CURLING THE SPEEDERS

Among the first in the list of civic
improvements that this country is
adopting is the enforcement of the
ordinances. without law enforcement
a city or town is in a sad plight. Re-
peated violations of the law place the
city administration in ridiculous po-
sition. The city loses the respect of
law-abiding citizens. who won't be
enthusiastic about proposed parks,
boulevards and other city-beautiful
plans.
Columbia hasn't lost the respect of
its citizens by any means, but there
should be a more rigid enforcement of
the ordinance prohibiting speeding mo-
tor vehicles on the streets. Motor cars
and motorcycles rush through the
streets in the residence district at a
dangerous rate-dangerous for the
drivers and for pedestrians. This does
not apply to all motorists, but it in
cludes many There are many mar
row streets and sharp corners here,
and speeding motor car is one thing
that should be prohibited in Colum-
bia.
Accidents have been few, but that
doesn't mean they can't occur. 1t is
folly to wait until there is fatal ac-
cident, and then strictly enforce the
law. Why not begin with this civic i'm
provement? It's about as healthy as
constructing a water reservoir. and
the cost to the city will be slight in
comparison.

THE FOUNDATION FIRST

Frederick Palmer asserts i'm Col
lier's that the United States can fight
real war without sending a man to
Europe. that our power lies in our in
dustry and resources and that they
are feared. Mr.. Palmer is the most
experienced living war correspondent.
In his professional career he has re-
ported more fighting than any soldier
has experienced or seen. During the
past two years he was the only Ameri-
can correspondent officially accredited
to the Allied front" In view of these
facts, his statement should carry
more weight than any Fourth of July
orator who ever made the eagle
scream
Facts known to every American
bear out Mr. Palmer's. assertion. In
spite of Germany's years of prepared
ness and the gigantic army recruited
by the Allies on comparatively short
notice. the conflict has simmered down
to an economic struggle. That nation
which through inventive genius and
conservation of resources can de-
velop the strongest organization back
of the army, will win the struggle.
The recent actions of the belligerents
confirm the new aspect of the war.
To the United States is given the
rare opportunity to look into the wars
laboratory and witness the, inner
workings of that terrible institution.
Here before it the United States sees
the futility of military preparedness
built upon the mud foundation of in
dustrial and economic unprepared-
ness, an experiment which has failed.
American industries toll day and
night; yet they are unprepared. A
bicycle factory cannot turn out shells
and guns overnight. From six months
to year are required to train an or
dinary soldier. At least two years
are needed to convert a locomotive
foundry into munitions plant run
ming at full capacity.
If we must prepare a war machine.
let us build the foundation first.

Timely Discovery OF Blaze.

The timely discovery of fire at
the restaurant of Brown & Fisher, in
this town., on Thursday evening of
last week, about five o'clock, pre-
vented probable disastrous blaze.
Smoke was detected coming through
the floor and outside weatherboard-
ing, and an investigation revealed
the timbers at the base Of the
chimney to be on fire. Great diff
ficulty was experienced in getting at
the blaze, it being necessary to cut
through the floor on the inside and
weatherboarding on the outside be-
fore stream Of water from a chemi-
cal extinguisher could be played
upon it. The damage was not great,
but the early discovery was the only
thing that prevented serious con-
sequences. It seems the base of the
chimney rested upon the main girder
of the building, the heat charring the
timber and finally setting it on fire.

U. s. Destroyer Named After Former
Resident OF Cecil.

ReSlOenG Cf cecil.
The Cecilton correspondent of
Elkton News contributes the follow
ing interesting item to that paper:
"The U. s. destroyer, Jacob Jones,
which was sunk in the War Zone
December 6 was named for former
resident of this community Captain
Jacob Jones. Capt. Jones was born
in Smyrna, Del. He achieved fame
in the navy during the war of 1912
in command of the U. s. S. Wasp,
winning a medal from Congress for
bravery in action. After the war he
bought the farm near Cecilton now
occupied by Mr.. H. B. Manlove,
which he named 1.-THE Anchorage"
by which name it is still known, and
made his home there for many years.
The. farm remained in the Jones
family until about two years ago
when it was bought by Capt. James
E. Woodall, of Georgetown. The
sponsor of the destroyer Jacob Jones
was Mrs. Jerome Parker Crittenden,
of New York. a great-granddaughte
of Captain Jacob Jones. Her hus-
bands ancestors were also residents
of this community, his grandfather
having been the late DR.. Jerome H.
Hardcastle, who practiced medicine
in Cecilton and community the
greater part OF his life,"
