BUSINESS MONDAY. F0R TRAFFIC LAW
Full Enforcement From Now 0n-Boys To Help Near
 Schools

Ten boys soon will be picked from each school in Birmingham and com missioned as special traffic officers to assist in enforcing traffic laws at and around the public schools, Police Captain W. w. Brent announced Sat urday in connection with warning to motorists that the new ordinance will be rigidly enforced, beginning at o'clock Monday morning.
 The Juvenile officers will be se- lected from the higher grammar grades and will be on duty before and cess. One of their duties will be to assist small children across the streets near the school buildings. Also they will keep an eye on all passing cars and will report speeders and other violators of the city ordinance.
 This plan is not new, having been worked out successfully in several of the larger cities, Captain Brent said. The youthful "cops' will wear arm bands to show their authority.
 Captain Brent's traffic squad. after days of careful study of the new or dinance, is ready to take the streets Monday morning and clamp down on traffic violators. Every section of the ordinance will be enforced to the letter, and those wfo fail to fofs5w the rules will be handed summons to visit the recorders court.
 O O O
 Time To Act.
 The new regulations said Cap tain Brent, have been widely pub lished and discussed and the public has had two weeks to become fa- miliar with them. From the way mo. torists have co-operate6 thus Tar, the department is not expecting any trouble in obtaining a 100 per cent observance of the ordinance
 W. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety, made the prediction on the eve of rigid enforcement that there would be practically no arrests neces- sary.
 Birmingham caught the idea 10 days ago." he said, and nearly every body has been complying with the or- dinance for the past week. l look for easy sailing"
 The commissioner sad he would decide Monday whether to oVerrun his budget and employ 10 additional traf- fife officers, beginning immediately. He was inclined to go ahead and in- creaes the traffic squad. even if funds ares carce, he said
 We need 10 more traffic men bad ly, and I believe the entire con.mis- sion will back me up in mourning the additional eXpense,' he said.
 Commissioner Cloe called particular attention to the traffic map which appears elsewhere in this edition of The Age Herald and declared auto mobilists would find it of great value.

ELECTION TUESDAY.

Tuesday, November 9th is the
date for the election of highway
commissioners for the Keuter-
vile, Greencreek and Cotton
wood districts. Judging from
present indications there will be
no contest over the office in the
Cottonwood district and we pre-
dict that all three of the present
commissioners will be reelected.
In Greencreek we understand
the condition is about the same
as Cottonwood and apparently
everyone appears to be satisfied
with the commissioners in that
district.
Keuterville, so we are inform
ed, will have a hot contest and
from the present hand writing
on the wall, so our informant
tells us, two tickets will be in
the field for the voters to choose
from.
Voters should exercise their
franchise and cast their votes
at the election regardless OF
whether there is a contest or not
1t at least gives the commissions
ers vote of confidence, if moth
ing else.

when the men threw up embank-
ment and dug themselves in for
an apparent siege. Surrounding
the barricade, word for help was
sent out and reinforcements be-
gan arriving from towns within

EIGHT WERE GIVEN
CITIZENSHIP PAPERS.
Grabski Denied Papers on The
Grounds That He Was An
Alien During World War.

Judge w. F. McNaughton
granted citizenship papers to
eight and four applications were
denied during the recent term of
the district court at Grangeville.
Fired Pugsley, U. S. Naturaliza-
tion examiner, examined the ap-
plicants.
Citizenship papers were grant
ed to Sophia Thecla Sommer,
Magdalena Mechtilde Marchy,
Mary Eugeuia Schallbarger ana
Martha Seraphina Vogler, all
sisters at st. Gertrude's convent
and natives of Switzerland. Final
papers also were granted to
Alois Simbeck, John M. Dauber
and Johann Schmidt, all natives
of Germany, and to- Theresa
Marie Schmidt, native of the
u. S. and wife of Johann
Schmidt. Under a recently enact
ed federal statute, it was neces-
sary for Mrs. Schmidt to become
naturalized, in order that she
might be an American citizen,
because her husband was an
alien, even though she is of
American birth.
Petitions were denied without
prejudice to Mary Benedicta Frei
and Mary Julian Kuenim, Cath
olic sisters, owing to disqualifi-
cation of their witnesses, and to
Mary Aloysia Stauble, also a
sister, owing to the fact that
she had not resided in Idaho one
year.
Citizenship was denied with
prejudice to Emil A. Grabski, of
Grangeville, a native of Germany
on the ground that he claimed
exemption from the u. S. army
during the war because he was
an alien, and the claim was
made after he had declared his
intention to become a u. S.
citizen.
Where citizenship is denied
with prejudice it is impossible
to ever become an American
citizen.
Where citizenship is denied
without prejudice the applicant
may again try for citizenship
In cases of this kind citizenship
is denied in most instances ow-
ing to technicality of the law
that has not been fulfilled.
