Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. How about using Elephant Rock for a traffic light post? Did you stub your toe against a brickbat or pick up an empty pocketbook yesterday? Now that the March lion died in trying to give its final roar, let's go to the spring showers and April flowers.

The bootlegger will have to make some fancy profits to pay the SSO minimum fine imposed by the law. which will make most of them think twice before they engage in the illicit business. The precaution to drive safely seems to fall on deaf ears. All sorts of excuses can be given, but the fact remains that those who drive carefully and look for the signals do not have smash-ups. New York has a man 11U years old, who can dance and read the daily papers. His only ambition is to live to 113. The spark of life still lives in the human heart, no matter how old or to what extent it has been torn in life's .battle. Don't kill the sing birds. Decatur is blessed with thousands of these beautiful, happy little fellows and tlm boy who kills them does not appreciate some of the things in life. Protect the birds, feed them and they'll welcome friends. Floyd Davis, a 22-year-old parachute jumper, fell to his death when his parachute caught on the wing of a glider. He was attempting to outdo the human bat stunt of another flier, always a poor riskin such hazardous endeavors. Man

may fly in a machine, but it's another thing to become a bird. Tim public feels that a signal light should be erected at the Pennsylvania crossing, south of Decatur. Several serious accidents have occurred at this crossing and a flasher light might have prevented one or more of them. In rendering a public service, the rail-

road company could well afford to erect lights at the crossing. The sheriff ot Marion county and his deputies made a county-wide ’ tour early Sunday morning and found every roadhou:-o closed. No I violations were reported in the capita! city over Sunday, except , the sale of four bottles of beer and . alcoholic beverage dealers were re- ; ported us observing the new law. Similar reports come from all parts ! of the state, a good sign in favor ot observance. Everyone should * be acquainted with the law by now i and observance of the closing and 1 sale regulations generally complied [ with. THE TRAFFIC TOLL: The current number ot Collier's has a thought-provoking article on the number of automobile accidents in the United States. Last year broke all records for automobile accidents, with 38.000 people killed and nearly a million injured. The magazine presents statistics compiled by an insurance company which show that “cars are better than drivers.” It declares that "as a group we have not shown that we possess the character or the intelligence to operate safely the marvelous machines put at our disposal." The figures show that the most serious accidents occur where driving conditions are most favorable, that good cars and not dilapidated machines are Involved and that

' sober drivers, not drunken men i and women, are chiefly to blame. The public also should note that nearly half of those killed in motor accidents last year were pedestrians. Collier's points out that the . right of a pedestrian to use of the streets is legally quite as well established as that of the motorist. | “It is, however, not a right to be | stupidly exercised," the article adds. Walking from behind park ed cars, crossing between intersections and walking along rural highways caused a total of 121,350 accidents' and S.OOO deaths last year. The motorist was not responsible for those casualties. Conditions will not improve until strict enforcement compels respect from both motorist and pedestrians.—lndianapolis Star. o—*ST ARS 1 GNA LS * By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny Is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
