DINNER ORDINANCE
IS BEING ENFORCED
EIkhart Police Require Motor

GIaring Lights.
News-Tlmes Special Service:

ELKHART. Ind, Aug. 3.-The po-
lice department Tuesday night I'M
dertook TO enforce the provision Of
the traffic ordinance prohibiting the
use Of glazing headlights on vehicles
on the paved streets.
1t was found that the ordinance
would be largely respected when the
police department set out to do bust
ness. II was also proved that the
claim that glazing headlights were
essential to safety was a falla cious
one.
But one arrest was made for viola
ton of the glaring headlight law.
other needless drivers were warned
by officers. and obeyed the COM
mands. These incidents took place
in the districts patroled by the po-
lice. In other. unpatroled districts,
drivers took chances in some in
stances. When the police get the
drivers trained" regarding the
business district and are then at
liberty to watch the resident dis
tricts better, a few arrests IN those
quarters will suffice to rev arse a
bad custom, and make violations of
the ordinance the exception rather
than the rule.
VIII Get Around To II.
Not many motor vehicle drivers
ventured into the business district
without dimming their lights" said
Chief Riblet. I'VE hope, if the law
is allowed TO stand by the council.

cause the driver refused TO proceed

Hughes was first mentioned for the
presidency eight years ago. Hs
steadfastly refused to be even = re-
ceptive candidate. Four years ago
he likewise declined to take any in
terest in politics. Two years ago his
name first began to be mentioned as
a Republican nominee against Will

For more than year Republican
leaders have tried to make him come
out in the open" on whether he would
accept the Republican nomination.
They didn't succeed.
Hughes retired behind his fast
graying and always famous whiskers.
Hughes has been consistent in his
reforms. He startled New York with
the thoroness with which he probed
the life insurance scandals and, when
governor, made bitter enemies of the

Because of his reform record and
his progressivism of thouhgt, Hughes
has been mentioned as an "amalga-

both the Republicans and Progress

guard" because of his habits of al
most "insolent independence" as one
leader has expressed it, but all Re

Three -Year-Old

A tragedy which has thrown
cloud over the whole community oc-
CURED last night when Evan Jones,
the interesting three-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Jones of Brook

ers of Junction creek.
Yesterday evening, shortly after 5
o'clock, Mrs. Jones left her seven
year old daughter and little three
year-old boy on the front porch, while
she went 70 the rear of the premises
to attend to her chickens. When she
returned both children were gone.
She found the little girl in the house
but the baby was missing. A search
was started which lasted for hours.
At first the mother thought the lit
tie one was in the yard or had wan
dered to nearby house. When she
failed to locate him, the assistance
of neighbors was enlisted and short
ly hundreds of people were trying
to find the missing child.
John Clarke, who realized the dan
ger of the treacherous mountain
streams searched up and down juno
tion creek. AT 7:45, just as the shad-
ows of night were falling he found
the child's body in the stream near
the old Chinese garden, about 35C
feet below, the Main avenue bridge.
The remains were carried to the
family home and the terrible news
broken to the mother, who had no.
abandoned hope that her little one
might be spared and returned to hei
in safety. An auto was rushed tt
Tiffany after the father, who is sta
toned at that point looking aftel
his ranch and sheep interests.
