Editor Times
1t is time some action Is taken
Iby the authorities with reference
to the protection of the public
from unframed and reckless auto
drivers.
On every thoroughfare in the
country countless autos are driven
daily without regard for the
safety Of pedestrians.
If there Is law governing the
lspeed of these vehicles, why is 1t
not enforced?
We saw an account of the kill
ing of a man a few days ago by
am automobile and the driver was
inexperienced. Is 1t a fact that
lsuch an excuse will be exoneration
flor such a crime?
L A law should be passed that
would forever debar a person from
running an auto who would go
into a public thoroughfare (unless
under the supervision of trained
chauffeur) to learn to run one.
Let US protect ourselves from
those who have no consideration
for our safety.
Yours respectfully.

TODAY IN HISTORY

April "a, 1862, at an unearth-
ly hour in the morning, the fleet
of Union gunboats tried to run
past Forts Jackson and st. Philip
on the way to New Orleans, some
of whose breakfast dishes were
already famous. The plan was to
slip the gunboats past the forts
in the dark, for it was not a moon
light night, and before daylight
everything was to be over. But
the Johnny rebs were not SO slow
either, for when they could not
see what was happening ON the
river, they lit up some fire-rafts
and after that it was like the
night show of three ring circus
all around the place. There was
a lot of poor shooting done that
morning or some one would have
been badly hurt.

It also stops the hair from falling out, and makes it beauti- ful.
 All druggists are authorized to re- fund the money. if it fails to do ex- actly as represented.
