PROPOSED BILL
WOULD AFFECT
HIT-RUN PILOTS
Hoosier Motor Club to
Seek State Law,
Stops Says.

A bill compelling garages to make
daily reports to police departments
on repair work done on wrecked
autos is to be presented at the next
General Assembly by the Hoosier
Motor Club, Todd Stops, secretary
manager, announced today.
The bill, designed to curb the hit
run driver, proposes that all wreck
work, including dented tenders and
broken bumpers. be reported. Mr..
Stops said.
"At the present time there is an
ordinance before Indianapolis City
Council which provides that Indian
apolis garages make daily reports
to the police department., but many
garage men feel that a state law
is needed" Mr.. Stops stated.
There is much merit in their
claim that any hit-run driver, know
ing of an ordinance to make garage
men report wrecks, would have his
car fixed outside the city limits
Garage men insist an Indianapolis
ordinance forcing them to report
wrecks would cause them to lose

Bronchial Coughs
Need Creomulsion

A cough. chest cold or bronchial
irritation today may lead to serious
trouble tomorrow. You can relieve
them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medical
discovery that aids nature to soothe
and heal the infected membranes
and to relieve the irritation and
Inflammation as the germ-laden
phlegnl is loosened and expelled.
Medical authorities have for
many years recognized the wonder
full effects of Beechwood Creosote
for treating coughs, chest colds and
bronchial irritations. A chemist
worked out special process of
blending Creosote with other in
gradients so that now in Creomul-
sion you get a real dose of Beech
wood Creosote which is palatable
and can even be taken frequently

thousands Of dollars IN business and
would do no good.
"Oficials t the Hoosier Motor
Club agree with the garage men and
believe that state law is needed to
curb the hit-run driver. OF course,
drivers living near the borders of
the state could have work done in
adjoining states and avoid the law,
but that is a matter that can hot
be helped. Tt is possible that all
A. A. A. clubs will ask for a similar
law in their states, and, if so, the
law may become national in scope"

Proposals by Com mi S sioner
Hazen that Washington motorists
pay one cent more tax on each
gallon Of gasoline to provide
money for relief purposes vert
termed Outrageous and indie
fensible" by the American Auto
mobile Association today.
Car-ownership will become the
symbol Of taxability for general
purposes, resulting in unlimited
tax increases of various kinds. If
the Commissioners proposal be-
comes a District policy, the motor
group contends.
The Federal Aid Act Of 1884
was amended to declare that it
was unfair and unjust to divert
motor tax moneys" according TO

Wheaties Radio
Announcer Uses
Offensive Word

Twin City Negro citizens were
incensed Saturday afternoon when
over the air during the broadcast
of the Olympic try-outs at the
University of Minnesota stadium,
Byrum Sam, announcer for
"Wheaties" and General Mills
product used the offensive epithet
niger" several times. The in
suit was uncalled for because the
star of the track meet was Fritz
Pollard, North Dakota gu" fresh
man, famous son of one of Ameri-
cas- football heroes.
Protests poured into the radio
station, WCCO, over whose station
the insult was broadcast. Accord
ing to studio officials, Saam was
brought here by the General Mills
Corporation from Texas to take
charge of the broadcast activities
of "Wheaties" breakfast food pro-
gram.
Citizens should protest both to
the radio station and to the Cen
eral Mills Corporation requesting
the removal of announcers of
Saam's type, who are so ignorant
or devoid of good taste as to insult
any nationality over the air.
Many citizens who have used the
breakfast food "Wheaties" now
look askance at the product since
their nickels and dimes help pay
the salary of a prejudiced radio
announcer such as Saam.
