A DESPfCABLE COWARD!

The two devastating automobile accidents that oc-
Cured here Monday evening resulting in the death of
victim and injury of five others are of such char
acter that they cannot be dismissed without further
consideration in these columns.
Most of US are towards about something. Most
OF US at some time other have committed acts of
folly stupidity waywardness whose consequences
we dread to face Few of members of the big human
family, though, yellow so lacking in common
frendlness and decency that we bear to infict
bodily injury upon fellow creature and pass by like
the priest and the Levite, leaving him to die.
But the automobile driver who ran down and
killed w. G. Hanley Monday night and drove off TO
avoid his responsibility, without stopping to help an
than he possesses He has go living with
himself. For the rest of his life he will know himself
for murderer Not that the law technically calls him
one In TACT, eye witnesses of the tragedy state that
mad the driver stopped and done what he could for
Mr. Hanley, no jury would have convicted him of
ing the old gentleman if he had tried bystanders say
But what does put this driver in the crmnalcass is his
failure to stand by his responsibility. The public is at
the mercy of such men this.
The motorist on the highway is also at the mercy
OF such men the truck owner, whose failure to
that his machine equipped with proper lighting
caused the injury of Ray Ellis and his family among
them two infants. Somehow accident to child
seems worse than any other sort of accident If these
helpless little cannot be protected life is
driver realizes that it is unwise to try conclusions
with a truck and he takes precautions accordingly.
But against unseen danger, how can he protect
himself?
Imperial county is vastly in need of more effci-
ent an more extensive highway policing. With only
GERS task should be comparatively easy and Imperial
county should be model to neighborng counties in
the enforcement of details of the law that make for
greater public safety.

over your tail. Skip along and
play ball"
So Jollie skipped along and play
cd ball, and Uncle Wiggily kept
ON painting. Pretty soon another
voice behind his asked:
Uncle Wiggily, please couldn t
| help you paint?''
con, my goodness, no, Billie''
laughed Uncle Wiggily. 81 couldn t
let you take my red paint brush,
Nou'd get red paint all over your
horns! Scoot along and play tag!' -
So Billie scooted along and he
played tag and Uncle Wiggily kept
on spreading red paint all over the
front steps, making them look like
a fire engine, bright and cheerful.
Then, after a while, not so very
long, along came the Black Bushy
Bear with his shining black nose.
"Ah, hat" growIed the Black
Bushy Bear TO himself. "This is
my chance to nibblc Uncle Wiggi-
ly's ears! I'll slip up behind him
and ask him TO let me paint. lie II
think IN one of the animal chill
dren and hen hand me the brush.
Then II slap it in his eyes, fill
them with red paint. And when
he can't see ! III nibble his ears!
IIo. Ilo,'
A cruel trick if was, but let US
see what happens. Up shuffled the
Bear very quietly. Then making
believe he was "a cute little boy
he said in soft voice:
'Please, Uncle Wiggily, let me
paint a little'
Uncle Wiggily, thinking it was
Baby Bunty back again, or maybe
Billie Wagtail, didn t turn his head.
But the bunny gentleman said:
Now you run along and play
the piano! / can't let you paint
See, you might get all over red
paint like tllis!"
AId, without turning is head
to look, Uncle Wiggily held out the
brush behind him to show how red
il was, And the Bear was 50 close
to the bunny, ready to nibble his
ears, that Uncle Wiggily slapped
the brush, all covered with red
paint, on the black glistening nose
of the Black Busby Bear. AL over
red paint was the Bear $ nose.

REV. SCHULTZIS
TO COME BACK

Much satisfaction is being ex-
pressed among members Of the
Methodist church of this city over
the reappointment of Rev. A. E.
Schultz for the coming church year.
Rev. Schultz is extremely popular
with his congregation and the
church, under his leadership, has
achieved many worth while results
and increased its membership.
Rev. n. II. Hudson of Heber,
who enjoys the unique distinction
of occupying the Methodist pulpit
and the office of justice of peace in
that town, has also been reappoint-
ed. Hudson is sometimes referred
to as the ''fighting 50 minister" due
to campaign he has waged against
reckless and drunken motorists.

Lookout Men In
Severe Grilling

SAN DIEGO, Cal, October g.
More than Il score of witnesses of
the Point Arguello wreck of seven
destroyer were still to be called,
it was learned as the. official naval
inquiry reconvened here today.
Most of the testimony will be
from enlisted men and from spe-
cial experts called in.
A new development in the trial
has been the grilling through which
the lookout men on the wrecked
ships are being put.
The most important light which
these men have to shed on the
circumstances of the wreck is the
fact that on the fatal night the
fog did not hang over the sea but
it did rest on the cliffs along the
shore.
The lockouts reported to the
board that they. did not see any
lights, nor did they see the rocks
which claimed the vessels and the
lives of 23 seamen. The danger
| was not realized by the men on
watch until it was too late to give
: the alarm, they testified.

the spirit.
The most characteristic evidence, perhaps, is

is standing joke in Rome that departing trains often
leave ahead of time, in their zeal to meet beat
