Laws Must
Be Needed
Modern Vehicle Age
Demands Strict
Adherence.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

HUMAN nature hates prohibitions.
IL They are q challenge to personal
pride and power. The human will Is
constituted so that at the slightest
hint of a check it rises to insist, Il
will" Not because there is a good
reason for protest-will Is not allied
to reason-but because will is the
essence of personality, its essential
quality. To continue living, which Is
humanity's strongest urge, there must
be a will to live. So powerful is this
human quality that it wars against
any prohibition, however benevolent.
Yet If we are to live with any degree
of happiness there are certain limi-
tations to personal will that must be
gracefully accepted. These limitations
become prohibitions when society ac-
cepts them as necessary and proceeds
to make them general in practice.
Like it or not, the personality must
bow to the general good, in which its
own good is embodied.
Great wisdom. wisdom beyond Or
dinary, must enlighten those who
make our prohibitions binding. i'm
agine that Moses listed those Ten
Commandments with inner trem-
blings, strong leader though he was.
1t was with a reliance upon the deep
er, more significant power that he set
them down and handed them to the
people, not as his laws, but as Gods
laws. Only from God are We willing,
and then reluctantly, to accept the
limitations set upon our personal lib
critics. Yet these must be set, and we
must accept them.
A person who drives a car should
not drink strong liquors. Yet some
do. They take their own lives in their
hands, and the lives of others, when
they do so. They make the roads un-
safe for the patient, careful drivers
who have to watch for the drunken or
overstimulated driver. 1t is because
such selfish people refuse to accept
the limitations that good sense, good
citizenship impose upon the ma ajority
that prohibitory laws be written and
enforced.
No car should be speeded on the
public highway. No matter how smart
the driver, nor how careful, he drives
with death perched on his shoulder
Were it only his own end that he
threatened it would be sad enough,
but when he threatens the lives and
safety Of many other people he must
either restrain himself or be re-
strained. The speed maniac is max
ing the roads unsafe and is likely to
bring prohibitory laws upon all
drivers.
Cars have come to stay a long while.
We all have to use them. 1t Is not too
much to ask that they be used sanely,
safely, with the controls that common
decency and common sense demand.
Youth is not alone in the reckless,
careless, dangerous use of cars. Older
people set the example too often not
to be held responsible for most of the
| trouble.
We are killing children. young boys
and girls, good men and women upon
the public highway. Perhaps We can
manage to make the roads and streets
safe for those who must use them by
| a campaign of education. If not. then
we have to invite the law to our aid.

UMAN nature pelng no dll-
- ferent today from what it
always has been. and hus-
= u bands and wives being no
harder to stand than they were
formerly, why is it that divorce IS
continually on the increase and mar
riage has become nothing but an ex-
pertinent? If you like it. you keep
on with it. II you don't. you quit.
People have not changed. They
have always been the same types of
men and women. The same sort
of husbands and wives. There have
always been husbands who were good
and kind and tender. There have
always been husbands who were
drunkards, or philanderers, or ne'er-
do-wells, or tyrants or grouches; but
in the past, whether a husband came
up to his wifes ideal or not, she
made the best of her lot and went
on with her marriage.
There have always been good wives
and bad wives. There have always
been wives who were loving and faith
full, loyal and understanding and good
housekeepers, and there have always
been wives who were naeging, shrew-
ish, bossy, extravagant, or who let
themselves get fat and dull; but in
other days. no matter how much q
man regretted his choice, he did not
welch on his bargain. He just charged
1t of to profit and loss and let it
60 at that.
WHY, then, since neither marriage
w nor husbands and wives have
changed for the worse, do moderns
find it so unendurable that they are
SO often willing to wreck their homes
and half-orphan their children in Or
der to escape from it? I think there
are four major reasons for this.
The first Is that marriage is no
longer regarded as binding contract
by the great majority of men and
women. It is an adventure. A leap
in the dark. If you land on your
feet, fine. If you don't, there is al
ways Reno. Nothing is more common
than to hear people say of marriage
well, I'll try anything once"
This lack of security, of perma-
nence, undermines marriage. It keeps
husbands and wives from settling
down to the business Of marriage and
making the best Of the mates they
have chosen. To know that you are
irrevocably tied to one person until
death Is one thing; to know that yor
can trade him or her of for some.
body younger, better-looking and more
alluring whenever you choose Is an
other thing. It is something thai
keeps people restive and seeking ant
feeling that it isn't worthwhile tt
work yourself to death to make
success of a marriage that may no
last after all.
A MOTHER reason why there is n

Asturian Miners Claim
OViedo Points Seized
Bv THOMAS A, LOAYZA

MADRID, Oct. 6 0NSD.
Spain's civil war broke out again
today like a many-fisSured volcano
into series of deadly and destruc-
tive sectional encounters as the
siege of Madrid tightened into
long, grim struggle.
After one of the most devaStat-
ing bombardments that any city
has suffered in this fratricidal war,
the loyalist government announced
today that the ASturian miners
who have besieged Oviedo for
eight weeks had at last succeeded
in entering the northern city and
now hold three separate points
within its gates.
Denied by InSurgent
Gen. Queipo de Llano. inSur-
recto leader, admitted in his daily
broadcast from Seville that 1000
shells and 400 bombs rained on
Oviedo yesterday, after an almost
equally terrific attack Sunday.
He denied. however, that any
part of the city was taken by the
ASturianS, saying, instead. that the
insurrectos counterattacked and
captured large quantities of war
materials with which they will be
enabled to carry on their resis-
tance.
Flaming liquid was sprayed
from the air on the battered city,
General De Llano said, and
armored cars made thrusting at
tacks on Oviedo's outskirts.
Nevertheless, said the general,
"the defenders held their posi-
tionS."
A Madrid announcement also
said the government lines are
holding from El Escorial to
Navalperal, northwest of the CAPT
tai. where rebel attacks have
been repulsed with severe losses
to the enemy"
Railroad Threatened
Dogged fighting, with neither
side gaining any material ad-
vantage, was going on all up and
down the Semicircular Madrid
front from east of Toledo to the
Guadarrama Mountains.
Nationalist" headquarters at
Burgos claimed, without
any confirmation in Madrid-that
the Toledo army was only six miles
from the last rail outlet from the
capital, the Madrid-Alicante line.
The insurgent radio at Corunna
added that loyalist forces were re-
pulsed after an attack on Maqueda.
Occupation of Tozar and Ii
mones in Jaen province was like
wise claimed by the government.

President Roosevelt returned to

far West as Denver and Cheyenne.
Behind him was a rapid tour
of the East which his heutenants
insisted had done much for the

Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
West Virginia.
Ahead of the President was a
swing through territory that has
been represented to him as doubt

we're three States on which Mr..
Roosevelt planned to bear down
heavily in his final-month bid for
retention of the White House as
against Gov. Alfred M. Landon,
the Republican nominee.
Although the Democratic high
command has passed the word
along that President Roosevelt is
a sure winner, the Executive has
receiv' other reports which have
convinced him he should strike Wig
orously into certain States in an
effort to clinch the election.
Some of the Democratic stall
warts are trying to pursuade Mr..
Roosevelt to invade Governor Ian
don's home State of Kansas, max
ing a speech either at Wichita or
Topeka. So far, the President has
refused on the ground it does not
coincide with what he calls the

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt. Oct. 6
- U.NSD.-To this land of Pha-
raohs and fezes, mummies and
moslems, your globe girdling wan
derer flew from Greece today
with each new sight of scenic
majesty and historic beauty
bringing me closer to the goal
of this record-breaking jaunt-
Gotham-on-the-Subway.
From the air this famous me-
tropolis, where the relics of Cleo
patra and Alexander the Great
are said to repose, looks like a
modern industrial city.
But a closeup diSCloSes an
antiquity that all the progress Of
this twentieth century that has
made a 20-day trip around the
world not only possible but prob
able cannot efface.
Women Yelled in Black
In the streets are women
garbed in black with thick wells
hiding all but limpid eastern
eyes. On the sidewalks are bar
bers' chairs, with energetic razor
wielders moving the whiskers of
patient clients under a hot sun
and in full view of paSSerSby.
There are natives in fezeS and
tourists in pith helmets weaving
in motley procession along the
crowded main thoroughfares.
There are ancient buildings with
sharp edges Softened by the rains
and winds of time. There are steps
concaved into pools by footsteps of
centuries.
Near the Pyramids
South of us lie the Pyramids,
Luxor and the city of Memphis
that dates back to a day when
our Tennessee town of similar
name was a primeval wilderness.
From BrindiSi, Italy. this trip
has been a thumbing back into
the pages of history.
We spent half an hour aboard
a yacht in the Cretan harbor of
Mirabellos while our plane was
being refueled. Here was the set
ting for the legend Of King Midas,
but the closest I'll ever get to his
golden touch will be that nugget
Mayor Rossi of San Francisco has
offered to the first of us three
rivals to touch American shores
again.
Watches ThrOng
The Imperial AirwayS plane
landed in Alexandria at 3 p. m.
g a. m. in New York;.
Everyone wanted to rush me
right off to the Hotel Cecil for a
rest, but the streets proved too
great a magnet and 1 spent a long
time watching those BARRIERS and
the beggars and the street vendors
and barefoot children skipping
along the sidewalk in a costume
looking like a nightgown.
The men wear the same sort of
get-up also. I couldn't help think
ing of some of our swanky New
York bars when I saw the gentry
Of Alexandria logged out like a
pajama party at girls boarding
school. sitting at terrace cafes sip
ping drinks.
