ering the adverse conditions under
which they are working and the high
type OF road they are building is do
ing very WELL
Mr.. Strickler said the four crush
ers are at Winona, IA miles from here
and the oil plant is a little farther
away, which makes long hauling, but
as these central plants are approached
with the work the road will be fin
lshed at correspondingly faster rate.
The rock crushers and haulers work
In two shifts. He said it is a high
type of road that is being built, one
that has been well proven in the east.
First good sub-grade is prepared,
then a course three inches thick of
brushed rock spread Rolling is fol-
lowed by application of oil at a tenn
perature of $50 degree Fahrenheit,
then more rolling, followed by more
rock, more rolling, and more oil. The
last rolling has to be thoroughly done,
so there finally isn't the slightest give
under the roller. This road, he said,
will require practically no mainten-
ance for the first II to Is years. He
said considering all things, the build
ing is going ahead as fast as can be
expected.
Miss Aas was asked to stand and
was applauded. The same pleasant

Miss Margaret Stewart, the live
Wire secretary of our Chamber of
Commerce, gave a fine talk about the
possibilities here if we only will first
realize them ourselves and then get
enthusiastic over them and talk about
them to others. We haven't realized
on our scenic and climatic advantages
as much as we should because we
haven't been sufficiently awake to
them and what they can be made to
mean to us. If we will realize their
Importance, and then boost, we'll sell

try to the rest Of the United States.

HOW AUTOMOBILE CAN
AVOID KILLING PEt)EPIL Ii.

There are today some motorists IN
this city who have little regard for
Che lives OF pedestrians, or for other
motorists. Some Of those drivers put
Eheir cars down the streets at q rate
of speed that is absolutely inimical 10
continued good health for themselves
or those they may chance to meet.
Some motorists drive down Eleventh
street and into G avenue at q rate OF
speed that is from 50 TO IS miles an
hour. Some Of the drivers Of light
trucks IN the city are driving with
great raclzlessness. There seems to
be but ore cuTa Tor such persons, that
is to see that they are haled into
court. The pedestrian or motorisb
who tries 70 keep within the law viii
be doing the community a service if
ne reports 10 the police the license
numbers or TIE names Of drivers who
are violating the speed laws Of the
city
Almost one-third Of all the people
killed by automobiles the past year
were children. With school opening
in this city and county within q short
time, It behoovcs the autoists to again
begin a more particular exercise Of
caution within the school areas or
limits. A. M. Whitney, viee-president
Of the National Safety council, la
nents over the death Of the children,
who are unable to properly protect
themselves when crossing streets and
highways, or. who may be killed while
playing in the streets. 1t is now the
time for al parents to see to it that
children are warned and absolutely
forbidden to play in the streets at any
time, under any circumstances. Each
child should regard the idea Of play
ing in the streets or highways as he
would the taking Of nauseating medi-
cine W.lile many drivers are careful
on the business streets, they forget
that they should be equally cautious
in residential districts. where children
are SO numerous, and in the school
areas, where great numbers Of chill
drea are gathered each day of Che
school week.
A driver should assume that every
child on or near the street may sud-
denly take the idea into his or her
head to dash suddenly into the street
or attempt to cross it, without look
ing inseither direction or paving at
tention to moving vehicles. You cam
not tell from looking at a child, just
what that child is going to do.
Whitney gives ten rules for safety
driving, which are we'll worthy of per-
usal by even the most careful motor
ist. The rules are: Drive slowly and
have absolute control Of your car:
/. Not only when children arc play
ing in the street, but also when they
are playing near the curb or on the
sidewalk.
2. When passing schools or play
grounds.
2. When approaching persons on bl-
cycles, tricycles, roller skates, kiddle-
cars, etc.

who testified for the demonstrators,
contend that the ditch lowered the
level Of the lake more than two feet
and caused great damage to the
property. During the past year, cot
tage owners were instrumental in
the construction of a dam at a point
where the lake water seeps into the
ditch and this dam, it was said,
raised the water within a foot Of it's
original level.
The contention Of the remonstrat-
ors is that IL the ditch Is again
dredged to it's original depth the lake
will be further lowered and property
will suffer an additional damage.

Whether the motorist want the de-

covered by the ballot. Another is
whether or not to permit the con-
struction Of bridges Of more than
twenty-foot span by road contrac-
tors. Stops points out that the
twenty-foot limit is too small and
that unnecessary delays result while
awaiting for bridge builders to do

pleted.

bridges across streams, when bridges
are being rebuilt or repaired, when
the detour is more than two miles

And, sure enough, the sheriff, plain.

right away. And instead of casting off
his erring but remOrseful wife, he took
her in his arms, forgave her and promised
to stand by her.

Stone, ga bad one. But can't believe

But "the other wOman's" own story
threw a great light upon the wife's de-

beauty parlor.

She and MaSSie lived together at var-
Gus Denver hotels, she admitted, and

MaSsie had a commission from the
governor as a special executive agent"
she declared. "He was one of number

all this there had been something too mys-
FERROUS to BE ignored. Still, she did not
want to do her son-in-law any injustice.
Instead of turning the note over to the
authorities, she set private detectives to
work on the case. They made sufficient
investigation to convince Mrs. Rosenbaum
and other relatives that GATHERINGS death
had not been as Massic had related it.
Their report was laid before the JEFF
ferSOn County uthOrities-Jefferson is
the county in which the crime, if it was
a crime, was committed District Attor-
nCy Joel +. Stone acted quickly The
first thing he turned up was the at
traCtivC Mrs. Divelbess. 1t was discov-
cred that Massie had phoned for her to
come to the bungalow before the doctor
had been notified, and that the day after
the death of Mrs. Massie she had gone to
live with him there, bag and baggage.
Both she and MasSie were put under
arrest. Stone journeyed to Carthage and
had Mrs. Massie'S body dug up. The
autopsy showed that whatever it was she
had died of it had not been of brain
hemOIThagc, as had been attested in the
death certificate. Stone went back to
Colorado, carrying with'him the stomach
ana some other organs OF Mrs. MaSSle. He
turned them over to experts for cxamina-
ton.
They reported a few days later that
they had found enough strychnine in them
to have "killed pillow horsew

She was very Respondent"
''What made her dcspondcnt?' asked
Stone. MasSic replied that it was be-
cause she had undergone an operation
not long before and had failed to get back
her strength.
But another reason for the wife's de-
spondency was soon made plain. 1t was
Mrs. Divelbess. No one quite knew who
she was. She had appeared in Denver
last July, moving, after a few weeks, to
an expensive apartment house in the Cap
tol Hill district. Faced with the charge
of being accessory to a murder, she broke
down.
