Pontifax had his, as those who have
seen the screen version Of the book

is to remember anything that hap

some use Of It'll"
Methinks, Horatio, that this is
pretty good philosophy. Why not
forget to remember-or remember
to forget-all the unpleasant things
that have happened to us?
Half the time we hang out crepe
and look for mourners, not Tor
present troubles but for something
that has happened to us years ago.
Women are chief offenders, they
say, and I believe it is true. I have
seldom had the misfortune to meet
man who howled calamity over
his past.
Yet 1 can think right this min
ute of dozens of women who can
cry to order over a disappointment,
quarrel, love affair, or an ILL
ness that happened years ago.
Even speaking Of. operations,
don't believe 1 ever heard man ex-
cept Irwin Cobb tell about his, UNI
less he was asked.
1t isn't that men are so reticent.
To them goes not all the glory of
silence. They actually do forget.
What is finished is finished and one
day at time is enough. Women
are supposed to live in the future.
They are supposed to be Missionaries
and dreamers. Well, am here to
say that for every thought many
women have for tomorrow, they
have two for yesterday, particularly
if yesterday was hamStrung for

vail, according to the suit, will be

the Office.
Hogue should take the Office be-
cause of Mr.. Shanks death, it will

Attorneys said they will confer
further before definitely deciding to
file the suit.
In the quo warranto proceedings,
it will be held that Mrs. Duvall,
not sitting as city controller, has
no legal right to the place, because
she was appointed by Duvall.
Duvall was convicted Sept. % Of
violation of the corrupt practices
act. 1t will be charged that he was
a de facto mayor until Sept. %, but
since that date he has been a
usurper of the Office.
An opinion recently was sub
mitted by a group of attorneys to
prospective purchasers Of municipal
bonds that the bonds were illegal
with Duvall's signature.
A test suit is to be filed soon, it
was said, to determine whether
municipal improvement contracts
bearing Duvall's signature are valid.

LARGER CITIES
GUARD SAFETY
OF PEDESTRIAN
Motor Traffic Stopped for
Walkers; Separate Light
Signals Provided.

A traffic system which considers
the welfare of the pedestrian is
working successfully in at least
eleven cities of the United States
, which have been studied by Todd
StoopS Hoosier Motor Club mana
ger.
Stops, Robert Scrogin, Hoosier
Motorist editor and newspaper rep
resentatives compose a committee
named by the board of safety to
work in cooperation with Police
Chief Claude M. Worley in devising
"a new plan for indianapolis which
will give pedestrians "a chance" on
downtown corners.
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo and
Chicago follow the plan of allowing
pedestrians to walk on the amber
light while motor traffic is stopped,
Stops said.
Separate Pedestrian Light
A survey shows Seattle, Portland,
San Francisco, Los Angles, Austin,
Dallas and New Orleans, have a
separate red light which signals the
pedestrian when he has the right
of way.
I'm Los Angles they have rule
which prohibits any left turns at
an alley, which I think adds for
greater safety precaution. Any
driver coming out of an alley must
swing directly into the right going
traffic" Stops said.
Turning left from an alley
naturally causes confusion if there
are other cars approaching" he said.
It has been proposed to the local
committee that the traffic code be
amended to provide signals for
pedestrians and an interval when
only walkers shall move at inter-
sections where there are traffic con-
trolls or policemen. A city ordinance
amending the code is necessary be-
fore police can establish any
pedestrian regulations.

There is no city in the United
States which gives less considera-
ton to walkers. If anyone would
stand at corner and check the
pedestrian and auto traffic as !

of the need for some regular in
