The youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Bell is less than one year of age and his name is Joseph. Yesterday the telephone at the Bell homo rang and on answering the inquirer asked if Joe Bel was there. The party answering the phone replied that he was. To which the man up town said, "well, 'will be down to see him.” “All right" went back the answer. In duo course of time a man rang the bell at the Bell home and on answering the call, Mrs. Bell was pleased to meet Albert Frauhiger, deputy sheriff. Albert asked if Joe was there and was told that lie was. He said "I have a warrant for him.” Just at that particular time Joseph was having one of his loudest crying spells, no doubt brought on by the fact that he was about to be arrested, and Mrs. Bell cited Joseph to the officer with the remark: “There he is: take him.’ Officer smiled one of those sickly things we have all had in the lapse of time, and later found out the Joe Bell he wanted lived in -mother part of the county.

It has been found almost impossible to keep accurate trace of every change in the condition of motor routes from day to day. About the time the sun would come out and the rivers and crocks begin to subside, here would come another cloudburst or ’ series of storms and “jim" file whole information department all over again, according to M. E. Noblet, state man . ager. “Despite the floods and despite file fact that roads and bridges will need I a lot of repairing now, we are hopeful that the spring touring season will I not be much longer delayed,” says Mr Noblet. "We are making our plans to take c; re of a lot of danger spots throughout Indiana with our warning signs this spring. This is a tremendous task and it will not be .possible for us ( mark every such spot, but this do as not alter the fact that danger spots most undoubtedly should bo marked. ‘The proposition is more than a physical one. It is a question of finances. A lot of automobile owners fail to understand that the work of the Hoosier Auto Association through its many branches in Indiana is being done entirely and niose especially for their benefit. These same owners fail to understand that the association's work is made possible solely because of membership suuport. It naturally follows that the more memberships the association has the more work it can do in marking the motor routes and erecting danger sign at hazardous places and death traps throughout the state. These signs are for the good of every traveler and yet the majority of them fail to appreciate these warnings and many never stop to inquire: ‘Who pays?’ "It follows then, logically, that our efforts to mark such danger spots so that the lives of yourself and family may not be imperilled, are hampered by the sloth or negligence of thousands of motor car owners.” “With real spring weather on tap (and with the floodgates closed, at least temporarily) it is.iiojv up to our organization to get busy on road markings. There are several routes previously marked that must be re-mark-I ed this spring, all at heavy expense I We could use thousands of danger] « 11

signs. We are going to go just as strong as our funds allow and hope in the moun time that our friends throughout the state will come to our aid so these membership funds will rapidly increase." > — ■ ALL STATES APPROVE NEW FORD LENS Passes All Road-Illumination and Anti-Glare Laws. A new headlight lens recently perfected by the Ford Motor Company, Detroit, for use on Its cars and trucks has received formal official approval In each of the forty-eight states now having specific regulations and provision for tests. Ford engineers state that the two requirements of any headlight are sufficient road-illumination and lack of glare. To achieve this result, It is necessary to develop a lens which throws a strong light over the road, but which so weakens the rays an a Invol with the eyes of an approaching motorist, that there is an absence of glare. When testing the new Ford lens, even in those states whose headlight laws are the most exacting, it was found that it produced three times the required illumination of the road, and that the glare was reduced to one-half cf that allowed. State officials were impressed with the Ford lens, many stating that it would set a new and higher standard for automobile headlights, and com mending the Ford Company for the progress that had been made. Although they are now included as standard < qnfppment on all Ford cars, the new Ford “H” lenses were so designed that they would be adaptable to all headlamps now in sue on Ford cars.
