Business Is
Good, If You Go
After 1t.

The adventure of living moves merriIy forward,
old automobiles are being exchanged for new ones,
the call of changing fashions still obeyed, there
no et-up in demand for vast variety of articles
which add to the measure of personal enjoyments
1t may require more resourcefulness and grit to
sell some kinds of goods today especially the high
er priced luxuries, but markets to be found by
dilgent effort, and purchasers stand ready to buy
what they need.
To put up the store shutters, dismiss half of the
clerks and submit supinely to condition of slug
gishness which in the majority of instances need
not exist, is to block ehectually the steady flow
of trade.
Confidence in the essential stability of business
and courage to act from this standpoint are pow
erful aids in ofsetting much apparent lethargy
and stagnation.

mind, have had very little. of it be- |
cause of the dust that comes in |
clouds as each automobile passes.
The road, when the Stag and tar is
on will be a decided improvement, |
but it would have been so appreci- |
ated if it had been done before the |
busy season was here. The rains are !
eagerly awaited as they lay the of

TRIAL Of LEACH
IS CONTINUED

The trial Of Policeman Lyman
L. Leach, Eleventh precinct, was
continued yesterday by the Police
Trial Board after lengthy testi,
mony bearing on an automobile
crash in which he figured and
an alleged false statement.

Leach, on March l, was driving
at a high rate of speed on Penn
sylvania Ave. near Twenty-fifth
st. S. E., and lost control of the
police car, overturning it and suS-
tanning serious injuries.
In his report made from Calm
ger Hospital Leach reported he
was chasing a bootlegger, became
blinded by smoke screen. struck
an obstruction in the road and
overturned.
Five men who we're on a nearby
corner waiting for bus testified
they saw the accident but no
bootlegger or smoke.

of the Traffic Bureau, who was
found guilty Of intoxication and

ENGINE DRIVER
IS RELEASED

Albert Lentz, said to have been
the operator of an automobile
built to represent a locomotive.
advertising the Grand Caverns Of
the Shenandoah at Grottoes, Va,
appeared in Traffic Court yester-
day before Judge Isaac r. Hit on
charges of driving a machine so
constructed as to obstruct the
drivers vision and of driving a
car used solely or principally for
advertising purposes.
Judge Hit took the mans per-
sonal bond not to repeat the Of
fense on the condition that he
take the car out of the city.
Assistant Traffic Director Eldridge
had asked that the car be re-
moved from the streets on the
ground that is was so unique that
it distracted the attention of
other drivers from their own ma
chimes.
The defense declared that the
machine was safe and said that
it was not used solely for ad-
vertising, as it has made any
number of trips to the caverns
carrying hardware and other
articles purchased here.
When the case was first brought
up, Judge Hit inspected the ma
chine at the request of officials
of the traffic bureau. He de-
clared the case to be one Of the
most unique in his experience.

AUTO LIABILITY
I UP NEXT WEEK

The so-called safety RESPONSE
bility" bill for the District, which
would provide automobile acci-
dent insurance or some other
proof of financial responsibility
after one serious accident or con.
Viction of an offense for which
the drivers permit may be re-
voked, will be considered oy the
Senate District Committee again
next week.
Most of yesterdays hearing
was occupied by Senator Robson
OF Kentucky. who questioned
Owen B. Augspurger, chairman
Of the A. A. A. committee on
safety responsibility" at length
on the merits of the bill in It's
present form.
Senator Robson pointed out
that this in effect means com.
pulsory insurance as individuals
will not want to keep that amount
of money tied up.
He expressed himself as dis
satisfied with some points and
asked Senator Capper to hold
further hearing next week when
the director of traffic, the Dis
trict Attorney and the Corpora
tion Counsel will be represented.
Several delegates to the United
States Chamber of Commerce con-
ference on street and highway
safety dropped in to state their
views.
81 Mayer. president of the Au-
tomobile Club of Illinois, attend
ing the chamber conference here,
told the committee that he was
at first opposed to this bill which
provides for insurance after one
serious accident because he con-
sidered it locking the stable
door after the horse has been
stolen"
He added, however, that he
thought it the best that could be
done at this time, but hoped for
universal automobile insurance in
the future.
