One picture the New Palace has booked holds especial interest. It is Colleen Moore in Ella Cinders." h. cidentally, this drama was reviewed over the radio from station WIZ the other night and proved highly entertaining. In brief. Colleen has the role of a once wealthy but now impoverished girl who, 10 escape fom the company of some unde- sirable friends, makes a midnight exit. Her only garments are suit of mans clothes she hastily grab bed. She falls in with a band of hoboes and. noting they accept her as boy. trails along with them. It is from this that the story gets it's big kick and the romance is carly ob- vious when one notices that the hobo leader Is especially kind and gracious to the California Kid".

What they think db0ufff'
Passing on the Highway

The Wyoming law regulating the
operation of motor vehicles on
highways" provides that the driver
of a vehicle which overtakes and
passes another vehicle on a public
highway shall in passing around the
other vehicle, swing his vehicle to
left of the center of the highway
and shall not swing it back to the
center of the highway until it is
at least so feet ahead of the We
hicle which has been passed. A
very large number of the drivers
of motor vehicles either are ignor-
ant of this provision of law or
deliberately violate it, as testifies
the frequency with which they
"shave" other vehicles in passing

folly. But these federal loan agencies financed through tax
exempt bonds, have furnished the stimulus which has encourage
ed private bankers and private investors to study the farm
loan question in a more serious manner and evolve better
and more efficient methods of furnishing the farmer money.
Public regulation and economic conditions forced the
public utilities to adopt the customer and employee ownership
method of financing their properties. 1t is altogether pro-
bable that private enterprise as a result of changing farm
problems may evolve a system of financing farm loans on
a somewhat similar basis, namely, selling farm securities to the
public in small amounts through a general holding or investing
company which deals in farm mortgages. Why not? 1t is being
done in banking and public utility securities. Is is impossible
to figure out a somewhat similar system for farms?
, 1926-02-03

and "cut in" barely ahead OF We
hicles which have e passed.
These wisely would follow to its
conclusion news of an action which
has been instituted at Cody which
will subject the traffic regulations
referred to to their first test in
court.
In the Cody case 1t is charged
that one Jack Morrison, while driv-
ing an automobile, overlook and
passed an automobile driven by w.
G.. Sherwin and then "cut in" ahead
of the Sherwin car so closely that
the two cars came in contact, with
the result that the Sherwin car was
forced from the road and one of its
occupants, Barbara Kelley, a little
girl, was jolted out and killed. Nor
rison at first was charged with
manslaughter but the charge has
been reduced to violation of the
traffic law.
The law relating to driving one
vehicle around another vehicle
which has been overtaken on a
public highway is a provision of
Chapter 15S, Session Laws of Wyo-
ming, 1925. Specifically, it is this:
and whenever any person travel
ing in any vehicle or conveyance
on any public roads or highway
shall overtake another vehicle or
conveyance travelling in the same
direction. and shall by sound or
call, indicate to the driver thereof
a desire to pass, it shall be the
duty of the driver of the vehicle
or conveyance in front, If the ma
ture and condition of the ground
and of his load will permit, to turn
promptly to the right of the center
of the road, and the driver of the
vehicle or conveyance behind shall
then turn to the left of the center
of the road and pass without in
terfering or interrupting, and the
driver of the vehicle or conveyance
passing, shall not return the We
hicle to the center of the road I'M
til at least fifty feet ahead of the
vehicle or conveyance passed"
This provision of law is, as so
many provisions of law regrettably
are, crudely expressed but it's in
tent is perfectly clear. 1t is law
predicated upon wisdom and it
should be enforced.-Cheyenne Tri-

Christmas Cards Vital
Part of Holiday Season

TN OUR modern world Of today the
sending and receiving Of greeting
cards has come to be a very vital
part Of the holiday season, so much
so, In fact, that we can nearly gauge
the number OF our friends by the
number Of cards received. Each year
as the Yuletide season approaches
millions Of these little messages Of
love and good wishes travel from one
to another and everywhere mail car
rlers staggeP under the load Of them
which they carry. For while one
Christmas card may not weigh very
much, yet, when hundreds Of them are
piled together they make no mean
weight.
Nowadays there are special cards
for every member Of the family from
grandpa to baby, not to mention those
for sweethearts, friends, etc, and
there are cards for any and all Occa-
siOns. Just as you and I are recover
ing from the effects Of the Christmas
celebrations each year verse writers

their brains for new and catchy senti-

Christmas Tree Custom
Had Origin in German

The custom Of displaying and dec
Grating Christmas trees had it's origin
in Germany. 1t was introduced into
Great Britain by Queen Charlotte, the
German wife Of George Ill The Hon.
Amelia Murray, a lady attached to the
court, thus described the Christmas
tree festivities: Queen Charlotte,
true to her German associations, regu-
larry had a Christmas tree dressed up
either at Buckingham palace or at
Kew palace. It was hung with pres
ents for the children, who were invit-
ed to see It; and I well remember the
pleasure it was to hunt for ones own
name which was sure to be attached
to n or more Of the pretty gifts"
Queen Charlotte came to the throne in
1760, so that the British cult Of the
Christmas tree is only. 1875 years old.

ments for cards for the next Christ
mas season. A really good versa
bit Of sentiment that speaks the very
thought within our hearts-is worth q
small fortune to the manufacturer
that gets hold Of It.
It seems hard to believe In the face
Of all this that 1t Is only a little
fewer than eighty years ago that the
first Christmas card was made and
that It was as late as the year 1852
when the public first began to send
out cards and then the custom was
practiced only by the few. But, like
other things that supplied a lOng-felt
need, the sending Of greeting cards
grew by leaps and bounds until, today,
Christmas would not seem like itself
at all without these little messages
from those we lOve.-Katherine Edel-
