AMONG THE MOTORISTS

The Abilene Motor club will soon
hold its annual meeting. One sub
ject to come before 1t is the marking
of a north and south road from Clay
Center to Abilene connecting the
White Way and the Golden Belt. The
Clay Center boosters say they VIII
do half the painting.
AAA
This is the time Of year to buy
motor cars, as between now and the
first of July tho state charges only
$3.50 for licenses. The annual rate
ia IS but those applying for licenses
during the last six months can get
the rate cut In two. But when the
legislature made that provision II
forgot all about the motorcycle
owners. Owners of pop-pops DO not
have. reduced rates on licenses. They
must pay annual rate of 81, no mat
ter when application is made.

The Dodge automobile which was
placed on exhibition by E. e. Coul-
son, the agent, last week, has been
attracting much attention. For more
than a year, ever since 1t was known
that the company would produce
car. the public has not known what
the car was until advertised recent
". This is the first chance the auto
fans of Abielne have had to see the
real car. The car is an attractive one
with all the up to date improvements
and seems likely to make hit.
An effort will be made to relocate
the roads east Of Wamego to pre-
vent crossing the U. P. tracks by the
Golden Belt so frequently. County
commissioners should have the pow
er to relocate roads for the advan-
tage of a community or where 1t
will increase safety.

CADETS INFEST
EAST SIDE AGAIN
Prey on Unemployed Girls
at Dances and Film Shows,
Boy Police Report.

The cadet, once driven from the East
Side, is plying his despicable trade in
that section again. He is also active in
Harlem, The Bronx and Brooklyn.
His presence on the East Side has
been detected By the vigilance of the
boy police OF the East Side Protective
Association. The prevalence Of unem-
ployment Is aiding him TO prey on girls
who when at work are safe from his
advances.
An official Of the association said last
night that the reports from the boy
police show that the cadets frequent
the evening dancing classes in the pub
lie school buildings. Here they be-
come acquainted with girls. and visits
10 moving picture shows and ice cream
parlors follow.
I'VE have found" the official said,
that not alone are the cadets work
ing their nefarious trade on the East
Side. but they have been reported as
being active in the upper part of the
city and in The Bronx and Brooklyn as
well. In several eases which have
come under our observation we have
found that the mothers Of many Of the
girls are TO blame. Jobs are scarce
and there are many unemployed girls.
Some of the mothers nag them CON
tinually for their inability to get posi-
tions, with the result that they become
respondent and easy prey for the
cadet"

DRY SUNDAY RUSH
TIRES BARTENDERS
Side Doors Swing All Day,
in Defiance of Brewers
Closeup Order.

No one worked harder in New York
yesterday than the barkeepers. with
the Sunday closing law locked UP in
the safe and the ultimatum Of the
Brewers Association demanding that
all saloons be Theoretically sealed on
the Sabbath a mere scrap Of paper the
saloon owners put in busy day mar
shaling the crowds in and out of the
side entrances.
The only fy in the ointment for tho
cafe proprietors lay in the fact that
while the side door swung merrily 20
and fro the main entrance had 70 be
closed for appearances sake. II the
police would only be a little less par
ticular on this point every liquor re-
taller in me city would proclaim New
Nork's "dry Sundays" a complete sue
coss.
From the lips Of every saloonkeeper
defiance Of the brewers trcmbled and
fell at the slightest proyocation. No
bunch of men ever created, they as
places on the best business day Of the
week. OF course, one had to keep
quiet. and maybe selling liquor on Sun
day did violate the law, but the unani-
nous opinion was that until somebody
. ]
have to 90 thirsty on the Sabbath
"Mayor Mitchell is not doing his duty
or carrying out his oath Of office" said
the Rev. A. Y. Chalmers. rector of Holy
Trinity Church, last night. 81 have
been calling his attention to the viola
ton of the Sunday closing law since
January, 1914, and he has taken abso-
lutely no -teps in the matter.
To-day members Of the Mems Club
Of my church investigated saloons on
the East Side in the seventies and
eighties. All Of them were doing bust
ness, and they had no difficulty in en-
tering any of them. /, in my clerical
dress, entered two saloons without
trouble
Mr.. Chalmers has written his four
teenth letter Of protest to the Mayor.
"On December 16, 1914 it reads,
when ! asked you 10 enforce the
liquor tax laws in this parish, you
said: We are tightening up as fast as
possible have waited patiently for
the tightening up process. BY per-
sOnal observation and by reports Of
members of our Mems Club, l find that
boys Of sixteen TO twenty are found in
liquor saloons O.. Sunday
THE saloons nave from ten 10
twenty persons in the back rooms.
The bartenders are working, the cash
registers record the sales. the doors
between the back rooms and the bars
are open all this in direct violation
of law.
Some Of the newspapers say the big
brewers are considering whether il
would not be better for them 20 close
the saloons on Sunday. 1t would be a
wise move, but it would be better II
the administration would act according
to law, instead Of permitting the IL
legal selling Of liquor on Sunday"

Start Movement to Make Life
More Comfortable for

New York policemen, during their
eight hours reserve duty shift each
day, are the objects of an efficiency
and recrestional movement fostered by
seventeen large clubs, chief among
which are the University Club, the
Automobile Club Of America, and the

Az the West Forty-seventh Street
and the East Fifty-flrst Street sta
tions the clubs have installed facili-
ties for physical exercise, for improv-
ing ventilation in sleeping rooms,
shower baths and current reading mat
ter for the patrolmen.
A committee representing the three
clubs which have been most active in
the movement has presented to the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
q record Of experiments in the two
stations, and asked the board to
recommend "A plan to equip each pre-
cisct station with similar advantages.
According to the estimates presented
IN the report, the total cost for equip
ping all the stations in the city would
be $4,000. and the yearly maintenance
would be less than $4,000 This. the
report points out, is equivalent 10 an
initial expense of $40 for each mem
Der Of the force and a yearly upkeep
Of 81. The report does not recommend
the paying for the Improvements either
