4en of the Oetroit police departaient? ~ “Our dangers," says the sergeant Jp discussing Detroit's traffic diffitfiilties, "do not come from any Snail group of wild or reckless driv«ars. They come rrom drivers, very largely, who have had years of -Mperience. “Last October, the worst month •we ever had in Detroit from the standpoint of fatal accidents, the -skivers who killed people averaged eight and one-halt years in experience. Only two had been driving less than one year." Fyrrthermore, Sergeant Brown jtoes on to say, the records show that sober drivers are causing 60 times as many accidents as are drqnken drivers! ■ Neither is it the “dumb driver" .who causes most accidents, as his icomrade. Sergeant Radcliff lias disjeoyered. in the latter's opinion Hie drivers who are causing the acuidents today are quite above the average in mentality. • ft all resolves itself down to knowing the traffic law thoroughly, 'which most of us don't know, and obeying it strictly. “Our records show," says Sergeant Brown, “that if the drivers of,Detroit would obey our traffic law at least 90 per cent of the

.accidents would never occur.’’ , And that, it can safely be said, .goes for Decatur and any other city in the United States, for that matter. When the pioneers came into .this land they asked no government. aid. They knew that they must fell the forests and build houses before they could have 'farms and homes. It required initiative, industry and vision to foresee fields of growing grain and comfortable homes where the primeval forests held sway. But strong men .with the love of land born in them did not desitate to tackle the job.

Wolfis, lr*sw ()// Broadway —here and there you catch glimpses of irresistible beauty. You see, against this background of loveliness, many examples of the alluring, fascinating appearance Gouraud’s Oriental Cream renders. When applied, Gouraud’s Oriental Cream becomes part of the skin. It cannot rub off, streak or spot and is so natural appearing its use cannot be detected.

Each did for himself so fur as he was able and asked no odds. Only when the task was too great for one alone was cooperation sought and help then was asked only that , it might be given in turn. When difficulties beset them they solved the .problems themselves. They were self-reliant because they knew that on themselves depended success. Villages grew and became cities in response to conditions that demanded them. Whatever progress was made was due to the efforts of individuals working ; alone or in cooperation with others. Our forefathers had no de- ■ lusions about work. They knew ' that nothing is accomplished without effort. We appear to have gone far from the ideas of the pioneers. Too many people believe that there

are shorter cuts to accomplishment than hard work coupled with good j judgment. This, that and the oth-1 er interest wants the government to do something. It is true that government can give encouragement to industry but the people themselves must act to gain the advantage of whatever inducements are offered. There is an 'element that believes that plenty of money would relieve the situation. Russia has more money than any land on earth, yet the people are starving. Too many people appear to have lost initiative and want help. We

need to return to fundamentals instead of looking to the lawmakers, Americans need look to themselves for accomplishments. We need a return of the initiative of our forefathers who did not know much about appealing to the government when they had troubles but did know a lot about how to ' work. The efforts of Mr. Raskob, democratic national chairman, to have the national committee propound policies for the party does not seem to go over very big. • The New j York Times said editorially: “Mr. Raskob has been beaten once in his attempt to make the national committee the platform committee of the convention. The dictates of common sense and the background of partj’ proceedure should be able to do it again. It now seems clear that the chairman really planned to get a recommendation of the liquor question from the committee.” The New York-World-Tele-gram said, "Raskob and the party l management would be foolish to deny to the dry faction and a talking and a fighting chance.” The Washington Post says the Democrats of the dry states will oppose Raskob's proposition to the last ditch.” It seems rather unfortun-

ate that the national chairman should inject this issue at this time when the party has the best chance it has had to win since j 1912. A very gallant feat of journalism ' was displayed to us this morning in the New York World. Yester- . day that great newspaper was in ,' court over the question of its sale. Its own counsel said and said truly . that the delay and the publicity .; over the matter would hurt the I property. Yet the World today car- , ried a complete account of every i angle and detail of the proceedings. It carried it on the front i page. And the article itself was

written with that crystal conciseness that would have delighted Joseph Pulitzer himself. It is its | doing of such deeds of newspaper’ honesty that makes thousands of | Americans hope that the morning | World is not to die.—New York i Evening Post.

And so we come to the end of another session of the Indiana legislature. There has been much comment about it and there will ', be much more. We admit we do i not know whether the record is

Until then, we can only wait and hope and pray. — ~ Governor Leslie vetoed the old ; age pension law and explained it to the senate when they attempted to pass it over his veto and he seemed to convince about all the republicans, but Mr. Nejdl, who said some very embarrassing things to the governor. o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ <U.R> ♦ I Q.
