All the more appreciated because of
the hard storm Of Sunday. the sun
came out bright and warm Monday
morning and hung during the day
from an almost cloudless sky. There
was gentle breeze blowing, in
which fiuttersd hundreds of American
flags at half mast Among the flags
were the little emblems that marked
the graves of the soldier dead in the
various cemeteries.
Monday was Memorial Day. IL has
grown TO mean more and more as
the years have passed At first the
observance was more a memorial TO
the fallen hreoes Of Antietem. Harp
er's Ferry, Gettysburg, Shilo. and the
many other battles and engagements
Of the Civil war. But with the added
Spanish American War and the late
World War, with common consent, the
day has become one of solemn mem
DRY and remembrance for every
American soldier from the Revolu-
tionRry period TO the present and the
exercises include the decoration of ee-
cry grave where a soldier or sailor of
this country is known to lie sleeping.
Although the day is set apart to all
soldier dead never will there come a
time when the observance will not
first cali to mind the great struggle of
the blue OF the north and the grey of
the south But from year TO year the
ranks OF the Boys Of 81 have been
depleted. Each year the sounding Of
+ taps in the cemeteries Of the north Is

ned that the younger generations
have taken up the active obseryanees
of the day. But as long as the world
shall last, regardless of what the flu
ture may bring forth, Memorial Day
will always have the significance as
belonging first to the Grand Army of
the Republic. This even though
thoughts Of soldiers of other wars
and services and memorial exercises
f in their honor are broadly included as
the day assumes wider significance.
And so il was this Memorial Day of
1921. The graves Of all soldier dead
were decorated; the deeds Of all were
lauded; and the people. especially the
younger generation, were urged and
implored to take pride in their great
heritage and to uphold its honorable
place among nations Of the earth
made possible by the sacrifices Of the
men whom all had gathered TO honor.

The Headlight Ordinance

What has become of the automobile lighting ordinance into effect with something Of a flourish of trumpets about year ago? half dozen devices all of them good were adopted and pre- scribed They calculated to do away with the garng headlight and furnish sufficient light for drivers of the lighted machines without obstruct- ing the vision of oncomng machines and pedestrians
 little later through some influence this list of devices was extended until it included almost any sort of device that suited the fancy, that in short time we had again the blinding headlight, frequent of accidents night and against had the lightning bug" hardly visible light.
 Now the ordinance appears to have fallen en- tirely into disuse. One stand along the street almost any night and here is what he in the procession: blindng glare, machine with a single head light, with all. A very large ratio of the machines have tail light. Conditions really than they before this enacted
 The other night the writer nearly witnessed the running down of a couple Of pedestrians at the of Center and Adams street They started across Adams in the fierce glare of two headlights ap- preaching the crossing half block away. This blinded them to the presence a large automobile without headlights which they escaped by a hair
 We do not know why the headlight ordinance has become dead letter. Has it been allowed to become moribund because of the near approach of the city election? If we think strategic mistake has been made Not only pedestrians but the average law abiding owner of automobile would feel friendier regulations for the safety of themselves and the public.
 There may be better reason why the ordinance has been allowed to fall into dsuse We would like to know why just for the satisfaction of burning curiosity
