| IN 10 VIOLATE
TRAFFIC RULES,
SURVEY SHOWS
Increase in Law Breaking
Indicated Throughout
United States.

Are you the one motorist in ten
who was guilty of a traffic law vio-
lation in 1927?
And were you one of the motor
lists who helped to pour the $2O,746
into the city Golfers, collected for
motor fines?
An average of one out of ten
motorists and truck drivers in In
dianapolis was charged with viola
lions of traffic laws during 1927,
records of the indianapolis police
traffic department revealed.
Other cities in the United States
report an average of one out of five
motorists charged with violations Of
the traffic laws each year, accord
ing to the American Automobile
Association.
Violations Increase
The compilation reveals that in
eighteen cities violations in 1927
total 614,232, as compared with IT,
940 in 1917.
While car registration in these
cities increased but 326 per cent for
the ten years, there was a 688 per
cent increase in traffic law violation.
But seven cities showed a per-
centage Of increase in car registra-
tons greater than the gain in traffic
violations.
They are headed by indianapolis
which increased the number of &u-
tomobiles and decreased the traffic
violations. Other are: FL Paso, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, Worcester,
Mass; Chicago and Denver.
Baltimore Leads List
Baltimore showed the greatest in
crease in violation of traffic laws,
with gain of 29.75 per cent in the
ten-year period.
Police records show that 1868 mo-
florists paid $20,746 in fines here
during 1927; and that instead of the
number of violations increasing as
a result of an increase in the num-
Der of automobiles and trucks in
the city, there was been decrease
in violations of about 1000.
In 1926 10,517 motorists were fined
$22,253.
Yet in 1926 there were approx
imately 5000 less automobiles and
trucks operating on indianapolis
streets.
License records in the secretary
of states office reveal that 106,263
passenger cars and 22,652 trucks
were licensed in Marion county dur
ing 1927, and of this number a to-
tai of 5000 belonged to persons
living in the county.
n. Too Many Rules
In 1926 1OO,428 passenger cars
and 22,146 trucks were licensed in
Marion county.
Despite the increase in vehicles
there were 1000 less offenses re-
ported, the records show.
Throughout the nation violations
have been on the upgrade as a
result Of the legislation of hundreds
of varying traffic rules which leave
the motoriSt in muddle.
Motor experts are advocating that
all cities have uniform traffic ordi-
nances and regulations.

EASTER AND SPRING.

One cannot dissociate Easter and spring, no matter how early or late the religious fest ival may come nor how unseas- Onable the weather attending its advent. Easter is spring and life is reborn. The dead days are past and the requiem of winter is forgotten as the birds commence to sing the resur- rection of nature. The poet sighs, the sun smiles, perhaps, and the woman with a new spring hat looks anxiously at the meteorological emanations from the shrine on high Olym- puS which the irreverent flip panty call the weather works.
 Besides it's religious meaning that is the spirit and signifi, canoe of Easter and it is older even than the Christian relig- ion. The display of colors and raiment in unison with the earth throwing off it's old gar ments is as ancient as the race Man always has wanted to sing as soon as the birds did and he has done so. Even the Bible has it's beautiful poetic allus- ions to spring, and the vernal festivals of ancient days were 8 public expression of the song that was in the hearts of the people as a whole. We do not have anything we did not in herit, so it is not strange that a woman wants a pretty hat at Easter time. As a matter oi fact it would be strange if she did not. And it is not to be ex- pected that poets will quit car oling about spring as long as nature sends winters that in spire poets to say "Oh, wind if winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

DO YOU READY

"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are" has cried a publicist so often that he has coined a house hold axiom. We'll might an other say: "Tell me what you read and I will tell you what you are!"
 The mind is the house in which we live more truly than is the body. If we furnish the mind garishly we must live in a garish house. If we furnish the mind carelessly, we must live in a slovenly house. If we take our mental furniture only from the past, we shall live in the past. alone. If we take ii only from the faddish notions of the present we shall live amid fads and foibles, which vanish e'er we know them.
 But if, on the other hand, oul mental diet is balanced, com prised of the foods tested by time and sauced and spiced by the piquancy of the present, we may live a balanced, order ed life.
 We can with impunity pour poisons and dark, wild, disor- dered thoughts into our minds no more than we can day after day find strength and health from spurious foods, hastily prepared, indigestible.
 To read we'll, read discrimi- nately, widely, thoroughly.
 What we read becomes part and parcel of us.

BEING USEFUL.

Men and women who SOW the jeed of constant useful activity :eap the harvest of success from a soil fertilized by their own steady purpose.

But in cultivating hat character which reaps rue achievement you may SOW II all seasons and gather the fruits with the serene assur- tnce that even wind and Weather--storm and stress--are part of the process of person. al growth.
 Optimism is an ally of effort md success. It is the kernel of the nut, not the shell. It is the fine trait of the men, not the faults. It is the flowers on the hillside, not the dead leaves under the snow. It is the oppor- tunity in any job, not the grind.

purer. Undisturbed, winters accumulation of dirt and de- birs hides all that is clean and fresh. Washed off a nd carted off it reveals panorama little the worse for the wear and tear of the rigorous months.
 Every property owner, house. holder and business man should sense an overpowering duty in the spring of the year to make his buildings and grounds fit into natures pict- ure of cleanliness and fresh ness. And the performance of this civic duty costs little in time, expense and effort.
 It is the little thing that counts. Rusty cans can mar a yard; new coat of paint can make" a house. Nothing bet ter tells the character of a com s1unity and it's people than the 5ize of it's public dump.
 So the town one wants to live n is busily engaged these days n clearing away the wreckage left by winter, covering up the scars and helping nature mend ner wounds.

Of all the peasants, who constitute

SOCIALISTS LIE
ABOUT CHICHERIN
"Imprecorr" Nails False
Reports in Press

MOSCOW, by MaiD A number
of social democratic papers have re-
ported that at the reception which
was held in honor of the departing
former Austrian ambassador Pohl, a
speech was made by Tchitcherin re-
ferring in appreciatory terms to the
services of Victor Adler as leader of
the Second International.
A correspondent of the "lnprecorr
has made enquiries concerning the
correctness or otherwise Of this re-
port and discovered that comrade
Tchitcherin simply mentioned that
shortly before his death Victor Adler
recognized the Soviet Government in
the name of the republican govern
ment of Austria. Tchitcherin made
no other reference to Victor Adler.
If the social democratic press wish to
regard this act of Victor Adler as one
Of his services, then one can say
nothing against it.
Nevertheless, it must be said that
the social democratic press has OBJ
viously got its information from
white guardist journals and has once
again printed lying report, by
crediting comrade Tchitcherin with
praise Of the Second International
and its leaders which he never ut
tered.

PRAvDA OUTLINES
COMINTERN TASKS

MOSCOW, (By Mai) In lead
ing article devoted to the tasks of
the coming session of the plenary
meeting of the executive committee
of the Communist International the
"Pravda" points out that the plenary
session of the ECCI will examine a
number of questions of great funda-
mental Importance for the interna-
tional working class movement.
Having regard to the steadily
widening breach between the work
ing class and the bourgeoisie and to
the sharp right-wing swing of the
leaders of the international social
democracy who are steering for a
coalition with the bourgeoisie, the
Communist International must in
crease the struggle against the in
ternational ocial-democracy to the
utmost in order to win the broad
masses of the workers for Commun-
ism. The French and British ques-
tons were therefore down for dis
cussion upon the agenda of the plen-
airy session.
'The plenary session will also deal
with the activity of the Communist
Party of China and determine it's fu-
ture policy. 1t will also deal with
the question of the international ac-
tivity of the Trotskyist opposition
which has now turned its chief atten-
ton to the work abroad. The plenary
session must cause the Communist
Parties to strengthen their work for
the exposure of Trotskyism, one of
the chief sources of the campaign of
lies and ISLANDERS directed against the
Communist International"

WAGES IN USSR
SHOW BIG Gain
Wages in Capitalist
Countries Drop

MOSCOW, (By MaiD Before the
revolution the wages of Russian
workers We're far behind the wages
OF workers of western Europe. Now,
wages in the u. S. S. r. are rapidly
catching up with the wages of
western workers and in some cases
even exceed them. Thus, the real
wages of the Moscow workers are
already higher than those of work
ers of Vienna and Paris.
Wages in the U. S. S. r. grow
constantly and rapidly. In capitalist
countries they diminish or remain on
the same level. Wages in the U. S.
S. r. during the first half of 1921
% were As per cent of the pre-war
level and in 1926-27, during the last
quarter, they have reached level of
Ito per cent of pre-war.
In January 1927 skilled workers
In Germany received 80 per cent of
the pre-war level and unskilled 90
per cent.
In Great Britain the miners re-
ceived in 1927 only so per cent of
their pre-war wages, joiners 80 per
cent and smelterers So per cent.
According to the contemplated
wage rise in the five-year plan of
economic development the wages of
Soviet workers will soon exceed those
