Ban on Gay Walking"
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Out In Kansas City, In the heart OF the
progressive section. they have carried
regulative legislation into the city ordi-
nances 80 that even the way pedestrians
must walk il prescribed by law. And the
law is no respecter Of persons or person
ages. Judge LatshRw OF the criminal
court was reprimanded the other day by
q traffic policeman for jay walking. as II
is termed. The jurist was cutting across
the street corners when the ofiicer ac-
costed him with: Mister. do you live in
Kansas City? Don't you know you can't
walk that way here?" The Judge straight
ened up, threw his shoulders back and for
a second wondered what was wrong in
his style Of locomotion. Then he remem-
bered the city ordinance prohibiting pc
destrians from cutting corners. Several
others have since been arrested for dis
regard OF the law, which prohibits cross
ing the busy streets except at the, cross
ings.
Yet, strangely enough, there does not
seem to be any popular protest against
what many would instinctively regard as
an invasion OF personal liberty. The traf-
fic rules are strictly enforced against
vehicles, motorists and street cars. ana
such accidents as have happened before
this new regulation were caused by pedes-
TRANS cutting corners.

When carbon accumulates so

It forms the best motor yet

The sun-fower, however, attracted

Not that you really thought it was
