COUNTRY DRIVING NOW AS DANGEROUS AS CITY MOTORING
It has been frequently noted In this vicinity that touring hazards In the country are almost as numerous as they are In the city streets and it is announced by the Hoosler State Automobile association that these conditions exist and are increasing rapidly in rural communities all over Indiana. Because of this the automobile association -has issued a set of "don'ts" which, if followed, will materially reduce accidents at road intersections and prevent the many fatalities that are beins reported. The "don'ts" follow: 1. Don't go sailing through a blind country road intersection at full speed. Slow down to a control speed.
It is not sufficient to sound your horn. Another car may be speeding along the intersecting road. You take your life in your hand every time to violate this injunction. 2. Don't turn corners rapidly, either in city, town or country. Give the other fellow a chance, always. 3. Don't take it for granted that no one else is approaching around the corner.. Automobiles are too thick now in Indiana to bank on that chance. 4. Don't try to hog the center of the road. If the fellow behind wants to go around you, lay over. Above all do not attempt to do any racing. The

The woman who allows herself to become stout loses her figure. Youth and slendernees are so closely associated that even the young girl who is stout is spoken of as mature and is apt to be considered old long before her time. You must not only be elastic to be youthful ; you must also be slim. Elasticity may be a matter of exercise; slimness is a matter of exercise and diet. You have a golden opportunity now to improve your figure. The whole outdoor world tempts you. Get out into it as much as you can. If possible, play tennis; this keeps you alert, makes you spring suddenly into action, brings your eye, your hand and arm Into play, makes you
run suddenly and swiftly, sends your! f
blood racing and makes you fill your lungs with air. A hard fought game
I of tennis will make you exercise al
most every muscle in your body. In my opinion, it is only excelled by swimming as a beneficial exercise. Tennis Is not the only outdoor game. Even if you live in the heart of the city and cannot get any athletic exercise, you can still board a trolley, ride to the city limits, and walk with long, winging steps far out into the picturesque greenness of the country. This is not quite so good for you because it brings into play only the
'lower part of the body, but it makes

5. Don't fail to slow down to 10 or!
12 miles an hour In passing through
ncorporated towns and cities, and
close your muffler. It would be bet-
terif you kept that muffler closed all the time. 6. Don't fail to dim your lights in meeting another car at night, see to it that your lights are not "cocked up" or askew, but in straightline and down on the road. Don't count on socalled lens dimmers protecting the other fellow most of them fail to do this. 7. Don't fail to slow down when you come to fresh or nearly fresh gravel. The undertakers are waxing fat on the failure to observe this commonsense rule. Finally," says the bulletin, remember to drive sensibly and with a Christian-like respect for the other fellow.
The city of Wabash. Ind.. has a splen
did Idea in its signs on main entering streets which reads: 'City limits;
Drive Sensibly.' If motorists will just
drive sensibly the major part of the traffic troubles everywhere,' in city,
town or country, would be eliminated and many, many lives would be saved annually." The Hoosier State Automobile association also calls attention of township trustees to the fact that a new law requires them to see to it that obstructions to the view at road intersections are removed, and that all shrubbery, hedges, trees, etc., are trimmed so a view of the cross road may be obtained- It is urged that motorists everywhere insist that their township trustee get busy now and comply with this law, which was secured through the influence of the state association. "Thi3 is but another evidence of our protective work for automobile owners," declares M. E. Noblet, secretary. "What we need now is more members co-operating with our work in every section of the state. The motorists need us; we need them, for in greater organization much more civic and individual work can be accomplished. -

heavily. Certainly this, is a recommendation for the two comedians. As a morsel from a circus comes the act of the Rosa King trio. Wire dancing by two pretty young ladie3 and a young man is the feature. They have a spry and clever performance. Whether it's Kip or whether it's Kippy makes no difference, it's the
man in the act of Kip and Kippy who
compares well with recent juggling
stunts. It is a pleasure to observe a clean, skillful juggling without the burdensome half-done slap-stick comedy usually a part of acts of this kind.

TEXAN AIMS MEASURE
AT 'SECRET EMPIRE' OF SOUTHERN STATES AUSTIN, Tex., July 22. A resolution requesting that a bill to prescribe penalties for persons "disguising themselves and violating the laws of the state by Inflicting punishment up
on persons against whom no legal
complaint had been filed," be submitted to the Texas legislature was pre
sentedto Governor Neff Thursday by
Representative Patman. It bore the signatures of 43 state representatives. The bill, Mr. Patman said, was aimed at the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Patman said he also showed the governor what was purported to be an application blank for membership in the "invisible "empire, knights of the. Ku Klux Klan." The application, Mr. Patman said, requires prospective members to remit $10 and to guarantee on honor to conform to the organization's constitution and by-laws. Cite Part- of Oath. "It I prove untrue as a Klansman I will willingly accept whatever penalty your authority may impose," is one of the obligations, Mr. Patman declared. The petition to Governor Neff was

MURRETTE
When you see Mabel Normand at the Murrette theatre in "What Happened to Rosa," her new Goldwyn
picture which starts on Friday, you
will not only see her at her very best, but you will see her supported
by a cast that is worthy of special notice. Eugenei Besserer, who plays Mam-
ame O'Donnell. is one of the best
screen character leading women in the business, having been on the real stage with such celebrities as Keenan, Barrymore, Rankin, Lackeye and many others, besides she starred in her own companies, and has been on the stage since a mere girl. When she portrays a part she does it with all her energy, knowledge, and experience. She breathes the breath of life and energy, and when you see this picture, you will at once recognize in her the finished artist. WASHINGTON. Edwin August, the well known actordirector, who is playing the leading male role in "The Idol of the North."
Paramount's latest starring vehicle for
Dorothy Dalton, claims the distinction of being the first actor who was signed under contract for a motion picture. In the summer of 1909 when he. was taking a vacation in London
prior to starting a London engagement in "The Lottery Man" he re
ceived a cable from D. W. Griffith, who had seen the first three pictures he had made for the Edison company, and offered him an enticing engagement.
August, accustomed to stage ethics, insisted on being given a contract before he would take tho engagement, a
thing hitherto unknown In pictures.
"The Idol of the North," a story of the life in the Canadian woods along
the gold trail to Alaska, is being shown
at the Washington Theatre.
MURRAY. A bit of local atmosphere in a small town is shown in ."What Your Repu
tation Worth?" which will be seen at
Murray theater. This atmosphere is
obtained around "the village postoffics
ana in the country store, where the older men of the village congregate to whisper the gossip of the hour, look wise and appear to know more than they really do. A pleasing touch is given when one of the players, a genuine article of the rural districts, sticks his tongue in his cheek, winks and looks wise. This action has an important bearing on the story. It is at a time when Miss Griffith as Cara Deene and
Percy Marmont as Anthony Blake, her employer, drive through the village
on a sieignmg trip.
The action of the story is intensely
dramatic ana tne scenic backgrounds
are widely contrasted,- showine the
beauties of nature in the country and
tne exquisite luxury of society in New York City. A few flashes of a cheap boarding house gives a pleasing touch to the film. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE. The Four of Us, a ladies' quartet, is the headliner now playing. Songs by the four were well given and appreciated. Thursday. Probably the greatest difference between a quartet of ladies, and a male quartet (aside from
the tone level and other unavoidable female characteristics) is that the male quartet usually promates a keen brand of .humor. From them it is accepted, and devoured hungrily. The same brand served by the ladies does not tempt. A blackface and a straight in "It Has Gotta Be Done," is the winner on the bill. Even so, much of their goods is not unknown to the local boards. Handled by others than Young and Reed, it might have fallen
