TOO MANY AUTO ACCIDENTS

California reports a total of I sos
automobile accidents during the past
four months
OF these accidents, 1876 have re-
suited fatally, while 1910 persons
have been injured.
These appalling figures are not
compiled by unfriendly agencies
They are vouched for by the Auto
Club of Southern California. They
must be regarded, therefore. as add
ed argument in support of safety
first in driving.
Compilation Of similar statistics in
this state would be timely and inter
esting, particularly in view of the
efforts being made by state high
way police and the officials Of the
various cities to restrain reckless
drivers.
1t is certain, of course. that the
total in Washington would not be
nearly so great as in California, but
it is distinctly possible the figures
would shock those who have been
inclined to regard the restrictive eff
forts Of the authorities with indiffer-
ence or, in some cases, with impa-
,tience
The control of traffic in cities like
Seattle has reached a stage where
there is much to commend and rela-
lively little to condemn. Criticism
Is due only in instances where the
police, feeling they have the situa-
ton in hand, relax their efforts and
speeding, with it's inevitable accom-
paniment of accidents, becomes again
serious matter
The state highway police are in po-
sition to make the roads of the COM
monwealth just as safe by bearing
down hard upon those who presume
to regard these thoroughfares as
speedways. Early and energetic ac-
tion along this line would be produc-
tive of much goOd.-Seattle Times.

COUGARS DROP GAME
TO IDAHO VANDALS

Three hits and two errors in the
fourth frame of Mondays contest
spelled defeat for the Cougars at the
hands of the Vandals.
With one out Snow hit for three
bags, Wicks swung a bounder to
Rouse, who threw wild to Bray at
home to catch Snow coming in. Snow
scored. Rich" Fox walked. Lefty
Marineau singled to right field, fill
ing the sacks. Kinnison and Wicks
worked the squeeze play, Kinnison
laying the ball down the third base
line. Roberts handled it too late to
catch Wicks going home and then
drew Hanley's foot off the initial
sack with a wide peg. Stivers ham
mered one into deep center for
threesome, scoring Fox, Marineau
and KinnisOn. Obrien promptly
famed and Edwards banged out one
to center which Beneke handled cir
Gus style. That was the start and
finish of the Moscow scores but ii
was too much.
The Cougars scored first in the
last half of the second when Bray
hit to center field, stole second and
reached third on Beneke's sacrifice
bunt. Hanley grounded to short
stop, who pegged home in time to
nip Bray. Hanley took second on r.
Fox's error. Foster got freak hit
when he beat out Stiver's peg after
grounding to short, Hanley scoring
on the play. Foster stole second
Roberts was out on grounder TO
short stop.
The crimson and gray's second
score came in the last of the fourth
when Bray walked, took second on
r. Fox's error and reached third on
Clipper Cooks sacrifice grounder
to short. Hanley then rainbowed
long sacrifice fly to deep right, scor-
ing Bray.
In the ninth w. S c. again scored
when Moran singled and Bray dou-
bled to right field. Moran scored
on passed ball to r. Fox.
Lefty Marineau and Stivers
were the stars for the Vandals, the
former holding the Cougars to six
hits besides getting a couple of bin
giles for himself. Stivers with seven
we'll handled assists. four put outs
and a base-cleaning triple was the
real star.
Skadan pitched a good game out
side of the fatal fourth. Bray and
Moran were the Cougar high point
men with two hits each.

appears 10 be nothing less than
petty larceny, which deserves severe
condemnation and punishment.

THE NEXT STEP

As the next step towards an ulti-
mate warless world the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in
America is asking that the United
States become a member of the
Permanent Court of International
Justice. A memorial to this effect
was presented last week to Secretary
of State Hughes. Later it will be
sent to President Harding and the
Senate. Thirty communions with a
constituency of more than $4,000
coo persons are affiliated with the
Federal Council
Following its work in behalf of the
conference on limitation of arma-
ment the Federal Council is launch
ing an educational campaign in be-
half of international justice and
goodwill, known as the Ten-Year
Crusade. Church leaders believe that
the next step is for America to CO.
operate with the other nations of
the world by joining the Permanent
Court of International Justice and
frankly say that law must take the
place of war and that international
law and courts of justice must be
established if the world is to have
permanent peace, and that the United
States should do its part.
The memorial which was presented
is as follows,
Resolved that this administrative
committee OF the Federal Council of
the Churches Of Christ in America.
expressing the reported action OF our
constituent bodies in behalf of this
method OF settling International dis
aputes, earnestly requests President
Harding, Secretary of State Hughes
and the Senate TO take into consider
alton the Importance of such action
as may be necessary to enable the
United States to become a party to
and supporter of the Permanent
Court of International Justice"
a statement accompanying the
resolution said:
The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America sees
in the Permanent Court of Interna-
tionai Justice not only the fruition
and consummation Of many decades
of American discussions, plans and
desires for international peace
through justice based on law but
also the promise of a larger and
truer righteousness and justice
among the nations, a step forward in
the establishment of the Kingdom OF
God among men. II believes this
court will promote the development
OF well considered body of interna-
tional law and the substitution of

RETROSPECTIVE
Pullman Thirty-three Years Ago

The election passed off very quiet
~ in Pullman, only about half the
votes in the precinct being cast, and
judging from the vote there was very
little difference in the opinion of the
voters as to which of the two Pull
man men should represent them in
the constitutional convention. Mr..
Hungate, democrat, received 81
votes, and Mr., Phillips, republican,
rs votes in this precinct. While re-
publicans were naturally very anxi-
Gus to see their candidate elected
yet if a democrat must be the man
there is no one they would rather
see elected than j. A. Hungate, a
man who has the respect of every
citizen in the community. Following
is the aggregate vote of the precincts
of the 18th district ]. NJ. Reed, 565:
George Comegys, 555; j. A. Hungate.

THE ANCIENT AND HONORABLE
PASTIAIE OF PITCHING
HORSESHOES

Apropos to the big horseshoe pitch
ing tournament which is to be held
in Pullman, Saturday May 81, it
might be said that the pastime is an
ancient and honorable one, having
originated on the border land be-
tween Scotland and England. Refer
ences to it are to be found from the
beginning of the fifteenth century
Ascham. in his Toxophilus (1545),
referring to the game of quoits, says
that in olden times it was chiefly
often used horseshoes for want of
,quoits 1t is described as a pastime
resembling the ancient discus throw
ing except that the quot is lighter
than the discus and it's throwing is
a test rather of accuracy than of
strength
This record indicates that the pas
time has always been popular with
the common people, which is natural,
for the reason that no expensive out
fit is required A bit of vacant
ground four old horseshoes and two
wooden or iron pegs are all that is
needed to furnish as much amuse-
ment and excitement as can be de-
rived from other games which re-
quire far more expensive and elabo-
rate equipment. On the farms pitch
ing horseshoes has always been a
fayorite diversion and from the farms
come many of the most expert eX-
ponents of the game.
Because the rules are simple and
the required paraphernaliG is cheap
it does not follow that the game can
be mastered without skill and prac-
tice. 1t requires keen eye, steady
nerves and a trained arm to pitch the
shoes over or close to the pegs.
There is plenty of opportunity to
just as it leaves the hand to keep
ii from rolling when it strikes the
ground. Four evenly matched play
ers can afford lot of amusement
and excitement to the spectators and
work up plenty of enthusiasm.
This ancient and wholesome
amusement should bring big crowd
of country people to Pullman to root
for the champions of their respective
districts in their contests with their
rural and urban rivals. Some of the
city and college experts are very con-
fident that they can defeat any team
of farmers, but they are likely to be
surprised by the skill and nerve of
the soil-tillers when the matches are
under way. All that is needed to
assure the success of the tournament
is sufficient number of entries to
keep half dozen games going all
day long. City and college men may
be more expert at golf. tennis and
baseball, but when it comes to pitch
ing horseshoes the men and boys
from the country ought to be able
to more than hold their own 1t is
now in order for the country cham
pions to dig up their favorite horse
shoes and give the city experts some
pointers on how to throw ringers
and leaners.
Everyone should enter into the
spirit of this jolly. old-fashioned
form of entertainment and help to
make it big success.

of these petty thefts in which he en-
cages is lesseniug his regard for the
commandment, Thou shalt not
steal and is undermining his self
respect.
Instead of joking about and tao
lilly encouraging this petty pilfering,
right thinking students should re-
fuse to longer tolerate it. They
could soon stamp it out by calling it
by its right name and refusing to
associate with those who boast of
making free with other people s
property.

BRIGGS PREFERS
OFFICIAL STATE
PROVISIONS
By A. f.. Briggs)

The meeting of the Committee on
Charter OF the Parish Association
this week demonstrated one, thing
unquestlonably, and that is their
sincere desire to create an associa-
ton which would be operated in be-
half of the farmer, and if they fail
in attaining that object it will be
chargeable only to their lack OF eX-
perience in such business. 1t is the
writer's opinion that the only salts
factory basis for organization in this
state is that provided for in the
Act of 1913 relating to Cooperative
Associations. But the committee
felt that capital stock is desirable
and probably essential for raising
money to operate the business of
marketing the farmers products. It
is most commendable in them thai
they regard it the duty as we'll as
the interest of the business men Of
this parish to contribute as free
gift the preater portion of the small
capital of the Association. It must
be remembered that the members OF
this committee were not strictly
farmers, but business men, who
themselves would be liberal sub
scribers to this stock. 1t is the ex-
hibition of such generous spirit
which is the best assurance we now
have that St. Tammany parish has
set it's face in the right direction.
Surely anyone who would oppose
or wish i'll to an undertaking so gen
erously conceived deserves little con-
sideration. But in urging upon the
organizers of the Association certain
amendments in the originally pro-
posed bylaws, We have motive of
most earnest good will, desire to
assist in assuring the success of the
Association. We believe the measure
Of it's success will largely depend up
on obtaining large number of farm
er co-operators who have no hesi-
fancy to join it because of fear that
they may be bound by contracts not
advantageous to them. To remove
this difficulty we have proposed

AUTO PLUNGEs INTO WATER.

While driving in her Ford sedan,
Sunday, Mrs. Felix Bachemin, Sr.,
Mr.. Bachemin, Mrs. Felix Bachemin,
Jr., and three children, and Mrs.
Movers, were precipitated down the
embankment and into the water at
the approach of the bridge on the
Talisheek road in the outskirts OF
Abita Springs. Mr.. Bachemin re-
ceived a cut on the hand and wrist
and Mrs. Bachemin, Jr., was cut on
the face. Mono was seriously in
jured. Mrs. Movers was severaly
shocked.
The accident was due to washout
OF the approach to the bridge. 1t is
thought that Mrs. Bachemin on dis
covering the condition of the ground
ahead of her stopped over to set the
emergency brake, and in doing so
moved the steering wheel slightly SO
that the car sweryer into soft edge
of dirt, which gave way and the car
pitched into the water. Some people
near the scene rendered assistance
and all were safely taken from the
car. Mrs. c. E. Schonberg had driy-
en- over the bridge but a few mo-
ments previously.
