WAR STIRS UP HINDUS
TO DEMAND FREEDOM

Last week MIR. and Mrs. John B.
Myers entertained at their home
two world travellers who are now
on their way back to Chicago. These
two interesting people are Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Coulter who have just
returned from the Far East. Mr..
Coulter is employed by the Uni
versal Zonolite Insulation company
in the capacity of sales representa-
tive.
For theN past year and a half he
has been installing plants for his
company in foreign countries. The
first was put in at Sidney, Australia.
Plants were installed in Singapore
and. Rangoon and Calcutta, India.
At the completion of these projects
they intended to go to Paris for
another job but the present war
put an end to those plans.
They spent one day in Japan SO
were not there long enough to see
what the war with China is really
doing to the country proper.
As soon as war was declared they
left India to return to the United
States, Mr.. Coulter said, however,
that all the Englishmen he had oc-
casion to contact are very sure that
America can not stay out of the
present conflict.
Mr.. Coulter stated that the war
is having q tendency to make the
Hlndus much Drawer in demanding
their freedom from the British EN-
pire. They dislike the English very
much and figure that the war in
Europe will keep them pretty busy,
so native uprisings are very COM
mon.
The young couple will make their
permanent home in Chicago from
this time on.
MFR. Myers and Mr.. Coulter were
engaged by the Universal InsuIa-
ton company at approximately the
same time and. are old friends NJ

The real purpose behind" the wage

all activities of the people under

The Georgia Representative, in a
prepared address, further charged
the new law was the nesting place
for Communists and near-Com-

He appeared before a group OF
Southern small businessmen assem-
bled to discuss the wage-hour law
with view to presenting testimony
at textile hearing in Atlanta

THE industry of the South is
faced at this moment with condi-

impossible to continue to operate so

PROVIDENCE, R. T., June IL
The sharp crack Of tire blowout
broke the stiffness of a quiet street
in Providence last Sunday night
sounding the death knell of one
man and the signal for the biggest
"jalopy" cleanup in the history Of
the Nations smallest State.
That bad tire on a 9-year-old au-
tomobile caused it to strike another
machine, careen to the sidewalk
and kill pedestrian, IS minutes
before Providence would have
started its Tooth consecutive day
without a highway fatality.
To this city of $50 0O0-odd per-
sons. recognized nationally as the
safest traffic city in its popula ton
class last year with a record OF
Ill "deathless days that blot on

it was particularly irksome to Pa
trolman Thomas W. Herman, on

CURED. He decided to do some
thing about it.
On his own initiative Patrolman
Herman stopped three "jalopies'
Tuesday and found their brakes
were defective.
He told his superior, Capt. War
rem A. Martin, about those brakes.
Capt. Martin notified the State
registrar Of motor vehicles and
Inspector John j. Egan authorized
the police to remove the registra-
ton plates from the three rattle
traps at once. The drivers were
ordered into court on charges OF
operating cars with defective
brakes.
An hour later Chief of Police John
j. Parker heard of Patrolman Kier-
mans oneman campaign-and
found it good. He ordered all pre-
cincts to take similar action
That first day 365 motorists were
stopped in Providence, IL registra-
ton plates were seized. ga cars were
found with bad tires and IA with de-
fective brakes.
Registration Plates Taken.
Since then, l,708 motorists have
been stopped in Providence alone
Twenty-eight registration plates
have been taken from the cars; 344
cars have been found with bad tires
and 43 with defective brakes.
The owners of cars with bad
brakes were fined from $40 to $50
the amount depending on whether
the brakes were useless of Just
fair" Two drivers. unable to pay
fines, are serving Jail sentences.
Other police departments in the
State took up the campaign and
"jalopy" owners have been sum-
moned to court and fined in several
cities and towns.
In many cases drivers have been
given 48 hours in which to make re-
pairs or face the official wrath of
the motor vehicle registrar.
Chief Parker says he will push
the "anti-jalopy' campaign-and
Providence is hoping for a long
string of "deathless days"

japanese correspondents he had

been made both directly and through
