There are various reasons why set
tiers come to Palestine. The chief and
fundamental reason, however, as
stated several times, is the patriotism
and the spiritual motive for creating
the national home. Others come to
get away from the hardships inflicted
on them in the countries of Europe
where they have lived to a more
friendly environment.
The community method of settle

POLICE DRIVE AGAINST BAD
AUTO LIGHTS, RESULT IN FINES
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO
MOTOR WITH NO TAIL LIGHT
State Highway Police Making Many
Arrests - Warming Sufficient to
Fine More Than so Per Cent

The campaign of the State High
way Police against viOlators of state
motor and traffic regulations, and par
ticularly the careless driver who al
lows but one of his lights to burn and
who lets his tail-light go out without
paying any attention to it, continued
in lower Delaware last week as well
as on the Philadelphia turnpike. State
highway policemen sought for viola
tors about Laurel and Georgetown
and found many whom they instructed
to appear before a magistrate and al
low him to adjust their case. Accord
ing to the state police the larger num-
Der of violators for non-burning tail
I lights are to be found in rural sec
tions. In larger towns the town or
city police would stop the motomst
and instruct them to have their lights
attended to. In the country there is
no one, except an occasional state po-
liceman, to do this duty, and conse-
quently the motorists are able to slip
by.
Fifty per cent of those whose lights
have been found defective have beer
fined by magistrates throughout the
state. This proves conclusively thai
the motorists have been careless anC
at fault, because the state policemen
have for a year been warning motor
lists about the question of prOpel
lights and this crusade against driv
erS whose acts menace the genera
public is not new move, but has beer
a movement that has been agitatet
for twelve months. Consequent,
there is no one to blame except tn
mOtorist.
Wherever a motorist has been warn
ed about faulty lights, his card ha
been punched, and this serves as evi
dence against him if he is fOun
again with his lights out. Whereve

have shown exceptional mercy and

they are doing now and order tn
driver to report to the nearest mag
istrate.
: According to w. w. Reynolds, ST

placed in grave danger because he
may think it is motorcycle and un-
less he is extremely cautious, col
lsion is bound to occur.
At the same time that the state pO-
lice are watching for faulty lights
they are also seeking for other de-
fections on the part of the driver who
may violate motor and traffic regula-
tions.
Secretary of State William G. Tay-
lor, who is also chairman of the State
Highway Commission, is back of the
movement to correct the light evil as
far as motor cars go. Mr.. Taylor has
had so many complaints made to him
about careless drivers who operate
their motors with one headlig ght and
often no tail-light, that he is heartily
in sympathy with the state police in
their move to see that the laws are
lived up to. If this regulation was
new one there would be some len
iency for the mOtorist, it is stated,
but it's the law and always has been
since motors were invented and there
is no excuse for faulty lights in a
majority of cases as the fines impos-
ed by the magistrates indicate.
1t is the hope of the highway Of
ficials that the question of faulty
lights may be vividly impressed upon
the drivers of all cars before the
! summer season with its heavy travel
opens up. If the cars all have proper
lights, then one way of avoiding ac-
cidents will have been accomplished.
For some peculiar reason the num-
Der of intoxicated drivers has increas-
ed in the psat ten days, Judging from
the arrests made. Many of these
have been men who have faced a mag
istrate on the charge the second time
On some of these the magistrate has
imposed not only heavy fines, but d
prison sentence. Contrary to what

A CHANGE OF SOME
SORT is NECESSARY

Judge Morley, governor-elect, has
suggested a change in the primary
election law to which we heartily
agree. AS the law now stands a Re.
publican may go into a Democratic
primary, or a Democrat into a Re.
publican primary election. and vote
to the disadvantage of the opposi.
tion by selecting the weaker candi.
dates for the general election.
This has often been practiced. es-
pecially when there We're no contests
for certain offices in the other party
1t often results in the nomination of
weak candidate and an easy victory
for the opposition in the general cleo.
tion.
To overcome this Judge Morley
would have the law amended in such
a manner as to make it necessary
for voter to register his or her
party affiliations, and when entering
the booth on primary election dav.
be given only one ticket-that of the
party under which registration has
been made, thereby eliminating the
possibility of voters casting a secret
ballot for the weaker candidates on
the opposition ticket.
We do not believe a voter has a
right to vote the primary ticket of
the opposition party any more than
they had the right to participate in
the old-time conventions of the op.
position. We are for you Judge
Morley, on this proposition.-Long-
mont Times.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS THAT
ARE UNDERWAY
BY Edward Nelson DineIey

Washington, d. C.-According TO
report made to Congress by the
Secretary of the Treasury, Uncle
Sam is now constructing or pre-
pairing for construction, more than
2SO public buildings in the sever
al states and Alaska. Pennsyl-
vania leads with II buildings;
then come New York state, Ohio,
Illinois. with 16 each; Texas with
Is; Missouri with IA; Kentucky
with 10; Georgia with IL; North
Carolina with 10, and all the 9TH
ers with from nine to one. Most
OF these buildings will be occu-
pied by postoffices.
In January, 1922, 5,S46 postof-
fees were in rented buildings and
only 1,119 in buildings owned by
the government The government
in the fiscal year 1929 paid So
262,515 for rentals under lease OF
these privately owned buildings
Rentals not under lease bring the
grand total paid out by the gov.
ernment for rented quarters up to
S11 $50, ,056, not including garages.
which brings the rental expendl-
uure up to $12,24S,977. The gov
ernment obviously could save
money by owning its own build
ings.

VILLA MARIA
SlTEISSEClJRED
INBROWNSVILLE
Thirty Acres of Land Is
Decided to Sisters, An
nounces Father Figon;
Bonus Is Sought

A site for the proposed Villa Maria
academy Brownsville, school for
girls, has been secured, AMI prepar-
ations, are being made for con struction
work on the building in the near future,
conditioned on the raising of $4,000
bonus here, Rev. Father Jean 3. Frigon
announced today.
Father Frigon issued the following
statement in connection with acquisition
of the site for the buildings:
The deed to 80 acres of ground or
ten city blocks, situated on jefferson
street between the Mercy hospital and
the Brownsville high school, was de-
livered this morning to the Sisters Of
the Incarnate Word by the Fitch,
Lomax & Henson company. The consid-
Grafton was not made public but the
property is valued at well over $780,
600.
The sisters will start building the
new college as soon as pending nego
hatiors for loan Of $l5O,0O0 to
100000 are completed. This loan is
to be made by some banking house, pro-
yiding however the citizens of Browns
vile subscribe a bonus of $4,000 to-
wards the immediate building of the
main construction of the new college
Considering the many benefits a modern
institution Of that class will bring to
our city, it is believed that such a rea-
sonable bonus can easily be raised with
in a very short time The sisters of
the Incarnate Word state that if all be
well they expect to open Villa Maria
College for the fall term of 1926. 1t
will require about eight months to put
up the first buildings, at an approx-
mate cost Of 100000.
Villa Maria is going to be a sight Of
beauty which will contribute consider
ably in advertising the Rio Granje
Valley and particularly the city of
Brownsville. The buildings will ac-
commodate about $50 young ladies, who
are expected to come from all parts of
the country and from Mexico. The
sisters are preparing a catalogue which
will fully describe the special advan-
tages Of Villa Maria College, including
our beautiful climate, the splendid To-
cation of the college, cozy little lake
Of eight acres and the vast play grounds.
