Dark Days

There is no coal in yonder bin,
and vanished is the cordWood
pile, and so it's with a ghastly
grin | call on men to sing and
smile. The fearful children cry
for bread, for shredded oats and
butter-fat: | have to give them
bricks instead, and they won't
thrive on grub like that. For
every one in town has struck tor
this or that or t'other boon,
shorter hour, an extra buck,

have the price, but there IS
neither coal nor wood: the deal
ers hand me chunks of ice, and
say that they are just as good.
Was ever such outlandish luck ?
Our coin won't buy the goods
we need; for all the woozy
world has struck. and industry
is gone to seed. All day the win
try wind has whooped, the seer
foretells another storm; around
a candle we are grouped; alas,
it fails to keep us warm. The
country's full of useful truck we
need, and have the wealth to
buy; but all the world, it seems,
has struck, and SO we sit and
freeze and sigh.

POLICE WILL ENFORCE
AUTO LIGHT RULES
Necessity Shown in Order Issued to
Members of Department by
Mai. Pullman.

Necessity for strict enforcement of
the regulations requiring lights on
automobiles is shown in an order is
sued to members of the police force
by Maj. Pullman. superintendent of
police. The order reads:
AN automobile running through
the streets with one or more lights
out endangers the life of every other
motorist and every pedestrian.
"A driver operating a machine with
front lights out is likely to be run
into by another driver. who does not
see the first machine in time to avoid
accident.
"A machine running with the tail
light out is likely to meet with a
rear-on collision.
"A lightless automobile running on
any highway is always a menace.
You will, therefore. assist in the
movement TO save human life by en-
forcing strictly the police regulation
calling for two white lights on the
front of the machine and one red
light in the rear. A machine stand
ing at the curb may use one of the So
called parking lamps
And by all means enforce strictly
the regulation against dazzling head
lights. the kind which blinds every
driver on the road coming in the op-
posite direction"
