SAY TRUCK DRIVERS
ARE VIOLATING LAW
REGARDING MIRRORS

Despite the fact that state law
requires rear view mirrors on motor
trucks and on all commercial cars.
and the further fact that these mir
rors must be so adjusted as to give a
view of the rear to the driver no mat
ter what sort of load he has, it has
been reported that there are many in
stances hereabouts where trucks have
no mirrors of any kind and wherein
truck drivers have their mirrors on
little dinky arms which will not un-
der any conceivable circumstance give
them a view of the rear, load or no
load.
The attention of constables and 9th
er peace officers is being directed to
the violation of this law all over In

sued by the Hoosier Automobile as

GOVERNMENT SHIP
BUILDING STOPPED,
IS LASKER'S REPORT
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-The gov.
eminent will build no more ships,
Chairman Lasker. of the shipping
board, declared in an address TODAY
before the annual convention here Of
the Chamber OF Commerce of the
United States.
President Harding has placed before
congress program of legislation that
undertakes to overcome the difficult
ties now facing private operation of
ships. he added, and unless that legis.
laton is enacted the art of shipbuild-
ing IN America will wither and die"
MI, >Lasker said that the proposed
SNIP subsidy legislation admittedly
consisted of artificial means to meet
the situation, but it is only through
the temporary use of artificial means
tnat the situation can be permanently
saved, and this administration de-
ciares Its belief that the adoption OF
the program which it proposes will
save the situation and make America
potent in its own rights on the seas"
America must have merchant mar
inc comparable to that of Great Brit
ain, the speaker added, if it is to
nave naval power potentially equal
to that of Great Britain.
Great Britain Ahead
II all the naval ships in the world
were strapped" Mr.. Lasker said,
Great Britain, through her preponder-
ant merchant marine, would be more
supreme on the sea than she could
ever hope to be otherwise Certain
types of merchant ships are as essen
tial to the operation of a navy in
times of war as the capital ships in
the navy itself. This type in America
is sadly deficient compared with Great
Britain with a ratio of to 1 in favor
of the latter, and there can be no
! thought or hope of the United States
keeping a naval parity with Great
Britain unless we create merchant
marine power to equalize this differ
ence."

SAYS FINANCE PLAN
FOR LATIN AMERICA
NOT GOOD FOR Chile
DIV Associated Pressl

SANTIAGO, May 1S.-The plan dis
fcussed by American financiers to
utilize surplus stocks of gold in the
united States for the benefit of GER
tain Latin-American countries with
view to aiding exchange values
would not be practical for Chilli, in
the opinion of economists here, since
she already has accumulated what is
considered an ample gold conversion
| fund for possible redemption or stabil-
| ization of paper currency This fund
amounts to 100000 gold pesos
approximately $4,000, 900 = part of
which is held here and part in Lon
| don.
The generally accepted view is that
/ business men and industrialists in
this country would welcome some
practical activity, toward stabilizing
| the paper peso, since its exchange
value has experienced long periods of
! virtual anarchy and, in relation to the
I dollar, gradually has fallen from the
war figure of three to one in 1919 to
more than 10 to one in 1922.
These violent movements in ex-
change have been great detriment
/ to commerce and to invested capital
and have been the cause, it is as
serted of a certain amount of com
mercial prejudice against the United
| States, due to the rise of the dollar.
However, it is not thought that United
States gold would be required in the
proposed regulation of exchange in
order to bring about a normal resump.
ton of trade between the two coun.
tries.
Amount of Exports
| American exports to Chill in 1918
according to figures published in La
Nacion, amounted to 203, 100000 gol1
pesos while in 1921 they were less
than 100,000000 gold pesos
Chilli has been accommodating its gold
as a conversion fund against possible
redemption of sterilization of its pa
per money for a number of years
with the intention of establishing Z
central bank with similar functions as
the Federal Reserve system in thC
I; United States. The bank would EN-
ploy this gold as a reserve agains
a convertible and elastic paper cur
rency.
The present gold conversion fund
it is claimed, would support papei
money to the amount of 100000, 90,
pesos. According to economists.
! circulation of 300, 900, 900 pesos woult
be ample for the needs of the coun
! try.

IN Pennsylvania became famous and

was DIR. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some of his medf-

Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
his "Favorite Prescription" and placed
1t with the druggists in every state.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as tonic for
diseases peculiar to womankind. After
suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy,
weak and dragged down by weak
nesses of her sex-a woman is quickly
restored to health by its use. Thou
sands of women testify that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has entirely
eradicated their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful dis
covery of DIR. Pierce's, called An-uric
(for kidneys and backache), has been
successfully used by many thousands
who write DR.. Pierce of the benefits
received that their backache, rheu-
matism, and other symptoms of uric
acid deposits in joints or muscles have
been completely conquered by its use.

In garbage pals and even In paper

RETURN OF THE FILIBUSTER-

The narrow majority of the Republicans
in the next congress has revived the fill
buster 1t is, according to reports, to be
invoked in the special session of the pres
ent congress and in the regular session in
December to hold>up legislation and force
a special session Of the new body before
the regular session 13 months hence. The
ship subsidy bill, regarded as likely to get
through the house in short order, is, ac-
cording to this program, to be INSTRUCTED
in the senate until the new congress, when
lit is believed to have no chance of pas
sage. The Dyer anti-lynching bill and the
loan to Liberia, the other pending meas
ures, may meet like fate.
Regardless of the merit or otherwise of
these bills, the return of the filibuster is
to be deplored. Besides its waste of time
it is officially indefensible, since it befogs
the issue. The resort to parliamentary
tactics of obstruction instead of straight
out vote on the measure at issue is a
species of political pettifogging with in
finitely more possibilities of thwarting
than advancing the wish of the people,
Votes are swayed by irrelevant factors
and worthy legislation is more often pre-
vented than vicious legislation is defeated
by this circuitous method. But with the
margin so close in the next congress, the
country is probably going to see lot of
filibustering in the next two years.

The first musical play presented
upon the American stage was THE
Beggar's OPERA by John Gay. which
was produced ut the Nassau Street
theater In New York I'll years ago.
A considerable proportion Of the TO-
900 people then comprising the popu-
lation Of New York attended the per-
formance, although there were not a
few who protested against the god
less affair" and threatened to have
the law on It,"
The Murray & Kean company, a
band of comedians who went to New
York from Philadelphia, was respon-
sible for the production. It was n
benefit performance for Thomas Kean,
who personally called on the leading
citizens and sold tickets. The per-
torrance began at o'clock and was
over at S:45. A harlequin dance, a
pierrot dance and "The Drunken
Peasant were presented as entertain
ments between the acts"
THE Beggar's Opera" was long
popular, and some of Its lines are still
quoted, among them: "How happy
could l be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away !"-Chlcago Jour-
