Laws Regulating Motor Drivers

II is announced that the San Antonio Automobile
league is planning a campaign to obtain from the
Texas legislature an adequate driver license law and
a law compelling the automobile owner Ito show fl
nancial responsibility covering accident risks"
Two bills have been prepared. These measures will
be admitted to the Texas Automobile association
convention at Houston for Nov. "a and then passed
on the legislature this winter.
There is a very drastic law in Texas dealing with
motorists driving on a public highway while under the
influence Of red liquor. Two drivers were hauled
before the Court at Colorado. Texas, "out in the
West" The first was given one year in the pen with
sentence suspended by a jury.
II guilty as charged why a suspension Of sentence?
A prominent professional man was found guilty by
2 jury Of driving an automobile while intoxicated and
was assessed a fine OF 500 and costs and 20 days in
jail. 1t was not a merciful jury and there was no
suspension favor extended.
A drunken driver should be punished. They are a
menace to life and property. Jail sentences with
hard labor would teach these yioators Of a very
necessary law that monkeying with the buzz saw is
out of date in this commonwealth. A state drivers
license would help some. Drastic enforcement Of the
act would work wonders.

Millions for the Hoover Dam

Plans for asking bids for 100000 to S~70,0O0,O00
of construction work on the Hoover dam have been
made. On March / the contract will be let and hun
ireds Of idle men, according to Washington advies,
will be given employment. Before the machine age
was ushered in handlers of picks and shovels were
employed on these big jobs. Now huge machines do
the work. Wielders and handlers Of shovels and picks
are out Of the picture. Those who survive the ordeal
of the machine age upheaval found jobs in other
fields Of endeavor. A reminder that this is a new
civilization and in its last analysis it will be superior
to any civilization that time has know. 1t is for
man to adjust himself to new conditions. new sys-
TEN, new methods and the new age.

King of the Underworld Dictates
Terms

Col. scarface AL Capone of Chicago had the
brazen effrontery 70 send one Of his vassals to a high
court Judge as the bearer Of a treaty Of peace. He
was willing to leave Chicago If all charges were dis
missed.
Col. Capone should be put away. If the courts and
their agents are unable to handle the lord of the
underworld then the federal authorities should give
him a smashing blow and the undertaken should do
the rest. He is entitled to a fair trial by a jury but
aot a hand-picked Jury of his own kind Guilt is
personal and if the guilty refuse to flee from the
wraths to come, If they invite humiliation, their in
yitation should be accepted by the friends Of law and
order and liberty and justice.

were either killed or wounded. A
second attack on this lone figure
was opened and broken up, enabling
the American forces to capture an
important objective.
Barley was induced 70 write a
book about all this-"No Hard
Feelings"-and that's how he hap
pened to be in New York.
But there vas a sequel to the
story. there in the studio OF the
famous Christy.
After the war. I found II kind Of
hard to settle down again on the
farm" he related. so I went around
at Jobs until I sort Of settled down
again. Then I took up my farming
and I'm still there. Some years
after the war. a new neighbor set
tied down on a nearby farm. Natur-
ally We got acquainted.
And the funny part Of II was
that he turned out to be a former
Prussian ~officer-and I had fought
against him. We're good friends
now and on winter nights We sit
around and talk about the funny
things that happened. There's no
hard feelings"
Or take this "A few DAYS
ago. a young fellow drifted into the
office bearing under his arm a book
titled. "Undiplomatic Memoirs
There's an interesting story about
the fellow who wrote it.. the visitor
began. His name is William
Franklin Sands. You know there
are two Americans who have prac-
tically run the thrones OF other
lands. Edward Bernays. the big
publicity man, once was counsellor
to the king Of Siam. And Sands
was the personal adviser to the
emperor of Korea. It was back in
the Russian-Japanese war. Sands
was first secretary in the American
embassy at Seoul.
When the war broke. the Korean
emperor didn't know just what 70
do. He called in Sands 10 help him.
And adventure-he had plenty Of il.
He was az the side Of the throne
during the entire fracas. AS YOU
know Korea finally was taken
overland Sands was eventually
deported. In the meantime. he had
adventures such as come to few
men"
And what finally happened 10
him?. ....... What is he doing to-
day?" I asked.
"Oh. he's a professor at George
town University now"

No. I we'll perhaps later" the
girl floundered. She was flushing
painfully. but Evelyn let the subject
rest.
BY 2:30 Celia was out or the
building. II was one Of those sunny
leisurely September afternoons. The
air was cool enough 10 be agree

crispness Of the later fall.
She chose a circuitous route be-

her reflection and Celia discovered
that she had been smiling. Immed-

singing: Barney Shields. Barney.

Mrs. Parsons interrupted.
You've said the very thing l

explanation. But 1t seems to me
there's a better way to be sure.
Celia said she would meet this man

Evelyn pressed his arm lightly
