LAFOLLETTE INQUIRY NOT
MAKING MUCH PROGRESS

Because of the absence Of Senators
who compose the investigating COM
mittee, the investigation into the
charges against Senator Lafollette
has not made much progress. As =
matter of fact the Senators are not
fond of investigating their colleagues,
and the impression prevails among
them that Senator ought to be per-
mitted to say or do mostly anything
that he has on his mind. But war
pressure makes matters different, and
it may be that some of the Senators
will insist on going "clear through"
with the Lafollette inquiry. In the
meantime the Wisconsin Senator has
been very busy there in Washington
preparing to take his usual active part
in the affairs of Congress this winter.

Il CAR DAMAGED

Were you ever in an automobile ac-

ence, you can imagine how the writ
er felt last Saturday night when he
happened to be one Of the occupants of
one Of the aNtos that collided with
each other near the corner of the Pi-

gave his name - Cunningham.

street. Mr.. Cunnlagham vas the seae

and wss hsoaed ssstA, and driving on
the same side Of IT, street ~ the
other car. It looked - though Mr..
Cunningham was not going to turn to
his side of the street, and when only
short distance from the Cunning
ham car, to avoid . head-on collision,
Mr.. Wagner turned TO the left ~ the
last course to pursue, and at the same
time Mr.. Cunningham did the same
thing. The result was that both of
the cars collided with considerable
force and the Wagner car was some
what damaged, but fortunately the
cars were not travelling very fast,
and no one was injured. Howevsr,
we consider it 4 narrow escape, and
hope the next car We meet stays on
the right side of the boulevard. Its
safer, by far.
