BOULEVARD RULES
 ID BE ENFORCED
Police Board TiShtens West
 Main Street Enforcement
DRIVE AGAINST SPEEDING
One Way Traffic on Church Street Adopted-Bus Terminals at Cen tral Park Again Brought up Be fore Commission.

Two campaigns, one 10 stop mo- torists from entering the West Main street boulevard from a side street without first coming to full stop at the intersection, and an other against motorists who abuse the privileges which are given to them by the newly created boule- ward, were launched last night when the board of police commis- sioners met at police headquarters on Commercial street.
 "We must make examples of drivers who are arrested because they do not observe the stop signs" declared Michael w. Bannan. chairman of the board. While the present system is not perfect, yet it is decided improvement over the older method"
 Believes in Heavy Fine
 "Drivers who do not come 10 a halt before they enter West Main street must be prosecuted, and I believe that the fine should be hcavy,' the chairman continued. 'Beforo. when a driver entered West Main street. cars already on the street often would have to veor out of their lave of traffic to avoid q crash. But now. since operators coming out of the side streets must stop, chances for collisions are con- sidcrably lcssened.
 "On the other hand. the driver must not think that the street is a speedway, nor that the man coming out of the side streets has no rights. The same rules of the road which applied before the boulevard sys- tenn went into effect also apply now"
 Speeding Banned
 The chairman explained the idea of the new ordinance by saying that when a driver comes to full stop at an intersection he must usually go into first or second gear again before he can drive out onto West Main street.
 "When he does this, ho is sure 10 have his car under complete con- trol," the chairman asserted. "and the dangers Of smashups are les scncd.
 "But, If there is a smash. and it is proven that the driver of the car approaching the intersection from side street storped before he turned onto West Main street. the driver of the car on West Main street at the time can be arrested for reckless driving, and the arrest usually carries with it tho reroCa- ton of his drivers license"
 Street Cars Criticized
 Some sentiment was expressed at the meeting concernin" street cars on West Main street. Some of the commissioners thought that slowly moving one man street cars held up traffic so much that the street did not even approach the boulevard idea. Others pointed out that the real purpose of the through traffic

6sToHN is worrying me almost

mother to a friend. Hes been
doing some supplementary history
reading lately and is perfectly en-
crossed with the lives of saints
and monks and hermits. He has
decided he wants to be a second
st. Anthony of Egypt, or some
other monk who lived on bread
and water and saw no one. The
friend considered the idea care
fully for few moments, then re-
piled. Well. why don't you let
him try it? You have the old tool
house down at the end of the
yard. Let him live there for three
or four days on bread and water
and see what happens.

mother.

friend, He's all boy. and when

Much against her own convic-

plan. John put boughs on the
floor of the shed. covered them
with an old blanket, took few
precious books along and reported

times a7lay, for ONE day. Along

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN.
A most urgent desire for a
tiny bit of your knowledge has
prompted this note.
My sister is sending out her
wedding invitations in a weeks
time. There. is much discussion
over it's form. We desire to have
the usual invitations-"Mr and
Mrs. Joseph --." Our rela-
tfves are Mortified at our igno-
rance in Using our stepmother's
name and say we should only
use the fathers name. IT II is
ignorant to love anyone and not
wish to offend her, we are most
certainly not learned. This
woman I'VE call Mother" has
raised rs all since we entered
school. so why should we omit
her name when we wish to honor
her on the most delightful day
of our life?
Won't you please inform US
and settle a family dispute?
ID. p.
You are right-indeed, you are
right To begin with, 1t is al
ways good form to use the name
of steprnother or a stepfather
in such formal invitations, when
1t Is possible to do so. and when
doing so offers no complications
or justified objections. And. in
the circumstances that you set
forth. / agree with you that it
would be nothing short of cruelty
not to use the name of this
mother who has been so infinitely
kind to you. You are right when
YOU maintain that not to use
your stepmother's name would be
ignorance.
