.MR. AUTO OWNER YOU'D
BETTER DIM YOUR LIGHTS

A large number of automobile
owners i'm Des Moines are going to
wake UP one of these mornings and
find themselves pinched. Chief
Crawford is preparing to enforce
the DINNER ordinance with ukor.
We've been busy with large
number of other matters, during
the last few days." said the chief
yesterday, but We're going to get
around to enforcing the DINNER or
dinance soon, and when we do
start enforcing it we will go after
'em.
"A large number of persons may
look forward to visit to police
court. From casual inspection of
the autos of Des Moines aa they
pass at might, it would appear
that few autoists have taken the
new measure seriously.
But they have been. given suffi-
cient warming now, and know dim
mer lenses are available for those
who want to buy them. We will
have no Qualms OF conscience when
the time comes to get anter the
auto owner who half bHnds every
one else ON the .street he is tua-
velinE." y

color scheme was white only. The
streamers, wedding bells, flowers
place cards and everything, even
the lights We're covered with white
making a very beautiful showing
throughout.
Everything was in order. The
bride and groom, to be- was
phoned to come as the Boose's
wanted to talk with them. AS said
before everything and everybody
was ready to receive the guests
of honor, when behold, a noise
sounded outside, like that of a
charivari crowd, or like a crowd
of youngsters who were up to mis-
chief and full of life and good
humor.
The first Thought that came to
the folks inside was that some OF
the young men had come to- join
the showers girls in the affair.
But when Mrs. Boose went to
the door to greet them she GER
tainly met an all together differ
ent crowd than she expected. And
DIT then daiwmed upon her and her
husband that they too, were to
be surprised, as they certainly
were.
There they all were, two good
sized crowds, face to face. Meth
or of the two crowds knew of the
others plan. Twas good round
joke.
Now we'll, go back to the bride
and groom, to be. They suspected
nothing until they saw a number
OF cars parked outside. But they
ventured in only to be warmly
greeted by their friends and a
number who were not their friends.
But we hope that the accident may
lead to make many more friends
and acquaintance
Miss Madsen received many beau
tiful presents from the K. K. X.
girls, which will remind her OF
that evening for a good many years
to come.
The ITO be weds' Miss Li,ly Mad
sen and Storm Marquesen, and the
two ladies, Misses Clara Frede rick
the shower We're placed at small
sen and Ruth Hansen, who got up
table called the Table of honor .
which SsAs placed in the double
door way, under a canopy of we'd
ding bells etc., where they enjoyed
the luncheon the club girls had
prepared for the occasion. The CEN
ter ON that table as we'll as ON the
other tables was strewn with smil-
ak. The flowers used were white
carnations
The evening was spent playing
games and general conversing and
after the feeling of surprise" had
wore off all had a good time to-
gether. We do not know which OF
the two crowds, or whether Mr..
and Mrs. Boose or Storm or Lilly
We're the most surprised but we
do know that the four last men
toned most heartily appreciate the
kind acts of their friends.

vast would be the increase, he said
that he thought no one would be sur

take second, if not first place in the
commerce of the world.

1t was the sense Of speakers that In
the matter Of solving the problem OF
the unemployed the national and state
government should cooperate and do
more than they have done in finding

Of Labor and Frank J.. Warne OF

should at once study closely the ques-
ton of immigration and if necessary
restrict the inflow Of workmen from
Europe, after the war, so as not to
upset economic conditions by sur
