The CITY Auto.

The decision of the City Com
mii;icners 10 sell the motorcycle,
which was obtained for use OF police
officers in apprehending "speeders.
and replacing same with a small au-
tomobile is looked upon with favor.
In addition TO using the auotmo-
bile for police duty it could be used
for other purposes that would make
il a valuable acquisition.
The motorcycle appeared to be Of
little value in catching reckless
speeders and that was the extent OF
its usefulness. The majority OF
automobile owners are willing u
keep within the law, and TO OBJ
serve the rights of other people. Bni
a small proportion of reckless driv-
ers ana inconsiderate owners can do
a great harm TO the entire motoring
community.
Take the matter of speed limits.
who is going to keep the car within
the lawful limit when he knows
that cars run far beyond the limit
withou- interference? The best in
tentioned man, the one most willing
TO obey the law in letter ana Split,

some liberties with il when he OBJ
serves that apparently the law means
nothing in particular to real Of

There is no doubt that proper at
tention to enforcement OF regu!a-
tions has an important effect on the
accident record. A recent compar-
son of conditions in New York and
Chicago strikingly demonstrated
this. Chicago has within its highly
crowded loop district" perhaps The
most difficult and dangerous traillc
spot in any American city. 1t is so
dangerous, indeed, that the authori-
ties have been compelled to take ex-

Pitchers Tree Leg
Helps Him to Win

Barney Petty, the old major league
pitcher. has a young finger under his
wing whom Barney is trying to land
with some major league club The
youngster is Albert G. Murphy, and in
western Missouri he is known far and
wide as 1.-The pitcher with the wooden
leg"
Murphy truly has a leg which for
merly was part of a tree, but Petty says
that should not be held against him.
In fact, Barney says the wooden leg
Is help instead of hindrance In
stead of ducking the hot drives Muir
ply let's them hit his wooden shin and
throws the batter out at first.
Petty also says that the wooden leg
does not hamper Murphys speed on the
paths. I'm bet this kid Murphy can
beat, three quarters of the big league

even though you don't have to be able
to hit or run to be successful
