"Don't try to beat the traffic signal light." was the tenor of his warning. "The twin of the 'signal beater' is the driver who. stopped for the red. dashes madly forward as soon as the signal changes. He seems to think he's in a race and that the last faint trace of amber is the starter's gun.

Frequently the twins come together, if they don't they come into violent contact with pedestrians. "Very few drivers ever pass the red signal. With the red agair.it them they are content to stop and wait for the change, but ui a majority of instances obered by the road patrol, drivers seem unwilling to approach cautiously when the signal is gri-en." i i I i I best possible light is obtained all day.

D. Aug. 5. Within 24 hours, it began clearly to appear that the country chose to give the New Eagland interpretation to President Coolidge' fateful announcement of disinclination to succeed himself, and within 48 hours, it further began to appear that the Republicans, instead of beseeching Coolidge to reconsider, had turned to the business of proposing his successor. Already, interest In the Coolidge deliverance is giving place to interest i the resultant immediate practical effect, which naturally concerns the party's sudden dilemma brought about by the unexpected effacement of the foremost figure in the Republican organization, whose continuance at the helm had been taken for granted by the leaders, as well as the rank and file of the party.

To loosen the turtle and revive the duck required some knowledge of "life saving" but Mr. Becker succeeded in bringing the duck back to life and restoring it to its owner. The turtle, weighing about 14 pounds, is being prepared today for a delicious meal. This is a true story.

It is the assumption that the duck, while "probing" for food in the water, was attacked by the turtle. COVERED MILES (Uj The Atsiocictcd Frets.) Dessau, Germanv, 5.
