Ku KluX
 Kla1l Is Opposed
Former Judge Henry c. Stevenson, Who Has Re signed From All Secret Societies, Says Klan Is Un-American In Spirit.

Although its members claim HOO per cent. Americans,' the Ku KIux KIan which has recent Iy made its appearance in this in spirit and opposed to all the best traditions of this country, former Judge Henry c. Steven son, well known Bridgeport at
 tOrney, declared today.
 And because he is opposed to sec recy, Judge Stevenson. who was a former State Grand Master of the In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows, l1ls resigned from these and other secret societies to which he belonged.
 societies in this country are tho roughly bad in character. Judge Stevenson refused to be drawn into discussion of the Ku Klux Klan, cussed attention upon other secret societies, that he believed it un- American and that it sought to draw it's memb ership from other secret so- cieties.
 Said Judge Stevenson in outlining his views on secret societies:
 Some oppose the Jews, some the Protestants, some the Roman Catho- all forms of government, some are revolutionary, some oppose labor some oppose capital, etc. Practically all claim to be IRtriotic. Some have the creeds: America for Anericans,' 100 Per Cent. Americans.' etc.
 Their Good Points.
 '"The biggest of them are doing great and good work; many of them having commendable sick benefit ana insurance features. But any and all of the good which any of them ac- complishes could just as we'll and better be done with open doors and without any secret signs, grips, pass words, and iniations. Some of the limitations are vulgar and rough and sometimes a candidate Is seriously i'm jured. perhaps for life.
 Many universities, colleges, ana high schools have ruled out all secret societies as harmful to the students in many ways. Secret societies in thefr essence are opposed to democracy ana our republican form of government, alth ough a few of them may in the past centuries have favored some use full purpose in countries ruled by autocratic monarchies Some of them breed contempt for others: some c. them breed national hatnods among natura1ized American citizens.
 ''It must be said in their favor that most labor organizations prefer to avoid secrecy; although some of the biggest of the railroad employees as- sociations or brotherhoods are of the secret type.
 "A few of the worst of the secret societies are distinctly revolutionary

SUGGEST YELLOW

nails Along Roads to Indi-
cate Danger.
ENGINEERS APPROVE SCHEME
IL VIII Take Some Time to Make
Change az Laws in Many States
Require Red Lamps-Replaee-
ment Won't Be Costly.

d. - s%& 50
Automobile engineers are consider
Ing the ACCESSIBILITY of using yellow In
place Of red tail lights so as to min
imize the danger of motorists confus-
ing lights placed along highways to
indicate dangerous road conditions
with automobile tall lights.
Many accidents occur owing TO mo-
florists being confused In this way.
The red light on the rear of the rail-,
road trains is probably the origin Of
the red tail light of automobiles. The
railroad train operates on a track and
the rea end OF that train Is dangerous
because q train following cannot turn
out to avoid the preceding train. AS
automobiles do not operate on tracks,
however, an automobile following an
other can generally turn out and pass
1t. IL Will thus be appreciated that the
real end of IN automobile Is danger
GUS only when 1t is slowing down or
standing at the roadside. The use of
red lights In automatic or manually
operated stop signals for the rear of
automobiles is therefore logical.
The members of the passenger car
and motor truck Standardization COM
mittees OF the Society Of Automotive
Engineers. a national engineering So
ciety of ove 5000 engineers and ex-
e%cutives of automobile and other auto
motive manufacturers. have studied
this proposed change and generally ap-
prove of 1t. The fact. however. that
the use of red lights Is required by
law In many states will mean that
the change to yellow tall lights cannot
be made until the laws In these states
are revised.
II will, they point out. take some
time to bring about any complete
change from red to yellow tall lights.
but once the wisdom of making such q
change Is fully appreciated by motor
lists. legislators will see that the state
highway laws are revised to permit
the change. The use of existing tail
lamps will In no case be affected, as
II will be possible to obtain yellow
lamp glasses to replace the red lamp
glasses now In service. IL such re-
placement Is wished by the individual
owners
The use of yellow as an automobile
tall light will have an exact parallel
In railway operation, inasmuch as vel
low is used by the railroads as a eau
ton light. This is really what the
tail light of an automobile Is intended
to be. to caution the following machine
that care must be exercised In over
taking aud passing other automobiles.
