The daredevil clown has been fea-
tured in the roundups at Pendleton,
Cheyenne, Tucson and many eastern
cities and the local roundup manage
ment feels very fortunate in being
able to secure him as an added
attraction for the Bisbee show.
Breezy Cox Coos Boldly
Participant in the Bisbee rodeo will
have no less parsonage than Senor
s'Breezy' Cox to fight for honors
it is announced Breezy is one of
the most picturesque of all cowboys.
He halls from Solomonville, Arizona
but his home is the wide, wide west,
wherever the cows do roam.
Although Breezy has not competed
for the annual Roosevelt trophy many
followers of the cowboy sports regard
him as the best all round cowboy
in the world He stars in every
branch of the sport, riding the Wild
est of the broncs and steers, ire
quently taking first money in the
bulldogging and calf roping contests
and generally acquitting himself in
notable fashion. He rides broncs
bareback, generally takes the money
in the wild horse race and always
makes good showing in the wild
COW milking contest
The cowboys, nickname is the out
growth of his never ceasing line of
chatter and his magnificent non
chalance while going about the
dangerous business of riding unbroken
horses. Because of his willingness 70
bet on either side of any event he
has come to be affectionately known
among his fellows as Bet you a
hundred Breezy Cox"

TOWEL THEFTS PUZZLE
GERMAN RAIL CHIEFS

BERLIN, March 26 lP-The federal
railways commission is in a quandary
as to what to do to prevent the
theft of towels from train washrooms.
Though the size of the cotton towels
has been reduced from time to time
until they are just about large enough
to dry a pair of hands, more than
100000 are appropriated each year
by passengers. German travellers have
a violent dislike for paper towels,
which are extremely rare.

German Unemployed
Get Ad Section Free.

BERLIN, March 26 R-Numerous
daily newspapers capitalize the large
numbers of unemployed in Germany
by giving away the want ad sections
of their papers.
Soon after press time bundles of
several hundred papers containing
nothing but the ads are placed on
boxes in front of the offices. Anybody
is welcome to help himself to a
copy.
The Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation reports that as an advertising
feature the stunt pays, since person
finding job through the paper
frequently becomes reader. The
net gain in paid up circulation is
valued more highly than the slight
gain in street sales that might result
by the sale of the papers to jobless.

driving motor vehicle unless license
plates are displayed on both front and
rear in such manner as to be plainly
visible.
Originally number plates were in
tended only for Identification purpo-
ses; today they are also sign that
you have paid your tax for better
highways.
Some drivers, for obvious reasons,
purposely leave their license plates
dirty. or have them partly covered by
bumpers, trunks, or baggage, so as
to make Identification difficult
Others through pure negligence
leave the plates dirty and obscured.
This leaves them under the suspicion
that they want to avoid Identification.
If you are law-abiding driver, and
take pride in your citizenship, see that
your plates are clean and plainly
visible from both front and rear.

CLOSING STREETS FOR CELEBRA
TIONS TO BE DISCOURAGED

The State Highway Department has
issued a request to cities and villages
on trunk highways not to plan any
street fairs or other celebration which
will interfere with traffic on the state
routes. No street which is part of a
trunk highway may be closed for a
fair or celebration without the per-
mission of the district maintenance
superintendent, and this permission
will be granted only on very excep-
tional occasions. Nearly all towns
have streets which are better suited
for such purposes than the street
which happens to be used for trunk
highway.
At this time of the year, when high
way traffic is at its height detouring
this traffic over side streets causes
inconvenience both to motorists and
to residents on the streets used, espe-
cially if these streets are not paved

OBEY TRAFFIC LAW;
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
XIII. Driving ON Pavements.

The law requires drivers of all We
hicles to stay on the right half of the
road except when passing other We
hicles or when road conditions make
it impractical.
On pavements keeping to the right
is especially important. Many drive
with the left wheel on the center line.
This is dangerous; if you meet another
driver doing the same thing, there is
an accident
Standard pavements are eighteen
feet. If you keep your left wheels
two feet outside the center line, you
still have fully two feet between your
right wheels and the edge of the
pavement. Even if the right wheels
go out on the shoulders, nothing SER
ious happens. But if the left wheels
go too far left-read any newspaper
and see what happens.
XIV. Following Too Closely.
'The driver of motor vehicle or
street car shall not follow another
vehicle more closely than is reason
able and prudent having due regard
to the speed of such vehicles and the
traffic upon and the condition of the
highway and the condition of his We
hicle" 1t often happens when there is
an accident, two or three other We
hicles will run into the wreckage be-
cause the drivers are too close to stop
quickly. If they observed the above
section of the state law, this would
not happen.
The distance that is reasonable and
prudent" is not specified, but is left
to the judgment of the driver, in the
case of passenger vehicles. But in
the case of trucks, the law specifically
provides that in driving outside of
any municipality, they shall not be
closer than 100 feet, except when over
taking and passing another vehicle.
XIV. Displaying License Plates.
The state law prohibits anyone from

that animals, lacking souls, could

do the angels get strings for their
