AIMTDABAD. India. August 27.-
Foreswearing the pleasures of the world,
Miss Nilla Cram Cook, daughter Of the
late George Cram Cook, American poet
and playwright, has Joined Maha ma

of India.
She is the first American to be adj

her father died among the shepherds
of Mt. ParnaSSuS.
For two years Miss Cook, who is only
81, has lived in a convent to prepare
herself for the life of ascetism, sacrifice
and service which she will lead as
member of Gandhi's siSterhood. She
will have as a companion Miss Madeline

way, and passing street cars on the
left, are outlawed in nearly all states,
including Minnesota. Passing street
cars taking or discharging passengers
is also under almost universal ban,
but many, like Minnesota, permit
passing at safety zones.
A signal for left turns is required
almost everywhere. A few places still
require a different signal for right
turn, but most states, like Mime
sofa, specify only one signal, the arm
extended, Tor an adequate mechan-
ical signaD when stopping. starting,
or turning in manner which may af-
feet other vehicles. This means that
a right turn, from the right lane, not
affecting other vehicles, requires no
signal.
The hit-and-run driver who fails to
stop when involved in an accident is
an outlaw everywhere. Every state,
according to data collected by the
American Automobile association, re-
quires the driver, whether the acct
dent involves personal injury or prop
erty damage alone, to give his name
and other information to the occu-
pants of the other car. Some states
require a formal report to the police
in every accident involving personal
injury. Minnesota requires such re-
port only when the persons injured
are incapable of receiving the report.
Minnesota and % other states ban
windshield stickers, except official
permits. Ten states require full stop
for all railroad crossings, and six,
Including Minnesota, require stops at
marked crossings. Law or no law,
it is a good rule to stop at all cross
ings where the view is obscured.
Fifteen states require dimming
lights When meeting cars. The Min
nesota law simply requires that the
beam of light be focused and pointed
downward to illuminate the road and
not dazzle drivers of approaching
cars. Five states ban the use of spot
lights. Most states which permit
their use have a law similar to the
IulC, WHICh
ing the beam to the left of the center
of the road, or more than one hun
dred feet ahead.
The motorist who has complied with
the laws of his own state as regards
registration and drivers license, is
usually safe in other states. Two
states, Colorado and Oregon, require
permit when the car enters the
state, Washington requires a permit
within As hours, Montana within sew
en- days land several states, including
Minnesota, within ten days. Cali
fornia, Kansas, and Maine require all
visitors to have a drivers license.
The greatest variation is in speed
regulations. Fourteen states have dis
carded fixed speed limits, while others
vary from 25 to so. 1t is best, says
the bulletin, to learn the speed laws
in states you wish to visit. The next
best thing is to maintain the speed
of the average vehicle wherever you
happen to be. A"s "-
One rule that is good rule every
where is to Keep your car under
such control that it can always be
stopped in the clear space ahead"

MUST DECENTRALIZE

In a land of plenty with an album
dance of natural resources such as
this country, inventive geniuses, and
a thrifty people there should not be
want and suffering. All kinds of rea-
sons and excuses are given out for
this predicament but the whole thing
in a nut shell is the Capitalization
of wealth. When the few have too
much the many are short, that is as
power and when those of enormous
wealth want to retrench, buy govern
ment securities, and live on interest
they can do so to the detriment of
the masses. There is one good way
of decentralizing this wealth and that
is to make the federal income tax
rates high enough in the upper brack-
cts and to add to the inheritance
tax rates. Just the opposite has been
done by congress since the World
war. A kingdom may be bad or it
may be good, depending on the kind
of man who is king. but financial au-
tocracy is the worst of all. A king
may be sympathetic but money is
different. The privileged group will
not give up their privilege except
through pressure. The writer had the
pleasure of attending a meeting in
Minneapolis Sunday which was ad-
dressed by Howard Y. Williams of
the League for Independent Political
Action, and others, where economic
and political questions were freely
discussed. The meeting is reported in
this weeks issue of the American and
we commend it to the study and
thought of our readers.

we going to trust to the old parties in
1932-those parties that are domi-
mated by industrial forces? We must
sooner or later embark in national

Minnesota. The state cannot produce
goods alone and give jobs. Machine
production tends to place wealth with
in the few. Our inventions have been
great but we have been derelict in
our governmental duties as the foun-
ders laid them down for us. The
government is a reflex of men who
control industry. We lack courage
and leadership. Mr.. Mahoney said
that many business men and profess
sional men are ready for a change.

are doing nothing. There are some
good men within them but they are
mixed up with the wrong crowd: The
aftermath of the Civil war was either

the fight has been going on since with

THE CRIES OF THE INJURED
(Grand Rapids Herald-Review)

(Grand Rapids Herald-Review)
In England there is a general re-
spect for life.
Dumb animals, as well as human
beings are guarded.
Herewith is a letter sent out by the
secretary of an organization interested
in injured animals.
"Sir: However careful a driver
may be, there are occasions when it
is impossible to avoid running over
a dog. To the majority of drivers
this is a terrible calamity. To hear
the cries of pain, to be unable to al
leviate the suffering, are in them
selves enough to spoil days enjoy
ment.
ut may therefore be of interest to
motorists to know that in Bucks, a
county where many accidents of this
ter, to which all injured animals can
be taken. Emergency cases are
taken any time, and the place is open
on Sundays, when so many accidents
occur Already this year 304 animals
have been received and 500 year is
a fair average.

Bucks should pay this Shelter visit,
and if they have not caused any dog
an injury, then drop a coin in the box
as a thanks-offering.

THE AUTO DEALS DEATH

People often talk about aviation
being dangerous now, but when it is
a little older and science perfects
ways and means of making flying ma
chimes more fool proof, then it will
be just as common and as safe for
people to fly as it is for them to go
aUtoing. When motoring is men
toned as safe it makes us wonder
whether it is or not. True enough
in comparison with the number of
autos in use a large majority do not
come to grief at one time but yet,
eventually some mishap or other
comes to almost every motorist wheth-
er it be his fault or the fault of some
one else and the numerous mishaps
causing deaths over the weekend
bring the tragic side of the auto
motive mode of travel to view.
On the pavement north of Moose
Lake two cars ran together Saturday
afternoon fatally injuring one woman
and causing several others to suffer
serious injuries and decorations. A
little farther on it was observed that
two other cars were in the ditch with
a wrecker getting ready to take them
for repairs. Monday afternoon just
south of Moose Lake three more cars
ran headon and this, it is reported,
caused the deaths of four and in
juries to several others. This is only
one place and one short stretch of
road +. in the state of Minnesota and
Minnesota is only one state among 4S
where similar conditions prevail.
1t almost makes one wonder after all
whether or not the pavement is good
for the motoring public or whether it
would be just as well for the road to
be just a trifle more rough so that
the the speed and careless driving
would be brought down to minimum.
In many accidents the one or ones
responsible for them are not the most
injured but caused the accident under
protest for doing the thing which the
passengers told them was dangerous.
Yes pavements and good roads are
alright and necessary but we as an
auto-d driving public must control our
driving accordingly.

in fact not as much. Unemployment
makes for want, misery and starva-
ton. People without income cannot
buy and consequently there is what
is called over-production which effects
all. The speaker advocated a three
billion dollar public works program,
the money to be derived through in
come and inheritance taxes. This
will bring the money back into the
hands of common people and make
for trade and prosperity again.
Mr.. Williams advocated public own
ership of public utilities, stating that
the government in state after state is
controlled by the public utilities
crowd.
Against War.
A new party is also needed for the
elimination of military budgets and
to work sincerely for peace. The
speaker pointed to the ray of hope and
good cheer that came out of the sug-
gestion of a moratorium-the cutting
out of few millions in payments by
the European countries. What would
it not mean if the enormous war ex-
penses were wiped out altogether?
asked the speaker. Twenty-Five per
cent of Frances expenditures are for
war and so it is with other cOun-
tries in lesser or greater degrees.
There must be a change or we will
have slavery or dictatorship, said Mr..
Williams, and concluded his address
with the words: eff ever man loved
his country now is the time to
show it,
The crowd listened throughout Mr..
Williams address with rapt attention.
He is very able orator and cru
sader-a natural leader amongst men.
Following the main address Miss
Johnson also introduced ]. F. Emme
of st. Paul; H. M. Orfield of Minnepo-
lis, and others who spoke briefly.
Mr.. Emme is the new secretary of
the Minnesota Industrial Commission.
Future Plans Discussed.
An informal meeting of progressive
leaders was held in Mayor Anderson's
OlICc Ill Ilc ONChlhS WhOl IhS ASesoA-
bility of a third party in the field in
1892 was further discussed. 1t was
recommended that a national con-
ference be held in January. During
the discussions it was brought out
that while a new third party in indi-
vidual states, such as the Farmer
Labor party in Minnesota, can be and
is a big improvement over the old
parties representing the vested in
terests, it can however not do as
much as is desired by the citizens,
for the biggest problems are national
in scope and it will require a ma
tional upheaval to get at the root OF
the evil-to dig out the cancer.
Therefore any third party in any state
is always in jeopardy, caused to a
great extent by the election of con-
gressmen and senators mostly with
the old party labels.

 It is the first real ship of the line that has sailed the air for the U. s. Navy. The ill-fated Shenandoah and the Los Angeles are not qualified fighting ships.
 The Akron, accepted for service, is Americas first airship to be equally ready for training in time of peace Or for warfare.
