STOPPING AITOMOBIUE
KILLINGS.
Detroit, always a progresdve and
attractive city. Is credited with having
found an effective way of reducing
the number of killings by automobiles
drisen by reckless, Incompetent and
unfeeling drivers. The methods is
simple but It Is said to have effected
A reduction of killings by autos from
HO In 1»:0 to 1)4 In 1»I1 snd this
despite the large Increase in the ntypi-
ber of auto* in use in 1921.
Briefly the Detroit remedy Is a Jail
sentence for speeders and strict en
forcement of reasonable traffic regu
I at i cms enacted by the city. When a
speeder Is convicted. Instead of being
released with a nominal fine—such
as one motorist several times con-
victed In a Texas city—described ns
"mere pocket change," he Is sent to
jail. It Is estimated that Detroit by
this treatment of speeders ie saving
an average of thirty lives a month,
j Surely such a saving of human life
i is worth while whether In Detroit or
any other city. At the present rate of
nuio casualties in Detroit the death
toll there his year bids fair to fall be-
low 100 and Detroit is a city of auto-
mobiles.
What Detroit is doing any other city
can do. If the speeders' court will
send guilty drivers to jail, speeding
and reckless driving will be so re-
duced as to save hundreds of lives
and thousands of dollars now lost In
wrecks. Action of the court to that
end will receive the suppott not only
of every pedestrian but of every sane
and reasonable motorist. Jail the
the speeders.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAV
Another fire has swept the roof of
Ihe treasury building where valuable
United States records are housed—
thus affording a second warning to
congress that it Is of no use to lock
the stable door after the horse Is
gtolen. The country needs a fire-
proof building for its important docu-
ments and records.
Senator New of Indiana, rated as
One of President Harding's closest
personal friends, has been defeated
tor the republican nomination for the
United States senate by Hon. Albert
J. Beveridge. Evidently Indiana
voters are not as strong for the pres-
ent administration as some of the G.
O. P. leaders make out. Attorney
General Daugherty had better hurry-
up with that war-time fraud investi-
gation In order to afford something
for republican politicians to talk
about In the coming general elections.
LONDON'S "TINT' l'AI>.
Dyeing thelr'skins in order to pre-
sent an appearance of having swarthy
and olive-colored skins is said to be
the latest fad of fashionable women
in London. Over on this ride of the
Atlantic the women fired with like
ambition find it easier and far more
pleasurable to seek the seashore, bask
In the sunshine and plunge into the
breakers, and there can be little cred-
ence given the report that the English
women have taken up the use of
henna from their American cousins.
There is a probability that Prance
may have furnished this hemut fad
but over here the girls and women
have sought the open air and the ex-
posed beaches to gain the desired
rwarthiness. They also ha\e found
tennis on a sunshiny court conductive
lo impinging an olive tint upon the
eutlcle. But few, it Is asserted with
full confidence in the spirit of th*
American girl, have taken to the bath-
tub, as have their British cousins, and
saturated their hides with henna-Im-
pregnated water to produce an arti-
ficial Unt.
This bathtub process, admittedly is
a concession to the laziness of the
English woman who finds it easier to
Immerse her entire anatomy in a
henna bath than to treat those por-
tions Of the body which usually are
exposed by modern evening gowns.
The treating process takes time, pa-
tience and some measure of art, while
a henna tinctured bath covers the en-
tire body and Imparts the desired
go lor In a single process

Hlgli Fares Kill Travel.
It Is the reported opinion of Henry
Ford that the high railroad freight
rates are the greatest existing draw-
back to business recovery over the
country. But it seems to be a demon-
strated fact that the high passenger
rates are disastrous to the roads from
a revenue standpoint, which can only
mean that they are reducing the vol-
ume of travel In greater proportion.
The New Haven railroad's experi-
ence affords a striking illustration. It
enjoys the most congested and the
richest passenger traffic of all the
great railroads In the country. Its
revenue from passenger service In the
days of low fares used to approach
closely to Its revenue from freight
service. But with fares nearly twice
8^ high as formerly its volume of pas-
senger traffic has fallen off so greatly
as to cut down the gross revenue in
spite of the extraordinary advance In
rates per mile. Whatever improve-
ment there may have been In net rev-
enue the past year Is rather due to re-
duced service and reduced employ-
ment on the road.
Passenger traffic cannot be driven
away without adversely affecting
freight and other traffic, and high
fares cannot be exacted wi'hout direct
and immediate effect in driving away
passenger traffic. But we hear of no
movement among railroad managers
for a reduction of passenger rates
more than for a reduction of freight!
rates.
The most discouraging fact about
the railroad situation is the continued
refusal of the managements to recog-
nize and respect the principle of the
low price for the large return—an at-
titude which could not be adopted bv
business in general without reducing
it to bankruptcy.—New Yoik World.
Me and l*uds Slmklns was wawking
home from skool tawking and argew-
lng, and we started lo have a fearse
argewment about wich is the most In-
telligent, munkeys or dogs, me saying

munkeys, dldent they? If dogs was

have came from them, wouldent they?
They natcherlly picked the most in-
telligent to come from, dldent they?
If munkeys was so darn Intelligent
they'd of bin peeple thelrjelfs lnsted

And we kepp on argewing about
wat dogs could do that munkeys

Wich jest then a hot waffle waggin

"Yes, Kelly," said the Hotel Steno-

"Don't know him," said Andrew.

"Never heard of him In my life,"
replied Andrew. "I just, don't like his
name."
"Well, of all things," exclaimed his
wife.
"It's a fact," affirmed Andrew.
"Don't like the guy's name 'cause It
don't mean anything. When you say
It you had just as well say 'Ofr or
something like that. The noise you
make when you say his name doesn't

"Now take the name of Don Mcln-

"Think of John Jones for a minute.
Does not that name bring to your
mind a home In the suburbs, & fox

"How about G. Allison Prettiman?

It doesn't matter when I reach the

no important errand there; I merely
go to hold a chair in Abner John-

talk und be a bore. It's fifteen miles,
the signboarda teach, from here to
Bungvllle-on-the-Beach, and I might
take an hour, I ween, to hit those
parasangs between. But I step down
upon the gas, and men who see my
lizzie pass throw up astounded hands
and say, "That boob will break his
neck some day." I'm always winging
hens and cows; and faster than the
law allows 1 speed my bus, and make
her roar, to chew the nig at Johnson'a
store. The speed fiends zip through
dust and mire, as though proceeding

made their breathless race and come
to the appointed place, inlo the drug-

selves with ice cold pop. Just ask

his rattling wain, defying all the traf-

haste that causes such a wanton waste
of men and dogs and Berkshire sows,
and geese and ducks and muley cows.
