REGISTER NOW

Registration of voters is again in line
for those who have not registered since
the first of the year.
Although the August primary election
is still some distance away, time has
habit of sneaking up and catching us un-
awares. The time for registering so as
to be eligible to vote in the primary will
expire on July 26 and almost before we
know it, that date will be here.
With vacations coming on, many per-
sons will overlook registering until it is
too late. The thing to do is to register
now, at once, before it is forgotten.
Every county officer, with the excep-
ton of superior court judges will be up
for election this year and it is up to the
voter to see that he is eligible to exercise
the right of franchise
Many local residents failed to register
in time for the city election. They should
not make the same mistake twice, ana
prevent their votes being cast at the prlm-
ary election.

DRIVE CAREFULLY

School has closed for the summ0c, anu
with its closing several hundred children
are released for the summer months,
many of whom must do their playing on
the streets or adjacent to them.
1t behooves motrists in the city to
drive little more carefully than here
tofore, when the children were in school
for the greater part of the day.
Youngsters frequently have the bad
habit of running first and looking after
ward, so that they are quite likely to run
into danger. The motorist must be pre-
pared. The best preparation is to know
that ones brakes are in good working
order and then to observe the speed laws.
If this is done, there will be no fatal
tragedies here this summer. We have
been particularly fortunate in this re-
spect in former years and all motorists
should do their utmost to keep up the
good record.
1t is better to be on guard every mo-
ment than to have something happen
that might cause the death or serious
injury of child

WORSE THAN POISON

Eating cream puffs is the latest alibi
given as an excuse for appearing intoX-
icated. the alibi being advanced last
week by a Hollywood picture star who
was arrested for intoXication.
His story was that he and his COM
panion had enjoyed glass of wine at a
friends house and then had partaken of
cream puffs with disastrous results, the
combination producing a nausea that
that made the police believe them intoX-
icated
His story may or may not be true, but
there is one person living in this world
who knows what terrible nausea cream
puffs can produce when they are preced-
ed into the human system by some stim-
ulant.
This particular person recalls boy
hood stunt of trying to chew tobacco and
making mess of it by swallowing to-
bacco, juice and ALL In fear that the
odor of tobacco might be detected on ar
rival home, two or three cream puffs
were hastily swallowed.
The result was that one terribly sick
youngster wobbled up to the family door
step where somebody who knew him
would find the body if what he believed
was going to happen became reality.
Before passing into oblivion the young
ster had the narrowing thought that he
was going to die. 1t was followed by
the more terrible one that perhaps he
would not die, but would live on to ripe
old age with cream puffs to be encount-
cred many times day, week in and week
out That thought brought the climax
and upon returning to consciousness it
seemed odd to the youngster that he
should be in the old familiar room, in
stead of in the heavenly mansions or the
burning pit.
