you don't want to look at them you don't have to. But the billboards glare at you, defacing the cities and defiling the country
 Great advertisers who use the news papers don't use billboards.
 Every spot of beauty in the country is fouled by some gigantic sign de- voted to pills and piffle. Even the churches would save you by them.
 The bill stickers can't make them artistic. They can't get decent ar- tist scarce to work on them. I know an artists who was said to have turned down an offer of $10,000 rather than have his art reduced to such filth,
 Billboard's don't appeal to intelli- gent people, but only to illiterate oafs. America Is being flooded with the rubbish of Europe and this form of fooh advertising Is dedicated to them.
 Cowardice of the highbrows, who could stop the billboard disgrace if they wanted to, and the internal ig- norance of the people appealed to are to blame. We have plenty of laws to stop them, but the laws are not en- forced. No law is enforced in this country if anybody can make some money by breaking it.
 They stopped them Tn England, where it is illegal to put up any bill board which obscures the view of the landscape. In cities it is illegal to put up billboard that is a silhou- cite against the sky. And it is illegal to throw an illuminated sign in the nF IO ing here. These laws mean that all billboards are illegal.
 If there must be outdoor advertis- ing let them use small posters on buses that do not stand still and ob- literate scenery; or klosks for posters, as in France!
 Billboard men themselves admit billboards are only one per cent of all advertising. Well, if it's so small as that it wouldn't be much loss to the bill stickers if billboards were torn down.
 Rotten signs are all over the coun- try. The waste of lumber and elec- tric light on broadway proves we are idiotic children. Chicago had its blot in a huge Boost Chicago" sign at the entrance to the fine new bridge leading to chewing gum factory. Near Grants Tomb the streets are full of defacements. The beautiful Horseshoe Curve near Altoona has a billboard monstrosity Welcome to Our City"
 What We need is cabinet depart ment to rugulate these things-a Minister of Fine Arts who could res cue a coutry now going to ruin.
 To get rid of billboards tax them out of existence. Tax the farmer who rents his barn, the landowner who permits sign to be erected, the bill sticker who puts up the bill and the, goods that are advertised. And make the taxes so high that they will wreck the billboard.

Feminine Attorney,
 in Public Life for 30
 Years, Gives Views

CHICAGO, Apr. S.-"The paths of glory lead but. to the grave
 An attorney had used the quotation as the finishing touches to his argu- ment.
 To him the phrase was grandilo- quent, uttered for effect.
 But there was one in the court room who heard, and was reused in- to a peculiar consciousness by the words.
 That person was Mrs Leonora 2. Meder, also q lawyer.
 Days after, the line kept repeating itself.
 Decides On Home
 And then she asked herself:
 Home or Career?"
 And the answer was simply: Home"
 That's how Chicago has come to lose its foremost woman politician, club leader and barrister.
 I'm going to chuck It all." says Mrs. Meder. For the glamour of public life, womn give up children, husband and home. Success? Fools goldi I'm through. The end is the grave. Empty nothingness!"
 And this decision she made after 30 years of intimate dealing with the public.
 It came right on the eve when the had announced her name as4the can didate for. judge at the coming cleo tions.,
 Success is hers!
 She was the woman who had been public welfare commissioner, and the first of her sex to sit in an Illinois jury box.
 Her practice at law was bring in more than a handsome living.
 But, "No,' she said.
 It's back to the home for mine. Not that have neglected the one ] have, nor the duties to my children one, my. own; the eight others, my sisters little orphans. I've tried to be good mother, but I feel now that l might be better one.
 After all, the old-fashioned mother was the best of her type. She might not have known much about anti septics, adenoids or tonsils, but she surely knew how to bake an apple pie.
 "Homel What a wonderful word. That's woman's sphere. waited 30 years to convince myself just what 1t meant way down in the Quintes- sence of the thing"

Z CITIES JAIL
 SPEEDERS, GUT
 OUT ACCIDENTS
Detroit and Cleveland Judges Send Motorists to Workhouse
 and Accident Rate Drops

Workhouse sentences curb speed CTS and reduce street accidents close to 50 per cent.
 Experiences in Detroit and Cleve. land prove it, in cold statistics.
 Both cities are automobile centers. Both approximate a million popula- tion. Both have suffered a rapidly mounting death and injured list from traffic accidents, despite the efforts of safety committees. well.trained traffic squads of police, and educa- tional campaigns.
 It so happened that the traffic courts of Detroit and Cleveland were at about the same time placed under the Jurisdiction of judges who be- lieved jail sentences were the proper doses for traffic ordinance offenders. Both judges have courage Irrespec- tive of pulls. personages, or personal friendships these two judges have refused to let off traffic ordinance offenders with small fines and sus- pended sentences.
 Accidents Gut
 As for results
 In Detroit, where Judge Charles L. Bartlett presides over municipal court, street accidents have fallen off nearly 60 per cent as compared with year ago.
 In Cleveland, where Judge Ava R. Corlett is jailing even the first offend CTS under a new city traffic Nlaw, street accidents dropped 20 per cent the first week and Police Lieut.. Mar tin Blecke, in charge of traffic, pre- diets 50 per cent reduction as soon as the terrors of the new law have a chance to pereolate thoroughly among the ranks of the bandit drivers"
 One of our motorcycle, men, who usually has 40 arrests a week." said Judge Corlett, caught only two speeders going more than 27 miles an hour last week"
 Women in Cleveland get work house terms the same as men.
 Tt makes no difference to the vic tim of an autoist whether the car is driven by man or woman," said Judge Corlett in sentencing Mrs. Eli zabeth Cheney. society woman, to two days in the workhouse for driv- ing her electric automobile past a street car as four passengers got off.

JOSEPH PENNELL, FAMOUS AMERICAN WAGLNG WAR ON BlLLBOARDS
BY JOSEPH PENNELL, World-Famous American Artist, H. illustrator and Author

NEW YORK, Apr. S.-Billboards are a national blot Every billboard in the United States ought to be abolished.
Bisbee daily review., 1922-04-09

Money and social prestige carry no Ninfluenee in the Detroit court either It was Judge Bartlett who sent John Duval Dodge to the workhouse for five days, where he washed dishes and shoveled coal. Dodge says he's cured.
 'Pm going to settle down now and go into business" declared Dodge, who inherited $1,60O,00O First he is going to build his wife home in Crosse Point, fashionable Detroit sub urb.
 Figures Prove 1t
 Actual figures in Detroit show 1S5 street accidents for March, 1922, as against 345 for March, 1921. In Cleve land accidents dropped to 80 the first week as against 100 for the cores bonding week a year ago.
 It was feared that jail terms would result in so many demands for jury trials that the courts would be clog ged. But experience shows that au- toists don't ask for juries. They take their medicine. And the medicine cures.

Buick Announces
 Delivery Models

Applying Buick servfceability to commercial needs the Buick Motor Company has designed and built what will be known as the Buick spe. cial delivery car. This special deliv- cry body is built on the 1922 Buick four chassis and drawn by the Buick four valve-in-head motor
 Three different types of bodies are made in this job: the canopy top de- livery, the light express body with vestibule and the enclosed panel and vestibule body. An allotment of these cars will soon be available for Arizona and the local buick agency looks forward to their arrival with much favor.
