Automobile Association Will See that Vehicle Law is Enforced.

Vehicle Law is Enforced.
 President Allyn Fuller of the Can aan Automobile Association announces that, so far as Canaan is concerned, the law relating to lights on vehicles is go- ing to be strictly enforced. There has been'some noticeable laxity in the obser- vance of the law, on the part of both horse drawn vehicles and automobiles, and it is the purpose of the Association to see to it that the law is respected and observed. No offending driver or chauffeur who is once notified by the deputy sheriff or other officer, that he is transgressing the law, need feel ag- grieved if on second offense he finds himself hailed before the court and fined according to the provisions of the act. 5.
 The Association is formed for the mutual benefit of the road travellers and the general public, and Safety and Sanity First will be the chief considera- tion. If any citizen has ahy sugges- tions to offer, along the line of improv- ing the travel conditions, to promote the greater security of either pedes- trians or dxivers, President Fuller would be glad to receive them and will see that they are given due considera- ton by the Association.

Editor Barton Talks Straight.

The Graphic received an anonymous communication this week attacking the standing of prominent lady residing in this borough. It is, perhaps, need. less to state that it was consigned to the waste basket. We should think readers of The Graphic understood our position by this time. AS we have stated heretofore The Graphic cannot be used as a sewer in which to dump the venomous outpourings of disgruntled individuals. The Graphic is always glad to receive communications of gen. eral interest, but those who think they can air their personal animosities through the columns of this paper are evidently not acquainted with its editor.

Infant phenomenon" fter the standard set by
Charles Dickens.
Marilynn was 16 the first day of September

Miss Miller never appeared in New York be-
fore last June, when she made an extraordinary
hit at the Winter Garden.

while the Mers playing in Dayton, little
Marynn Miller. then 4 years old, was taken
to moving picture show. One of the pictures
was OF a famous premiere danseuse Marilynn
on arriving home told her mother that she
thought she could dance on her toes as we'll as
the lady she had seen in the pictures. To the
surprise of Caro- Miller and his wife their little
daughter was very soon dancing around the
room on her toes.
so II was that little Marilynn became one of
the Columbians, which after that week were
billed as THE Columbian Trio, with Mademoi-
selle Sugarlump" The name "Niademoiselle
suGarlump" was after time dropped from the
billing" and the Miller family became known
as the Columbian Four'-father, mother and
two daughters. Owing to the child labor act
THE Columbian Four was unable to appear in
many OF the larger cities, since AIarilynn Miller
was so young. AS there are no restrictions as
to age in other countries, the Mlers played
much of the time during the last ten or more
years in Canada, England the West Indies.

fore last June the nearest that Marllynn Miller
came to appearing in New York was Christmas
week, 1905, when The Columbian Four played
a week in Brooklyn. The Gerry Society then
interfered, and little Marilynn, unable 10
dance, was compelled to walk through her part
Last May the Millers were appearing at the
Lotus Club in London, Lee Shubert was abroad
seeking novelties. and was greatly astonished
at the wonderful cleyerness of Marilynn Miller
He at once sent to Caro- Miller, the young lady's
father, and arranged for her appearance at the
Winter Garden.
