WHY JAIL DRUNKEN DRIVERS

The Automobile Legal Association
Is offering three prizes in cash, s17e
in all, for 3he three best statements
ION why drunken drivers must be
given Jail sentences"
It would seem needless to expend
money in search Of best reason
when there are so many, which are
sufficient, separately or collectively.
1t ought to suffice to recognize the
ratent fact that when drunken
person takes the wheel of a high
powered vehicle and drives upon the
public highway he imperiIs the
lives of others and so merits the
punishment afforded by Jail sem
tence.
Undoubtedly a lot of harm results
from the driving of motorists under
tho influence Of liquor, who escape
conviction on that ground. 1t was
a matter Of record In Massachusetts
last year that every fifteenth person
among those killed by automobiles
was known to have been killed by a
drunken driver. How many more no
one knows.
In 1924, with "a times as many
cars as in 1908 there were 62S times
as many who lost their licenses for
driving while under the influence of
liquor. Nor is this showing really
any more satisfactory If it appears
that taking away licenses was not a
custom so we'll observed in 1908.
THIS comparison may not be fair in
all respects but it does serve to
warn us that drunken driving among
motorists is on the increase. when it
ought to be on the decrease. And it
is the State who grants these
licenses and has the power to take
away. 1t must bear the RESPONSE
bility.

The diplomatic bread. so to speak,
is on the waters in the matter of
England's potato embargo. 1t may
come back next year-and again it
may not. Anyhow, one Of the last
acts of the retiring secretary of
state, Mr.. Hughes, was to inform
Senator Hale that England had de-
clined to withdraw the embargo on
American potatoes. One result OF
the agitation is the embargo later
placed on Canadian potatoes, with
out which the attitude of the British
government had no warrant, as it
clearly was demonstrated that bugs
accompany Canadian tubers as will
ingly-being of poor discrimination
as they do the American spud.
Meanwhile Canada as well as Amer
lea will seek to convince England
that she need not be alarmed about
getting potato bugs.

NORRIDCE:WOCK
Bad Fire Averted

What might have been Il serious
fire was narrowly aycrted on We'd
ncSday night about ll:45 by its early
discovery and the timely arrival of
two men who cXtinguiShed the blaze.
Mrs. Nathan Avery who occupies Il
rent over the Norridgewock Motor
Company'S garage locked from her
window and discovered small blaze
in the rear part of the +. a. Hilton
company'S furniture store. Quickly
summoning Mr.. Avery. he ran to the
scene of the fire where he was Joined
by Charles Carpenter who with Mrs.
Carpenter was returning to their
home after an evening passed with
friends. Mr.. Avery and Mr.. Carpen-
ter forced an entrance by a rear
door. and with the aid of snow soon
hal the fire eXtinguished. An alarm
was sounded on the new fire
whistle which had been installed
that very afternoon. but the as
siStance of the fire company was
not needed when they arrived
How the fire started is somewhat of
a mystery. but it is thought that it
may have started from spontaneous
combustion. \ can of paint had
been spilled on the floor of the room
during the day. and it had been WHIP
ed UP with papers and cloths which
were deposited in a pail and left.
This was where the fire started and
had it not been discovered and ey-
tinguiShed very promptly the fire
company would have had hard
fight. The r. a. Hilton COM
pany occupy a two story wooden
building at the corner of Main and
Mechanic streets. Joining them on
Main street is the Office of the n. f.
Tel Co, while on Mechanic street is
the 1iuntoon grocery. AS these are
all wooden buildings, it is very for
tunate that a fire did not get a start.
