COX PLANS FOR BIG OFFENSIVE
Daily Bombardment of G. o. p. Posi-
ton Governors Campaign Plan.

Columbus, O., Sept 1-Governor
James NJ. Cox, personally directing the
strategy of the Democratic campaign,
plans to lombard his Republican op-
ponents with a series of attacks be-
tween now and election day to keep
them continually on the defensive.
This was the answer from a promi-
nent leader in the Cox camp today
when asked if the governor, having
charged that the Republicans were
seeking a campaign fund of $15,O0O.-
600 to buy the presidency, and having
sharply attacked Senator Harding and
'the senatorial oHgarchy," had not
used up most of his campaign ammu-
milton.
Cox advisers believe by forcing the
Republicans to offer explanations con-
cerning their campaign funds, he has
put them definitely on the defensive.

court after Howat had spent several
days in Jail. Recently the higher
court affirmed Judge Curran's order
and held that the law under which
sentence was imposed was constitu-
tional. Howat then filed application
for rehearing. The courts denial of
a rehearing permits Howat to appeal
to the United States supreme court.
Sometime ago it was reported that
Governor Allen had urged that Howat
be sent to Jail. No action was taken
by attorneys for the industrial court,
tho, since there was doubt as to the
right to send Howat to Jail while his
rehearing was pending. An applica-

Injured at Green Creek

At twilight last Saturday evening,
as Roy Scull, a High school boy, of
Dias Creek, was passing through the
village of Green Creek in his Overland
car, on his way to Rio Grande to at
tend a meeting of Pomona Grange, of
which he is a member, he accidently
struck and seriously injured Edna
Bailey, eight years old, who with sew
eral children was playing along the
side of the main street directly in front
of the Green Greek post office. Just
before the accident happened a big
sedan IA had gone by and the chill
dren had paused in their play to see it
roll along. The driver of this sedan
threw out a circular or paper of some
kind which blew to the opposite side
of the street from that on which the
youthful playmates were standing.
Little Edna made a dive to cross the
street to pick up the paper and did not
see the car driven by young SculI until
it was directly upon her. She was
struck hard and thrown some distance.
Both of her legs were broken and she
received a confusion oa the forehead.
The little victim vas picked up hasti-
Iy by her mother and Mr.. Scull aud
brought to DR.. Kelchner's Emergency
hospital in Wildwood, where her limbs
were set, after which she was taken
back to her home in Green Creek, and
placed under the care of the family
physician. DIR. Kelchner accompanied
the child and her mother to their
home. The young nan was mortified
over the sad mishap, declaring that it
was impossible for him to stop his car
In time to avoid striking the child.

MANY CHANGES IN . TRAFFIC LAWS ARE
 IN NEW ORDINANCE

 four Safety Zones Placed

Birmingham's new traffic ordinance will be passed on by the boardNof com tnissioners of the city at an adjourned meeting Friday. The commissioners were so occupied with the argument pro and con over the adoption of the eight-hour day ordinance that there was no time for the consideration of the new traffic ordinance at the Tuesday meetings.
 The ordinance has many new sections designed for the protection of the people in the loop or downtown zone of the city. The code fixes the loop zone as the territory between the north side of Fifth avenue, the east side of Twenty-second street, the south side of Morris avenue and the west side of Seventeenth street.
 In this section of the city it shall be unlawful to make a complete turn al any corner By complete turn is meant fhe turn which would be made by ve- hicle in bringing it up one side Of street and down the other side of the same street For instance. the illustra- ton given is If a car running on the west side oi Twentieth street wants to park in front of the First National Bank building it cannot run to the corner of

Second avenue, circle around the traffic cop eff any) and then come back on the east side of the street. The car must run up to First avenue on the left side, circle the block bounded by First and Second avenues and Twentieth and Twenty-first streets and then come back turned toward the north, thus making it lawful to run on the east side of the street and park in front of the First National Bank building. This will take more time, more trouble and more gaso- line, but there will be less danger of accidents at corners, according to George Lewis Bailes, assistant city attorney.
 Every person who drives car must have a permit These licenses will cost s each and will be continuous. They can be revoked in cases of violation or the law and reckless driving. The only drivers who do not register under this permit system will be the licensed drivers of public vehicles.
 The paragraph about dinners and headlights has number of new and interesting regulations. One of them ;s that a movable spotlight on the car can not be used to illuminate the road di- rectly in front of the car. Of course, the dinners must be put on cars when approac ching and passing other cars. A regulation that no headlight on an auto mobile shall throw rays higher than 42 inches above the ground at distance of 50 feet is another feature of this section of the ordinance.
 Sixty-four safety zones designed to in sure the safety of passengers entering and leaving street cars, to facilitate the street service and also for the conven- fence of the automobile drivers who may pass street car outside of the safety zone while the car is standing still have been designated in the traffic code These zones are on the principal streets and avenues of the city.
