TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
Contains Many Objectionable Laws
Some Changes Should BE Made.

During the meeting Of the Directors
Of the Chamber of Commerce yester-
day afternoon the new tralflce ordin-
ance came up for general discussion.
Most every director stated that he had
quite a few complaints registered
about the new ordinance.
The ordinance as whole seems to
be very satisfactory but it contains
several laws that seem to work to
the disadvantage of the business in
terests and citizens. Many of the
citizens feel that in as much as this
is a small city catering to the rural
interests we should not be too string
ent with our laws.
The main objection seems to be
with regard to the auto truck drivers
not being able to leave their cars on
the prominent thoroughfare unless in
charge of another person. This would
compel many of our business men to
put another men on the truck and tho
dray-man put third man on. One
of the dray-men was called to task
yesterday because he and his helpci
were both engaged in unloadin {"
freight and none on the drivers seat
Upon motion the President of tt
Chamber of Commerce was instructo |
to draft a petition and present to tie
Honorable City Council at its ne
meeting. This petition will expires ,
the views of the Board of Director :
and will possibly offer some sugges' =
ed changes in the new traffic ord
nance in an endeavor to assist CDunc /
to eliminate any difficulties that m; :
arise on account of some of the feG-
lures of the ordinance

men.

Paris, May 27-After long inter-
val the Germans again began to bonn
bard Paris with long range guns at
$3.50 o'clock this morning.
The resumption of the lombard
ment was an unwelcome surprise to
the Parisians, who had not heard the
sound of exploding shells from the
German big Bertha" since May l.
There was no installing the peculiar
ping" with which the shells burst,
however, and 1t was Immediately rec
ognized that the long range firing was
on again.
The first shell was followed at fair
" regular intervals. much as on the
occasions of previous bombardments,
making it seem probable that more
than one gun was in action.
1t is significant that the long range
bombardment of Paris, which had
been expected for a considerable ~
terval, has been resumed just as the
Germans are renewing their offensive
on the West. The bombardment was
opened Saturday, March 90, almost
coincident with the start of the great
offensive in Picardy.
At least two of the mammoth pieces
were destroyed or badly damaged
some time ago by the French artillery
which adopted especial measures in
conjunction with airplane observation.
to reach them in their location jus,
behind the westerly edge of the Aisnc
front, more than seventy miles from
Paris.
Early this month the long range
Smelling was suddenly suspended, and
on May 16 one of the German newspa-
pers announced that two of the big
pieces had been taken to the KrupI
plane for repair work Such huge
guns, it was explained, could not be
fired indefinitely without timely re-
pairs"

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy Is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t Is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub.
fishing attest to its virtue.

ton to possess navy Of constantly
increasing strength and efficiency

tanning its newly-won position among

pressed by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels In his annual report to the
president, now made public.
Notwithstanding cessation of hos
tilities and the approaching peace
conference, Secretary Daniels strong
ly urges continued upbuilding of the
navy, specifically asking for author
ization of another three-year con-
struction program to cost 100000

Asks For 1856 New Ships.
This substantially duplicates the
amount appropriated in 1918, when
the world war was raging and which
constituted the first comprehensive
building program ever authorized for
the navy.
The new program arranged to
cover a second three-year term pro-
vides for construction of total of
1876 new vessels. Ten of these are to
be battleships and six of them battle
cruisers.
The other 40 vessels are not spe-
CITED. 1t is simply asked that they
be Of types already approved and in
existence or Of new types which may
develop during the life of the pro-
gram, details being left to the navy
department.
"Shps to Equal Any Afloat."
The secretary adds that new ship
construction should embrace craft of
every description which experience
of the war has demonstrated to be
necessary to the efficient and SYM
metrical development of the navy.
Commenting on his recommendations
he says:
This program, IL authorized by
congress, as l am confident 1t will be,
will give us 16 additional capital
ships which will be the equal of any
afioat at the time they are built"
Total estimates for ship construc.
ton involved in the new program, in
Guiding armor and armament, ag-
gregate 1912 ,09O,000. The amount
recommended for appropriation next
year for completion OF vessels al
ready authorized is $572,090, 900.
