FREQUENT RAINS ELIMINATE DUST ON STATE ROADS Highway Traffic Bulletin Shows. General Improvement of Thoroughfares, While secondary stone and gravel roads usually are extremely dusty this time of the year, recent rains have prevented this annoying condition in many parts of the State, and the secondary mileage generally is in the best condition ever, said John D.Williams, director of the State highway commission, today. A few gravel roads are not in first-class condition, compared with the major portion of the secondary system, because of the 1923 paving program, and the commission is reluctant to spend more money than is necessary, Williams said. The weekly highway bulletin snows detours and condition of State roads radiating from Indianapolis to be: No. 1. (New Albany, Indianapolis. South Bend, Michigan line) —Closed from two miles north of Crothersville to five one-half miles north of Crothersville. CrothersvilleSeymour traffic take Dudleytown detour.

What I Was Doing at 20 — By— Edward Helm, Veteran Police Sergeant

Eighteen to S2O a week was some wage in those days. I was making that much, carving art dies used in embossing postcards, calendars and leather chair seats for the Art Die Embossing Machine Company. At night I carved bronze tablets in the Btudio of Rudolph Schwartz, the sculptor, who did the figures on the Soldiers’ and Sailors' Monument. That Christmas I got married. I couldn’t get away from work until noon and had to rush over to the courthouse to get a license before the clerks’ office closed. Then we hurried to the First Presbyterian Church, then at Ohio and Pennsylvania Sts., but I couldn't tell from the sign where the minister lived. We went to the Plymouth Congregational Church at .Ohio and Meridian Sts., but I couldn’t get a minister located from the sign there, either. Finally, we went to a church at Vermont and Meridian Sts., and there was a sign saying the preacher lived next door. Thinking our troubles were over

I don't know where I can find a nicer place to dine. They serve such fine spups there and such excellent fish. And you remarked last time, Russell, how much you liked the pastry and coffee.

' , ' t Safety First Law isn’t stopping automobile accidents. The books are full of good laws, but no one seems to fear them. Automobilists are driving faster and faster and pedestrians are daily taking more chances. Those who drive are urged to speed to relieve the traffic. And Lord love us, how they speed! More people are stepping across the street in front of rushing cars than evor before and almost every boulevard is a mad street. And the only way this awful thing can be stopped is for everybody to stop his unfeeling nonsense and get back to sanity. It is better to be careful a thousand times than to be injured once .
