States New Traffic Laws
Are Now Being Enforced
Positive Speed Limits Are Not De-
fnitely Observation-Disclosures
Cannot Lower State Limits

The recent legislature enacted
many laws regarding traffic in or
der to standardize enforcement
throughout the state and as re-
suit many matters that have had
local enforcement only in the past
will be decided by state law in the
future.
The traffic code also takes into
account many things that have
been frowned on by various safety
associations but have never had
legal dignity before.
1t is now unlawful to:
Stand in a roadway to solicit a
ride, except from public convey
ance.
Glitch" to motor vehicles with
toboggans, sleds or bicycles.
"Coast" cars down grade, with
out the owners consent.
Board any public conveyance
while in motion.
Display bathing beauties, cam
paign cards, or other posters on
wind-shields or windows.
Use a muffler cut-out on any
highway.
Operate car without a wind
shield wiper.
Make unnecessary noise or op-
Grating a vehicle as to emit ex-
cessive smoke.
Use siren, compression, or spark
plug whistles on any except police
or fire vehicles. Police and fire cars
must be equipped with a sirene,
bell or exhaust whistle.
Use red or green lights, visible
from in front of any vehicle except
police and fire vehicles.
Place cars with "For Sale" signs
on streets or highways.
Use bicycle at night without a
front light and a red or yellow re-
fiector or light in the rear.
Like the old law, the new code
fixes no positive speed limits, but
places upon the driver the respon-
sibility for operating his car with
due regard for the safety and
rights of others. It, provides that
he must not operate his car at a
greater speed than is reasonable
and proper, with due regard to
the traffic, but makes operation OF
car above certain speeds prima
facie evidence of reckless driving.
These speeds are:
Fifteen miles an hour when car
approaches within fifty feet OF
railroad or street car track where
the drivers view is obscured, when
passing a school during recess OF
when children are going to O,
from school, when going around
curves or on grades where the
driver does not have a clear view
100 feet ahead, when approaching
or crossing a highway where the
driver does not have a clear view
200 feet ahead, and when going
through the closely built up por-
tons of "a municipality, or where
traffic is congested.
Twenty miles an hour in resi-
dence districts and on streets
where there are traffic officers OF
traffic control devices. Municipal.
ties are permitted to fix higher
! speed limit on arterial highways.
Municipalities are not permitted
to make lower speed limits except
, that they may fix lower limits fol
trucks whose weight exceeds 49,,
900 pounds.

MEMOIRS OF UNCLE JOE CANNON
As Told WHITE

Southland, in the low miasmatic
swamps, there was a woman. She
was young, handsome and under Gods
law had as much right to live and
control her own actions as any of us,
She was of one-eighth African and
seven-eighths white blood, Just like
your blood and mine. The overseer of
the plantation where she was held in
bondage sought to prosecute her be-
cause she would not assent to his
advances.
Escapes to Swamps.
She escaped into the swamps.
Bloodhounds were set on her trail.
She boarded a little steamboat which
piled on a small river which empties
into the great Father of Waters. In
the fullness of time she landed at the
first station in Illinois, name not
given, and. proceeded from station to
station. Finally she arrived in Prince

keeper of that station at Princeton

"As Lovejoy reached the end of
this simple recital women sobbed and
men swore. He lowered his eyes to
his audience again and Numbered:

And men did straighten up, for
