Speeding Auto
Causes Accident

Two of Mr. Alvin Browns small
children had narrow escape from
a fatal accident on Saturday night,
when some speedster in a cut-down
or racing car ran into the hind wheel
of the little open buggy which the
Brown children use in delivering milk
and by the impact tore the harness
from the horse, tore the wheel to
pieces, somersaulted the children over
the dash board and under the horses
feet, knocking the little boy quite
unconscious and dazing the little girl
long enough that had the horse not
been gentle as he was his heels might
have easily finished the accident or
by running away there is no telling
what the consequences would have
been.
The accident happened on the wide
Central avenue close to the curb
in front of Mr.. Peterson's home and
from the rear which gives the often
der no excuse as pedestrians near say
there were no other cars passing at
the time. There were three in the
speeding car according to report and
they never paused to see the extent
of the damage they had done but
speeded up the more to escape recog-
milton. Such people are potential
murderers and when caught should
forfeit the privilege OF driving car
and have Imprisonment instead of a
fine as their punishment.
The children are getting off with
cuts and bruises because of the al
most human intelligence of the horse
which the driver of the car So notably

LAUGHABLE INDEED Is
THE STORY OF us MATRI-
MONY A FAILURET'
Situations Are Humorous While The
Appeal Is Irresistible

Galesburg is highly respectable
and muchly married community. The
husbands have all been caught young
and tamed-they walk in a straight
and narrow path mapped out by their
wives. AS a result, there is much
pickering.
Mr.. and Mrs Amos Saxby celebrate
their silver wedding, attended by the
Galesburg's Socially Prominent. Mrs.
Sayby has picked Dudley King, law
student, as a fitting mate for her on
ly daughter, Margaret, but Margaret
has fallen in love with and planned
an elopement with Arthur Haviland
bank clerk
During the progress of the silver
wedding feast the elopement is sue
cessfully carried out. When Mrs. Sax
by discovers Margarets's note, stating
that she and Arthur are on their way
to Bald Knob Lodge in the mountains
to spend their honeymoon, the sill
yer wedding festivity is thrown into
a confusion.
1t is King, the law student, who
puts the final dramatic touch to the
catastrophe. He states, officially, that
the marriage license clerk being away
On his annual hunting trip, the license
secured by the clippers is illegal and
consequently the young people are not
married King wires the proprietor of
Bald Knob Lodge that one Arthur
Haviand and Margaret Saxby (un-
married) plan to spend honeymoon
at this hotel
After series of exciting adventures
extending through the night, Arthur
and Margaret succeed in escaping from
the lodge and make their way back
to Galesburg. On their arrival, the
young people are torn apart and Ar
thur is informed as to the condition
OF affairs. Indignantly he confronts
the assistant, demanding an explana-
ton as to why the man. unauthorized
by the government, should issue
license.
The assistant defends himself by
stating that for the past thirty years,
during every month of November, he
issued licenses, while the regular
clerk was on his annual hunting trip
| his information is a bombshell Half
, OF Galesburg inhabitants were mar
ried around Thanksgiving time and
half of the husbands find themselves
free
The abandoned wives hold a coun-
Gil OF war and decide to let the men
have their fling. They go about their
duties as though vastly relieved by
the change. After time the husbands
begin to yearn for their homes, and
gradually slip back to the partners of
their joys and sorrows. They are for
given and taken in.
The license clerk returns to straight
en- out the tangle. Then we discover
that the town is married, always has
been married. Arthur rescues his
bride just before his rival carries her
off TO the minister, where unwitting1y
he would have made her a bigamist
And now we find that the married
couples drop back in the old rut-the
routine of pickering and quarrelling,
and the same old Juggling at the yoke.
So at the end, as in the beginning, we
ask: Is Matrimony Failure?

Plan 180, 600 Miles
Improved Highway
Program For Next Few Years Work
Will Be Great Development.

WASHINGTON.-A program for
good roads construction during the
next fifteen to twenty years which
will make the road transportation ia
cilities of the United States far exceed
those of any other nation, in the
world, past or present, is the aim of
the federal government. The high
way of Rome even, whose fame has
come down through the centuries
will pale by comparison, officials de-
clare. Under the program, there will
be built, during the, period, 10000
miles OF improved highways, which
will constitute the federal-aid high
way system, and an equal or greater
mileage of state and local roads.
Details of this vast program will be
placed before the conference of the
highway education board, meeting
here from October 20 to %, by state
highway engineers and officials of the
bui eau of public roads, of the United
States department of agriculture, to
whom has been entrusted the work
of planning and supervising the con-
struction of the federal aid highways.
The plan will be presented espe-
cially to enable the board to proceed
authoritatively with it's work of de-
vising aids for schools and colleges to
which the road builders of the coun-
try are turning for competent high
way engineers.
Officials of the bureau place this ag-
gregate cost of the federal-aid pro-
gram alone at about $3,000,0O0,000,
spread over the period They base
their estimate on an average cost of
$4,000 PSF mile. The average cost,
in turn, takes. into consideration all
classes of improved highways from
the lheapest to the INST expensive.
Approximately one-tEirn of the pro-
posed hystem, or $4,000 miles of I'M
proved highways, already are either
built or building.
The program is anew one. Up to
comparatively recent ars the bu-
reau declares, road building in the
United States has been conducted
without special regard to a national
system. Highways had be con-
structed where needed without con-
sidering whether they would link up
i'll the most effective fashion with the
whole net work of roads projected to
spread over the entire country Engi-
neers had sought more to meet i'm
mediate and local demands than the
broader requirements of the States
and the nation.
