NEWS ITEMS AS VIEWED FROM TIE EDITOR'S STANDPOINT HAD POOR “CONTROL” Michigan City, Ind.. September 6The “control" of a woman ’ contestant in a '‘rolling pin throwing" event at a picnic near Crown Point was poor and the pin struck Mrs. Lyle Woodworth, of this city, a spectator, in the. face. Several stitenes were required to close the cut. Followers of Maggie and Jiggs in the comic Sections of the Sunday papers will probably look upon this rolling pin episode With wonder. To think that a lady of the house should be laid out with woman’s favorite fighting stick is astounding. Jiggs could probably vouch for a woman’s aim when the big stick gets started and we believe that the above contestant must not have been in good trim. “A MONUMENT TO DEAD LOVE” SIGN FRONTS BROKEN HOME Brazil, Ind,, Sept, ft—"A Monument to Dead Dove” is a sign in bold letters on the house of Guy Daugherty, clay Worker, living northwest of Brazil, Which seldom fails to stop those passing by. Embittered because he believed his wife unfaithful to him and had deserted him, l>uugherty broke up the household goods, including, t(ie kitchen range, and stacked it into the "monument.” All the cups and saucers were smashed and put in the pile. When Daugherty, first, was inform ed by a Terre Haute woman that her husband and -Daugherty's wife had been “keeping company,” Daugherty at first refused to believe it but later he had affidavits made .out. against his wife and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Walter Pierce, charging they contributed to the neglect of Mrs. Daugherty’s daughter. , Daugherty’s "monument" is supposed to be made tip of articles about the home broken by him. self hut we wonder if any of the dishes in the pile might have been broken at an earlier (late by being thrown at his head.Monuments represent a sacred memory and it seems that his love for his. wife must have. been sacred as he takes this means of showing io i.lic public the high esteem in. which; it was held. “STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN” CAUSES FEWER ACCIDENTS Chicago, 111., September ft - During 1927, 2.371 persons were killed at grade crossings, and ft.ft 13 were injured, according to information received by the accident prevention der partment of the Chicago Motor Club. A report just completed by the American Hoad Builders’ Association in cooperation with the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that 206,533 unprotected grade crossings existed on class 1 steam railroads alone at (lit beginning of 1927, while there were only ! 2.7,747 protected crossings. Os the latter, 6.14S were guarded by gates, 7,760 by watchmen; 6,427 by audible and visible signals; 5,308 by audible signal only, and 2,204 by visible signal only. Notwithstanding this apparently high rate of fatalities, the safety section of the American Railway association recently issued, figures tending to .show that the number of persons killed in grade crossing accidents in 1927 was 4 per cent less than in 1926, although there was an increase in „ the number of automobiles on the highways. .

JUST WHERE WOULD IT END According to our good friend AI Smith —(when he becomes president) hq will see to it that the eighteenth amendment is modified—that each state will have its own say as to whether it will sell liquor or not. A fine outlook! Today it takes a small sized squadron of men to patrol the Canadian border where intoxicating liquors are sold ideally, according to the presidential aspirant. Just stop and consider what it would mean if Illinois or Ohio was “wet" and Indiana dry. This would be fine, says Al and maybe it would but how much nicer it is to know that neither Illinois or Ohio can become :wc/t and flood our own state as a consequence. Speaking of the impossible-nothing ■would be more impossible than to have one state dry and the one alongside it “wet."

We would have no objection to the genial AI being a Czar in <t realm of his own making but we will take no chances of him trying to alter the | laws of this cpnntry if it is possible ts- head him off. After several years of.“so-called failure” to enforce the 1 prohibition amendment it is still hard to find anyone who is willing to.see the country return to pre-Vol-] stead days—each dissatisfied citizen j is trying to look for a "happy medium” as they say, showing that -at j least partial success has crowned the Work of the ‘‘dry” forces.

A new 1 golf links, north of Bloomington, ] which eventually will become a part] of the city park system, has been made possible by the Bloomington Golf Association, a group of more."] than 100 loyal men who pledged their] financial support to the enterprise:! The idea of a municipal golf course for the city was accepted lightly at "first, but the. young firou backing Htc enterprise were determined iij their efforts. Cooperating with the ’ city park board the land was purchased and today a nine-hole golf course has: been constructed. Golf has become a popular outdoor sport with both men and women, and the new municipal:) links is a good example of what determined public spirit is able to ae ; complikh. A year ago people laughed at the plan. POOR ROADS EXPENSIVE Chicago, rill.. Sept. ft. -The- farm] district of some of the western states] are .paying a tremendous price for their lack of good rOads, according i to information receiv'd by the Chicago Motor Club. Figures compiled by transportation! authorities of the state of lowa show] that, the transportation bill over dirt roads was equal to all of the corn, oats, .wheat and barley crops in the state.' The cost of operating 699,000! motor vehicles registered in lowa in t. 192 ft is estimated at $314.608,000.,! while the value of the four principal I crops that year was $313,367,000. lowa is spending 28 million dollars! in 1928 for improved highways, in an effort to reduce this transportation* cost. Hard surface for alt main high-j ways has been advocated by engineers, and. gravel for light traffic. lowa spends $120,000,000 annually for new automobiles. The average] life of a motor vehicle which is driven on dirt roads is given as five] years; on gravel, as six years, and l on paving, seven years. The annual bill for gasoline :n! lowa is estimated at 50 million do! : lass, arid most of it is used in vehicles operated over dirt roads. According to the information r< -j ceived by the Chicago Motor Club.] the lowa Agricultural college has] made, tests, which show that a gallon j of gas will carry a car fourteen miles on a dirt road; twenty-one, miles on a gravel road, and thirty- ■ one miles on a paved road lowa’s annual expenditure for tires is figured at 30 million dollars.' The cost of tires for the average] motor vehicle is $31:65 a year on concrete or pavement; $63.30 on gravel; 1 and $158.25'0n the average dirt road. Evidently feeling that, the cost of j riding on dirt roads is entirely too; high, the residents of 53 counties have authorized a total of $60,085.-' 650 in highway bonds.
