Criminal Negligence
Failure To Blow Horn Or To Reduce Speed OF Car

Filed Here Today

The deputy coroner states that
Green paused In the center Of the

Hart was travelling at o rate Of
about 80 miles an hour, the coroner
states.
Hart, according to Mr.. McNiff, is
about 70 years old, and has lost his
right arm at the shoulder. The
coroner further states that Hart did
not see Green until he was within
20 feet, although he had an unob-
structed view Of the highway for at
least 100 feet. Parked cars, how
ever, distracted Harris attention, ac-

Was there any economy Of the

sense OF false shame at owning any

All these extravagances, small as
they are, stem from the same root,
namely the vast disregard In early
times for American resources which
they seemed absolutely inexhausti-
bic.
Now, with some 13o,00O,000 Amer

When one views the positive aban-
don with which our various legis-
lators cast money about, II makes
one wonder whence stems this tradl-
ton OF free spending,
During the course Of research for
my book, "Stars on the Sea-" was
continually impressed and depressed
by the spendthrift qualities so EVIL
dent In O great majority OF our early
American ancestors.
In the light Of American politi-
cal developments today, and with
particular reference to the criticism
which has been directed against our
recent governments for free and
easy spending OF public funds. II Is
interesting TO look back into Ameri-
can history and learn what Ameri-
can governmental and living stand
ards were really like In the Revo-
lutionary days when the foundation
OF American life was being laid.
In those times, thrift was not an
American virtue and Americans both
In their public and private affairs
lived on q scale 80 comparatively ex-
travagant that today's standards
would seem penurious by contrast.
"PINCHPENNY"
AN INSULT
Even visiting Europeans, accus-
toned to high life, were astonished
at the open handed hospitality Of
Americans, at the variety and quail
ity OF foods consumed In this coufl-
try, and by the almost wanton dis
regard for the conservation OF Amer
ica's natural resources. Only In GER
tain regions OF New England was
thrift considered virtue. In the
south, southwest, and In the greater
west which decade by decade was
opened, there could be no worse ac-
cusation than to be called 70 pinch

was by no means O meal Of banquet

To this day In many parts Of the
United States II Is considered q poor

as pyrethrum, is made from dried
