prominent part in shaping the affairs
OF the nation. Senator Smoot is now
in his twentieth year in the senate, IN
der the rule of seniority he will sue
coed next March as chairman of lae
committee to which all matters reIat-

Der of the Republican national COM
mittee from 1912 to 1920. When he
was first sent to the senate there was
a cry in many parts of the country to
unseat him because of his religion.
The fight lasted three years but in the
end Smoot won and he has served as
senator continuously since that time.
He was made chairman of the Repub-
lican senatorial campaign committee
in 1919.
Smoot is known as a wizard at stat

visited upon him for the violation of ordinances
of which he is ignorant. They will insist that
the law enforcement bodies do not fine him mere
ly for the sake of enriching themselves at his
expense. The tourist is to be given every con-
sideration.
That is the most sensible view of the question
which we have seen for a long time. Many Of
our own citizens have had experience in the
trap which a few officials maintained west Of
Dayton for many months. The peremptory man
ner in which men and women were fined for in
fractions of traffic laws of which they were ig-
norant created i'll will toward Dayton and de-
veloped resentment and prejudice.
Our own traffice officers would do well to
keep in mind the old maxim that courtesy pays.
They are instructed to be considerate to strang-
ers, and most of them carry out the injunction.
Strangers passing through Richmond know moth
ing about our traffic regulations. If they I'M
Willingly violate them, a kind word of correction,
and a courteous method of doing it, viii create
good will for the city. On the other hand, a
gruff and surly bawling out of the unfortunate
motorist only serves to arouse resentment and to
provoke wrath.
The National road is rapidly becoming one Of
the most important arteries of motor traffic in
the United States. The constantly growing
number of automobiles adds an appreciate share
of cars to the stream that uses this highway
east and west.
Cities through which it passes must not over
look the value of these tourists. Wisconsin is
capitalizing on its tourist travel, not only by pro-
viding good roads for their use, establishing
free camping sites and information bureaus, but
also by protecting them against the selfishness
and ignorance of petty officials, and by making
conditions as nearly perfect as possible for their
entertainment and enjoyment. Indiana and Ohio
cities may learn a profitable lesson from Wis
consin.

Enforcing Traffic Codes Sensibly

The highway system of Wisconsin is justly
renowned. for its excellence. Progressive men
have had charge of its development, and their
enterprise lis evidenced in many ways, not only
in the maintenance of a good surface road, but
also in the erection of signs and the establish
ment of bureaus of information.
The cities and towns of Wisconsin, realizing
the commercial value of good roads, are on the
alert to improve the whole system. Tourist
travel receives. special consideration, because the
residents realize that the traveller spends his
money where he is treated best, and advertises
the locality upon his return home.
Wisconsin, ike a number of other states, has
had its trouble with overzealous officials in small
towns who have been enforcing traffic regula-
tions with more srigor than sense. Back of this
official zeal is a 4mercenary motive, as the fines
enhance their own salaries or enrich the town
treasury.
Prosecutions of petty infractions of the traf-
fic ordinances by tourists is accepted as a deter
rent and menacing factor in attracting travellers
from other states by some of the wideawake and
sensible leaders in the good roads movement of
that state.
They have organized communities along high
ways much used by tourists. Whenever a tour
list is taken to court, a committee of citizens viii

After Dinner Trick
No. 2se-Turning the Coins

Set ten coins in a circle, as Illus
trated, with all of the heads up. Ask
some one TO start with any coin and
count around the circle to the right, J.,
2. 3, 4. The fourth coin the spectator
must turn over. He may then start
again on any head he chooses and count
1, ,, 3, +, turning the fourth coin. The
problem is to continue this procedure
until nine of the coins are turned tails.
The spectator. however, Will find that
after he has turned four or five coins
he will be forced to start on a tail, or
else stop on a coin already turned. The
performer, however. finds no difficulty
in accomplishing the task the first time
he attempts it.
The rule for success is very simple.
Start anywhere you please and count
/. 2, 3, 4. Turn the coin, and then Sc
cretly count three more. Skip them
and start your count on the next coin,
again counting 1, ,, 3, 4. Skip three
more and again count. Continue this
procedure and the trick will come out
correctly.

MOVING MOVING. MOVINGg

After all the substantial fact of life is that the human soul moves.
Though the good die young and the bad ride 0 n to their three cor
year and ten, yet do the souls of each move on.
We are mixed metaphors in a world of exquisite beauty. The
good and bad in u individual selves, and the good n bad among
people as a whole, must ever remain as the background for movement
in the world.
None of us is anything of which to boast.
The Infinite God reaches His hand as far for the bad as the good.
Because, you see, both belong to Him. And what good shepherd would
let a single one of his sheep go astray-even the least promising of
the flock?
Our progress may be ever so slow, or maybe not any at all! Yet
the very rising and falling of our breast in breathing the air about is
is evidence that there is movement in our bodies and that what
We do with u hands or feet, as well a S with what u thoughts
evolve, has a meaning and a reason.
All is change. That means movement.
Our great concern must be that W e keep moving into better at
mospheres-mentauy and spiritually.
The leader may fall but his spirit leads on!
Time and movement interock. Yesterday we wrote our letters
with a goose quiL-then a steel pen. Now we use a typewriter. To-
morrow they may be wreessed almost at the heels of our desires and
all things shall have moved closer together
The boy in school early appreciates this great fact of movement.
His dream is of the class ahead-untl O some day he has n more
classes ahead and must figure out his movements in tasks and achieve
ments.
And that must ever be the measure of our success and happiness
how far and how well we have moved-ahead!

Richmond's youngest aviator, Art
Raphael, an employe of the Murray
theatre, made an attempt to operate
his airplane glider from the bank of
the river just west of the Main street
bridge. Mr.. Raphael made a success
full start but was later seen perching
in the top of a tree half way down
the bank. 1t took several ladders
to extract him from his position,
but the local Darius Green suffered
nothing worse than a broken knee.

II TERRACE

W. @nTTSG
I have a friend who lives in an in
stallment bungalow on a terrace-one
of those things you see advertised
a good deal in the real estate pages
Do you know What it is, a terrace?
A terrace is a place where they build
twenty-five suburban villas exactly
alike.
Your neighbor can sit in the dining
room, reach owe into your dining
room, borrow the salt shaker. use it
and sit back without leaving his chair.
When you do your daily dozen in
the morning you put your fist through
your nieghboT's library window and
knock a book full of perfectly good
imitation gin off the shelf.
Relations become strained. Not
only relations, but people you never
knew before.
If you leave your bedroom window
open at night, you are liable 70 roll
over and hit your neighbor in the
jaw, and he'll think his wife did it
and get sore.
You can start a nice vegetable gar
den, but the only space to start it is
under the cement sidewalk between
the W houses.
When you come home late at night
the only two ways you can ~inGentify
your own home is to have your wife
leave her foot sticking out of the win
dow.
And ever then somebody $ liable
TO come along and hang a May basket
or a spare tire Or something on it.
And then again. if three or -four
neighbors tried that scheme or the

Women don't have to go calling or

IS just to open all the windows and
talk.
A burglar only has to break int
the middle house and he can reach
into all the others from there.
