Drunk Drivers, A
Menace to Safety

One of the greatest menaces 10
highway safety is the drunken
driver-or to give him a break he
doesn't always deserve-the had
drinking" drivers. The worst
part about these drivers is the fact
that they think they are sober!
"Sure, / can drive" one will say
confidently, why. I've had only a
couple of drinks" Well, he proba-
bly, doesn't know II, but two or
three drinks is enough TO slow
down the mental reactions OF even
the best driver.
Physicians tell us that no driver
whose brain Is logged with alcohol
can think and act efficiently In
traffic. A drivers mind must be
clear and active to handle his
automobile safely. His muscular
reactions must be perfect, too. The
police and courts are making II
tougher every day for the drinking
driver. but many still persist In
taking foolish chances.
TIE Central District Safety Of
hcers Of the Detroit Police Depart
ment issues this timely warning to
all drivers: IF you drink. don't
drive II you drive. don't drink"

against the alarming spread OF
rabies in the community. as fol-
lows:
Residents OF Detroit need TO be
concerned about the menace OF
rabies which exists in this COM
munity and which grows in seri-
business each week. Reports from
all parts Of the country indicate
that the disease is nationwide.
Since January first 2343 persons
have been bitten. IS dogs have been
found rabid. and 500 persons have
been treated at the Pasteur Insti-
tute at Herman Kiefer Hospital.
The increase in the number OF dog
bites has been marked since early
In March. During the per'cl from
January 5ih to March 2nd., so bites
were reported; for the single week
ending May 18th, the number was
227.
A City Ordinance requires that
only vaccinated dogs shall be al
lowed off the premises and then
only on leash. t'nvaccinated dogs
may not leave tho premises. The
ordinance Is designed TO protect
man and dog and is not Intended
as hardship. The hardship comes
when It Is disobeyed and men, and
particularly helpless children, and
dogs contract the disease.
Dog-lovers need to be especially
concerned because the population
OF fine dogs can be decimated in a
short time through the indifference
OF those who keep dogs without
caring much about their welfare.
Rabies is n disease in which In
dividual efforts are relatively
helpless without the full coopera-
ton Of the entire community.
Newspapers are giving their best
to keep the people informed Of this
serious situation. Civic response
bility OF dog-owners will stop
rabies-without It there will be hui
man rabies and deaths.

Arguments For and Against
Granting of Franchise
Heard at Meeting.

The Kalorama Citizens Association
voted last night in favor Of local
suffrage for the District for the first
time in its history. It already is on
record favoring national representa-
tion.
Wilbur S. Finch, president of the
District of Columbia Suffrage Asso-
citation, spoke for the local vote, while
Marvin M. Mclean, president OF the
Brookland Citizens Association, spoke
in opposition. One-third of those
present didn't vote.
Withholding Of the local vote from
Washington residents is based merely
on constitutional Interpretation, Mr..
Finch said. THE right of District
residents to vote for their own Gov-
ernment is as inalienable as their
right to writ of habeas corpus or trial
by jury" he said. II believe the Dis
trict fully capable of governing itself
and that, If it were granted the
apprenticeship of local vote, its
people would prove themselves worthy
Of the rights Of citizenship" he added.

Mr.. Mclean advocated national rep
resentation and opposed local suffrage
on the grounds the former would
give District citisens q means OF put

BILLINGS WATER PLANT
SUPT. PAYS HARDIN VISIT

Supt. Badger Of the Billings
municipal water plant spent Fri.
day in Hardin inspecting the Har-
din city water plant, and that at
ternoon met in special session
with the Hardin city council, ad-
vising a change in chemicals used
in purifying the Hardin water so
as to remove the chlorine taste,
which sometimes is observable.
Under the present system alum
and lime are put in first and the
chlorine last. Supt. Badger advises
II chlorine and ammonia are used
first, 1t would tend to prevent
bacterial growth in the filters.
The day before Supt. Badgers
visit here, Mayor W. A. Ransier
and Supt. s. Robert Young Of the
Hardin water department paid q
visit to the Billings water plant,

engineers In the employ Of the

ton, which holds leases on a
goodly portion Of the Big Horn
river canyon, extending from
shortly above the mouth several
miles south into wyoming, have
been prospecting the bed of the
canyon for gold.
Eight holes have been drilled
to bed rock in the Big Horn river
by the latest machinery method,
and the report of the engineers
to the officers of the company as
to the gold content of the gravel
shows assay values up to So per
cubic yard. The test holes are
being put down during the win
ter months because of the river
being frozen almost solid. Drill
ing through the ice makes pros
pecting easy because there is not
sufficient water to interfere with
the work. Drilling is being rush.
ed so as to cover as much of the
river bottom as possible before
the ice goes out in the spring and
the high water temporarily puts
a stop to operations.

GAS COMPANY TO ADD
TEN MORE GAS WELLS

During the past summer a great
many new services have been
added to the local gas company's
supply lines, and the severe cold
weather of the past few days has
drawn heavily on the supply Of
gas, and this, coupled with diff
culties In the field, caused a
shortage of gas in several parts
of town the first three days OF
this week, when the frigid spell
was at its height, occasionlng
great inconvenience in some in
stances.
When this new drilling CAM
paign Is completed, the local sit
uation as to shortage of gas will
be well taken care of, as these
additional wells should provide
sufficient additional gas to take
care of all consumers for some
time to come. These wells Will
all be drilled in the near vicinity
of the company's present lines
so as to avoid any additional cost
for conveying the gas to the COM
pany;S present system.
