RUB-A-DUB DUBS IN 2O-SECOND TUB

The upset not only delayed the
Marquart bout, but it also threw
a monkey wrench into another op-
portunity. Billy Mitchell the Mil
waukee promoter, was down to
offer Dubs the seminal spot on
the Phil Zwick-Pete Scalzo battle
for the worlds featherweight
crown there May 10.
They rewrote the boxing law in
Wisconsin to lengthen the distance
from 10 to Is rounds, the cham
pionship distance. TO get this fight.
1t would have been a great spot
for the Windsor bcv 10 show, but
he won't get the chance now.
incidentally, Dubs weighed 140
pounds the day of the weigh-in,
two pounds more than the contract
called for, and he had TO do some
tall work TO meet the limit. It's
probable that he IT be fighting as
a junior welterweight from now on.

JEWS THROUGHOUT WORLD
OBSERVE ROSH HASHANAH

The observance of Rosh Hashanah,
the Jewish religious new year started
last Sunday, September 81, at six
o'clock, P. M, and was marked by in
trospection and prayer.
Worshippers gathered in synagog-
ues throughout the world early in the
evening for services inaugurating
their year 57O2. Those who follow
the orthodox tradition observed two
days, Monday and Tuesday, Septem-
Der % and %, while liberal congre-
cations observe only the first day.
Rosh Hashanah, which literally
means "the beginning of the year,"
is the first of the ten days of Pen
then, most important religious season
in the Jewish calendar. The period
will be brought to close with Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Oc-

cense number. Of course, good way
to do this is to show your drivers
license, which gives all the informa-
ton necessary under the law. How
ever, take a case of charges being
made because n man refused to actu-
ally show his license to the other
driver, although he had it in his
hand and held it up, and had given his
name and address, but in his excite
ment, did not give him the number
of the Operators card. This man
was charged with Failing to identify
himself, which he could not under
stand. However, any Police Officer
can demand to see the license.

MOTORISTS WARNED
TO STOP AFTER
AN ACCIDENT

Persons convicted of Operating I'M
der the Influence of Liquor, Failing
to stop, or Identify himself, after an
Accident, and any Motor Vehicle Vio-
lation in connection with fatal ac-
cident, do not know that they are au-
tomatically subject to the FlNAN-
CIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT, and a
revocation of their license. They con-
tend had they known, they would
have appealed the Magistrates de-
cision. Others who forfeited the col
lateral, rather than return for trial,
would have STOOD trial, but were
under the impression that paying the
fine was the end of the matter, and in
some cases were told so. In serious
cases, it is only fair that motorists
be advised of the consequences of
such convictions. This Department re-
ceives numerous complaints after
convictions on Failing to Stop, or
Identify, after an accident. Many of
these cases are merely technical, and
the defendants do not realize the
seriousness or consequences until they
hear from this office which is then
too late to file an appeal. In number
of cases, a fender has been slightly
scratched, or dented, and both drivers,
thinking little or no damage has been
done, drive on. Later on, one will
find he has a scratch or dent, and
will swear out a warrant for the 9TH
er's arrest-and on a TECHNICALI-
TY, he is found guilty. Sometimes,
both drivers stop, engage in an ar
gument, and then drive off without
EITHER giving his name or address.
Later on, one or the other becomes in
censed and swears out warrant for
the others arrest, charging him with
Failing to identify himself. In both
of the above instances, one is as gull
ty as the other, and if the person
charged with such an offense, would
in like manner, charge the other
or BOTH would drop the charg-
es-or be dismissed by the Judge.
Often, a driver has left the scene
of the accident, after duly stopping,
in an effort to find or telephone an
officer, and upon returning find that
everyone has left the scene, but later
on a warrant is served him for Fail
ing to identify himself.
A charge of this type, even though
on a technicality, puts the driver in
the same class as the man who would
injure q person and deliberately
leave him lying In the highway with
out assistance. The record against
him In this office is the same, and
the consequences are the same, name
ly, a revocation Of his license, and be-
ing subject to the Financial Response
bility Act, which requires him to file
a certificate of compulsory insurance
with this Department for period OF
three years, even though he does not
apply for reinstatement for five OF
ten years hence.
To identify ones self means to
give name, address and drivers Ii.

You remember that Blacky the
Grow led poor Bowser to an old road
and there left him. Blacky rea-
soned that If Bowser had any sense
at all he would know that road must
lead somewhere and would follow it.
If he didn't have sense enough to
do this he deserved to starve and
freeze, was the way Blacky rea-
soned 1t out. OF course, Blacky knew
exactly where that road would lead
him.
Now Bowser did have sense. OF
course, he did. The minute he found
that road a great load was taken
from his mind. He no longer felt
wholly lost. He was certain that
all he had to do was to keep in that
road and sooner or later he would
come to house. The thing that
worried him most was whether or
not he would have strength enough
to keep going until he reached that
house. You remember that he was
weak from lack of food, lame and
half frozen.
Poor old Bowser. He certainly
was the picture Of misery as he
limped along the road. His tail
hung down as If he hadn't strength
enough to hold 1t up. His head also
hung low. He walked on three legs
and limped with one of these. In
his eyes was such look of pain and
suffering as would have touched the
heardest heart. He whined and
whimpered as he nmped along.
1t seemed to him that he had gone
a terribly long distance, though
really it was not far at all, when
something tickled his nose, that
wonderful nose which can small the
tracks Of others long after they have
passed. But this time it wasn't the
smell of a track that tickled his
nose; it was something in the air.
Bowser lifted his head and shifted
long and hard What he smelled
was smoke. He knew what that
meant. Somewhere not very far
ahead of him was house.
With new hope and courage Bow
ser tried to hurry on. Presently
around turn of the road he saw
farmyard. The smell of the smoke
from the chimney of the farmhouse
was stronger now. and with 1t was
mingled such an appetizing smell
of things cooking. Into Bowser's
whimper there now crept a little
note of eagerness as he dragged
himself across the farmyard and up
to the back door. There his stdength
quite left him. He didn't have
enough left even to bark. All he
could do was whine. After what
seemed long, long time, the door
opened and motherly woman stood
looking down at him. Two minutes
later Bowser was on a mat close by
the kitchen stove.
