the Fortnightly Literary club on
] Friday night at the Warren. The
POSTMASTER, superintendent A. C.
Kingsford was in a happy mood
and what tales he did unfold.
Lucky was the individual who did
not receive personal attention from
the master of ceremonies.
All the topics hinged on the high
way and the automobile. The pres
ident of the club, H. E. Cole, first
discussed the open road-how one
must keep going if advancement
is to be made, how questions may
be discussed in an open club like
the Fortnightly.
The Automobile
Mr.. Kingsford declared the auto
mobile was like colossus, it
strides the modern world. 1t div
ides people into two classes, the
quick and the dead. Laughter.)
The automobile is the greatest
menace yet it is the greatest
blessing of the modern world.
In discussing Road Signs" H.
j. Sleeps said that he enjoyed
the kind of road that had great
length, like No. IL. There was
great variety and made the great
est impression. He compared
life to a signboards in many ways.
Miss Leila Johnson said that
"Silent Policemen" were more sue
cessful than either the home,
school or church in turning people
to the right. (Laughter.) In that
way they are always doing good.
We always know where they
stand, the arc faithful and they
are always at their post.
In presenting Jay Walking"
Mrs. H. e. Cole found many who
cut corners, not only pedestrians.
at the corners but men like Edi-
son who make a short cut to give
us better lighting and other con-
veniences.
F. H. Horstman said that "Bal-
con Tires" were too close to the
ground to arouse the imagination.
The topic would not stand much
pressure and would not fit any ma.
chine. He said when the Ameri-l
cans want something they get it.
They wanted balloon tires and got
them, they wanted prohibition and
got it, they want peace in the world
and that will come.
Gas and Brakes
District Attorney II. J. BOhn, in
discussing "Gas" made many
Joyful thrust at the former speak
ers and explained the difficulties
he had in reducing the subject to
q preSenJaDle toast.
Rev. E. C. Henke found three
kinds of BRAKES" and explained
the necessity of sometimes having
these, not only on automobiles but
in every day life
Short addresses were also made
by S. j. Hood, Rev. ]. E. Kundert,
and former Lieutenant Governor
e. F. Dithmar.
There was music BY q double
quartette, piano numbers by Mrs.
H. J. Bohn, and a closing song led
by the chorus. The tables were
decorated with tulips, bridal
wreath and other creations of The
month of May.
