NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FOR AUTOISTS

"Along about this time of the rear most folk begin looking back ward over the dying year, casting up the accounts with Old Man Time. and looking forward into the New Year with more or less optimism. accompanied by resolutions to get

and be "better, day by day in every way" as the modern psychoanalytical sharks put it," declares A. G. Lupton, president of the Hoosier State Auto Association, in a statement just issued. "There is no class of people who have more accumulated sins to their credit or discredit than the average automobile driver, continued Mr. Lupton, "All year we have been preaching safety and courtesy and this 'drive-with-sense' stuff through the column of the state newspapers, and yet the year 1922 has witnessed more accidents, more fatalities due to the careless or reckless misure of the automobile than in several years past.

'Therefore, it behooves every operator of a motor vehicle to turn over a new leaf and paste that leaf down. Our organization, composed of public spirited and right-thinking motor car owners all over Indiana, has been waging a vigorous fight for safety on the streets and highways and doing all in our power to make the public see that speed must give way to caution and hoggishness give way to courtesy in short, the good old Golden Rule may well paraphrased into 'Drive as you would that every other driver should drive'. That, after all, is the best law for motorists and the sooner our good people in Indiana adopt this right down in their hearts and minds and begin to practice it, the sooner will Indiana stand forth, as a real

safety-first state." Mr. Lupton declares the work of the Hoosier Association has met with splendid responses all over Indiana as the motorists begin to realize that such work cannot be accomplished ed if everyone stands back and waits lor "George" to do it. "We have a heavy program of 1923, the first big effort being with legislative matters which will affect every owner of any kind of a motor vehicle. "We hope to be strong enough to accomplish much good and prevent much that may be bad for all owners," he states. "The fact should now sink in that it is only by close co-operation and active membership support that our organization can expect to accomplish for all owners the things they can not well accomplish for themselves." In looking toward 1923, Mr. Lupton issues the following resolutions which he urges every motorist to study, commit to memory and then "paste them in your hat so you can have them for ready reference." I RESOLVE. To drive carefully. To obey the speed laws. To keep to the right newer to "hog" more than my share of the road. To pass to the left (always) when overtaking another vehicle going in the same direction. Never to pass (overtake) another vehicle while at a street intersection or on a curve. Never to leave my car standing in a position that will obstruct the highway. To keep to the right of the center of a street or road intersection when turning to the left, making a square turn and never cutting sharp to the left. To keep to the right of the center of a street intersection when turning to the right. "When reaching an intersection at the same time as another vehicle, to

give the vehicle coming from my

right the right of way. Never to try to beat a train, a trolly car or "the other fellow" to a crossing. Never to pass a standing street car, interurban car or school hack when same is taking on or discharg-

ing passengers. To have my car under complete control when driving in the vicinity of children at play, or in the neighborhood of school or play grounds. To inspect my brakes frequently and to keep them adjusted. To inspect my headlights by the

process of leaving my car on a level

road, walking away 500 or 800 feet and looking back at them to see if

they present a dazzling light- and

If they do to have them adjusted so

the light beam will comply with the Indiana regulations. To equip my car with a mirror

so that I may see traffic in the rear

and never to turn or stop without first glancing into that mirror. To keep my windshield clean and to put on some kind of a squeegee that will give me vision in case of rain or snow. Never to drive with only one front light burning if I can possibly avoid it. Never to drive my car after having violated the Volstead act no matter how slightly. To use arm signals to show my intention of stopping or turning left arm straight up for right turn.

left arm straight outward for left turn and left arm moved up and

down for stop. In case I am driving an enclosed car I pledge myself always to put my right arm so the driver in the rear my see it and know I am intending to slow or turn this in case I can not readily open the window. To drive cautiously at all "blind" intersections in city or country and to observe the rule that if I can not see what's around the corner to take no chances. To quit putting it off longer and to get in and affiliate in the one way that counts, with the Hoosier organization that is working solely

for Hoosier automobile owners and

not for profit. To equip my car with tire chains and to use them when there is a coating of ice, sleet or snow on the streets of any city or on hard surfaced highways particularly, in the interests of the safety of myself and my own car, as well as the safety of others. "What a near-millennium there would be if all of the 400,000 automobile owners in Indiana would follow at least a good part of these resolutions," remarked Mr. Lupton, in conclusion. "Anyway, here you have it. Don't say we didn't try to set you on the right path for 1923, which, I trust, will indeed be happy and prosperous for every one of you."

by DOROTHY HUSKE. [STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE] CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec Adoption of efficient, business-like methods in the courts and a more active and general interest in their functioning are seen by Judge Florence E. Allen as the means to speed up

justice and do away with the law's

delays. Miss Allen is the first woman in the world to be elected to a court of last resort, at least since the day long past when Portia apportioned even-handed justice to the high, the middle and the low. In attaining her new position she continues her precedent-breaking record. The Cleveland woman has been "first" in so many things that blazing new paths has become to her merely routine. She was:

1. The first woman to act full-fledged prosecutor in the

mon pleas courts of Ohio. 2. The first woman to practice before any department in Washington. 3. The first woman to be elected a common pleas judge in the United States, and, as such, 4. The first woman to sentence a convicted murderer to the electric chair. 5. And last, the first woman to be elected to a court of last resort

the Ohio supreme court which position she will take on Jan. 1.

In securing her last election. Miss Allen defeated the sitting Judge Judge Benson W. Hough, of Delaware, who commanded one of the regiments of the Rainbow Division overseas, and as such was an idol of the state's service men and a strong candidate of the democratic party. She will continue her service on the common pleas bench until the end of the year and then go down to Columbus, there to take her place with siv men "learned in the law" and pass final judgment upon the work of other courts and the state's law-making body. Until that time comes work goes on as usual for the Judge. Arriving at her office in the dingy old courtroom, where she tried her first case, the morning routine is interrupted by a score or more of men and women who are waiting to offer their congratulations. A soft-voiced, pleasant-mannered woman of medium height and proportions, with light brown hair, combed simply and becomingly of her ears, and a -wholesale ruddy complexion, wearing a black canton crepe dress made on straight

lines, trimmed with a white filet collar, with her gray eyes looking through judicial spectacles that is a fairly accurate picture of the new judge. War should be outlawed, just as murder is, she believes and voices her view with emphasis. "Certainly war should be outlawed!" she said. "Whether by calling a conference of all the great nations or by mutual agreement among the great powers, this is the next great step forward in world politics. America. I believe, will have to take time. It was centuries after the first 'thou shalt not kill!" was enun-

ciated before the present criminal code was evolved and methods of enforcement worked out, but murder

is no longer legally tolerate, and it is just as certain that war, too, will be outlawed. "Of course." and the Judge smiled, "this is not part of my 'job.' I expect to be quite busy with my own affairs, as I have been in my present office." Judge Allen thinks women Jurors all right. "Women jurors, as a rule, feel their duty keenly and are less given to casual Judgments than men," she said. "However, the ideal jury is one composed of an equal number of men and women. "I hope also to see more women well trained and capable, taking their places in public offices," she added, "but not because they are women, but because tbey are qualified." The newly honored Jurist, has three hobbies walking, music and poetry.

She ordinarily walks to the courthouse from her home every day, a

of five miles and in her

distance of five miles and in her girlhood she for a long time con-

templated a musical career. She is also a Judge of good poetry and

has herself written a number of

poems which have received high praise from the critics. Her platform, in the late campaign, which resulted in triumph, advocated, among other objects, law enforcement, business methods applied to the courts and respect for law, order and the courts. Cotton Picker Hadn't Divorced First Wife; Planned to Wed Again [INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE] AKRON, O., Dec. 30. A cotton picker from Georgia, who did not give his name, visited the marriage bureau here recently. He said he wanted to "get prepared" to marry

his sweetheart, who was on her way from Georgia for that purpose. Asked if he had been married, he admitted he had. William Woodbridge, marriage clerk, wanted to know how long his first wife had been dead. "Lawse, man, she hain't daid," said the negro. "Wo ust been pahted for the las' nine years. She don't want nothln' to do with me and the feelin's ust nachally mutual. So Ah aims to take Melindy for ma wife when the gets here." The stranger grew almost pale when informed he was jugging himself for a trip to the penitentiary by having too many wives.

BUTLER TO BE SWORN IN TUESDAY [INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE] WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 Pierce Butler, new associate Justice of the United States Supreme court will take his place on the bench next Tuesday when the court reconvene after the holidays. Justice Butler arrived here today with his wife and a daughter from his home in St. Paul, Minn. With Associate Justice Butler on the bench the court will have one vacant chair. Associate Justice Pitney, New Jersey, has retired from the bench because of ill health.
