DANGERS OF BICYCLE RIDING CAUSED CITY
DADS GRAVE CONCERN IN DAYS OF 1896

Bicycle riders had their troubles
back in the nineties, when the sport OF
cycling was in its heyday. That BIZ
cycle riders of that time encountered
many of the same difficulties that lat
er confronted the man who would
drive motorcycle or automobile, is
evidenced by a glance at an ordinance
passed July 6, 1896, and now on the
list to be considered bby the ordin-
ance committee of the council for re-
pealing. -....
1t starts off mildly enough, by pro-
hibiting the use of wheels on side
walks. 1t reads: at shall be unlawful
for any person to ride any bicycle
upon or along any sidewalk of the
city, except in crossing same by way
of ingress or egress to or from private
premises"
Speeding was mildly INDUCED in
then. 1t went by the general name of
"scorching' at times, and it grew to
be such a popular diversion that Cen
terville-Richmond records were a mat
ter of debate. The man who could
pedal his safety" from Centerville
into Richmond in the shortest time
was the hero of the hour.
axes Serious Action.
Finally after due elaboration, the
city council decided to regulate the
practice Solemnly it issued the fol-
lowing ukase:
mo persons shall ride a bicycle on
any street or avenue, or other public
highway at a greater speed than 10
miles per hour, and this speed is to be
reduced to six miles per hour at in
tersections."
Those were the days of the scare
headlines in the old Sun-Telegram,"
said one citizen Saturday The Sun
would come out in screaming type
with something like this: Serious BIZ
cycle Accident! Reckless Rider In
iures Citizen! So and so collides with
so and SOL
ct was discussed just as seriously
in those days as we DISCUSS the auto
mobile question now. They didn't
seem to think that it was almost i'm
possible to injure a man by hitting
him with a bicycle, even if you tried
to run him down with one. No. in
deed! A bicycle was considered a
dangerous. piece of furniture then"
Conduct Regulated.
The conduct of cyclists was care
fully regulated. In the same piece of
Legislation passed in 1896 which laid
down the restrictions given before,
we find this section:
"Not more than two persons shall
ride bicycles abreast of each other or
any street, avenue or public highway
And this: mo person shall rid
any bicycle on any street, avenue O.
nuhlic highway without n suitable bel
attached thereto"
The penalty for violating any one O
the above provisions was fine up T.,

KNOCK WOOD" IDEA
OLD SUPERSTITION

1t seems like slang. Yet it can
scarcely be considered in that classifi-
cation, because the phrase of good
luck comes from an old Danish myth.
Knock wood" We say it often. But
few people know how the byword
came about. Here is the authentic
origin:
According to Danish tradition. when
ever an old Danish sea captain was
about to start on a long journey in his
wooden vessel, he would tap on the
side of his ship and stand silently by.
1t was a superstition that the elfs of
the forest would come out to bless his
ship because it held millions of their
kind in its timbers. Whatever the
cause. Danish ships submitted to this
quaint ritual seemed to acquire immu-
nifty from the perils of the sea. So
the superstition became a custom.
And the old idea has come down to
us IN modern times. That is why we
do not want our luck to desert US.

. G2SERTS NEWSPAPER
STANDARDS HIGHER

The fourth annual convention Of the
Indiana Intercollegiate Press associa-
tion convened in first session on the
second floor of the library Friday
afternoon. Delegates from Indiana
university, Purdue university, DePauW
university and Indiana State Normal
school were in attendance.
After opening remarks of welcome
by Charles Robinson, president of the
association, the meeting was ad-
dressed by Luther Feeger, managing
editor of the Richmond Palladium.
The subject of Mr.. Feeger's talk was
News Values
Mr.. Feeger defined news as "a rec
ord of action" and spoke in an inter-
esting way of the Importance Of char
acter in determining news values. He
said, "By far the most important asset
that any newspaper can possess is the
asset of public confidence"
Mr.. Feeger showed how the profess
sion of journalism has changed in the
last decade from one of ill-trained men
TO a profession calling for as highly
specialized talent as any in the en-
tire country. He pointed out that from
a position comparatively low in ideals
and yellow journalism tactics general
newspaper policy all over the country
has been raised to a higher standard
of moral character which more ade-
quately fills the demand for clean
direction of public opinion.
At the business session of the In
diana Intercollegiate Press club, held
at Earlham Saturday morning, the fol-
lowing officers were elected; Presi-
dent, Hazel Pigg, State Normal; vice
president, P Talbot of Purdue; secre-
tary. H Boyle, of State Normal, and
treasurer, Charles Blackburn, of Earl
ham. ...-.... .
It was decided to hold the next
meeting of the association at State
Normal. Reports were made Saturday
morning of the work of their press
clubs 1t was also decided that yearly
dues of So per college were to be
levied.

C. OF C.. LIQUIDATION
is Determined UPON
BY DIRECTORS BOARD

Directors of the Richmond Chamber
of Commerce have decided to discon-
tinue the organization. Efforts to re-
organize the chamber have been in
progress for several weeks. but dis
agreement as to the method to be used
in the reorganization caused the board
10 decide to liquidate
Three plans have been considered
but local business interests have been
unable 10 unite upon any one plan. A
suggestion that number of represen-
tative men form civic club with dues
OF 500 or $3.50 a year met with op-
position and the plan was discarded
Members who favored this plan said
the money would have been used to
hire secretary of high class execu-
tive ability and that the men who
would have composed the club would
have given freely of their time and
effort to boost Richmond.
Labor interests were said to be op-
posed to the club plan although 1t
was suggested that the labor organ
1zations buy seat and appoint dele
gate to represent them. In view OF
this feeling of opposition, the board
decided to liquidate the affairs of the
chamber and let the matter be work
ed out in some other way
No Membership Refund
Members who have paid their dues
IN advance will not receive any re-
fund, as many members have not paid
their dues and the money will all be
needed to liquidate the affairs of the
organization.
Members of the board stated that
little interest was being shown in the
Chamber of Commerce by the mem
bers generally and that the brunt of
the work and responsibility had to be
borne by a few members In view
of this feeling, it was felt best to dis
continue the organization.
The board of directors Saturday is
sued the following statement:
WHEREAS, after an aggressive
attempt at reorganization of the pres
ent Chamber of Commerce covering 4
period of about thirty days. it has
been conclusively demonstrated that
1t is impossible to bring about an
agreement among the various business |
interests of the city, regarding plan
for the financing of the organization, |
and through lack of interest on the
part of the present membership to
render service or financial support, |
Therefore: |
BE 1T RESOLVED: BY the duly
elected board of directors that in or
der to eliminate any further possible |
Indebtedness against the Chamber of
Commerce, the organization be dis |
continued after April 80, 1922.
