Perhaps II is not energy or proud ambi-

I'm wondering If It may be a dearth OF

I know a maiden who appears to have q

been viewing earthly scenes;
She has a fondness for green peas that
she does not attempt to hide.
Yet no man ever on his knees has for her

Within her breast romance may surge-I

But no one ever stops to urge her to for

AUTO A DANGEROUS WEAPON

AUTO A DANG EROUS WEAPON"
Judge McAdoo OF New York, in an
address at Chicago, characterized the
automobile as a dangerous weapon"
so easily is it employed by thieves
and bandits in perpetrating their
crimes. Recent heinous crimes com
mitted in Chicago and elsewhere by
automobile bandits justify Judge Nc
Adoo's declaration that the gasoline
car is a dangerous weapon. and en-
phasize the recommendation of the
Judge that there should be stricter
laws governing the character and the
employment of men who act as chauf-
leurs.
The details OF laws 20 lessen or pre-
vent the use Of automobiles by crimi-
nails will have to be carefully consid-
cred. Judge McAdoo proposes some
precautions that should be empoyed,
among them the requirement that IL
censed chauffeurs be compelled 10
make their finger prints on cards for
fling with the authorities.
Whatever methods to lessen the fire.
queucy OF using the automobile for
criminal purposes are enacued into
law, they should be well considered
and made as effective as possible.

Brighter, better and funnier than
ever, Coburn's Greater Minstrels de-
lighted an audience which packed
the New Daytona theater last night
and sustained the reputation they
have always held of bringing the
best in the entertainment line to
Daytona each season. Charles Gano
is as funny as ever and the addition
of Nicodemus Glynn gives Manager
Coburn two of the best fun makers
in minstrelsy to head a company Of
exceptionally clever singers, dancers,
vaudevillians and comedians. The
clever dancing of Ed Fisher and
George Stokes made a big hit with
the audience, the comedy musical act
of Glynn and Dillworth was one of
the best things of the kind ever
seen in Daytona, the comedy aero
battle act of LaRaub and Scottie was
cleverly carried out and the singing
of the University Four brought out
harmony highly pleasing. The big
Coburn show will be repeated at
the New Daytona theater tonight,
to give those who were unable to
attend last night an opportunity to
witness the performance.
