CAR
DRIVERS AND
BRIGHT LIGHTS
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT
SOME NIGHT IN THIS CITY UN-
LESS OFFICERS TAKE MATTER
IN HAND.

When the crash comes, and parties
are manned and perhaps killed al the
corner OF Broadway and Washington
street" remarked a citizen who
watched for an hour the reckless driy-
ing Of automobiles past that busy
corner last night, then, and not IN
I'll then. will the ordinances Of the
city governing the driving OF auto
mobiles be enforced.
"ArdmOre has altogether too many
automobiles for the miles Of streets
l. has paved. and il looks as If drivers
and especially women and children
will drive nowhere else but on the
paved streets l viii be glad when
the paving is extended 10 cover the
entire city. Then the danger Of being
run down by an auto in the congested
district will not be so great
The binding glare from some Of
the large headlights is enough TO
confuse an experienced driver at
times, and it certainly plays havoc
with the nerves OF lady drivers who
are unaccustomed to night driving
Drivers should be made 10 dim their
lights in town, the same as is done
in every other city in the state, and
unless this is done there will be a bad
wreck here some night"
This man was telling nothing but
the literal truth. For yerifcation, let
any citizen stand at the corner Of
Broadway and Washington streets any
night from seven until ten o'clock.
and he will experience more thrills
than roller coaster can impart. Il
is common practice 20 see cars turn
this corner from both directions on
the wrong side Of the street, and it
is impossible 10 see around the corner
on account o: the Elks building. Il
is a thousand wonders that wrecks
have been so long in arriving
Chief OF Police Hutchins stated
some time ago that he would ike to
nave man placed al this corner, but
the department has been cut until he
has barely enough men to patrol the
business districts after nightfall, and
unless he IS given one or two more
men I is going TO be impossible TO
remedy the present condition.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
Uses of Candles in the Home

THE old-fashioned candle may not even
approximate any OF the modern lighting
methods. but there ii something soft and
mellow about a candle-iiluminated room
that no other light can give. And although
we may not need candles for lighting pur.
poses. nevertheless. candle light adds con.
siderably TO the charm and comfort of
room.
In the first place. candle light is always
beautiful and in perfectly good form for the
table. Two or four candles In slender, un.
obtruslve silver or glass candlesticks beau
tify a table considerably and no other table
decorations are necessary. The candles
should always be fitted with glass disk 10

spreading over the candlestcks. The can
diesticks-.and candles too-must be OF just
the right size. not so small as TO appear
stumpy and not NO tall that they obscure
guests at the table from each other.
For table use. the candle shades should
be some pale eolor--pale yellow or pale
rose II deeper color is used the shade
should be lined with white 30 that II casts
soft glow over the table. The striking
loud colors--bright reds or greens or blues
