WANTS SEARCHLIGHT LAWS.
To the Editor. News Times:-The
natural sequence OF increased auto
mobile traffic by night has been the
equipment of pleasure and business
cars with safety devices designed for
the insurance of motorists and pc
destrians against accidents. One of
the most universally employed de-
vices is the revolving searchlight
which, IL rightfully used insures
night travellers against roadside
dangers.
The device created for the purpose
of protection is often anything but
that when placed on the cars of un-
thinking or careless motorists. The
searchlight was made TO be attached
TO the car in such a manner as to
focus its rays along the road edge in
order to warn the driver of bitches
or distractions. In St Joseph coun-
~ the majority Of motorists seem to
regard possible danger only as ap-
preaching from oncOming vehicles,
for the prevalent custom in this vi
cinity among drivers is the focusing
Of the spot light directly TO the cen
ter of the road, thus binding occu-
pants of oncoming cars, and adding
no feature Of protection 10 the
driver
Is II not possible for the county
commissioners TO pass regulations
that will protect motorists Of county

my mind whether the American or
any other nation should bother itself
with such problems.
In the last message sent by Trotz-

want any help from the capitalistic
class. but just from the proletariat.
That means America can not send
any food 10 Russia, for it has to be
backed up by American capitalists.

think that the producers could af-
ford such large contributions Then
the shipping facilities have TO be
provided. That means more cap
ital. Now, all Of that is against Mr..
Trotzky's wishes, for he would
rather see young and old die than
to get help which would not be in
accord with his fanatical ideas.
The best way would be for the
proletariat in the United States 10
