 dent The moment you, or anyone else d!sregnrds the traff,c rules and tries 'o set past car on the wrong side, or tries to pass q standing car when people may possibly be alight- Ing, you become not only law breaker but lawbreaker of con temptible type. This, unless other circumstances compel you 10 disre- gard the rule in order to preven. accident from another source.
 It Is impossible for traffic rules to cover all situations that may possibly come up. IL is impossible to frame speed regulations which are fair and right under all conditions. But ths rule regarding the passing of cars, and all rules regarding the safety of pedestrians who are not in position to see just what the danger is, are adamant.
 Many people feel they are justified in driving according to their rights. If there is an accident, and they have kept within the letter Of the law, and the accident is the result of a misstep or misfortune of the victim. they feel no remorse, That is just the point. The driver of an automobile is handling a tremendously powerful machine capable of destruction. That driver should take care to guard against the possibility of another's misstep or misfortune or temporary torgetfulness. The driver should exercise unusual care in handling his powerful machine.
 No driver of car should take itI for granted that a pedestrian will not make misstep or a mistake. He. the driver, makes mistakes in the operation of his automobile. but the results are not as disastrous as a rule as the misstep or temporary excitement of the pedestrian in street crowded by vehicles
 On the other hand the pedestrian should remember that the driver may make mistake, may find that his brakes are not working properly. Neither the pedestrian nor the motor lst should stand on their rights" Each should think of the other.
 And above all things a driver should obey the rules about passing street cars.

the place of inaeeuraey, and the people will grow 10 rely more and more on tho published news, When the press of country reaches the s.Rge where the people are able to re,y upon its statements, then begins the true education ef the people. the true benefit from public criticism comes. and improvement in public men and methods results,
 One of the hand,cnrs under which Russia labors at thls time Is the lack of freedom of her press, II the people could be taught just how her stand in regard to communism Is looked upon by the rest of the world, just why the theories of her leaders are wrong, and how much Russia is the loser because of the refusal of those leaders to abandon their sophis- tries. the end Of those sophistries would be nearer As long as the people remain in ignorance of all they are losing. so long will the Soviet leaders be able to hold their influence.
 The fact that the press'tn Mexico is more free than at any time With period of some years, lends hope that more understanding and common sense, unpreiudiced Mexico may come into being.

BRIDEGROOM SHOT
 AT WEDDING PARTY
Former Sweetheart Then Kills
 Herself Instantly

Toledo, July 13,-A few seconds after Kenneth Glumm, salesman, and Miss Pearl Thomas had been married in fashionable apartment near the Toledo club here, the we'd ding party was interrupted by an intruder-a woman-who shot Glumm through the lung and then killed herself.
 He belongs to me" the young woman shrieked as, in view of the minister and the startled guests, she aimed the revolver at Glumm and fired. The girl died instantly. Glumm was shot through the lung and is in a serious condition.
 The young woman's name is Eve lyn Courtoure.
 Friends of the Glumms who were present at the wedding last night told the police today that the young woman had haled Glumm on tke street earlier in the day and had threatened his life.
 T love Kenneth and must have him for my own" she is said to have warned Miss Thomas on another oc- cas1on. When she appeared at the door of the apartment last night just before the wedding the bridegroom asked her to go away. Ignoring his requests, however, she forced her way in, and as the minister pro- nounced the words that made the pair man and wife Miss Courtoure rose, darted from among the specta- tors and opened Are. She shot her self twice through the temple.
 The police say they believe that the shooting and suicide had been carefully planned. In Miss Cour- toure's handbag they found vial of acid. They were unable to get statement from Glumm today, but his bride told them that there never had been anything serious" between her husband and Miss Cour- toure.
 They had been school day sweet hearts only" she asserted.

ENGLAND AND MILK.

The chairman of the milk commit tee of the English National Farmers
 Union was sent to this country to investigate the manner In which peo- pie here saw to it that they might obtain pure milk. Tn America" the
 Englishman remarked after his inves-
 tigations here, there is much more inspection of the farms than here
 The question of clean, pure mix Is treated by all concerned as one of vital importance" He com plains of the indifference of the people on the subject in England Milk is milk sums up their attitude.'' he says, and they do not seem to care how or where it is produced Very often, indeed, those who are interested in buying milk here for public institutions such as hospitals, buy on contract in the very cheapest market irrespective of quality or cleanliness. It is all a matter Of education. If people here see the necessity of having clean milk in bottles and are prepared to pay the small increase in price, they can have it."
 Of course such comments about milk surprise us in this country. It is almost inconceivable that people could fail to realize the necessity of taking special precautions regarding the milk children and adults drink. But it may be said without offense that the habit of the English to arrive at Improvements in the practical things of life slowly, explains their failure to bring about a system of milk inspection such as we have in this country
 The remarks Of this Englishman emphasize the necessity of keeping important movements, such as that for the greater care in regard to the milk supply constantly before the people. It is a matter of education Had 1t not been for publicity organs such health betterments would not have come. It remains the duty of publicity organs to keep the people educated on such matters. The remarks of this man emphasize. also the fact that England is recognizine the need of taking greater care that It's milk supply be kept pure. We, in this country, should not merely rest content and feel f1attered that o,,r methods are being investigated by the English. We should try to keep on improving in those methods to the end that there will be no lessening or the care with which the supply of that Important necessity is guarded

FEEL NEW IRISH
 DRIVE IMMINENT
Free Staters' Program Indicates
 Extensive Warfare Ahead

| London. July IS, (By Associated
 Press).-The provisional Irish free state governments decision to con- centrate its energies on overcoming the republicans and establishing order throughout the country before sum moning the new parliament is taken to indicate that military operations on a considerable scale are impending. The republicans since their defeat in Dublin have strengthened their po- sition in the southwest and are now prepared to put up biz fight. They are reported to have taken a line from Waterford across the country to Limerick as a defensive front, en- trenching themselves in preparation for the expected free state assault. Communication Broken.
 Communication between Dublin and the country to the west of this line has been almost non.existent for some days. The statement given out by Patrick J. Little, head of the re- publican publicity department Is be- ucved to be correct. He claimed the republican forces were in complete control of the whole country from Kerry to Newtown Barry and from Kerry to County Mayo.
 Cork is supposed to rank as the republican capital but the military headquarters are at either Mallow or Limerick. There is an unconfrmed | story that the republicans recently seized the radio apparatus from a | steamship and transferred 1t to Nal low thereby enabling the republican commander Liam Lynch to keep in touch with the whole republican area.
 Notwithstanding a Dublin dispatch lin reports recur that he Is with the rebels in the southwest
 The mystery of his whereabouts furnishes the subject for fresh rumor every day and there is even one story that he is dead This report is given little credence in well in- formed circles.
 Contrary Reports.
 The situation in Limerick is con- trarily reported. According to one version there was sharp fighting in lllC tDN II ] uCSuds HE tuc Ollci account is that peace is being main tained under precarious truce.
 Meanwhile the national army is re- ported to be strengthening daily, re- cruits being sent to the various depots for intensive training. It is stated that, among other reasons for post poning the parliament meeting, many members of the Dali who hold com- nands in the army cannot be spared from their military duties.

GANDHI.


 mantically interesting personality now before the people. His hold on the people of India is based on their belief that he Is earnest. The belief is based on the fact that he practices the sacrifices he breaches. He is no hypocrite His fight is against civili- zation-against England only because she represents civilization. He Is frank to admit that India would be just as bad if India had the power of England and were possessed by the civilized instincts of England. Reading Gandhi's words it is scarcely possible to believe that he is an Oxford graduate. a man of learn ing and culture. After all his educa- tion, his understanding of modern civilization, he comes to the conclu- sion that the evil of the world comes from civilization alone. Hospitals are the institutions of the devil, he asserts. Were they to be abolished and with them mans ability to cure sickness resulting from wrong doing, there would be less wrong doing in the world.
 IT the sole purpose of life were to find contentment; if the aspirations and ambitions which are ours are things meant not to inspire endeavor to create new and better things: if the talents" which are ours were meant to be wrapped in napkin and buried'-if these things were true there would be some soundness In Gandhl's teaching. Granted that after years of simple living, subsistine on the flesh of the beasts of the forests and the wild things that grow in the ground we would become hardy and strong, it is conceiva ble that we would be far happier in that primitive life than we are today in the worlds complexities. The things We now consider comforts amounting to necessities would be comforts no longer but rather expressing chains quite as the mountaineer, accustomed to sleeping in the open, is oppressed by the air of a wooden shelter.
 But as long as man has a soul: as long as we crave something greater. we could never be contented or happy in that life of retrosression dandhi would say such primitive life was one rather of progress, not a going backward. He seeks the natu. ral; he would have his people unlearn what they have learned in fifty wears. If, in the unlearning process man could cut from his mind the spark which separates him from the beast making him higher being, Gandhi's creed might be the true creed. But IS long as we possess the soul which hopes and aspires, Gandhi's teachings Ire as false as falsehood may be con- ,eived.

RAILROADS REFUSE.

The rail heads are standing on a technicality in refusing to confer with the leader of the striking shop men, Bert M. Jewell. They will not deal with union whose leader has fouted the order of the Railroad Labor Board. They take the same stand the Board takes officially in regard to these unions. If the unions will obey that order and go back to work. thus re-establishing themselves as aw-abiding organizations, there would be a different story. In other words the railroad operators refuse to recognize unions which the board will not officially recognize
 The technicality lies in the. fact that the offer Of Jewell, of the shopmen, has been sent to the rail operators through Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the board, acting in his personal capacity, not as chairman, The rail heads seem to believe that acknowl- edging and acting on this offer would be surrender by them and possibly, by the board itself. MT. Hooper does not consider such would be the case.
 Distinctly the rail heads cay settle ment of the strike is for the Railroad Labor Beard. They, the rail heads, will obey it's orders in regard to con- ferences, but will not confer other wise The Board, however, while Jewells organizations are on strike and still refusing to recognize the order of the Board cannot consistently recognize the disobedient union. If the rail heads persist in standing on their technicality, which is unfortu- seems out of the question Either Jewell must rescind the strike order and have his men go to work, pend ing discussion with the rail heads which would then be possible and which might be followed by a re- hearing before the Labor board if a compromise had not been reached, or the railroads must abandon their technicality and discuss the matter now. It would seem that Jewell would be wise to take this course. the same adopted by the maintenance of way men and the signal men. It would seem that less permanent settlement would be made f an, i other course were followed, even though the roads and Jewell should | meet through the abandonment by the roads of their stand.
