Point For Autoists
To Observe Closely.

Don't go out OF your way to violate
the traffic regulations. Repeated vio-
lations compel more rigid restrictions.
Do not abuse your privileges. Your
friends who are obeying the law will
suffer
Don't burn up the pavement with
speed II Is safer TO keep within the
speed regulation and in the long run
more economical for both car and
driver.
Do not allow your motor to get in
such a condition that II will emit
heavy smoke or noxious gases OF va
pors.
Do not park your cars in the vicin-
ity OF FIRE hydrants.
Don't argue with the traffic officer.
II delays others and accomplishes no
thing.
See that lights. license numbers.
brakes and horn are in place and in
proper working order.
Have front and tail lights burning
during the period OF one-half hour af-
ter sunset and one hour before sun
rise.
Obey the orders and signals of
traffic officers. They have absolute
control OF the moving of traffic at
street intersections.
See that your motor is shut on
when your car is left unattended
The Importance OF this Is significant.
Remember Il is better to over obey
the regulations than TO take a chance
on violation. The latter Is punisha

State Highway Engineer A. o. Williams
Predicts Interesting and instrue-
tive Meetings.

The second good roads school IN
West Virginia viii be held in Morgan
town. December / to IL. While in this
city early this week In attendance at
the annual convention OF the West
Virginia Board of Trade. State High
way Engineer A. ID. Williams, of Nor
gantown. outlined the program for
the school. in the course of an excel
lent paper read before the school on
the subject. Our Roads and What
We Are Doing"
This school bids fair TO be one of
the most interesting and instructive
gatherings on the subject OF highway
improvement ever held in this State"
said Mr.. Williams. and Indications
are that practically every county in
the State viii avail themselves OF the
opportunity to hear these lectures.
Among the lecturers will be Prof. A.

Mr.. William p. Blair. OF the National
Paving Brick Manufacturers Associa-
ton: Mr.. c. NJ. Canady. of the Amer
lean Bridge Company: Mr.. J. f. Rich

with Representatives Of other univer.
sides and State departments and well
known and successful contractors, and
large number OF machine companies
win have exhibits. One day viii be
devoted to the study OF road machin.
cry under the direction OF the mechan.
ical department. thus assisting our
road ofnicials In procuring the best
quality Of machinery by giving them
an Intelligent acquaintance under the
supervision OF competent men.
"One day will be devoted to the
study and discussion of bridges and
practically all OF the phases of our
road problems viii be taken up. Many
of our county and city engineers will
be asked to take places on the pro
gram. and by having an open discus
sion OF our local problems. we can
materially iron out a great many OF
the kinks.
Instead OF the law requiring Jus,
the engineers to attend, Il should be
so changed as to require the presi
dents of the county courts, which
be very beneficial to the court, and
thus counties not having engineers
would be assured of the chance "a
participate and derive their share OF
the benefit"

senate he would give Vermont distin-

friends in the state, who would vote
for his reelection if he really wants
reelection. some of them because he
sought reelection rather than because
they would consider his reelection
for the best interests of the state.
With three or more candidates IN the
field. his reelection seems doubtful as
we hear public sentiment expressed at
this time. Were Charles A. Prouty
endorsed by the Republican and Pro-
gressive organizations, his election
would be sure beyond question. We're

would like to see Mr.. Prouty the can

the other parties want to turn in and
make the nomination and election
unanimous. all the better for old

Mr.. Prouty says that he is not di-
rectly or Indirectly candidate for the
United States Senate. Which is just
what he has said right along, although
there have been some attempts made
to force him into the field. Mr.. Prouty
would make an excellent senator anC
would uphold the envIable position
Vermont has attained in the upper
branch of Congress for sending men Of
parts and commanding ability. But he
won't go out after the office. Thai
much is settled. If the Office comes t.
him, we'll and good. he will consider il
as any other man would, as mandate
from the people that he serve them II
other capacity than he is now doing
However. Mr.. Prouty does not think
that the office will come to him in such
way which would. indeed, be, as he
himself says, procedure unparalleled
in the history of the state. Mr.
Prouty could not make his position an!
clearer.-St. Adams Messenger.

Those people who affect to believe
that the movement for Hon. Charles

for the United States senate has moth
ing substantial behind it will take
note of the fact that since Mr.. Prouty's
announcement last week that he would

Prouty clubs like the mother club at
Orleans have been organized In every
town in Orleans county, with an enroll

fined to Mr.. Prouty's home county. It
has thus early spread down into Gale

spontaneous uprising has been wit
