GETTING SPEEDSTERS.

The automobile spocdstcr is feeling
the strong arm of the law these days.
Every day three or four offenders
are hauled into court and fines are
imposed for exceeding the speed limit.
And, strange to say, most Of thcPf-
tenders are women. They 90 gliding
down the street at 30 and 40 mile
clip ard are not conscious Of the fact
that they are exceeding the speed linn
its and the first thing they know an
officer is summoning them to the
m7vor court.
Moral: Keep your eye on the
spcedometer as well as the road ahead
and soft pedal the accelcrator. 1t
will be cheaper in the long run.

( WASHINGTON, Oct. %. Timo-
thy Shea gave notice to Congress
tonight that the Brotherhood o.
Locomotive Fircmen and Engincmcn
Of which he is acting president
would not observe pending anti
strike legislation if enacted int,
law.
Such an attempt to single out
railroad employees and deprive them
Of what he termed the economic
right Of workers to strike to pr
vent injustice, must be accepted, h.,
said, in connection with other in.
formation which the raih,oad bro
therhoods have, as conclusion
that the railroads contemplate
general reduction in wages when tn
government surrenders control and
deserve such measure to forestall
strike.
"If these interests or the legis
lators believe the railroad employees
will unrcsistingly submit to any
such invasion Of their rights a
citizerI" Mr.. Shea continued, they
had better expect that thought fron
their minds, because believe
speak for locomotive firemen and
hostlcrs at least when | say that any
law which deprives them of tn,
rights of American citizenship are
lawbrcakers, but because such
law would be unwarranted un
American and contrary to Amcri-
can institutions"

against high prices, said Mr. Shea
adding that if the cost of living l.
not reduced, then, they expect suf-
ficient advance in wages TO enable

running in debt from s. to $50 8
month because their wage increases
have not kept pace with mounting
prices.

to give the men a real cight-hour

never enjoyed despite the passage
Of the Adamson law Without pun

would continue to work the men a
long as ever before.
Locomotive firemen cannotp ply

been required to work" he continued.

acquiesced in because Of the war
emergency. They have decided that
after rearly four years of patien'

cannot be longer postponed .
Mr. Shea declared the patienc'

Would Mean Revolution. .

Would Mean Revolution
Mr.. Shea said such a law was al
most certain to precipitate revolu
tion and was in fact just what ex
treme radicals and revolutionary
agitators desire.
"This would give them logical ar
gument for direct action be as
serted, with the intention Of dis.
placing the liberal and more con
scrvatya leaders and thereby over
throwing the existing social, polti-
cal and industrial institutions Of the
country.
If an anti-strike law is enacted
thcresponsibility for any uphcaval
which might follow lies with Con
grcss."

testimony before the railroad wage
board in which he said the railroad

for a living wage and time and 4

rite congressional term" SO that

if you 4Te to be the star performer
in another. But in a jiffy the plan
rights its self and you are off on
the straight-away flight down the
river course towards the city.
The passenger on this flight, that
the writer is trying to describe
about the first sight at a distance
that caught his eye was the white
cotton in the fields. Ee called the
pilots atte7tion to it. and was told
it was the cemetery. 1t was uncanny
to connect the cemetery with
field Of cotton in the first flight
Il an aeroplane and the getaway
at that. But the cemetery was soon
forgotten and in a minute the plane
was well over the city. Here a
Wonderful view of Columbus il
spread out before you. THE busi-
ness district has the appearance of
a miniature city and the green trees
give it natural setting that lends
beauty to the scene. The flight af-
fords a sublime view of the sur
rounding country FOR many miles.
You seem to be in the center o
a circle miles and miles in circum-
ference and the distance pales
away into the horizon.
After Soaring over the city for
minute or two the pilot negotia-
ted a sharp turn towards the river
again and he yelled to the passen-
ger, Fifty per cent of the peopl0
on the ground think we are fall

people up here believe We are fall

But we didn't fall and the planes
rose was headed towards the land
ing field at a pretty good altitude.
Now, here is where the real thrill
comes, the real uneasinss and funny
feeling, the doubt about the sue
cess of your first flight and wheth-
er or not you are going to get
through it alive or not, for the
real danger is landing. You begin
to drop down, down, down. 1t looks
like the earth is coming up to you
and that you are rushing madly
towards it without a chance t'
stop before there is a collision. The
motor is off and you are goin
ahead and down at a tremendous
rate You wonder if you are going
to hit the trees or if the nose OF
the plane is going to act ugly and
slick up in ground. ButOu land
with a slight bump as the wheel

she settles down to an easy rolling
motion.
