MOTOR TRAFFIC
SIGNS PLACED
IN COUNTY

Special signs warning motor traffic
which have been erected in various sec
tons of Lake county by the Lake coun
ty branch of the Hoosier State Auto
mobile Association are only a part of
the protective work being done for the
automobile owners of Indiana by the
state association, according to a state
ment issued by Dick Schaaf who i
general chairman for the Lake county
branch of the association Trail mark
ings and danger signs will be found all
over the state" according to A. S
Hess, special danger signs and warn
ing signs are being erected west or
Gary, and have already been put upon
Whiting and other centers in this coun
ty and the work is constantly being
extended. What we need now" de-
clared Mr.. Schaaf's statement. is the
cooperation of motorists in this Vi
cinity We are providing emergency
road service, free tow-in, free delivery
for gasoline. free mechanical first aid
and such service to our members in the
Lake county vicinity. Besides these
members are also members of the Amer
lean Automobile Association and as
such are entitled to service and court
esy in larger cities nearly as well as
in 1000 cities where A. A. A. clubs
are situated. The first duty of Lake
county motorists is to show their 10y
atty 10 their home state. affiliate with
the association that is providing the
protective legislation, and wear the
Hoosier State emblem on their radia-
tors. 1t is worth just much in
Chicago any other emblem.
I'VE are doing lot of work now and
t. -fr1p- AS
memberships increase our work grows
apace--in fact the work, always goes
on ahead of the memberships. But the
point is. closer utilization of automo-
bile owners in this section will result
in greater good to them. If you are
inclined to be selfish. that is the best
reason you should affiliate with this
organization. We help you to look out
for your own best interests much bet
ter than you can help yourself.
Il wonder IL motorists who do not
belong to the association ever think as
TO the costs of the public work we are
doing and wonder who pays? They
know it is not costing them a solitary
cent yet they are deriving some of the
benefits. This is not right; they are
willing to admit we are doing a good
work and they should be willing TO CO.
operate with us so we can do much
greater work. That's the story in
nutshell and I put it right up to the
automobile owners hereabouts. Get in
with the Hoositer state and let's all
help pay for the progressive work be-
ing DONE
Mr. Schaaf announces that touring
information service will soon be avail
able at Crown Point Hammond. Gary,

GERMANY LACKS RADIUM,
HAS BARELY ENOUGH TO
MEET MEDICINAL NEEDS

Berlin, March 23 Once the chief
producer Of radium, Germany now
has barely enough to meet the medi-
cal needs of the great universities.
There is only one gram of radium in
all Berlin. and proportionately even
less at Heidelberg and other univer-
sity cities.
The shortage is said to be due to
the fact that Karnothit, used in the
manufacture of radium, is no longer
imported from America. The Ger
mans say the United States could
supply plenty Of Karnothit, but IN
view Of the low purchasing power Of
the mark the Germans cannot afford
&c buy it.

FLOWERS PLACED ON TOMBS
(By Associated Press)


Paris. March 254Flowers are
brought by an unceasing pilgrimage
Of mourners and placed on the slab
that marks the grave Of the uniden'
titled French soldier under the great
Arch Of Triumph that dominates the
western part OF the city
The pile OF flowers and wreaths is
fed with fresh contributions from

monies by organizations held at the
grave to honor the war dead Little
shop girls bring small punches of
violets that cost so centimes; states
men passing through Paris place
there great wreaths as tributes from
their countries.
Since November II, 1920. when the
unknown soldier was placed under
the arch, there has always been
group or crowd Of mourners at the
| hrine Of the dead. There has al
ways been a huge pile OF flowers.
F., On Sundays, thousands stream there
from the II avenues that converge at
the Etoile, as the circular open space
surrounding the arch is called and
there is a procession of people with
barred heads passing BY the mound Of
flowers.
Many teachers bring their classes
land there is a movement afOot to ar
range that in each Of the public
schools Of Paris small contribution
ishall be collected on a separate day n
each school to buy flowers to be
placed on the slab by a delegation of
honor pupils, so that there may be
such a tribute Of the children Of
France to the war dead every day Of

Low NECKED GOWNS
MAKE INSURANCE HIGHER

Geneva, March 25.-Swiss women
who wear short skirts and low-necked
gowns viii have to pay higher rates
of life insurance than those who do
not. The Swiss insurance companies
have announced that fixing the pre-
miums ON policies OF women's lives
they will take into consideration the
women s wearing apparel. The
shorter the skirt or lower the decol-
letee, the higher the insurance rate
will be.
The Swiss companies justify this
action on the ground of a great in
crease Of illness and disease among
their women clients which they claim
is due to the wearing of short skirts
and lownecked dresses.
