URGE MORE CARE
FROM AUTO DRIVERS
etop, Look, Listen Policy 10 sugsested
In Order to Reduce
Fatalities.

The number Of automobile accidents
that have occurred recently call to
mind the warnings and cautions that
have been issued by every municipal
ity and corporation In the country.
The greatest number of these acct
dents have occurred at some sort OF
ar intersection, whether at the inter
section Of two streets, or street, or
road and railroad or of an alley and
a sidewalk or street. This fact makes
the cautions regarding careful and
proper driving at such places more
aprores than Others
The city Of Keokuk has automobile
laws which, II cbeyed, should do
away with the large majority of acct
dents and which If they are not obey
ed will cause a large number. The
reason for making the last statement
Is that driver of a car naturally ex-
rects another driver to drive In &C
coreance with the law and on that ac-
count drives as he should drive.
When the other driver fails to OBJ
serve the laws there is usually crash
and an expensive machine is shatter-
81 or perhaps some one is injured or
killed.
People will eventually get tired or
being cautioned in no matter how
good cause and on that account the
warnings are couched in as pleasant
zones as possible and the facts are
Drought out so that the necessity OF
the warning may be seen by the auto
mobile drivers.
Speeding and the poor turning OF
corners is responsible for the major

CASTOR Calmette, editor of the Figaro,
all Paris today is awaiting the word
of the three ouels that are believed
certain to result from the trial.
Joseph Caillaux, husband OF the
acquitted woman, is expected to figure
in two clashes. His first probably
will be with Maitre Chenu, counsel
for the Calmette heirs.
Chenu and Caillaux engaged in a bit
ter clash during the trial that ended,
1t was believed. with the understand
ing that they would settle it with a
duel when the trial was over.
Henry Bernstein, the author and
dramatist, is expected to send a chal-
lenge to Caillaux at once. Caillaux
angered Bernstein in court when he
referred to Bernsteins alleged avoid
ance of army service.
Judges Albanel and Dagoury are
expected to furnish the third duel.
Dagoury's alleged statement that Al
banel was favoring the defense, led
to the latter issuing challenge, 1t
Is understood.
Gowned modishly, Nine. Caillaux
today showed no signs Of the ordeal
of her trial. She received scores Of
visitors at her home.
Friends of the slain editor were
bitterly resentful of the verdict. A
popular demonstration against Gail

royalists, Of which Calmette was
member are particularly bitter. All
of the newspapers contain adverse
