REQUEST TO EASE
PERMIT LAW HIT
Proposal to Raise Speed
Range for Revocation
Is Opposed.

Proposals for raising the range OF
speeds for which automobile permits
now are suspended on conviction of
the drivers, were opposed today by a
special committee of District officials
named some time ago by the Com
missioners to consider the program.
At the same time, the committee
recommended creation of a second
board of review with a view to elimi-
mating congestion of cases before the
- present single board.
Commissioner HaZen at first was
receptive when automobile interests
suggested that the present rules for
suspension were too drastic and
should be substantially changed, but
later swung to the view there was no
good reason for a change in the pres
ent practice.
Value of Rule Cited.
Traffic officials have stated that the
rule for suspension of permits of
drivers who use excessive speed had
operated in the past year to cut the
traffic toll in accidents.
Persons now convicted of speeding
between 35 and 80 miles per hour now
face automatic suspension of their
permits for IS days unless they win
an appeal to the Commissioners.
Those convicted to speeding 40 to
~ miles an hour face suspension of
permits for 80 days. Those convicted
of speeding so miles or more face re-
vocation of permits.
The suggestion was that 35 miles ar
hour was too low a limit for Suspen-
sion in cases Of drivers convicted IF
going that fast in a 30-mile speed
zone, Some wanted the rule changed
so that permits would not be suspend
ed for speeding in a 30-mile speed
Zone unless the driver was convicted
OF going faster than AS miles an hour.
Members of Committee.
The committee consisted of Edward
w. Thomas. assistant corporation
counsel; Henry Nestor, police aide to
Commissioner Hazen, and w. H.
Murphy, secretary of the Board of
Character License Review.
They advised the Commissioners it
would be 'unWise" to raise the range
of speeds for suspension, at this time.
For one reason, they said efficacy of
the rule was reflected by .ast year,
reduction of traffic accidents.
The committee suggested the crea-
ton Of a second board of review so
that the two boards then operating
would meet on alternate days. The
first one would handle only pending
permit appeals, at least until all pend
ing cases were cleared. The second,
consisting of alternates to the regular
board and the secretary of the Charac-
ter License Board, would hear only
new appeals from revocation or sus-
pension orders until it had disposed
of all pending appeals.

TREAT COLD
AS IF YOU mean IT!;
Don't Fool Around with Half-way Measures and
LnUite Serious Complications!

One Of the worst things you can
do is "kid around with a cold.
The so-called common cold"
causes more serious sickness and
more enforced absence from work
than anything else.
It's a mistake to treat a cold
lightly. A cold calls for a cold
treatment and not a "cure-all". A
cold calls for internal treatment,
for a cold is an internal infection.
One Of the best things you can
take for a cold is Groves Laxa-
tive Bromo Quinine. Your own
doctor will tell you that.
First Of all, Bromo Quinine is
cold tablet, made expressly for
the treatment Of colds.
Secondly it is internal medica-
ton and of fourfold effect.
Here's what it does:
First, it opens the bowels, an
advisable step in treating a cold.
Second, it checks the infection in
the system.

Third, it relieves the headaches
and fever.
Fourth, it tones the system and
helps fortify against further attack.
Bromo Quinine tablets now come
sugar-coated as well as plain. The
sugar-coated are exactly the same
as the regular, except that the
tablets are coated with sugar for
palatability.
Play safe in your treatment Of a
cold! The moment you feel the
first symptom, go right to your
druggist for a package Of Groves
Laxative Bromo Quinine. |
Start taking the tablets immedi.

action will usually break up a cold

TRY This WAY TO
QUICKLY Relieve
eczema ITCHING

If your skin is broken out with
"fery' or weeping" eczema, you
want to relieve the intolerable itch-
ing and burning as quickly as pos~
sible. Resinol Ointment does this
and also combats the irritation
caused by eczema-its oily base be-
ing ideal for penetrating the outer
layers of the skin and securing
deeper action.
Wash the affected parts with
warm water and Resinol Soap. II
is especially suited to tender skin
soaps containing too much alkah
may irritate. After washing off
scales and crusts, pat dry with .
soft cloth. Do not rub.
Apply a thin layer Of Resinol
Ointment, letting it remain for sew
eral hours. Apply again literally at
bedtime leaving on all night. The
longer Resinol is in contact with
the skin, the more good it does.
Buy Resinol Soap and Ointment
in any drug store. Sample free.

Famous Authority on Problems
of Love and Marriage
Copyright, 1887, by King Features

MOST of US imagine that with
AVA money we could do what
we please in life.
Love, happiness, achievement
of one sort or another--we lazily
believe that if given a fat in
come, we'd have all these and
more.
But is this true?
A reading Of Mrs. Franklin
Delano RooSevelt's autobiog-
raphy, which she calls This Il
MY Story" and which was pub
lished the other day, throws .
good deal of light on this ques-
ton. And it's a dramatic story
besides, full Of interest for any
young reader.

After you've read it, you may
decide to ask your fairy god
mother for gifts other than mere

Mrs. Roosevelt, as we all know.

may be said of any American.
But this stroke Of fortune
couldn't and didn't prevent her
being a timid, lonely little girl
who suffered from not being
understood, and from being tod
that she would never be a social
success.
She was nu-sed, governessed
and chaperoned within an inch

to wear dresses which were

DESTINY HELPED
Certainly it wasn't money, nor
even belonging to a family as
socially secure as the Roose-
velts.
Perhaps you think that des-
tiny was on her side, and II
may be that destiny helped.
But the real truth is that this
unusual woman created her
own life, in fact, created the
very self that we now See,. and
it's what any of you will have
to do, I suspect. if you seriously
want to emulate her.
Functioning as wife, mother,
grandmother, White House hos
tess, teacher, writer, lecturer,
she may be the busiest woman
on the continent. Today, count
less sympathetic wires connect
her with the industrial, educa-
t,onal and philanthropic life Of
the country.
Perhaps it's having character
that accomplishes all this. Per-
haps it's having plenty of love
in your heart. Perhaps it's
training yourself to an unselfish
use of what talents and en-
ergies you may have. Anyway.
it's something to think about.
