HIGHWAYS OPEN
TO PEDESTRIANS

The recent case settled in circuit
court at Baraboo caused some dis
cussion as to the rights Of pedes-
trian on the road and on this point
Brownie in the Milwaukee Journal
says:
A S4cram ento, Calf, court has
held that pedestrians have a legal right
to walk on the public highways, and
that they are not at the mercy of
vehicular traffic when so doing. The
important point, decided in favor of
not be held guilty of negligence solely
on account of the fact that they were
walking upon the highway. The de-
cision rested on an old rule Of com
mon law that required vehicular traf-
fic to watch out for pedestrians. The
common law rule has been extensively
modified by state legislative enact
ment and by municipal ordinances,
but the big fact is this: The pedes-
trian who adopts the path of motor
trucks and othed vehicles as his side
walk, and who suffers injury or
worse can never be fully recompensed
by ever so clear proof that he was
within his legal rights. In case of
the average accident, he cannot even
get money damages, because innum-
cradle motor drivers are without the
money or property that can be levied
upon in case of judgement. Better
than to bravely assert the prior legal
rights of the pedestrian is to remain
discreetly out of the path of danger
and thus remain bodily whole.

FASHION DEGREES
SHORTER SLEEVES
AND HIGHER NECkS

Recent development in sports
blouses reveal greater proportion
Of short-sleeved models, and an in
clination to higher finish at the
neck, either by means of the club
collar or ihe boyish collar that is
joined to a buttoncd neekband as
on boys blouse. The higher neck
line no doubt is designed with the
suit in view, as thes.lark collar of
the Jacket against the neck is both
unbccoming and undesirable.
The club collar is high, but Of
fers from the Peter Pan in that the
neck line is not round but slightly
pointed in front The collar itself
is cut with points and is moderate
in width. The collarless blouses al
so has very fair representation.
We may look for the use of iabots
more and more. When they make
an appearance on coats and dresses
it is foregone conclusion that
bIouses will get the lions share of
them. The tailored jabots are plain
though pleated, but other styles
may have an edging of Irish lace.
,, However, sports blouses are far
from following strict procedure i'll
design and tailoring as are sports
suits.

NEW, YORK, April 26,--Death of
Charles +. Murphy, presiding elder
of Tammany Hall. leaves tcmporar-
ily. vacant one of the most powerful
political positions in the country.
How that vacancy is filled Will
have not only a tremendous effect
upon the domain of New York City
and state, but it will cast its spell
over the Democratic national con
vention, where next june candi-
date will be selected to make the
presidential race against Calvin
Coolidge.
"Tammany Boss implies jobs
for thousands, state city and county
offices, and riches. Richard Crok-
er, who preceded Murphy as chief
of the Tammany wigwam, died
worth millions, Murphy's estate,
including his magnificent Long Is
land home, testifies further to re,
wards which befall those that lead
in the operations of the great Tam
many machine. .....-
Two men immediately suggest
themselves rs possible successors of
Murphy. First of these is governor
Al Smith, how-ory up to nova
candidate for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination.
The other man mentioned as a
likely candidate for the wigwam
throne is United States Senator
Cop'and. Smith, howevet, more
