LoRAJN NEEDS OUR HELP

Survivors of the tragic deSolaUng Wlnd StoIlh
which snuffed out hundred livesIn sweep over
week ago in Iorain Sandusky and Cedar Point Ono,
are bravev facing the future amidst the wreckage OF
their homes and the scenes of the death OF their fa

DESPITE efforts being made to bring supplies ana
aid 10 tie disaster-ridden towns and suffering
and privation are the lot of the people there.
There is about the telegram received yesterday oy
Mayor Lavayea from the mayor of Loraln, an appeal
whose power cannot be unrecognzed. The simple state
ment of the plight of the residents of Loran and sur
rounding areas is in itself appeal, which 1t lkely

1t is unnecessary to review such details OF the dlS
aster as the flinging of little girl from budng
as it fell by the force of the wind and the cafrhs
of that little body already eless, into the oraheheS
Of tree where rescuers later found it hanging mute
testimony of the terrors of the storm. a.,
Nor is it necessary to tell of the horrors OF the
falling theater building in which nearly oUo peopie
were trapped. AS the walls crashed IN and the ROOF
was torn off, it is easy to imagine the shrek the CRIES
of injured and means of those caught oeneath the
wreckage All these incidents in the catastrophe are
too easily pictured to require any enlargement.
So that the appeal to residents here TO do What

dcate something of the sympathy which Imperial Val

The trustees of the city are to take some actlon

contributions be sent to the Red Cross at Lofa ana

RADLOCASTING

1t will be blow to radio fans to learn that the
manufacturers Of radio supplies have Officially
abandoned "broadcasting-" The proper term, they
insist is "radocastng," which they intend to use here
after
They were led to make this verbal change by the
report of a committee which, searching dictionary
found "broadcasting' defined having to do with
the sowing of seed of material substance Radio
waves they say, are not material substance, and so
the term doesn't fit.
Well, .'radocastng" is probably good enough
word when YOU get used to it, provided they don't start
saving ''radocasted." But it seems pity. Broad
casting" is shorter and handler and has been ami
liar word for several hundred years and really means
something to everybody. There is in it the picturesque
figure of the farmer sowing grain 1t adds to the under
standing of radio itself to picture the sender reach
ing his hand into the entertainment bag and scattering
seeds of music, oratory, ETC., to the four winds
Also, these dictionary -probers may be altogether
wrong in their understanding of radio. Scientists
mostly regard the ether of space material thing,
and electric currents themselves material-made
of up eecrons If that is So then the radio vibrations
are as material water waves, and therefore radio
"has to do with the sowing of material substance
much the farmers sowing.

ing and other kinds of recklessness
and most of them on broad, smooth
straight-aways. 1t showed that 95 out
of every 100 drivers are careful-that
the other % per cent make the high.
ways hazardous.
Commissioner Babcock points out
to city and town street officials that
four small markers in the middle OF
streets on curb lines will expedite traf.
fic at intersections, whereas the com.
mon silent policeman or center
marker tends to slow it up.
Four small markers will keep traffic
to the right and expedite its move
ment, better than the center post
causing awkward turning and conges.
ton and often damaging tenders.
Here is Commissioner Babcock's
outline for drivers determination
Use common sense?
Practice the Golden Rule?
always regard rights of others?
Keep your car under full control7
Drive only with brakes in good
order?
Drive when drivine-one thing at
a time?
Stop, cautiously, when your vision
becomes clouded?
Take special precautions when In
danger of skidding?
Signal your plans to other drivers
as plainly as you can?
Avoid sudden stops and turns and
other quick movements of your car?
Figure you may meet a fool any
time, but always guard against the
other fellow doing 1t?
Slow up at congested places, cross
roads, turns, schools and other places
of extra hazard?
Carefully avoid crowdine and swing
gradually back into traffic line after
passing car going in same direction7
Keep always to the right and par
ticuIarIy when approaching Interests
and turns-for your own safety and
others?
Shift into second or low, STOP,
look and listen at every railroad
can't dodge and odds are against
you?
Keep In mind that the center of
fic and that slow moving vehicles
and those about to stop or turn
should keep to the extreme right?
Stop for tire changes, adjustments
and so forth, only on broad sections
and off the Travelled roadbed-neither
overtaking and passing car or
stopping on pavement, on bridge or
at turn?
The car driver who can honestly an.
swer yes" to all questions, Mr.. Bah.
cock asserts, is a sane, courteous
driver and gentleman
The Minnesota highway executive
also prepared diagrams illustrating the
principle of traffic regulation giving
the vehicle to the right the right-of.
way under ordinary conditions-a rule
quite generally recognized.

New York President Coolidge
dedicated himself to the task of re-
storing to America it's lost or forgot
ten ideals. He made the keynote of
his coming campaign for the presi-

administration is to be built if he is
reelected the law of service" both
domestically and internationally.
The president addressing several
hundred newspaper editors attending
the luncheon here of the Associated
Press, epitomized his platform in
these words:
One of the pre-eminent requirements
of our country at the present time is
to establish and emphasize in the
public mind this law of service. The
danger of America is not in the direc-
ton of the failure to maintain it's eco
nomic position, ,but in the direction
of the failure to maintain it's ideals.
