TROOPERS ENFORCING
ROAD SAFETY LAWS
FEW OF THOSE ARRESTED FAIL
TO BE CONVICTED.

An instance Of the efficiency Of West
Virginia state troopers is seen in a
record of LOT convictions out of a
total of ia arrests made during the
month of September, according to
Colonel Jackson Arnold, superinten-
dent OF the department Of public
safety. The record was made by troop
ers on duty at Huntington and con
ututed wholesome campaign against
Niolators OF traffic laws in that city.
Every one of the arrests was for driv-
ing without licenses or for failure TO
have the proper lights.
The Huntington detachment which
made the arrests comprises Sergeant
w. H. Pittsburg and Troopers Earl
Bray, z. w. Taylor, w. G. Brown and
Elmer Stepp.
Seven of the ia arrests ended in
appeals to higher courts. Fines netted
from the 107 offenders who pleaded
guilty totaled $l,5S3.60, including costs
OF $3.50 assessed against each one.
The state police of other sections
are also busy enforcing the traffic laws
as is evidenced by reports Of arrests
for speeding, blocking the road, park.
ing cars wrongfully, using the spot
light Illegally or running with the
muffler cut-out open.

Pessimism Has No Place in the Real
Spirit of Time of Thanksgiving.

After having devoted so much OF
our time to bemoaning the misfortunes
that have come to us as people dur
ing the past year, it will do us good
on this Thanksgiving day to stop and
look at the other side of the ledger
and cast up the account of the good
things that have come to us.
Our situation admittedly has not
been as favorable in many respects a.
we could desire. We have had prob
lens and difficulties which naturally
aroused dissatisfaction and discomfort
We have been been feeling mighty sor-
ry for ourselves.
Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could
bring no greater blessing to us as a
people than to readjust our perspec-
tive and displace pessimism with a
new spirit of optimism.
Before we enter into the true spirit
Of the day it is necessary to put away
our hatreds, our grouches and discun-
tents and center our thoughts upon
the blessings that have come. II ore
would give thanks he must realize the
fact of having been blessed, and in
doing so he minimizes the misfortunes
he has experienced The pessimist i.
in no position to give thanks. The
spirit Of optimism will possess us to
the extent that We are able to give
thanks in spirit and in truth to the
Giver of All Good Gifts today
For the fact remains that, in spite
OF our difficulties, we are the most
prosperous and the most favorably sit
uated nation on the earth and that
we have more reasons for contentment
and gratitude than any other people.
This Thanksgiving day, if observed
in the spirit Of those who inaugurated
it, is capable of lifting the spirit and
thought of the American people to new
heights and of ushering in a new era
OF contentment and happiness.
Thanksgiving day comes to mean
today not only an occasion when we
may express our gratitude to the Most
High for His care and kindness in the
past, but likewise time when by
mrshaling our blessings before us We
are inspired with new hope and cour-
age FOR the future.

COURTESY IS The RULE

1t is necessary not only for a state
trooper to ride and shoot well but he
must also have knowledge of the law.
OF the methods for detecting and an.
pretending criminals and of the legal
forms In prosecution Of cases. He
must know how to carry on his difi.
cult duties with the least interference
with the rights Of law-abiding citizens
The rule of the West Virginia State
Police require that every man must
be not only an honest police officer
but also a gentleman.

START SCHOOL
FOR TRAINING
STATE POLICE
kANAWHA CITY CHOSEN FOR
SITE OF RECRUITS CAMP;
All Troopers to Be Taught Laws AMI
Their Enforcement.

A training school for recruits to the
established by Colonel Jackson Arnold
at Kanawha City, Charleston suburb.
With it's establishment, the West Vir-
ginia troopers follow in the footsteps
OF the Pennsylvania, Michigan and
New York forces, which long ago
realized the importance of rigid train
ing for the exacting duties OF law en-
forcement.
The school Is housed in two-story
brick structure equipped with shower
baths and other modern conveniences.
1t Ia 80 by 60 feet in dimensions.
Seventeen men have been quartered
there for several weeks receiving pre-
liminary instruction under guidance
OF Private A. E. Slime. a seasoned
trooper
Recruits Study Laws.
Once sifted through this curriculum,
the recruits retained will be sent to
Beckley, where Colonel Arnold has ar
ranged with a number of well-known
attorneys to deliver legal lectures that
will give the recruits an insight into
the deeper aspects of law enforcement.
This is to prevent needless arrests
and assure the conviction of those Of
tenders brought to book. In all states
this has been regarded as the high
test Of forces efficiency and discre-
ton.
The Kanawha City school later will
be fully equipped with horses and mo-
torcycles. Rigid examination Of ap-
Plicants is being maintained. The
legislature authorized a full strength
OF 2S9 men, but so far it has been
kept below the 200 mark.

Newfoundland.

Newfoundland is the oldest of the
British colonies.
Years ago it was bought by Great
Britain for $50.
The area of Newfoundland is lust
about equal to that Of Virginia.
The total population is scarcely
equal to that of one of New York Civ
blocks.
1t is the only territory discovered
by Cabot which has been allowed 10
retain its original name.
Newfoundland is the resting place
for the Geographic cables connecting
North America with Europe.
The principal industries Of New
foundland are seal, cod and herring
fisheries, mining, numbering and paper
making.
Newfoundland has the largest and
pest equipped pulp and paper mill in
the world, located at Grand Falls, on
the Exploits river.
One striking popularity OF New
foundland is that no snake, frog, liz
ard toad, or reptile of any kind has
ever been seen there.

FORMER SOLDIER IS LOOSINC HIS
 REPUTE6' FIGURE
His Chest Has Slipped Down and His Waist Measure
 ment Has Grown.

LONDON, June 6.-The tailors say that the former soldiers is los ing his soldierly figure. His chest which, in wartime, was where a soldiers chest ought to be, has now slipped down to where it ought not to be and his waist measurement has developed extensively.
 The result is that the beautiful figure of the man of 1919 has be- come rare and fatness and flabbi ness, say the tailors, have taken the place of thinness and muscle.
 It makes my regimental heart bleed to see the sloppy way in which former soldiers now carry them selves said one who served as a sergeant tailor in the war. Look at that old tape measure hanging on the wall Note the finger marks about the 32-inch line. That was the average measurement of the war waist. Compare it with the finger marks on this peace measure which shows that the present waist is from 36 to 40 inches. My customers used to be like the letter I. Today they are like an S."

MISSOULA, Mont, June 6.-An attempt to combat the forces of na- ture will be undertaken by the in telligence department of the Forest Service this summer. The drive is directed toward lightning, which is said to be one of the most serious causes of forest fires in Western Montana and Northern Idaho.

The relation of lightning to the for ests and to climatic factors is to be given particular study.
