If he happens to be talking to q
more attractive girl, however, you
may have to turn to your companion
and say: DO you really think the

After that It's mere matter OF

We finally got our date book full
so we climbed up in the balcony and
sat down and stretched cut our corns
with a sigh of relief. The Spotlight
Review was good, only got more kick
out of watching the folks on the first
floor. With all the lights turned out,
they still kept moving restlessly to
and fro. I finally got the impression
that the autos, with their great
google eyes were human too, and much
more attentive to the program than
the people.
And I saw a man wandering around
with a baby in his arms, and thought
of Baby Lindy-and that terribly
baffled, helpless feeling surged over
me, and I wished there were some
thing I could do Then took to
watching one of the banners suspend

motionless and inactive, and 1 thought
how much the whole Lindbergh stu

Then Gwynfi Jones sang, Rose of

babies, and everything else, and just
sat and ached because couldn't get
hold of those heart-breaking notes
and hang on to them forever. even

ELIMINATE UNFIT BUILDINGS.

Civic improvement and fire preyen-
ton often 60 hand in hand.
Aged and dilapidated buildings, such
as can be seen in most centers of
population, are detrimental to property
values and retard new construction
and they IRE, as we'll, breeders of con-
flagrations.
A number of cities are making eff
forts to do away with these eyesores.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has made
conspicuous progress in this direction.
During 1881 more than 100 broken
down buildings were removed. One
block of "a structures was cleared up,
eliminating, among other fire hazards,
l07 stovepipes which were carried
through holes in unprotected lath and
plaster! New York, Cleveland, Los
Angeles and Chicago are among the
larger cities which have rehabilitated
and improved dangerous sections.
L The benefits to the community from
such action are obvious. The way is
opened for the construction of new
buildings, or for the development of
parks. Property values rise in the
surrounding territory, with resulting
higher tax return to the city treasury.
But, perhaps of greatest Importance,
the chance of fire has been lessened.
7 All individuals and civic organiza-
lions should support movements de-
signed to eliminate unfit buildings. 1t
is easier and cheaper to prevent fire
than to try to put one out after it has
started. And, if there were no ques-
ton of property losses involved, the
potential saving of life that results
from determined civic improvement
campaign would alone make the work
more than worth while.

forgave him for having a name like
Gwyni!
So finally we came home, and near
ly got eaten up by q cavorting pup
that thought we'd deserted her for
ever. And went out to the garage
and looked at Betsy, and examined
her lines, and poked the horn, and
jiggled the speedom.ter (Which doesn't
work. and twisted the dash light
(Which doesn't Light and decided that
even though she Hasn't as many gad-
gets, and hasn't free wheeling-that
is, not what you'll cali authentic free
wheeling and is rather noisy as to
brakes, still she has one advantage
over the new cars-one doesn't feel
cooped up when riding in her. These
new models with their torpedo shaped
bodies, and little windows give one
such a furtive feeling. Maybe that's
the reason for the increase in crime
"a fellow can gumshoe up to place
in big noiseless car, and peer out of
those little windows without the other
fellow being able to see him or hear
him.
Maybe If all the gangsters had cars
like Betsy there'd be an end to crime.
She's certainly open and aboveboard.
One couldn't gumshoe anywhere in
her. No sir, when you're in Betsy you
know you're in her, and further more
everyone else knows you're in her.
They not only can see you in her but
they can hear you in her, and I'm
convinced that If there were more
cars like Betsy there'd be fewer kid
napplngs like Lindy's. So perhaps
after all I've done something to help
in the great problem. But seriously,
do wish that baby were safely back
home.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK?
BY Edison r. Waite

e. y SIS y
That newspaper advertising arouses
the interest Of the public in the ar
ticles or service advertised.
Merchandise or service, well adver-
tised in the newspapers, is pretty well
sold to prospective buyers. So well
sold, in fact, that they will go straight
to the advertiser when in need of ar
ticles or service advertised.
It is a well known fact that news
papers use every precaution in their
power to keep fraudulent advertising
out of their papers. For that reason
the public has more confidence in
newspaper advertising than in any
other form of advertising.
Right now every merchant should
pay particular attention to his ad-
vertising.
Newspaper advertising catches the
eye and brings customers to store;
it causes sales.
Newspaper advertising is a simple
means of getting the seller and buyer
together.

The states with relief problems on
their hands cannot get any additional

EIGHT COMMANDMENTS
FOR AUTOMOBILE PARKING

Parking is one of the most vexatious
municipal problems. On the one hand
there must be regulations to insure q
safe continuous flow of traffic, and
on the other, the rights of business
in each particular district must be
considered.
Maxwell N. Halsey, Traffic Engineer
of the National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters, has evolved
the following table of commandments
on the subject:
l, Thou shalt not park so close to
an intersection as to interfere with the
maximum line of sight permitted by
the fixed obstruction on the corner.
2. Thou shalt not park in double
line at any time or place.
3. Thou shalt not park at an angle
except on streets of sufficient width
to permit two channels in each direc-
ton and only where stalls have been
marked off by lanes.
4. Thou shalt not park where 1t
restricts space available for moving
traffic below that necessary for two
way Simultaneous movement, usually
20 feet.
5. Thou shalt not park on the i'm
proved travelable portion of the high
way in rural districts.
6. Thou shalt not park opposite
street car tracks unless full ten foot
lane is available for moving traffic be-
tween the rail and the parked cars.
z. Thou shalt not park on the
school side of the street adjacent to
the school building.
8. Thou shalt not park adjacent to
hills or curves whenever it reduces the
maximum visibility permitted by the
fixed distractions.
If these commandments are follow
ed; both the safety and usefulness of
our streets will be vastly increased.
