Let us forget-if we can-the emp

who paid the two dollars runs down
and kills n child or an older person.
The average life-according to n
conservative estimate is worth
$1,000 from the cold economic view
point. worth that much as produce
ing member of society or as a pros
pective producer and taxpayer. One
death by a careless driver wipes out
the license fees paid by $500 other
Grivers-and this does not include
the cost of accounting and record
keeping which would increase the de-
felt. Neither does it include the loss
in property removed from the tax
lists through destruction. Nor does
it include the cost to the state of
maintenance in Jail for those who
may reach that point through SEN
tence from n court.
We need an examination - a
searching thoughtful examination
of all applicants for a license to drive
motor vehicle on our highways.
The question of sobriety should be
one of the foremost considerations.
The mental makeup of the applicant
should also be carefully considered.
And some one in authority should
know how much the applicant knows
about the operation of the car he
proposes to drive.
Those who handle the throttle on
railroad trains. street cars and pas
senger carrying boats are not pro-
NOTED overnight from infancy to the
post of engineer. They are trained
for the job. Those to whom they are
responsible and who. in turn. are re-
sponsible to the public. see to It that
they are trained. Not every man who
aSpires to become railroad engineer
can become one. Regardless of other
considerations his physical or mental
makeup may bar him.
Why should We have less consid-
Grafton for those who travel our
roads? The number is greater than
those who travel by train and the
danger from a careless, a thought
less or a liquor shaken hand at the
wheel is infinitely greater.
Aside from other and more i'm
portant considerations. society loses
money and will continue to lose until
more restrictions are thrown about
the granting Of licenses to drivers OF
automobiles.

Elaborate Plan
By Lutherans For
Their Young Folks

Chicago, Oct. 27-Tlie Lutheran
Church in America is undertaking an
elaborate campaign of religious edu-
cation of its young people In order to
counteract the distracting influence
eaerted upon the boys and girls by
modern amusements.
Leaders of the church have noted
in the last decade a tendency toward
n decline in the power of the church
to attract young people and have
felt the lure Of the movie and similar
amusements in coax.ng away the
boys, and girls who should become
future church leaders.
The educational program Is being
organized by the Lutheran Parish
and Church School Board. II calls
for the establishment Of church,
schools, Bible study and weekday
schools for religious education. En-
phasis is made upon these week day
schools as q most important step In

Wonderful Drama for All in the
Perfect FIapper-FinaI Showings
Today at the Colonial

Ioudy at the SoIonIat
The perfect flapper has captured
Augusta.
Last night the Colonial Theatre
was the scene of another victory for
the modern fiapper, of which we hear
SO much these days. The cause is
Colleen Moore and the weapon she
uses is 1.-THE Perfect Flapper," First
National picture. 1t was also di-
rected by John Francis Dillon-com-
binations that made FLAMING Youth
the sensation of the past season.
Colleen proves conclusively that
she is the rightful holder of the
crown. She has been given a cast
and production that will go down as
one nearing perfection. TO say that
THE Perfect Flapper" has "every-
thing" is to say only a part Of it.
The picture is full of comedy and
pathos. stunning gowns and daring.
scenes, flawless direction and beauti-
full photography, and above all-it
has the one and only Colleen, who Is
herself the very embodiment of up
to-date American girlhood.
Sydney Chaplain in an important
role . es the picture it's greatest
comedy moments. He is acclaimed
and rightly, one of screendom's
greatest comedians, and if his work
in 1.-THE Perfect F'lapper' does not
land him on the very top rung of the
ladedr of comedy we miss our guess.
The scenes representing Colleen as
Juliet and Chaplain as Romeo are
especially clover and well-handled
They are shown in the celebrated
balcony scene which, to our mind
becomes one of the most laugh
provoking scenes ever filmed
Frank Mayo Is handsome as ever
and does some very creditable work.
Lydia Knott as Aunt Sarah is in
strange contrast to the dynamic Col
leen. while her father, played by
Charles Wellesley, is a splendid old
fellow, who understands and loves
his bewildered little girl.
Capacity audiences will no doubt
witness farewell performances of
THE Flapper" today at the Colonial.

CLASS b LICENSES
AROUSE CRITICISM

Recent criticism, especially since
the hearings OF the White radio bill,
of the granting Of ,class d licenses
by the Secretary Of. Commerce, has
been severe.
The explanation has been made by
officials of the department that
there Is nothing unusual in the
granting Of these licenses. They
say the licenses are granted for
short periods Of time and will be
given Anyone meeting the. require
ments. Up to this time licenses
under this class have only been
granted TO stations KDKA, WGY
and WEAF, controlled by large
manufacturing interests, members
OF the Radio Corporation OF Amer
lea.
The requirements. however, are
such as to make ID licenses unavail.
able except to large radio interests.
