NEW TYPE OF PLATES FOR
DOCTORS
Prescription r To Be Used Instead of
The Red Cross

Doctors of medicine and surgery
! who drive automobiles or use them
In their practice with a driver will
hereafter be obliged to carry in plain
view new type of plate that will in
dicate their calling and thereby pre-
vent the possibility of being stopped
by traffic police if they happen to be
| travelling rapidly in order to reach a
J patient in a hurry. Heretofore all
that was necessary was to display a
red cross on windshield or some other
conspicuous part of the car and it was
taken for granted that the vehicle be-
longed to a physician or surgeon
Recently, on information obtained
and through observations conducted
by his inspectors, Motor Vehicle Com
missioner William L. Dill became con-
vinced that many persons were dis
playing red cross signs on their cars
who were not entitled to do so, their
sole idea being that they could and
would speed whenever and wherever
they cared to and would be immune
from arrest or other molestation by
traffic policeman or motor vehicle in
spectors. This condition was not only
unfair to legitimate physicians and
surgeons who speed only when abso-
lutte necessity requires them to. but
it set up another road menace that
brought about increased danger CON
ditionS.
1t was found that many persons en-
titled for one reason or another to
affiX or prefix "Dr" to their names
but who are not physicians or sur
geons, were taking advantages of the
recognized Red Cross sign and speed
ing accordingly and defying traffic
officials when halted. Commissioner
Dill therefore decided upon abolish
ment of the Red Cross courtesy so far
as New Jersey is concerned, and is
suing new designation. This he has
done in the form of a small, neat
metal plate, the design upon which is
prescription r. No one can obtain
such a plate unless he or she first
registers with the Motor Vehicle De-
partment. and then if only he or she
is physician or surgeon in regular
practice of medicine or surgery, or
both.
'I am in hopes that the new desig
nation and the plate the Department
is now issuing under necessary re-
stiictions will correct a rather wide
spread and serious abuse of privilege
that seemed to grow continually" ]"
said Commissioner Dill. "The new
rule will be strictly enforced. | am
certain that physicians and surgeons
generally will approve of the change
and will aid the Department in any
and all ways to see that it is not vio-
lated. It is just another one of the
safety measures for pedestrians and
users of the road and city streets that
we are constantly at work on"

IN SAD MEMORY
of my dear son,
William c. Eckert.
who died October II, 1918.

Five, sad years have passed, o, William,
dear
My love is just the same.
1t is so. lonesome here without you,
And sad the weary way,
For life is not the same to me
Since you were called away.
| never shall forget that day
When you left me all alone.
There's been a vacant chair at home
For those five long weary years
Which no one can ever fill.
Sadly missed by Mother. lO-19-1t"

BLOOMINGTON MAN DIES
IN ELEVATOR ACCIDENT

Cecil Garner, 81, was Instantly kill
ed about $40 a. m. Tuesday when he
was struck by a freight elevator al
the A. Y. Mcdonald company plant
The descending elevator struck Gar
ner's head, crushing it badly.
The victim of the accident had been
employed at the Mcdonald plant for
the past two weeks. He came to Du-
buque a few weeks ago from Bloom
ingtOn, Wis, where he had lived praC-
tically all his life.
cording to information secured by
County Coroner Edwin F. Strueber
Garner had stuck his head through an
opening in the elevator gate to see
whether or not the elevator was NOV
ing. Just as he put his head through
the opening which is about two feet
square, the elevator, which was de-
scending, struck him.
Whether or not Garner saw the ele-
vator and tried to escape is not known.
1t was believed, however, that he was
struck before he had time to turn mis-
face upwards. The heavy elevator
struck with great force.
Garner leaves to mourn his tragic
death his wife and two children who
next week, were to come to Dubuque
to make their home. His father, liv-
ing in Bloomington, also survives.
The remains were taken by automo-
bile hearse 10 Bloomington Tuesday

thrust a spear into his neck, severin2

precarious condition from loss OF

but is now recovering.
Lovers of flowers will find the walk
we'll worth while to view a massive

first ward. Mr.. and Mrs Book take
great pleasure in flower culture and
have as pretty yard as will be found

asters and daily one could see the
Books either watering the growing
plants or diligently cultivating the soil
around them. 1t is really wonderful
sight.

horse came here by express with about

man to whom it was consigned refIs-

has cared for the same ever since.
Now he returns to the original shipper
who will be obliged to foot the bill for
