Are you y. i. H.!
If not. you'd better stay in after
school this afternoon and bone up
on your lessons, because this is the
last day that Chief of Police Bennett
and his bluecoats are going to over
look those little infractions OF the
new traffic rules which went into ef-
feet some days ago, and the police
have been teaching the city and coun-
try since.

Traffic Regulations, it's your own

Cops as Teachers.
For days and days, three or four po-
ilcemen have been stationed down
town to teach the new rules and reg
ulaions to all pedestrians and drivers
of vehicles. Verbally, and with writ
ten copies of the regulations, the po
lice have conducted little school ol
their own, impressing upon the pubhc
the necessity of carrying out, even tc
the letter, the laws.

and early Monday morning the OF
ficers will begin to enforce the laws
When brought into court, it's going
to be a difficult matter, if you are z
resident of Hattiesburg, to convince
Mayor Batson that you should not be
fined.
More leniency will be shown the
country folks, however, if it can be
proven that they have not had
chance to study the new traffic laws
But by the first of the year, even these
folks will have to pay the penalty 4

I'll tell you Why" Laura explained.
II was as sure of it as anyone could
be. Craig passed me in Southampton
water this morning, being rowed out

recognized me. I saw him draw back

Laura replied.
Quest glanced at the clock and
threw down the timetable. He turned
toward the door. They all followed
him.

nounced. 'I'm going to try to get on
board that steamer before she sails.

lie down. They'll give you a room

fessor declared
"And nothing" Lenora declared,
firmly, as she caught at Quests arm,

"I'll telephone to Scotland Yard, in
case they care to send a man down."
Quest decided.
They caught train to southamp-
ton, where they we're joined by man
from Scotland Yard The little party
drove as quickly as possible to the
docks.
"Where does the Barton start
from?" Quest asked the piermaster.
The man pointed out little way
down the water.
"She's not in dock, sir" he said.
"She's lying out yonder. You'll bare
ly catch her, I'm afraid" he added,
glancing at the clock.
They hurried to the edge of the
quay.

his voice, I'll give ten-pound note
to anyone who gets me out to the

The little party were almost thrown
into tug, and in a few minutes they
were skimming across the smooth
water. Just as they reached the

Then he drew down the sheet.
"Is that your work." he asked,
sternly.
Craig, up till then, had spoken no
word. He had shambled to the bed
side, broken, yet, in a sense, a stolid
figure. The sight of the dead man,
however, seemed to galvanize him into
sudden and awful vitality. He threw
up his arms. His eyes were horrible
as they glared at those small black
marks. His lips moved backwards and
forwards, helplessly at first. Then at
last he spoke.

They led him down to the back part
of the house into a dry cellar which
had the appearance of a prison cell.
This place has been used before
now, in the old days, for malefactors,"
the professor remarked. Hell be
safe there. Craig" he added, his
voice trembling, "Craig-IlI can't

There was no answer. Craig's face
was buried in his hands. They left
him there and turned the key.

Public Speaking Aids Self

~ n. AoDINoToN BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle OF Personality"
Psychology and Parcnthood." etc.

| Everybody ought to be able to speak fairly
well In public. Most men are not.
| Their awkwardness Is due to timidity and the
timidity in turn is due to realization that they
| do not know how To speak. Few. however make
any attempt to learn the principles of public
| speaking
Yet all of US should do so. for several reasons.
Ability TO speak well In public is an asset 10

favorably known.
Enlarging a mans sphere OF influence. II en-.
larges his opportunities for working for the
| good OF other people-one OF the fundamental
| principles of human existence.
Also, and Of the hiShes, personal s Importanee,
TO ACQUIRE ABILITY IN PUBLIC SPEAK
| ING MAKES FOR SUPERINTENDENT IN
GENERAL, AND MENTAL DEVELOPMENT IN
One of the first requisites OF really success
! full public speaker Is the power to marshal and
present facts In logical train OF thought This
is power inherent In the reasoning faculty OF
every normal man. but comparatively few men
make habitual use OF IT,
Most men. in fact conspicuous for their
deficiency in logical thinking They seldom
reason closely from cause TO effect They sell
dom base their judgments on wellreasoned
facts.
Often they form Judgments which are faulty
simply because they have not taken the trouble
to think logically about them
But the public speaker who would speak real
y well must be logical. Obviously. therefore
the more a man, by study and exercise, perfects
public speech. the more easily and habtualy he
viii think logically In everyday life.
Still further. to speak effectively In public,
one must not only think clearly. He must also
express himself clearly.
II he does not he will leave his hearers hope
lessly befogged. and groping more less vain
ly for the meaning of his words
Clearness Of expression depends chiefly on
simplicity and directness Of statement. The
man who tries earnestly to gain these qualities
will find that in proportion as he gains these
he has grown In mental vigor.
Clear. accurate speech indeed OF itself makes
for clarity OF thought: so that training In clear.
ness OF expression increases the power of log.
ical thinking.
Finally, a man may be able TO think logically
and express himself clearly. but he will never
| become a first-cass speaker UNLESS HE HAS
SOMETHING WORTH SAYING.
Training for public speaking thus involves the
| exercise OF discrimnatve judgment with TO.
| spect to matters which are worth thinking and
talking about.
II consequently enlarges the critical faculty.
| and tends TO make man increasingly appre
| catve OF the higher realities of life and de-
| creasingly Interested In, and influenced by. the
petty, the sordid. and the ignoble.
All of which assuredly bears out my initial
Istatement-that everybody ought TO be able to
speak fairly well In public.

Is Snoozing in the Park An
Offense Against Anybody?

If YOU sit down in the park (any park

An innocent looking man had the mis-
fortune to go to sleep on bench yester-
day at noon, and although he was not
intoxicated, and seemed perfectly decent,
that is what happened to him.
Perhaps he had no place to sleep; per-
haps the place was so unlnviting that
he preferred the pure air OF the out
doors: perhaps he was worn out or half
sick: perhaps he was just discouraged,
which is the most deadly poison to the
human system that there. is-the rule
worked inst the same and he was awak-
ened by &>policeman.
The caretaker of the park said all this
careful attention was given to protect
people" but the only way the caretaker
has of distinguishing MAN from a
TOUGH, it would seem, is by his
clothes.
This mans clothes were old and soiled
but he was as unoffending as the birds
around the fountain.
Respectable people" of the caretak-
er's variety, have places out of doors
where they can breathe the fresh air and
and enjoy a little quiet.
The parks are not especially necessary
to them. but to the poor man in a
wretched lodging, or with no lodging at
all, they are a necessity.
1t is the one place where he can get
back to nature and feel himself a man
and not mere atom in the social scheme
which We have evolved and in which he
has lost out.
To what better use can we put the
parks than for places where citizen,
with full power of suffrage, may feel that
he is at home, as long as he does nothing
to offend the public peace?
