ed, although it does not appear that
any of the Podunk tribe of Indians
ever lived there. For Podunk history
/ you must come to Connecticut. and
| there is plenty of it
