Examinations were resumed this
bus 100 per cent baby clinic in the
Raphael store, with rs babies hav-
ing been called. AS usual, morning
clinics will be held the rest Of this
week. Saturday excepted. A limit Of
1000 babies was set by the COM
mittee at the opening. but with still
four weeks before the opening of the
Parents Exposition and great
number of babies being entered
daily, they are seriously thinking of
extending this limit. The previous
record was in Rochester, N. Y. a
city Of $4,000. when 1869 young
sters were examined.
The health examinations comprise
only one part of the contests. and
after the babies have received their
rating they then are eligible or the
popularity contests oroviliny they
have attained a health rating of So
per cent or better. The babies are
divided into six divisions Cor CEN
venience in keeping the records.
three divisions for males according
to age. and three for females for the
same reason. Prizes will he awarded
separately Tor health, for auty
and for popularity IN each division.
and winners and runners up of each
division will he eligible to compete
the last two Gays o. the exposition
for the title o. Baby New Britain"
the grand prize baby.
According to the contest authori-
ties, negotiations are being made
with a firm of national advertisers
and with trade journal Of inter Ia
tional circulation whereby the win
ners of all contests conducted
throughout the United States under
rules of the American Medical asso-
citation will at the end Of the year
compete for a great grand prize low
ing cup.
In the Miss New Britain" cleo
ton, candidates are still being ac-
cepted. Notwithstanding ep2ate 1
statements of the knights that this
is in no way to be considered h
beauty contest, some of the girls
nominated were of the opinion that
beauty was to be the basis of final
Judging. This is not the case, the re-
quirements being personality, in
itIative and contributive ability to
the knights Of Columbus in their
endeavor to increase their building
fund. The official opening OF the
election will take place Wednesday
night at a meeting of all candidates
First count of votes will take place

II the demurrer il overruled. the
court of Impeachment may revive
the famous case growing out of Mrs.
McPherson's kidnapping story.
Judge Hardy. who admittedly
played an important role In the
fight to prove that Mrs. McPherson's
story was true, has acknowledged
the receipt of $4,000 from the evan
gelist at the time the Los Angeles
district attorneys office and the
county grand jury was investigating
her disappearance. One of the
principal charges against him 10 that
he received the money for perform
ing legal services for the evangelist
in a violation OF the state constitu-
ton.
Just q "I.Oye Offering
Both the jurist and the evangelist
have testified that the $500 was a
"love Offering" Mrs. McPherson's
mother. Mrs. Minnie Kennedy. has
as ted that the money was paid
for legal services. Hardy was GUST
ed from membership in the Ameri-
can Bar assoc ton for accepting the
money and the state bar has institut-
ed similar proceedings.
Mrs. Mcpherson disappeared at
Ocean Park, Cal. in May, 1926. Sew
eral weeks later she appeared at
Douglas, Ariz., and declared she had
been abducted and taken to Mexico,
where she escaped. After she had
told the story to the grand jury, Asa
Keyes, then district attorney,
brought charges of conspiracy
against Mrs. Mcpherson, alleging
her story was false and that part
OF the time she had been with Ken
meth Ormiston, radio operator at her
Angelus temple, at Carmel, Cal.
Judge Hardy confessed that h.
made efforts to produce proof of her
story. The Impeachment charges
declare he obstructed justice by de-
Tending the evangelist even though
he knew she had not been kidnap-
ped.
The judge is accused of having at
tempted to intimidate prospective
witnesses against Mrs. Mcpherson
and of having warned a grand jur-
or to "lay off the Aimee case"
Mrs. Kennedy broke with her
daughter about year ago. Several
times recently the mother has hint
ed that the truth Of Mrs. McPher-
sons disappearance has not been re-
vealed.

1O6 suspensions This is a consider
able increase over 1925, the first
years that proof of financial re-
sponsibility was required in Connec-
ticut. There We're at suspensions
that year, and S37 in 1927.
Suspensions because of fatal ac-
cidents have kept pace with the
rate from motor vehicles There
were 33s in 1925. 1923 in 1926, 315
in 1927 and 443 in 1928. Oyerloads
on trucks resulted in 236 suspensions
last year. This practice is decreas-
ing, apparently. as there were BAT
suspensions for the offense in 1925,
245 in 1926 and 296 in 1927.
1O3 Convicted of Theft
The records indicate that more
persons are being convicted of theft
of motor vehicles. Last year the
right of 1903 persons to drive was
suspended for theft convictions. In
the three previous years the suspen-
sions for this reason were Sc, AZ
and 81 respectively.
Convictions for operating without
a license are also increasing. Last
year there were 1854, representing
a steady increase from 1896 in 1925.
The licenses of Two operators were
suspended last year because they
allowed intoxicated persons to oper-
ate their cars" This was the first
time the suspension power was in
yOked in such cases
Other suspensions during the
year included: Evading response

drunken DRIVING
CASES INCREASING
New Record for Suspensions
Made During Year 1928

There were more license suspen-
sions in Connecticut in 1928 for the
offense of drunken driving" than in
ally previous year, the state motor
vehicle department announced to-
day. The new high total was L.
$40. This is an increase from 1915
in 1927, 1886 in 1925 and l,2O4 in
1925.
For the same period the depart
ments reports decrease in the
number of cases of So called reck-
less driving. Since 1925 suspensions
for this cause have dropped from
3,0G9 to 2,345. This record is con-
sidered noteworthy in view of the
fact that in the four years there has
been great increase in the number
of operators. Last year there We're
337,623, compared to 266,599 in
1925. Suspensions for both types of
offense, reckless and drunken driv-
ing, followed convictions in the
courts OF determinations of guilt
after special Investigations.
Forty-two offenses are listed
among the reasons for the suspen-
sion Of the licenses of 1926 opera
tors in 1928. The number of differ
ent offenses is about the same as in
other years, but the number OF
licenses increased from 10,750 in
1927 and is about 1000 above the
1925 total.
Fail to Report Accidents
Failure to report accidents is one
OF the most frequent causes for sus-
pension. During the past year g.
23S licenses were suspended for this
reason. Failure 10 file proof of f.
nancial responsibility when ordered
after operators were in accidents

property damage also resulted in L.

ing it within reasonable bounds
that the attempt was made to kill
it entirely by means of the eigh-
teenth amendment, and it is not
therefore surprising that the en-
forcement of the law is accom-
panied by loss of lives.
1t might be interesting to specu-
late as to the number of lives that
were sacrificed to the liquor traffic
in a similar space of time during
the reign of the open saloon, and
it is very conservative to say that
the number would quite over
shadow the number of men killed
during the period of enforcement.

ENFORCING H


(Williston Herald)
Large newspaper headlines tell
us that rs persons have been kill
ed in the past eighteen months
because of attempts to enforce the
national liquor laws and some
treat the news as evidence of the
outrageousness of the prohibition
laws and appear shocked at the
waste of human life.
Well, it does seem too bad that
the enforcement of any law should
be accompanied by the destruc-
ton Of human lives; but a study
of the figures shows that the kill
ing has not all been done by fed
eral agents, but that while they
are charged with killing 16 per-
sons, nine of the enforcement
officials were killed by violators
of the liquor laws while in the
performance of their official du-
ties. Eleven men were killed
while resisting arrest, and in
every case that has been tried,
the agent involved in a killing
has been indicated.
Those engaged in the liquor
traffic were o famed for law
observance; even in the days when
their business was permitted and

SELLING THE CITY
(By Secretary Gordon


April has always been the month
of faith. In April mar is actively
engaged in the preparation of his
years work. 1t is the month Of
planning; of trust in the promise
of the future. In all human ac
tivities it is the month of faith
The farmers sows the seed, the
business man plans his invest.
ments and the years campaign in
his various enterprises. The Com
mercial Club is also arranging
plans for the further upbuilding of
the membership in this organiza-
ton.
This club must represent the
city to the outside world. 1t
serves as a clearing house for in
formation of all kinds relating to
the city. 1t might be called the
sales department of the city. 1t
seeks to "sell' the advantages of
the city to the world and likewise
to keep the city's own people
sold on their home town.
The club depends for its inan-
cial support on the dues paid by
it's members. These dues are an
investment in the welfare of the
city and in its growth and pro-
gress. Better business, more bust
ness, means greater opportunity
and greater business for all bust
ness.
The directors of the club being
human, may make mistakes and
cannot run things to suit every
one. The way to correct mistakes
is not to criticize but rather to
take ar active interest in the af-
fairs of the club and be willing
to responsibilities and
thus assist in improving the work
of the club.
The question is not, What does
it cost to have a Commercial
Club?," but rather, What would
it cost not to have a Commercial
Club in Wolf Point?"
This is the time of the year
when the women are wearing their
hats and dresses and the
man of the house is collecting and
repairing his garden tools in readi-
ness to satisfy his urge for a real
garden this year. The CONNER
cial Club hopes to enlist the CO.
of every citizen of Wolf
Point to clean up every yard in
the city. We want the children to
help. That they can do much has
been proved in former years un-
der the guidance of Superintend-
ent Livingston.
We request all owners of vacant +
property whose lots are covered ]
With refuse, trash, litter and what i
lot, to clean them up. 9
We want visitors to carry back
o their homes that this is not q
only a good town but that it is a G
clean town, a city of homes in /
which people take pride. Go into t
our stores and gaze upon the love
y packets of flower seeds for sale
and then invest in some packages.
# the flowers produced from them
are lovely as portrayed you will
have a great reward. 6
Get ready to do your bit this {
month to make Wolf Point shine i
with cleanliness, freshness and a
on with radiant blossoms. a
