Have you given a dollar or two towards tlie Red Cross fund for the Louisiana flood sufferers? - * - The south is having one event after ■ another which calls for drastic action. • While the floods are sweeping over • Louisiana and part of Arkansas, a > race riot was staged at Little Rock, , Ark., a negro lynched and dragged ’ through the streets. The militia was called out and the city placed under • the control of the national guard. • Those who were planning to go to • Canada to celebrate the openeing of - the new liquor regulations will have • to postpone their trip until May 34rd, > the date being shoved up a week. The ; province is planning a great day. it > coming just one day before a national , holiday and a supply of hard liquor , and wines is flowing into the country ’ for the thirsty. Although loved on every day of the ■ year, Sunday is Mother's Day. The annual observance of the day affords . the opportunity to pay a special tribute to the lovable and unselfish mothers and in church services and otherwise man will show some outward appreciation to mother. Those who are fortunate enough to,.have " their mothers with them should enjoy • the day to the brim. The Decatur Industrial association will hold another monthly luncheon at the K. of C. hall next Monday night. The meeting will start at 6:15 and the members are urged to attend. President Cal Peterson will I present a few matters for action and a:t out-of-t-.. v.p. speaker has bec-u.L secured to address the membership on ■ civic and community boosting. It will be well worth your while to attend the meeting. The boys of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the public and parochial schools were being entertained today at Bellmont park. The event was in conne lion with the annual observance of boy's week and an out-door program for the entire day was arranged for the boys, including participation in by members :>f the Rotary club. The day was a happy one and the boys enjoyed it thoroughly. Judd Gray who killed the husband of Ruth Snyder by hitting him on the head with a sash weight, is classed as a simpleton, in view of his evidence. He has been able, from the evidence so far given, to establish the fact that Mrs. Snyder desired her husband’s death more than he did and that he acted through love of her. Contrary to custom, it seems that Mrs. Snyder has less sympathy than' usually is shown a woman, when it' comes to associating her with a’ murder ami speculation is rife that she will be found guilty of the horri-j b.u, togothnr with her corset salesman lover. A careful check made by traffic experts in many cities reveals that 82 per cent, of all automobile drivers disobey traffic rules, and in general are regarded as reckless. In short, tjiey arc poor drivers. Only 18 per cent, of all drivers arc regarded as careful and obedient to traffic rules! Traffic rules are known to nearly all automobile drivers, so it is clear that 82 per cent, of drivers willfully break the laws of the road. Eighty-

two per cent, of those who drive cars ' have no care for the rights of others, motorists and pedestrians. There are 1 few motor accidents that are un- ' avoidable. Usually a roadhog is re- ' sponsible. If drivers would use the , same courtesies on the road and ■| streets that they use in the home ■ there would be very few accidents. So long as 82 per cent, of all drivers are careless and refuse to obey I traffic regulations, there is but one thing to do. Police officials must enforce all traffic laws, regardless of who the violator may be. Pißiishmcnt for violations must be sure and ample. Deprive the reckfbss driver of his automobile for a month, a year, or even a much longer period. A potential murderer is deserving of no consideration. Too often when a severe accident occurs and the offender arrested, friends set up the plea that the ordinary peaceful citizen intended no wrong and would readily pay all expenses. And, too often, a weak judge harkens to the plea and turns the criminal loose. Os course, the offender did not start out to commit a crime, but his willful disregard of traffic laws, and his willful disregard of the rights of others at all times existed. It is imperative that every city in the nation enforce all traffic ’ regulations, and speedily and fully, punish every offender. — Huntington, Press.
