Mr.. F'ant. who is bitter known as
Happy" FAINT. because of his happy
and optimistic disposition. talks in
the navy. He entered the service or
May 18th of last year, and after re-

torpedo boat destroyers for the pro-
lection of transport e:e most in
tcrcsting. These boats remain OF
about two miles in every direction

practically impossible for German

ANY German submarine in action. but
did see IS or more submarines that

MOTOR DRIVERS IGNORE
"SCH0OL--DRlVE SLOW"

Complaint has reached the city
commissioners regarding traffic in
the vicinity OF the city public
schools In a letter received yester-
day at the office OF the mayor, r..
f.. Oberholtzer, city superintendent
OF schools. asks that better SLOW"
signs be put up in the neighborhood
OF some OF the schools.
1t is stated that motorists pass
certain OF the schools at high rates
OF speed, honking their horns and
making terrific noise with their
open mufflers. This. It is con-
tended, tends to frighten and con-
fuse the children, who are as likely
as not to run in front OF the auto
mobiles in an effort to get away.
Police Commissioner F. NJ. Bohn
states that efforts will be made i'm
mediately to keep auto drivers from
acting as they should not in the vi
cinity OF the schools. Motorcycle
men were instructed to keep in close
touch with conditions in this con-
nection and see that motorists are
warned OF the Jaw regarding speed
ing near public schools.
