John Barleycorn at the Wheel. Even these persons who are most ardent for the of crime news in newspapers will hardly believe the generous publicity being given in Kansas City papers just now to court evidence in the Bouchard case can do anything but good. liynn Bouchard, 16 years old, was the driver of a joy-riding motor car on the night of October 26 which collided with a liuck iind resulted in the death of three of the five young people in the car. Evidence introduced tends to he was much under the influence of liquor at the time. Shortly before the accident he visited a bootleg joint and boasted, upon returning, that he had di-ank a pint of alcohol.

"If you don't believe it, my breath," he said. When one of the girls in the party that another boy drive he exclaimed, "Hell, I can ririve!" And when they started one of the boys, killed a few moments later, cried, "Here's where we have one wild ride!" Relating the details of such a party cannot but be helpful. Not only will every parent who reads about it ask himself whp.t sort of parties his own children are participating in, but eve; boy and girl with ordinary common sense will pause to think how terrible accidents are likely to arise when otherwise capable brains are fogged with alcohol. The grim, relentless fact is that fatal accidents due to liquor Hre murder. $2,000,000 Fire Hits Council Bluffs CONTRACT LET FOR PAVING AT PICHER Tlilrd liliik in Street Improvement Provided Work About Completfld.

JUST FOLKS Edgar A British Problem. There are still 1,200,000 unemployed in England, and they comprise at once a burden on and a problem for the government.

In the pa.st, relief works have been mostly unproductive expenditures, including drainage, road repairs, coast reclamation, and the like. This year the ministry is planning a more remunerative program. They are going to limit purely relief work to a minimum, and concentrate upon that sort of activity that will tend to revive industry. It is expected that not less than $120,000,000 will be spent this winter for general relief work, and a total of $400,000,000 has been estimated as required during the next year. One of the most important ways in which the government will seek to give aid while strengthening industry is by a generous approval of loan demands under the Trade Facilities Act.

Guarantees amounting to $275,000,000 already have been made under this law. But there will also be an attempt to hasten construction of new bridges and roads. One project under thi.s head is the Mersey Tunnel, upon which work will be started early in 1926, and which is to cost Another Red Feather. Insurance adjusters who investigated the recent fire at Wheeler leffen's store add one more feather to the array heretofore contributed to Chief Harry Wondell and his fire department. "It 'was a remarkable illustration of efficient and careful fire fighting," says an adjuster.

"The blaze started near the bottom of a row of shelves loaded with Christmas goods, but there was not the slightest water damage on either side of the actual area of the blaze. Chemicals were used with perfect results. You have a really fine department. I wonder if yon appreciate it?" Weather Worries. It is enough to worry over things you might help; don't waste energy worrying over the things beyond your control.

One cold, rainy day a friend of John Wanamaker was coo versing with the merchant in his Philadelphia establishment. "A bad day for the department store business," pbserved the friend. "Young man," mused Mr. Wanamaker, "I worry about a great many things connected with this business- things over which I have or should have some control. But I have no control over the weather; consequently I made up my mind years ago that this was one subject about which I abac- utely should not worry.
