ARREST THE AUTOMOBILE

Santa Ana Register: In one of the
eastern cities that have been having
most trouble with the regulation of au-
tomobile traffic, the city council ap
pointed a special committee to revise
the traffic ordinance. The committee
included the chief of police, the police
prosecutor, the chief justice Of the mu-
nicipal court, the city law. director
and representatives of the local auto
mobile club, and so ought to know
what it is about.
This committee has submitted, as its
principal recommendation, the sugges
tion that in cases of traffic law viola
tions, the automobiles belonging to the
offenders be impounded in city gar
age for given period and the owners
be obliged to pay storage charges
There would be additional punishment
Of the driver in any case warranting
| it, but the procedure in normal cases
would be to arrest and imprison the
car rather than the driver.
This does look like sensible solu
tion, for the general run of traffic of
fenses. To almost any automobilist, los
ing the use of his car is more serious
than paying fine, and should have
a correspondingly wholesome effect il
encouraging careful driving.

Somehow Ruth was glad it wdsn t the

Chapter VIII Continued

There was a singing, metallic noise

Garrick thoughtfully laid down the

trated Garrick.
Well!' Where Ruth is, that 3

When her mother s car pulled up at
the Club that afternoon, Ruth hoped

Her mother stood and looked at Ruth

had told only just what she wanted and
no more, just as if it had been the
whole story to the whole crowd.
"These flappers don t need a mother
or diplomat; they are all the wisdom
of the world condensed,' soliloquized
Mrs. Walden.
1t was perhaps an h our or two
| later in the afternoon when the big
story had become ancient history, a
| mere nine minutes wonder, that Ruth
at the Country Club began to feel lone
some. With no car, it was almost as
| bad as no legs.
AS if in answer to a prayer for new
| hearts to conquer, Jack swept up with
a furry in his crimson chummy cal.
There was nothing flustered, moth
ing hurried about Jack, although he
left the motor running, throttled down.
No one could have been more diferen-
tial or reassuring to Mrs. Walden. She
did not like the boy, but on second
thought she was forced to admit to her
self that she had nothing con- him.
The conversation waited merrily to
the new chummy car.
Wouldn't you like to try the new
boiler?''
"Would I! Run me over to Mer-
rihew s garage. / want to see that
