BILLS TO COMPEL CAR
INSURANCE Defeated
Liability Policies Would Have
Added $3.50 Year to Cost, It
Is Estimated.

Automobile owners were grayely
concerned for many weeks early In
the sessions of 1923 by the efforts in
twenty-one states to pass legislation
making IL compulsory for all automo-
bile owners to have liability insur-
ance. The National Automobile Deal
ers'- Association was approached from
many states with a wall of distress
by the automobile clubs. in most all
of the complaints received was the
assertion that automobile insurance
agents were behind the movement.
The n. A. ID. A. never was able to
substantiate those charges. which
were broadly made by various auto
mobile groups.
Investigation in some states gave
reason to believe that this form of
legislation would have laid a heavy
burden of insurance cost on the own
ers. 1t was believed for time that

WOMEN ARE DOING SOME
GOOD TELEPHONE SERVICE

Say, peoplel Just word, Does
1T occur to you at time like this,
when there is SO much sickness and
distress, and doctors so busy that
they scarcely know which direction
to start out to do the most good,
how much the public is benefited by
a few faithful women who, by the
use of the telephone, keep those
who are needing help informed as to
the whereabouts of the doctor and
track him up in emergency cases?
To be personal, did you ever stop
to think what Mary McLucas, Alta
Knight, and Ella Thorla and others
are doing along this line? The time
that these kind-hearted women are
giving, just for you? OF course one
Of these, the last named, is getting
something for her services, but does
anybody think she is paid?

What Causes Suffering?

Records show that fully four per
cent of all the boys and girls born
in this country are lefthanded from
birth. An English scientist be-
lieves that the ratio is much higher
in his country and around 10 per
cent. The doctors are able to ex-
plain the physical condition of
nerves which makes it natural for a
child to use it's left hand in prefer
ence to the other, but as to the
cause Of this condition they can only
say. Nature willed it so.
However a most curious result
has been discovered where attempts
are made to force left-handed
child to use it's right hand instead
Not in all cases, to be sure, but as
far as the investigation has gone. a
surprisingly large number of cases
have been found, where parents or
teachers used severe measurers to
force the use of the right hand, in
which the child became a sufferer or
had an impediment of speech. These
varied in degree from few years
to life, and from acute suffering to
an impeachment quite slight and
hardly noticeable in ordinary con-
versation, but greatly aggravated
under excitement.
1t has been interesting to me,
when coming in contact with people
having 'impeded speech, to ask them
if they were originally left-handed,
and forced at home and in school to
use the right hand. So far no one
has been offended at such person
al question, but all have shown
great interest. In the instance of
the most acute case Of suffering /
have ever known, and whom 1 met
daily for several months, the man
could scarcely make himself under
stood and would appear at times al
most to choke in the effort to articu-
late. Today he can shoot and throw

hundreds of thousands, where

DOES GOLF HURT BASEBALL
 PLAYERS, EXPERTS WONDER
Sure Though That IS Holes in the Morning Takes All the Pep
 From Diamond Star.

If golf a good thing for major league ball players?
 The leading golf professionals of the country are undecided about it.
 Some day they don't think cer- tain amount of golf during the sea- son will hurt players batting. They do admit that it is possible for ball player to oyergolf.
 Others are inclined to believe that golfing has tendency to throw q batter off his stride, particularly if he plays very much during the season.
 The swing in golf and baseball is in striking contrast. An entirely differ ent set of muscles is brought into play. So different is the swing that a ball player often finds trouble in developing accuracy as a golfer
 On one thing the professionals are a unit, and that is, that IS holes of golf on a hot summer morning is found to take some of the pep" out of the player for the afternoon ball game.
 All of which makes it seem that golf has some advantages and as many disadvantages relative to the major league star.

Through With Texas.

San Antonio, Tex, March 19.-A roaring, clustering "Norther'' from the far reaches of upper Texas blew all of the baseball out of San An tonic yesterday and practically blew the Giants out of this city of sum- shine for 1924.
 .sAt noon the game with the White Sox was called off.
 The wind roared and whistled, there was a biting coldness in the air and traces of snow. Ice formed in the puddles. It was a day for the liot stove league, not for spring train ing.
 wAlthough it is the first practice game the Giants have had to post pone since coming here, and is only the second day that practice could not be obtained, it was reported last evening that the Giants have de- cided to go to California next spring. The moment this decision was made Harry Grabiner and Kid Gleason, here with the Sox immediately took an option on sthe park here for the 1924 training season from the focal mogul in baseball, Harry Benson.
