LAWS ENOUGH NOW

certain citizen of Los Angeles, doubtless in
spred by wish to reduce the number of traffic viola
uons, has made the suggestion that metal tags warn
ing the public that the driver is probation be at
tached to the license plates of those convicted of break
ing the law. He hoped in this way to shame the VIC
lator and through the publicity given him to all
TO be careful.
The Los Angeles police turned down the sugges-
tion at least it filed without action, which a.
mounts to the thing.
In our opinion need more laws to regulate
automobile traffic. What do need is strict enforce
ment for those we have. Not necessarily Jail SEN
tences for the fellow who is ignorant Of the fact that
his ail-light is not lighted; who through slight mis-
take left his operators license in his other suit or who
Is stepping the gas out in the great open spaces
These infractons which are not to be ignored but
they minor that do not brand those guilty of
them criminals
The driver who 'cuts in" in traffic; who deber-
ately ignores boulevard stops; who drives his car
while under the influence of liquor; who fails
else care points where children present. in
short the fellow who thinks he has the right way
all times and everyone must give way him-he is
the chap who should feel the punishment that will
cure hin-a stiff term behind jail bars and the sus-
pension of his drivers license not while he is in jail,
but when he comes out of it.

"SCARFACE" DOOMED?

Word comes out from Chicago, via the mysteri-
Gus grapevine telegraph that gangand has passed
the death sign 'Scarface" Al Caponi, notorious
gangster and thug.
AS far the information states Al has violated
none of gangands warped CODE act that would
spell doom for him. His offence consists in growing
powerful that gangland is fearful lest he become
before whom other gang leaders must bow. Gang
land does not believe in permitting any to
achieve such power-hence it kills off any who might
be approaching such point.
If Al is removed by gsngland-and the grape
vine telegraph seldom errs in its rumors-it will be
odd reflection upon the law. The rules of organ
lied society have been oued by Al for years without
any punishment being dealt out to him, yet gangland,
when it deems it necessary to punish him. do in
the most drastic and effective manner possible One
might we'll believe that gangland is above the law.
1t certainly seems to be thus in Chicago at least.

COMFORT AT HOME

For the information of those who when a holiday
approaches begin to wonder where they can spend the
day IN comfort, we pass on discovery over the
tourth OF July, of very comfortable pace-El Cen

With the thermometer registering only 100 at
CLOCK IN the afternoon, fair breeze blowing and an
opportunity to sit out in the shade Ell Centro can be
a very comfortable place indeed.
The mountains have their lure for us the same as
for others. So does the seashore. But going to and
returning from either of these points requires consid
cradle time and discomfort, particularly when there
Is only single holiday in prospect Those who make
the trip may enjoy short stay at either place. but
upon their return here they usually completely

UNCLE WIGGILY S ROMAN
CANDLE

Even though Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy and Mrs. Longears had
thought il best not to let any of
the little bunny children have fire
V orks for Fourth Of July, Sill there
was lots of fun around Uncle Wig
eily's hollow stump bungalow on
Independence Day.
To begin with there had been q
picnic in the woods, as | told YOU.
Though at first it seemed as if
something was wrong for Uncle
Wiggily forgot part Of the treat
Eut then he saw q funny, mixed mp
sign which, when pat together
read:
GOOD CANDY FOR SALE HERE
ONE PENNY EACH STICK
The sign was in front Of a candy
s; ore and Uncle Wiggily bought
c1ough sweet stuff for everybody,
ortn Nurse Jane. So the picnic was
lots of fun after all
The next day Uncle Wiggily had
Teen chased by the Bob Cat, bUt
the bunny fooled the Bad Chap by
giving him firecrackers instead of
soda crackers, SO Mr.. Bob Cat ran
away.
And now it was after Fourth of
July but still Uncle Wiggilv kept

AR NAIL POPLAR

If any proof in the popularity of air mail service
needed it be found in the action of the govern
ment, which has announced that beginning August l
the rate for air mail will be reduced from the present
charge Of 10 cents half to five cents for the
first and ten cents for each additional
fraction thereof
Such q drastic reduction as this could not be made
unless quantity Of mail is moved by air,
and the government records show that such cOndi-
ton exists.
Under the ruling ordinary letters few Of
which weigh more than ounce, can be sent by air
mail to any part Of the country for three cents more
than the ordinary mail charge
When it is considered that mail leaving Los An
eeles via air arrives in Chicago in 20 hours and in New
York in 30 hours, the advantage Of this service TO bust
ness houses can hardly be estimated
TIE regulation of the postal department also pro-
yidos that it if not necessary to special air mali
stamps, nail to be forwarded by air. Ordinary
stamps may be used, but in all cases air mail must be
so marked.
Inaugurated little more than decade ago air
mail has advanced rapidly in this country until now
the public is afforded the fastest mail service Of any
nation in the world.
