CLEAR VISION URGED

Cut Brush, Trim Trees and Bemove ~ 'Other ‘Hazards Plea of John : J. Brown

The season is here when road intersections are obstructed by hedge fencs and growing crops, preventing clear vision and causing numerous accidents on state highways. ; :

It is important in the interests ot human life and property highway officlals said, that brush be cut, trees trimmed and other obstructions removed at intersections in order to reduce traffic hazards. Jobn J. Brown director of the state road department exhibited geveral letters from farmers who have written him to say they had cut out a few rows of corn which obstructed motor‘ists view on roads in their specific Jocality. Highway officials expressed the hope that otrerg would follow this splendid example. Again some farmers are careful to plant only low-growing crops in corners at road intersections or on sharp ‘curves, and this proceedure has greatly facilitated efforts of the department to make the roads safer for the high speeq traffic of this age, _ _ Tall corn at this time of the yeay constitutes probably the greatest single hazard, Hedges should be trimmed to a maximum height of five ' feet above the center of the road and at least 100 feet back in either direction from the road intersection. As apblied to hedge fences, this is written in the law, officials point out, and plac ed on the statutes with the hope of eliminating “blind” corners. “The Miracle Man” Film Daily the well-known maga~ zine for the motion picture trade; in its poll of the newspapers in 1932 managed to assemble g symposium ot opiniong from a total of 340 of the nation’s critics. |

That's a big number, but, believe it or: not, as the interesting Mr. Robert Ripley would say, the greatest number of “hard-boiled critics” to give & concerted opinion of a moving picture was a group of 1,200 men sitting in judgment on “The Miracle Man™ in 1919! R T

And, believe it or not the assemblage sat, in place of places, Sing Sing Prison, New York state’s famous penal institution. A reporter who questioned the consensus to be that “The Miracle Man” was the best picture they had ever seen. This picture upon whose succes was founded the world-prestige of three heretofore little-known personalities— Thomas Meighon, Betty Compson and Lon Chaney—comes to the Crystal Theatre on Sunday for three days in its talkie form, with Chester Morris, Sylvia Sidney and John Wray playing the parts which brought immortal fame to thier predecessors. The judgment of those 1,200 convicts, rendered 13 years ago can be allocated in all fairness to the talkie version, for in its essence the newer film contains the same basic theme which got to the hearts of those hardboiled men and stirred them as woth. ing in celluloid had ever stirred them before. ‘The Miracle Man” in talkie form is modernized 1n 16¢ations in dialog and in directorial technique but the story, wisely is unchanged. For it is a story that brooks no meddling with the fundamenal elements. Couched in termg of heart-melting hunanity ~—it remains that way—just as story of “Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” must always remain in its essentials, the same. Pl ek e

Druggists Await Action

' Idgonier Qruggists in all probability will adq liquor to their stocks of merchandise should the state legisdature and Governor Leslie cooperate to such an extent that the Wright bone dry law is repealed this special ~session. The repeal bill provides that brandy, wine and medicinal whisky may be obtained on physician pres. cription from drug stores in the state, The drug stores will have to purchase a liquor license to legalize ‘their handling of the intoxicants, will have to pay $6 to the county auditor for a fee of some sort, and ‘will have to pay a tax of 50 cents per pint ‘to the state. It is understood that there is pelnty of medicinal liquor -awalting the action of the Indiana legislature before flooding itself into Hoosier drug stores,

Dog Lore Has - Many Proverbs Man's immemorial association with dogs is reflected in thougands of proverbs, representing every nation and dating back to, earliest recorded times, states the Chappel Kennel Foundation, Rockford, Illinois. - o - Italy has produced some of the most picturesque, many of them in common use today. For example: 'No dog is'sosad that he cannot wag his tail, - When an old dog barks, look out of the window. Dogs and children know who like them, A dog is more grateful to the one who keeps him than man is to God. Closely allied to the Italian proverbs are those of France. In fact, many are commonly heard.in both countries. The following unmistakably bear the Gallic stamp: : 5 Love me,-love my dog. " Two dogs at a bone do not agree. . A bad dog never lacks a comrade in the kitchen. o As close as St. Roche and his dog. As might be expected, a search further back into the past reveals some clever profundities originating in the Latin tongue: : . Beware of a silent dog and. of still - water. ; \ : The dog is worthy of his keep. A timid dog barks fiercer than he ~bites. :

Most modern breeds of dogs, especially those known in America, originated in England. There are many references to dogs in the English proverbial literature: * Better the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. 10 ~ Women and dogs set men together by the ears. : Dog does not eat dog. Back in Bible times, the Hebrews had their own sayings in reference to dogs, which they used extensively to guard their flocks and herds: ‘A good whelp will not come of a bad dog. fos - Dogs never go into mourning when a horse is killed. b Dogs bark as they are bred. ~ Perhaps nations of the past gave their dogs less care than we do today, the Chappel Foundatjon says, letting them forage for their food, sleep anywhere and either work so hard they were skin and bones, or loaf until they looked like blubber seals, But in those rude ages the people themselves ignored such important health factors as scientific diet, regular exercise, and fresh air and water. Their proverbs and literature shdw that affection for “man’s best friend” has remained steadfast throughout the ages. < &
