FLAW WAS PLAIN TO TIL E
PRACTICAL MAN

A motion picture theatre in Ne
braska town was showing railroad
road picture recently, and in one part
Of the picture long freight train
was seen to stop directly on the cross
ing of busy street. A brakeman ran
up and raised the lever of the coup
ling apparatus and signaled the engi-
neer to go ahead and thus "cut" the
crossing. A practical railroad man
somewhere in the audience became ex-
cited and forgetting where he was OF
that it was just picture. cried out:
"Hey there, you fool, cut out the ART"
The audience roared with laughter,
but just the same, an error in high
priced picture was detected by COM
mon man who knew the game.

SAFEGUARDING THE HIGHWAY
TRAFFIC

Several states are arranging to en-
ploy new system of road signs, re-
moving them from telegraph poles
and fixing them at the shoulder of
the road. The markers are to be
signals as well and will be of various
shapes-round, square. diamond, OBJ
ling and triangler. Each shape has a
meaning, thus dangerous curves, rail-
road crossings or other warnings are
given the motorist in addition to the
information printed on the markers.
One thing more should be done for
the protection of decent motorists
a drunken driver should be sent to
prison for term of years and the
speed maniac should not be permitted
to drive car on public highways un-
der any consideration. Numerous as
automobiles have become in these
times, the highways are just plain
lanes of death unless every motorist
is safe, sane and = master Of his car.

TAXING MOTOR CARS ACCORD.
ING TO WEIGHT

The joint highway committee has
presented bill to the Wisconsin leg
islature proposing to raise $1,000 900
from automobile licenses. the same to
be based upon weight Of the machines,
and as follows:
A car weighing 1900 pounds or un-
der. $40; 1000 to 1900, $11.5o; 1900 to
200, $500; 1000 to 24OO, $17.00;
240o to $500, 5000; 2s00 to $500,
$500; $500 to 5000, $S4.O0; 5000 to
1000, $500: 1000 to 400, $500.
This is indeed . novel method OF
fiHinG license fees, and sounds more
practical than the method of fixing
the license according to the price paid
for the car. However, at that rate
there is no much difference in the H.
cense for owning a heavy car and
that charged for operating a rum-shop
in the pre-Volstead days.
It is the purpose Of the automobile
tax to build and maintain highways
The heavier cars deteriorate the high

A LUCKY DRAW AFTER ALL

A backwards Justice of the peace
used to consult what lokoed like a law
book. but was really mail order cata-
log. One day negro was hailed be-
lore the squire on charge Of drunk
enness. After hearing the evidence
the squire opened the book. glanced
at it and fined the Negro $40 to be
worked out on the roads at 25 cents
day. AS the Negro was being lead
away he said to the marshal, 'I sho
is unlucky Nigger."
"Unlucky nothing" replied the
marshal. "If the squire had happen
ed to open that book at automobiles
instead of pants you'd be working on
the road for the rest of your life"

IN CASE YOU NEED A MORAL

Two frogs fell into bucket of cream
And must paddle to keep afloat,
But one soon tired and sank to rest,
With a gurgling sigh in his throat
The other padded away all night,
And not croak did he utter,
And with the coming of morning light
He road on an island Of butter.
The flies came thick to his island
home.
And made him a breakfast snappy
The milkmaid shrieked and upset the
pail,
And froggie hoped away happy.
We can all find moral in this rhyme,
And should hasten at once to apply;
Success will come in the most diff
cult time
l. we paddle and never say die.
