can. It Is claimed by tb prticutrr, b sustained under reont decision of th (ruprrme court of the state. The penalty !n Ohto for carelessness la driving an automoLila la a fine of 136, but undtr th rhrc;f of assault and battery the driver may be lined and hcrt to th worhhoune for six months. A reckless driver might not be cured by fining lit in the maximum for rareieesnera, but It would be quite another matter If he should be nt to the workhousa. The large number of pedestralns and drivers of automobiles Injured by reck lets auHmoltli?t3 make !t dealrable that something, be done to curb the care-lt-sanes that 1b thown by many persons In the use of high-powered vehicles. If th Ohio prosecutor In able to sustain tils charges in court, he should be able to create a wholcmmie regard for the practice of care In the operation of automobiles. Drivers who are careful are in Just as much danger as pedestrians, and it Is to their Interest that th careless ones be restrained.

JOURNEYS TOR WINTER. It would he nice to apeud the winter at Palm Beach cr in EUrmula, wouldn't it? Or to ride In a caravan of camels west of Alexander and come upon the Sphinx and the pyramid of Ptolemy. Or to visit Ahnam or Java ia a squat sampan, or walk tho streets of Allahabad at the mola, the great fair of India. Yes, it would be nice. There aro at r?a?t several score of our feilorv townspeople who will tafce not one, but all these Journeys thl3 witter. You hadn't heard? Why, yes, a rich young man has been to the schools and promised to take the brightest of our children voyaging in quest of high advntjre whithersoever they would go. No many will be allowed to take parents cr guardians along t'or the rich young man is Imagination, and the youngsters will follow him through the comraonplace medium of the geography class. We who usd to know only that Illinois was yellow and Pennsylvania green, whose learning waa 8umro.4 up In tho little singsong that started: "State of Maine. Augusta, on the Kennebec river," we saw too little of cur children's friend. Imagination. Geographies are written with bis aid these modern times. Pick one up sometime. The pupil of today baa no n"d to hide a copy of "The Jaiu-s Urotbers fit St. Joseph.'' or "Old and Young King Brady" behind bis "joggerfy." It 5s mightily near as interesting as ttoso excellent literary wcks ever were. And tho alluring pert about the travel pictures that it paints i3 that they're true.

"MAKE IT SNAPPY." There are these who believe modern mn does things more quickly than his forefathers; that he hustles to the point of action and g?ts done what be baa to do; that he "makes it snappy." This is not handing our ancestors a fair deal. While it is true that we move faster from ono place t" another than great-grandfather moved we do not think faster, talk faster, nor work faster. We tako as much time to Bay our say. and we do. If anything, pay it in more words. We don't, for instance, mako it as tnappy ss Caesar, when he foame. saw and conquered." The old railroader was "off a'gin. end gone .ig'ia" in fewer words than t'ae modern reporter tells his story of a railroad wreck. Just now the English speaking world is deluged with words telling how. 300 years ago, the Pilgrim fathers came to Plymouth. Hut on that December day Mourts Journal told the whole story of the finding the fcarbor, tho exploration of the nearby land, and the decision to make it their permanent home in 35 words. We travel from Plymouth. England, to Plymouth. Maes., much faster than the Pilgrims did it, but we. 03 the other hand, waate more words telling about it.

CURBING RECKLESS DRIVERS. The prosecuting attorney of a county In Ohio has filed cbargos of assault and battery against the driver of an automobile whose machine struck and Injured two persons. The claim ia made that the driver did not take ordinary care to avoid tho aocider,-.. The charge of assault and bat try. resulting from Mtting a person with an automobile instead of a club. . i .I- i ii i i

The Passing Show

TEE ABUSED BACHELOR. Who is it that always dellgiiLB the mothers by chucking their youngster under the chin, and who never falls to have Borne peppermints in his pockets? Why. the bachelor friend of the family, of course. Yet ycu never hear his pralsea sung. There is a Mother's Day, and a Father' Day, hut there Is no day lor unwed uncles, natural or acquired.

Every bachelor is a potential uncle to every kid. '

Every bachelor responds wheu Johnny trota out his shiny new pig bank. When Daddy can't End a penny for sister, the old bach who happens to be ther aticks hia hand in hia pocket, remarks that he believes he has a little chicken feed, and presents Sis with a big i-lckel invariably. Married folk are entirely too fond of running down the bachelor. Maybe the poor fellow does occasionally r.eed a button, and perhaps he's not Just as careful 3 his frienda' wives think he should be. Hut goodness knows we all have faults. If you think a man never amount to anything until he gets married. Just consider some of the notable bachelors of history. Mchel Angelo, the artist, was unmarried, an waa Voltaire, the philosopher. Then there were Rafael. Chopin, Heefhoven, Charles Lamb. Pope. Hecry James and Swinburne. Add Petarch, Kitchener, Cecil Rhodes and President Puchanan to the list, and you'll agree that the bachelors hae a little Hall of Farao all their own.

CLARA HAS THffl'l ALL

OUR DISAPPEARING- FORESTS. A recent announcement by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company that it must 6eek a foreign supply of cross ties to support Us many miles of steel rails is but another indication t f the passing of the great American forests. This cue tailway require- tl.Ot'O.ooo ties annually for its roadbeds. White onk, from whtoh the best tics are cut, is becoming scarcer every var. and other woods are not suitable. So the Pennsylvania railroad win beek a new supply of cross ties, either In Central or South America, aad this brings us once ai;aln to a realization that our own forests, once the greatest in the world, ate fast disappearing under the ever-incresbiog demand or cur growing industries. During the war this situation was brought to our attention more thao once, when certain woods were needed for carrying out our shipbuilding and airplane construction programs. The Pennsylvania ia only one of the great railroad systems which bring our states Into one great union. There are approximately 230,KH miles of railroad In the United States. In every one of these miles about o.St'O cress ties are neded. The vat forests of North America are gradually being used up end efforts o tar made to replant them have been on too small a bcale to be wort!i-wtil!e e-.iept as an Indication of what can be done ihrcu?h a national reforestation program tarried into effect on a huge scale by the federal and state governments
