A Chicago traffic policeman classifies auto drivers who cause wrecks in three groups. His definition follows; “The Sunday driver, tire motorist who can drive but' who is ignorant of traffic rules; the ■ chisler or cheat, who knows regulations, but wants to cheat as much as possible and the 'I gotta drag' kind, the motorist who just doesn't give a damn.” Attacks on J.

Mr. Hoover combatted crime and drove the gangsters to cover, ridding the country of the Dillingers and others of that type.

Philip LaFollette of Wisconsin said here today. “While there are a lot of critics of the new deal, the mass of the people are not going backwards but forward to procrew, ’ Gov. LaFollette declared. “For this reason they have left the old party affiliations and have | become independent. Rather than go hack to the old philosophy even ’the severest critics of the present administration will vote for Mr. 1 Roosevelt.” he said. The governor said third party movements lack the necessary force to become factors in the coming election but he added that ; progressive trends of this nature arc coming, probably In the w ar j future. , He favored Gov. Alt Landon, of • I Kansas, for the Republican presi- : dential nomißation, and discount

PAYROLLS SHOW GOOD INCREASE Employment, Payrolls Show Increase In State In March Bloomington. Ind . Apr. 22. —tU.PJ — Employment and payroll* showed an increase In Indiana during March as compared to the previous month, the Indiana university bureau of business research reported today. The total employment of all firms reporting was 1.5 per cent above February, and pay rolls showed a gain of 6.1 per cent, according to the report. Gains were registered in manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms alike. Activity in the building trades was the central point of Interest, it was reported. The value of building permits issued and the amount of floor space provided for during the first quarter indicated about three times the activity of the comparable period in 1935. "This pick-up is having its effect on employment of building trade workmen and in the demand totbuilding materials.” the report said. “Despite the act that business was somewhat slow in starting the spring upturn, considerable impetus was developed by the end of March. “This accumulating strength throughout the month moved the general business curve up to a jioint above normal, thus recovering the ground lost in the February slump. “The outstanding feature of business improvement was the revival in retail trades. Led by sales of new and used automobiles, which wore between two and three times the February figure, trade in almost every retail line made fairly WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILEWilbwlCalwae!
