SONG DEDICATED
 ID NEWLYWEOS

A protest has been entered from the White House against the pub lication of a song dedicated to P1esi- dent and Mrs. Wilson, entitled, Pretty Little Indian Maid" New York printing presses were busted shortly before the wedding running off copies of the song which, how ever, had not at that time been set to music
 The words are supposed to tell the story of the President wooing of Mrs. Norman Galt. an alleged descendant of Pocohontas. J. NJ. Fitzgerald, who wrote the ditty, says the song is being published, but that he may consent to keep it from the music shops
 Fitzpatrick sent a copy to the White House. The return mail brought letter from Secretary Tumulty saying: The President asks me to say that he would be very much obliged if the song to which you refer were not published He would be very much distressed if it were"
 The first stanza and chorus of the song follow:
 "A paleface chief Of a mighty tribe On the trail of an Indian squaw, In his light canoe that was built
 for two
 Came drifting to the shore. A lovers dart hit the white mans
 heart
 From the girl of copper shade. For he was chief of the paleface And she was an Indian maid
 CHORUS. You are red and am white
 That makes ,ar iove 1rae blue. Fol l know that you love me
 And you know that love you Let's stroll together meath the sil-
 very moon

Spooney Autoists Must Keep Both
 Hands on Wheel
Prosecuting Attorney of County Starts Campaign Against
 "One- Armed' Drivers.

ST. LOUlS.-Prosecuting Attorney Ralph. of St. Louis County, yesterday enrolled himself as a safety first" champion by sponsoring a movement which might be termed the Society for the Abolition of One-Arm Driv- ing" Its origin:
 A few nights ago the Prosecuting Attorney, standing near the Price road, in Clayton, was amazed at the number of "one-arm" drivers of automobiles that passed. The phe- nomena passed understanding until he made the discovery that in every n1tance there was a woman pas senger at the drivers side.
 Prosecuting Attorney Ralph will not tell his conclusion as to this remarkable coincidence, but 1t is known that Deputy Sheriff Madden has been instructed to look for spoony aa well as speedy drivers As result, it is expected in most instances two hands will be on the wheel where there was but one be- fore, and the auto accidents in St Louis County will be materially re- duced.
 Madden will arrest one or more "one arm" drivers and make test cases. County authorities believe that it will be possible to obtain convictions on charges of careless driving.
