For example, he says a warning of some value but not highly reliable is embodied in the verse: A rain bow in the morning Is the shepherd's warning; A rainbow at night Is the shepherd's delight.

The IH 0THER Herbert Hoover, Missouri Farmer, Soon To Visit Maryville "Ranch" MARYVTLLE, Aug. 10. when Hoover actually became a Mis- DAILY SADIO PROGRAM Speeding Busses Bus Has Its Place on Road But it Must Not Overstep Limi- tations, States S. Edward 1 HARRISBURQ, Aug. 11.

The menace of the speeding motor bus on the highway! ol Pennsylvania as hit In statement issued today oy Edward Gable, of Lancaster, president of the Pennsylvania Moujr Federation. "Speed in travel Is essential in these busy days," said Mr. Gable, "but highway safety is preeminent. The bus has its place on the road, but It must hold to that place and not overstep the limitations of the law in speed, nor In tny other phase of operation. The men in charge of operation of these bus lines and the man behind the wheel of every bus must see to it that ihe provisions of the traffic laws are held to strictly at all times, and under oil circumstances.

"The motor bus has -ken a place along side the railway train and the trolley car as a means of overUnd transportation. In the past year throughout the nation busses repie-senting several billion dollars in invested capital carried nearly three billion passengers. In Pennsylvania, capital carried nearly three til-lion passengers. In Pennsylvania, ps in other states, the bus has found wide public favor, But with the widespread utilization of the bus as a of travel comes the ff highway safety, a problem that is giving tne state authorities considerable concern, for all over the state there have arisen protests that busses are, in many instances, disregarding the speed laws as set forth in the motor code, and are otherwise violating the commonwealth's motor vehicle- regulations. "If the bus, as does the railway train and trolley car, move alon? a private right of way, there would be no difficulty.

But as it is the bus must take Its place with tfce pleasure car, the truck and the motorcycle on the mam arteries of travel. Its speed is governed by the same motor code that regulates the pleasure car and the truck. It mus.t stop when the traffic signal is against it ana move when the 'go' sign flashes. It must abide by the regulations of the road in whatever state and whatever municipality it is operating. It has no special road privileges.

Yet, with it all, the bus must hold to, as clcsely as possible, a fixed schedule, otherwise it cannot serve theipublic well. "Time must be made on the road, else the bus loses much of its utility as a common carrier. But the general safety of all other users of the highway, as well as that of the bus passengers, must at all times be taken into consideration and excessive speed and reckless operation of busses in order to hold to schedule will not be tolerated in Pennsylvania. Captain William C. Price, head of the State Motor Patrol, served no-'tlce of this recently when he ordired his men to investigate the many complaints that had come to him regarding alleged violations by many bus drivers of the state motor vehicle laws.

"The Pennsylvania Motor Federation is firmly in back of this campaign to rid the highway of the menace of the speeding bus. I realize that traffic snarls, wet highways, and, in winter, ice and snow, frequently make it difficult for motor busses to hold within a fixed rate of speed and, at the same time, cover their ground any ways near to schedule. But that is a problem the bus men must solve. Public safety mands it. "The bus as a means of overland transportation, as well as for urb.m and interurban use, is comfortable, WW- I butVU Mtk4 IVVtOVAl WC Ti price It is here to stay, as its rapidly growing usage throughout the nation indicates, but it must hold to the laws governing its operation, just as do other public utility companies.

"The people of Pennsylvania will not tolerate the menace of giant busses traveling at an excessive rate of speed over the highways of the commonwealth, Jeopardizing the safety of all on the arteries of travel The bus line operators are taking precautions to safeguard their passengers, but they must look to the safety of all nthe arteries of travel "The state's highways are public. not private property, and all users of tkese roadl musT EVnE State Motor Patrol is to be congratu- lated in its efforts to put a stop to all law violations by these giants of the highway." Chairmanship Will Be Decided Todav From Page One things and the power the chairman wields the struggle has been pre cipitated this year. Two years ago wnen Mr. jenmiah was elected, it was unanimous for him. This year has seen a very bitter struggle for the job with onlv those who are on the inside knoTIng Just how bitter the fight has waxed.

Mr. Jerimiah is the candidate of i "Herbert Hoover the Missouri farmer!" This is no campaign slogan concocted by wiley campaign managers to harvest the elusive farm vote. It is likewise not fiction, as the recent unbrotherly demonstration against Herbert Hoover at the Republican national convention at Kansas City by the rustic supporters (edit) (tat) WOT, SCHENECTADY I7.S TK k. 7:00 00 Programs from WEAF. 00 7.00 HOOVER NOTOTCATION.
