ENFORCEMENT OF
SPEED LAWS LAX
Fred B. Smith Offers Suggestions for
Bringing the Auto Scorchers
To Time.

The Times editorial on the killing
OF 13-year-old Gerald Smith, OF
Crosse Pointe, by an automobile, al
Woodward and Warren-aves. a few
days ago, appears TO have met the
approval OF a large number of De-
ttroit citizens, especially those who
have children. That a more rigid en-
forcement OF the laws and ordinances
relative to automobiles Is necessary
is generally conceded, and TO this end
some valuable suggestions have been
made.
Il believe that owners and drivers
of automobiles realize that IL is to
their interest as well as TO the interest
OF the public generally to have the
laws and ordinances enforced" said
Frederick Is. Smith. president OF the
Wolverine Manufacturing Co. Il
heartily, subscribe to what The Times
has to say on the subject. II has &C.
CURED TO me that one way to remedy
existing conditions would be to have
all police officers. not only those de-
tailed for this special purpose but
every officer on the force, report VIC
lations that come TO his notice TO the
commissioner. Then let the COM
missioner write letter To the
offender, warning him that a repeti
tion of it would mean prosecution
If such a plan were but in operation
think conditions would change very
quickly. If drivers inclined to- exceed
the speed limit or drive on the wrong
side of the street knew that they
could not do SO without running the
risk of being seen by a policeman
and reported, they would naturally be
more careful.
Those OF us who have children

To strike or not to strike is the
Question 10 be decided by the street

voting will take place in st. Andrews
hall and while the conservative men
in the organization are almost unani-

newer members OF the union
The situation was fully discussed in
two big meetings held in the Knights

ersl OF the leaders who addressed the
street car workers told them in effect
TO vote for a strike, but added that
there was little Likelihood OF a strike

MAUD SLEEPS FOR
SAKE OF SCIENCE
Vicariously She Folds Her Long Ears
and Surrenders a Martyr To Ex-
pertinent on Sleeping Sickness.

BALTIMORE, April T. Maud-not
Maud Muller nor Maude Adams, but
just plain Maud, the long-eared, four
footed hee-haw artist-lies peacefully
slumbering in her quarters just adj
jacent to the pathological laborator-
les of the Johns Hopkins Medical
school. And thereby hangs a tale
(t-a-l-e). No reference is made to
Maudo's appendage.
Maud, be 1t known, is today the
heroine, the martyr, of the animal
world. From a humble station in life
where existence was just one cart
load after another she has surrender
ed her life, her all. to be used in the
interests of generations of mules and
other things yet to come. Fen though
Maud may never awaken from her
present slumber, there is a possibility
of her name, already sung by the
poets and scandalized by the cartoon
lists, becoming one of the shining
beacons In the history of the world.
The evolution of Maud from obliv-
ion to her present exalted station is

who is trying to unravel the myster-
les of the much-talked-of sleeping sick
hess. DR.. Abel declares that so far
his work is entirely in the expert
mental stage. and he declines to tell
just what he has discovered up TO
this time. He states, however, that
the variety of sleeping sickness that
is under his observation is not that
which afflicts the so-called human be-
ing, hence those afflicted with spring
fever need look for no relief.
1t may be a little tough on Maud
to insinuate that she is not human
after all she is putting up with to
make the experiments a success. but
that is what DR.. Abel stated this
morning when seen by a spring fever
victim. Incidentally. this was all that
the Doctor would impart, for he de-
clared that any report of what he was
doing was uncalled for as the public
could not be interested in a technical
research, and he himself was EN-
phatically" opposed to any premature
discussion of such questions in the
newspapers.
