HOW ABOUT THE GANG AND PEN
Instead of Fines for the Rich Speed
FiendS?

News and Courier.
The tragic end of William Hood,
Jr., contains another lesson beyond
that which we sought to bring out
the other day. This rich young man,
it will be recalled, son of William
NJ. Wood, the wool magnate of Mas
sachusetts, snuffed out his own life
and that of a companion when he
drove his automobile into telephone
pole at the end of a mad race in the
course of which he smashed into two
other motor cars on a Massachusetts
road. There was an element of dra-
matte irony in the fact that he him.
self met the fate to which he had eX-
posed innocent travellers along that
road.
Therein lay a striking warning to
speeders. Il turns out that there is
in the episode instruction for the au-
thorities also-for those whose duty
it is to guard the public from such
men as this unfortunate youth.
Young Wood, it appears, had long
record as a reckless driver. Many
times, it is stated, he had been
brought before the officials in differ
ent towns because of this disregard
of ordinances and laws. Sometimes
he was compelled to pay small fine;
but fines meant nothing to him. Once
his license was suspended, but it was
soon given back to him by the state
highway authorities on his promise
to be good.
The outcome is an emphatic dem
onstration of how Intellectual such a
policy as this and must always be
as means of protecting the public
against an all too common menace Of
the highways-the reckless motorist
who is willing and able to pay for
his fun. For such men petty fines
only add to the zest of the sport. The
Wood case should be of interest to
those who are charged with the max
ing and enforcing of laws to protect
the public on the roads.

To You.

My love for you is a splendid song
Aglow with fire and gold.
A song that thrills with the love OF
life
And the good that life can hold.
Sweet as the blood of. the roses
heart,
Pure as an angels soul,
Wide and deep as the worlds great
sea,
That flows from pole to pole.
I know when my span Of life is spent
In the starry ways above,
There can be no song in that won
drous world
Like the song of my deep, true
love.
Midst flowers or showers or changing
cline,
Meath skies that the gray or blue
My heart is yours till the end of time
So I sing my song to you!

And slows himself inside 'em.

GULF OF MEXICO
SHOWS SIGNS OF
BECOMING CUSHER
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Exist-
ence of a huge untouched oil field
under the Gulf of Mexico is strongly
indicated in data just compiled by
the naval photographic office and
made public today.
Many recent reports to the hydro
graphic office by ship captains tell
of oil bubblng up through the water
or brought to the surface with anchors.
Ships officers have described passing
through large oil "slicks. ="
The reports have caused wide spec
ulation in naval circles as to how the
oil could be brought out,
In shallow water the problem would
be an easy one, as oil wells are now
in operation in the surf along South
ern California coast, but no plan to
pipe the rich fluid up from great
depths has pet been devised.
photographic records of the last 20
years have been compiled and the res
ports of numerous ship captains show
a striking similarity regarding the
oil spots. Year after year these oil
indications ore reported in official
records, mainly from an area that lies
Just southeast of Galveston.

WIDOW WINS IN SUIT
FOR $4,000

The state supreme court awarded
damages of $4,000 to Airs. Gertrude
Lawrence and her small son, who sued
the Southern Pacific and Walter ID.
Hines, director general of railroads
during the war, following the death of
her husband, George V. Lawrence, who
was killed by a Southern Pacific train
on the Orange street spur crossing,
April 3, 1919.
In the original complaint, the rail
road company and the director general
were named as codefendants, charged
with negligence ON grounds that the
spur crossing at Orange street was not
properly protected. Lawrence was
driving across the railroad, and owing
70 the location of building adjacent to
the crossing, was unable to see a string
of ears which the railroad company was
backing on n siding. The ears crashed
into the automobile in which Lawrence
was riding, completely demolishing it,,
and inflicting injuries from which
Lawrence subsequently died.
An order of substitution, signed by
Judge f. A. Luce, and dated April 2S,
1922, made James G. Davis, successor
to Walter ID. Hines, sole defendant in
the ease. The decision of the supreme
court reversed superior court judg-
ment against the railroad company, but
affirmed it as to the director general,
which makes the U. S. government La
BILE for the Judgment.
Charles Childers was attorney for
the plaintiff, and Hickcox, Crenshaw
and Trude for the defendants.
