DIRECTING TRAFFIC
MAIN JOB OF PATROL

Although two members of the new
state highway patrol. Chief Earle
Brown and Patrolman L. A. Auspos,
made a sensational capture of three
bandits recently, pursuing criminals
Is not going to be regular job with
the traffic squad, according to c. NJ
Babcock, head Of the state highway
department.
The quick results achieved by the
traffic officers have been the topic of
much comment during the past week
Many people have voiced a demand
for a larger force with broader police
powers Mr.. Babcock, however. does
not join in the latter demand He
believes the highway patrol should al
ways remain distinctly a traffic force
whose principal duty IS to enforce the
laws to the highways and the traffic
thereon.
Enforcing traffic laws and catching
criminals are two entirely different
jobs" says Mr.. Babcock IF Mime
sofa should decide TO create a state
police or constabulary, it should be
kept separate from the highway patrol.

DISREGARDING STOP"
SIGNS DANGEROUS.

Reports from many parts Of the
state indicate that there is frequent
disregard Of the official STOP" signs
at designated railroad crossings. Many
at designated railroad crossings. Many
accidents have resulted from the fail
ure Of drivers to stop.
Only the more heavily Travelled
trunk highways have been designated
as Thru Roads" and marked with
STOP signs. The driver who turns
into such highway, or crosses it,
without stopping, Is running big
chances Of an accident. The same Is
true Of other roads and city streets
marked with the official stop" sign.
Stop" signs are placed at danger
Gus railroad crossings on both state
and local roads, on orders of the State
Railroad commission. Those who
habitually disregard these signs are
sure to be hit sooner or later, and In
collisions between trains and motor
vehicles the latter always get the
worst of it.
The standard STOP" sign, used
both at arterial highways and railroad
crossings, is octagonal, black and yell
low. Wherever this signs is used, q
fun stop Is required by law.
Traffic on an arterial highway en-
joys no special privileges. Drivers on
such roads are subject to the same
speed regulations, and the same re-
quirements as to careful driving, turns,
signals. ETC., as drivers on other roads.
The stop" requirement is intended
equally for the protection Of those on
the arterial road and those entering
such roads. The driver who enters
an arterial road without stopping, and
the driver on an arterial road who
fails to use reasonable caution at in
tersections, are both likely to have ac-
cidents.

The Minnesota legislature, at a
special session in 1912, makes such an
increase in rates of the Modern Wood

has not been done. Vigorous objec-
ton to the new proposals is being
encountered by the organization from

The courts of Nebraska have already
issued an Injunction against putting
these rates into effect in that state.

Protective Association, the recently

through the bushes He peered across
toward the henyard. He looked over
toward Farmer Browns house. He could
see the lighted windows. "Ah reckon
all can look around~a little and hurt
no one" said Unc' Billy to himself
"Ah reckon there isn't anythin' to be
afraid of right now"
So Unc' Billy grew holder and shuf-
fed across over to the henhouSe. He
could hear the hens stirring uneasily
inside. Now and then there was a low
clDk. Unc' Billys mouth watered. It
seemed to him that never in all his
life had he wanted anything as he now
wanted one of those hens. He couldn't
think of anything else. He knew that
If he could get into that henhouse
there would be no trouble in getting
one of those hens. The first thing was
to get in there. The next thing would
be to get one of those stupid birds
without awakening the others. He had
no doubt that he could do this II only
he could get in there.
So Unc' Billy went around the hen
house hoping he might find q hole
whereby he might get in. He did ind
a hole used by Robber the Rat one
time, but it was not big enough for
Unc' Billy to get through. He could
poke his nose in, however, and did so.
That hole led under the floor Of the
henhouse. Unc' Billy didn't smell hens
there, so he concluded there was no
hole in the floor. It would do him no
good If he could get under there. So
he withdrew his nose and continued
on around.
When Unc' Billy came to the high
wire fence Of the henyard he stopped
to consider. It would be an easy mat
ter for him to climb that fence. Moth
ing could be easier. He could climb up
one side and down the other. Then
he would be inside the henyard. There
he would have a chance to try that
little door to the henhouse-the one
the hens used. The big door he knew
was closed and locked. Somehow, he
didn't just like getting inside that hen
yard. He knew he could get out again
just as easily as he could get in; but
he couldn't help the feeling that it was
a sort Of pen. So for "a long time he
hesitated
At last he became bold. He started
up the wire, close to one of the posts
When he reached the top Of the post
he sat there for a while. Then he
climbed down inside. ----
