" School bus drivers tell us that jfcrely does an automobile stop when JJiey are taking on or leaving of! children passengers. This is a violation fff law and its a law that should be Observed. Dr. Shumaker says he has gained eight pounds since he began taking the tonic which it is said carries s ome twenty-three per cent alcohol. TVe have no objections to him taking 1t but we wonder how he can do it under the laws of Indiana. * The new concrete highway between here and the Ohio state line will cost exactly $108,315.18 with any extras of course that may be allowed. Thats a pretty good improvement and worth having. It will add much to that section which lies tributary to It and will aid this city and county for a century to come If not longer. , ——————— ■ I We are glad that the Legion which sponsored the street fair here came out slightly ahead of the game. Wish it could have resulted in a larger profit than the estimated SIOO but this was the first one and was such a good show that it ought to be easy to secure funds next year and to save some of the expense necessary this .season. Any way boys, you gave the Jolks a fine week. - The Flamingo didn't get far in its -endurance flight, continuing in the -air but seventy-eight hours which is jk long ways off from the pattern set by those St. Louis men. They announce they will try again and at once so all we can do is to wish them better luck. Really when they started this run it was only supposed to be a test. Down in Washington they' are talking seriously again about boosting the price of letter postage to three cents instead of two, claiming this is necessary to make up the deficit caused in the parcel post department. Just as a free tip we suggest that they Increase where the loss is if they don’t want to get so many letters and specials that they will have to increase the department to read them. We have heard many opinions expressed concerning the plan of extending the concession through the center of the street Instead of the old midway formation. Some like it and some don’t. How would it be if next year a side street would be used for the midway and the spaces in front of each store used as display booth tor that business, allowing the center for the parades? Just a suggestion to be thought over. We thought it would come eventually. A New York resident lias filed suit against a neighbor to restrain him from annoying him with a radio loud speaker. Os course ordinarily a man has a right to do what he chooses in his own home. Its his own castle and he is the boss but that’s only so long as he doesn't interefere too much with his neighbors. But what can be done about it? Police officers say there is no law which specifically prevents a. man from putting his loud speaker close to an open window and turning it on full force. The country

Solas appeared in police court here and charged Lotarto with petty theft. will watch with Interest the result of the New York case. Perhaps many motorists do not know It but the laws of Indiana provide that automobiles stop when approaching a school bus from either direction if the bus is taking on or discharging passengers. The law regarding this is the same as that which requires yon to stop your car when a street car or traction car is discharging or taking on passengers. Several drivers of school busses hive reported to us that this law is not being observed in this county and it may be necessary to cause an arrest or two to call it to the attention of the public properly. Such laws are enacted to protect the children, yours as well as the others and every caution should be taken. October 6 to 13 has been set aside as Fire Prevention Week. During that time public and private organizations and authorities will make an effort to instruct citizens in the fundamentals of doing away with our terrible fire waste. In past years the fire rate has always gone down during the week, only to rise again to "normal” immediately after. It is the old case of a lesson going in one ear and out the other. Fire is perhaps the greatest single menace to progress we must face. Every year it destroys property which, in terms of monetary value, would support whole governments, cover the country with paved highways, provide greater educational facilities or do any number of other great services. And on top of this must be placed the still greater destruction in human life. During Fire Prevention Week we will learn of the danger of neglected wiring, carelessly disposed of matches or cigarettes, piles of refuse, poor building construction and so on. But unless our citizens carry the lessons learned through the other 51 weeks of the year nothing will be gained. —, o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. What is the dinner napkin reallyused for? A.
