SMALL TOWN SPEED LAWS
The III Bred Motor Hogs Show OF
Badly.

Badly.
Just why motorists, who in their
home cities recognize the necessity of
traffic regulations and speed limits and
expect to observe them, should become
possessed with a mania for burning
up the road" when passing through
country towns, and should resent ef-
forts of small town officials to inter
fere with them, is difficult to under
stand. They want rural communities
TO construct good roads for their
pleasure and benefit, but they dis
courage such construction by their lack
Of consideration and disregard OF law.
1t may give a motorist a sense of
eXhilaration to astonish the natives by
dashing through their towns at sixty
miles an hour, but it certainly is q poor
contribution to the movement for bet
ter highways. Laying aside the ques-
ton of damage to the roads, dwellers
in small places have children whose
lives are as precious to them as are
the lives of city children, and if they
are forced to make choice between good
roads and safety for their children
they are very likely to choose the
lesser Of the two evils and let the roads
go to pot.
OF the many thousands of Wash
ington residents who own cars and
use them to drive into the surround
ing country it is probable that the
! needless and reckless are in a very
small minority, but the law abiding
and considerate majority are made
to suffer for the misdeeds of the few.
Residents of Virginia and Maryland
know that if they came to Washing
ton and hit it up" through the
streets they would be very promptly
and very properly arrested and fin
ed and naturally they resent the at
titude of motorists from Washington
who seem to think traffic regulations
in these small communities are a joke,
and that it is Smart" to disregard

had his MarSnal Groucny held the
Prussians in check a bit longer. The
mortality was very high in this battle,
they fought at close quarters and
killed almost 80 per cent. In the
crowd with us that day were some
colonials from Natal, Africa, pure Eng
lish of course, but it shows the long
distance some people travel to visit
the famous battle field. One man told
me he had two sons in the World War,
one of whom paid his own way to
England, some 1000 miles and enlist
ed as a private. Canadians, Austral-
ians and South African colonials are
much like our Texans--the same stripe
and you can tell them where you see
them and you will generally like them.
Ancient City of Metz.
From Brussels to Metz is a pleas
ant ride in a comfortable train and
you are then in what was German
territory Metz Is on the beautiful
Mozelle river famous for it's wines
and fertile soil. 1t is an old city,
naturally easy to defend and the
Romans fortified 1t some 1000 years
ago and built six military roads out
from it-one to Verdun-another to
Rheims. Notice that now, please, how
well the Romans knew strategy and
how history is always repeating itself
A of thn ott ie, o,.t Of
fine stone aqueduct which the
Romans built to carry water some
thirty miles, from a mountain. The
arches still stand and the brick and
concrete work are good. Don't forget
that. the Roman was n good brick
mason, good stone mason and that
terity the Italians are still our best
masons.
Metz was destroyed by the Huns
when the Roman empire fell. The
American army was in sight of Metz
when the armistice came. 1t was con-
sidered impregnable by both Germans
take it, not by direct attack but by
isolating it with attacks from the
north and south. Many buddy will
remember those long range naval
guns we had on railroad tracks which
were shelling Metz in November 1913.
l saw today where the shells were
falling. They were falling at q bridge
in the lower part of town and the
shell holes are still visible. They did
no great damage, but they threw the
fear of God into the German and he
quit.
The French have about $4,000
soldiers in Metz now and it presents 4
warlike appearance with its airplanes
buzzing around, its tanks and artil
lery. The soldiers look much better
than the average Frog soldier during
the war, for they are young, we'll
equipped and snappy and the officers
look like very capable men. A NUM-
ber of colonial soldiers are there also
they are Moroccans from Northern
Africa.
Lafayette was once governor of
Metz and the Knights of Columbus
from the United States recently un-
veiled a monument to him, with
Mashal Foch, President Poincaire and
other notables present. 1t is a fine
monument and stands where the
kaiser's monument used to be, but the
funny thing is that it has on it's base
General Pershing represented as
saluting Lafayette and saying LA
Fayette, we are here" Pershing is
represented as a short stocky fellow,
giving French salute, while every
dough boy knows that Black Jack
Pershing is not short and stocky and
never gave q French salute.

SIGNIFICANCE OF FRIENDSHIP
TEXT OF DIR. H. S. DAVIDSON
I'm SERMON BEFORE ODD FELL NS

pendent on circumstance rather
than on principle.
And let me illustrate this in the
common relationships OF men and
women. Let me illustrate it in Odd
Fellowship. A man unites with the
order. He doesn't measure up to
its standards. He brings reproach
upon his brother Odd Fellows. He
is taken sick and the sickness is
exceedingly serious; and what
makes the situation still harder Is,
that the man is without means.
The case is brought up in the
lodge. A member may be moved
to say, "He is not worthy of our
help. He is no credit to our Or
der" Whatever a brother Odd
Fellow may feel like saying, what
he does say is, HE is an Odd Fell
low, and that is enough" Friend
ship, as understood and practised
by Odd Fellows is not something
which depends on circumstances.
1t is a principle.
Friendship, whether in its rela-
tionship between man and his
God, in which case it is called re-
ligion; or in its relationship be-
tween husband and wife, in which
case it is called conjugal love; or
in its relationship between man
and man. in which case it is called
.neighborliness friendship, in any
or all of these relationships, is not
an accident. 1t is a principle. 1t
depends, not on circumstances over
which we have no control. but on
character over which we do have
control. 1t is the divine in man
finding expression.
And so we gladly welcome to our
