Points Out Their Service
in Community
By ERNEST N. SMITH,
General Manager. American Automobile
Association.

Members Of automobile clubs
throughout the country are begin.
ming to have a broader viewpoint,
almost a new conception Of their
goals.
In this connection one is reminded
Of the typical golf club, and par
ticularly Of certain party from
the back woods who happened to
be visiting one of the larger coun-
try clubs.

visitor, there are lot of people
dining and sitting about. Some of
them are talking business. One Of
them is telling of the plans on foot
for building a new road up to the
clubhouse. thought everybody In

A lot OF people are like this

automobile club. II thought you
people were here for the selfish
purpose of solving your own au-
tomobile problems.
Enters New Fields.
Our modern automobile clubs are
stepping out into new fields. They
are becoming important influences
In their. communities, and the facts
do not justify any such narrow
viewpoint as was displayed by the
visitor to the golf club. Any good
civic cause has the wIolehearted
support of the automobile club. AS
matter of fact the clubs support
Is likely to be rather necessary,
since the ablest citizens Of the city
are numbered among the motor
clubs membership.
A motor club, in looking out for
the interests of its own members,
cannot help but serve a great mum.

port 1t. No club can offer a higher
type of service.
The local motor club becomes an
aid to the police department, effect.
ing the simplification of laws and
ordinances, and assisting In safety
work.
Safety Taught Children.
1t has already been pointed out
that safety is being taught school
cslIofen through the instruction
given them by parents who are, in
turn, active in motor club work.
No civic organization Is more
interested in the cleanliness of the
city streets, the Identification of
the parks and the enactment Of
progressive legislation than the
local automobile club.
The automobile club is primarily
a civic institution True, it serves
members individually, but that is Dy
no means its chief function. To saw

around automobiles ID to overlook
the broad influence OF the automo.
bile itself. The modern motor car
Is changing customs, making his
tory and encouraging civic develop
ment. The motor club aims to co.
ordinate its varied influences.
Your automobile club is important
to you because it Is important to
the community. It can be more
valuable to You only as you help to

The French automobile indus
try is doing very well, according
to its traditional method Of opera
ton. The well-known companies
are selling their customary quota
without difficulty and are max
ing some money.
Strange to say Fords do not
sell well in Germany. The favorite
American cars are Chevrolet, Stude-
baker and Buick.

 Cincinnati, Ohio, March 21, 1924 ''To Organized Labor:
 There are now pending in the House of Representatives of the United States about one hundred bills seeking the modification of the Vol stead enforcement law, and Senate Bill 1924 pending in the United States Senate. These bills have for their pur- pose the change of the alcoholic con- tent of beverages from the present less than one-half of one per cent. to 2.75 per cent, which Is -intoxicat- ing in fact.
 The American Federation of Labor in conventions assembled, has in the interest of true temperance repeatedly declared itself i'll unmistakab1e terms in favor of modification of the Vol stead enforcement law, and directed the executive council to do everything within its power to bring about such modification.
 We urgently request that you ap officers of the labor movement prevail upon your individual members to write to your two United States senators urging them to work and vote for the early passage of Senate Bill 1924, and to write to your Congresmen to work and vote for the early passage of a 2.75 per cent beverage bill.

STATE CLOSES CASE
AGAINST JUDGE WALSH
Northern Judge by Fifteen Year
Old Girl-Eis Ward.

Crandon, Wis. - The state closed
its case in the trial of James Walsh,
country judge, on trial in circuit court
here on serious charges preferred by
his Is year old ward, at noon today.
Doctors G.. o. Deckers, Crandon, and
E. F. Fox, Green Bay, the last wit
nesses to be called by the prosecution
testified that the statements made
yesterday by the girl in regard to her
condition were true.
Before the doctors were called, how
ever, Walsh's ward was placed on the
stand for further questioning by the
defense counsel.
The examination came to an abrupt
halt when Judge James Wickham or
dered the mother of the girl from the
courtroom when he saw that she was
endeavoring to influence the testi-
mony of her daughter.
When the cross examination was
again taken up, the attempt to shatter
the girls testimony proved failure.
The defense began to present their
witnesses at 2 o'clock, and William
Decork and Judge A. Parkin of Anti
go, were called to the stand, but moth
ing effecting the trial was brought out
in their testimony.
Judge Walsh will take the stand
late this afternoon.
