THE MOTOR LIGHT LAW: — i Under the authority of Chapter 215, Acts of 1921. Secretary of State Jack- , Bon has issued rules governing the : lighting equipment of automobiles. ' These rules become effective Decern- 1 ber 18, and since the state has failed for so many years to take proper Bteps to safeguard the highways at ! night, it is probable that the force of ' public opinion will demand strict ' compliance. It is important that mo- 1 torists should be disabused of the 1 Idea, gained through the failure of the 1917 motor light law, that the 6tate can not formulate a set of regu- ' lations possible of enforcement. The 1 1917 law was faulty in several partic- j ulars. It was written in such general , terms that there was a wide differ- . cnee of opinion as to what kind of j lights conformed to the law. The new ; law leaves the question of specifica- i tions to the secretary of state, and he ( has approved the four-point test, c w-hich leaves the motorist little dis- | cretion. a The four-point test is designed to t regulate the intensity and height of 1 the light rays «et a distance of 100 t feet in front of the car. The secretary of state has examined various ; devices designed to conform to the cl

Jaw and approved those which have passed the test. The mere tact, however, that a lens is approved does not mean that its installation brings the motorist within the law. The headlights on each car must be so adjust!od as to deflect the rays upon the | road at the proper distance when the I vehicle “is fully loaded according to ! its use or capacity." The motorist will he responsible for this adjustment and ! for maintenance of the lights in proper order. The object is to keep • lie light below the level of the eyes of drivers and pedestrians, and as | long as this Is done with approved lenses, the motorist need have little fear of police attention. There are provisions for trucks and motorcycles and for rear, spot and I auxiliary lights, but the general purpose of the rules is to require motorists to make proper allowance for the rights of the public. This purpose should by all moans be realized. The menace of the glaring headlight has cost many lives in Indiana. Other states have long since adopted means of restraining thoughtless motorists, and the Indiana regulations are the result of experience in these states. There should, therefore, be little resentment against them. They will contribute so much to the safety Os night driving that motorists should be the first to insist upon strict enforcements. —Indianapolis News. Senator New is taking the position that he should have no opposition in the coming primary, the important reasons assigned being that it has always been customary to give the senator a second whirl whether he had the ability or measured up in, service and the "bosses” are back of him. There is no doubt the Penrose crowd wants him sent back for he ohejs orders but if Beveridge decides he wants to try it. he will pay little attention to this "bunk.” The only thing that is bothering Albert is that ho doesn’t feel sure that this is a republican season. Senator New was in this city Sunday evening just long enough to

jump from an automobile onto a car for Indianapolis. Some of the "boys” had been given the tip the senator was to be here, coming from Decatur to where there was a real railroad and they were on hand to greet him. but those Decatur fellows kept the gentleman in charge until the car was all ready to leave the Bluffton station. Howdy, good-bye, but it was the idea of having seen the king that counts. —Bluffton Banner. Like all other openings of congress we are promised many things, including the old joke that prosperity is just around the corner and that this session is going to force him out. Unless they should show a decided gain in speed, ability and honest desire over that displayed for three years past, the old boy will continue to sulk and the people to suffer. The world hails with joy the announcement of an agreement between England and Ireland, giving the Irish a free state similar to Canada and Australia and many rights for which they have contended centuries. Indi-

cations are that peace will come now and that every one will be happy. We doubt seriously the adaptability of the suggestion in President Haarding’s message that courts should decide the question of wages of men. Compulsary servitude has never proven successful and this at least would have a tinge of that. Three thousand men, most of them armed, succeeded in killing two red fox over in Grant county. Great, but do you feel the odds were even? Looks as though the men were taking too much chance.

LESS RED TAPE Is Urged by Secretary of Interior Fall in Annual Report Given Today HASTEN RECLAMATION Os Arid Lands in West is Plea—Regret Action of Congress Toward Hawaii Washington, Dec. 5 —A strong policy toward hastening the reclamation of arid lands in the west was urged upon President Harding by Secretary of the nlterlor Fall in his annual report today. Large numbers of world war veterans ahd others could secure homesteads on the land thug made fit for cultivation, Fall said. Thousands of unemployed could be put to work under such a program, he added. This can only be done through reclamation projects, he explained as the two hundred million acres of unreserved public lands now left is suitable only for grazing. Startling figures as to the wealth lying dormant in lands owned by the government were disclosed. These will yield in royalties alone twelve billion dollars and the actual value of the oil and coal and other deposits is roughly estimated at $160,000,000,000. Action by congress on reclamation proposals now pending would enable the government to put many unemployed to work. Fall’s report declared. Red tape in the pension and general land offices of the department wa 3 scored. Unless the pension bureau is given more help thousands of civil war veterans will die before their pension claims can be passed on by the government. Fall stated. Red tape in the general land office is holding up titles on homesteads four and five years often because of technical errors made by the government agents themselves, he said. Fall painted a gloomy picture of conditions in Alaska, where the white population has dropped off 10,000 in the last ten years. One evil arises out of the fact that thirtyeight government bureaus and departments deal with Alaskan affairs and Fall urged congress to group all of these activities under one department. He also criticized the long distance method of government which requires that many unimportant matters be referred back to Washington for decisioh entailing tedious delays because of the long time required for communication with Washington by mail. Serious economic conditions in Hawaii because of the adverse turn in the sugar business was reported. Failure of congress to amend the immigration law so that coolier labor could be imported during temporary labor shortages was held responsible in part. The failure of congress to include Hawaii under the benefits bestiwed in the educational aid measures was regretted.

MINNEHAHA GIVES THE HA-HA TO PARIS GOWN AS NO GARB FOR RED-BLOODED INDIAN. There is one maid in the movies to whom a Paris gown means absolutely nothing. That rare individual is none other than Minnehaha, she of the "laughing water” variety. A full-blooded Cheyenne Indian, born on one of the reservations in the United States, when Indians still possessed their native spirit of roving, she joined her parents in their meanderings over the country, following the tribe wherever they went. Finally with them, she joined one of the "wild west” shows, where her chief role was being as she said “just one of the sights.” Later she went to an American school where she learned to speak the English language, that being tjje only thing she learned, for she just "couldn’t get on to the ‘white’ way of walking and dressing.” She still sticks to the Indian custom of wearing moccasins. Minnehaha is one of the characters playing a role in Metro’s “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” by Vincente Blasco Ibanez, which will be seen at the Crystal theatre Wednesday and Thursday, December 14 and 15th. Her part demands that she vary her former way of talking, walking and dressing. She is called upon to wear a modern dress and shoes —very, very first time she ever was forced to wear the clothes of civilization. “I have always worn Indian clothes” she said. “I can’t see these things that the white women.wear thsse days. I.have>to wear, what you call an eveing gown in this picture, and sbqjjf with soles and heels, and the shaft time I had them on they sure put me on the bum. I couldn't get back into my moccasins soon enough. I have to wear this funny dress and hat. I know it looks funny, but it feels just as funny. Im in a Paris case, you know and I have to wear a Paris

dress. I don’t mind the dress, but oh those shoes." Minnehaha claims to be on tho shady side of fifty but she says, "I’m not ashamed of my ago, because I know I look young, even if I haven't any front teeth.” "The Four Horsemen Os the Apocalypse” was sceharioized from the great Ilmne* novel by June Mathis. It Is directed by ltev. Ingrtna, with an allstar cast. ... —»—■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ LAST NIGHT’S RESULTS AT THE UNITED BRETHREN Tho Tuesday evening revival meeting at the U.
