G0xern0r Baxter
Addresses Meeting
of Motor Police
Corps at Augusta

The laws pertaining to the regu-
lation of motor traffic in the State
must be enforced so that the great
majority of people who do obey
these laws will be protected from
those who disregard them. This
was the message conveyed to the
State highway inspectors and mo-
torcycie police Wednesday morning
by Governor Baxter, who addressed
the conference of these officers at
the Senate Chamber.
Governor Baxter spoke OF the ad-
vantage OF using kindness and cour-
tesy in the work of enforcing the
laws, but at the same time going
about the work with determination.
He predicted that IL these otnclals
look upon their duties in that light
the force of inspectors and highway
police will become a source OF pride
10 the State the same as the State
constabularies in some other states
are the pride Of those states.
He declared that in his opinion
the members Of the motorcycle po-
lice corps should always be willing
to help motorists who are in trou-
BILE, whether in case of lady mo-
torist who needs help in fixing a
tire or in q case where assistance Is
needed at some confagration along
the route OF an inspector or high
way policeman. They should also be
on the lookout for lawbreakers OF
any sort and should take a pride in
their work. The governor told the
members OF the corps that he would
stand behind them in every right
thing.
The other speaker at the get-to-
gether was Captain Harold A. Miller,
In charge OF the enforcement divi-
sion Of the State Highway Commits
sion, who explained the working of
the division for the benefit of the
new members OF the corps. He told
the officers that they should be gen.

Of Season

Buster Keaton's second feature
length comedy. "Our Hospitality" a
Joseph NJ. Schenck production, re-
leased through Metro. opened last
night at the Opera House.
The story concerns the adventures
of William Mckay, the last of dis
tinguished Kentucky family. which
has been killed off in feud with the
Canfields. Buster. of course, is Will
liam, and his serious face and naive
expression make this Southern Rollo
n character long to DE remembered.
The story takes place in the early
1905, which has given the producers
a wonderful opportunity to use the
humorous aspect Of history.
The sequence showing Busters ride
on the first steam train in America
is refreshing. It's real history, but,
better yet, it's real fun.
Natalie Talmadge, Busters WIFE
who returned to the screen to appear
in this film, is excellent in the role
of the Garfield girl with whom the
last of the McKays" falls in love

Miss Murray, who draws rough
sketches of what she desires and
hands them over to expert dress

One Of the things Miss Murray in
sists upon in her gowns is that they

or contrasting colors with the back

these colors also harmonic with the
mood of the scene. AS Miss Murray
makes all her pictures under the dl-
