TODAY TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT The enforcement of the traffic laws In Amherst, since the council hired a speed officer to take up the work, has created a great deal of Interest among the citizens of the town, and we hear both favorable and unfavorable comment from all sides. A number of arrests have been made in the past few weeks (or speeding and other violations of the traffic luws. Some of the violators have been local people, but the greater number were out of town people. As to the cpmment, several local peqple are opposed to the way which the traffic regulations are enforced. They have said that the laws are enforced beyond reason. For instance, it was reported that a man was arrested last Sunday for traveling on Main street while traveling at the rate of 21 Vs miles per hour. This arrest in the minds of some was- unjust. To, those who think. It was unjust, their attention is called, to an ordinance which regulates the traffic here, The ordinance reads that a speed of not greater than 15 miles per hour will be allowed in the built-up section of Amherst, and the built-up section shall be on Cleveland avenue from Spring street to Main street, on Park avenue from Spring street to Main street, on Elyria avenue from Church street to Main street, on Church street from Cleveland avenue to Elyria avenue, and on Main street from Elyria avenue to Cleveland avenue. According to this ordinance, traveling at the rate ot 21% miles per hour was exceeding the speed limit by <>>,£ miles per hour. Many such cases have been reported, and exceeding the speed limit by on j mile per hour,, according to the or dlnance is unlawful and the violate should be fined accordingly. .! Then too, it has been argued that enforcing the traffic laws so strictly will give the town a bad name. This should give the town a good name to right thinking people, and It will give the town a name as one that have authorities that do not pass an ordinance end then forget about It. We will And that in a city like Cleveland the traffic laws are enforced there regardless ot what others think about the town. It the laws' are to be made, let them be enforced. When the purpose of passing legislation governing speed In cities and villages are taken Into consideration, what are they tor? For nothing other than protecting the life and property of tbe inhabitants therein. Who would consider that these things are not worth observing, who would, that are the right kind of citizens wilfully cause suffering and even death and instruction of property to satisfy his craving for running an automobile at a speed that 1b beyond any reason whatever.. When you (Ind a citizen who does dot believe in the enforcing of the laws as they should be enforced, you can almost figure him out to be a good knocker, and the truth is, the more knocking there is going on the better the town fa advertised. In spite of the talk of some few there are many others who will say to the mayor and council, "keep it up, you are doing tine!" W5M0RKS REPRESENTATIVE ASKS RATE RAISE 'N'feriiir B. M. A. PICNIC TO BE HELD IN JULY 'I'lic committee wus appointed at u recent meeting of the Amherst llus- iness Men's ussoclutlon to muke arrangements for the annual picnic which Is to lie held the latter part of July. The commltte consists of Frank Mlsclikii. Ludwlg Thomas, ami W. It. MacCarthy, ami they will mnke plans (or one of the best community affairs ever held. The date and place will lie announced later. GERLACH RITES HELD MONDAY Funeral services for the late Oeorge Oerlach, who died at his home on Elyrla avenue at three o'clock last Friday morning at the age of 83 years, were held Monday afternoon, with Rev. M. Neumelster and Rev. Tabbert officiating. The deceased was born in Oermany and came to this 'country when he was fifteen yars of' age. For many years he operated a ■ shoemaker shop here and v«na widely known. A large number of friends and relatives of the deceased were present. Burial was made in Crownhill cemetery. NOTICE TO MERCHANTS! All mechants who have ads in our missing word contest and who desire to change their ads each week, must have copy at the office of the News-Times not later than Tuesday morning of each week. The more time we have to set your td the better Job you will get. If any merchant desires any help in the preparation of his ad just call the office. In order to get full benefits out of the missing word contest, ihe merchant should change his ad each week. PUBLISHERS Some time ago, tbe council suggested a meaus ot parking automobiles on the principal streets of Amherst which would eliminate the congested traffic conditions, especially on Saturday. ■ m ' The suggestion was to have machines parked parallel to the curb on' the south side ot Park avenue nnd at an angle of 46 degrees on tlie north side of Park avenue. On Church street machines were to be parked parallel to the curb on the west side and at an angle of 46 degrees ou the eas't side Noticably, this suggestion has been tar from carried out, or any attempt to do so has been made. The congested condition on Park avenue, especially on Saturday night has become a menace to drivers and It is almost impossible for two machines' to pass, which may in time result In an accident. , A .speedy . remedy . to this condition should hp''taken by the council, and should be enforced. '■■ It has been,'evident'lately that the anti-glare lens law, which was passed two years ago, has' feel through or has' been forgotten by the authorities whose duties- it is to enforce state laws. We can remember when every accessory dealer and even men were making it a business to sell you lenses that would confirm with the state law, and you bought one and threw your old ones away. . That all sounded very good at that time and we all thought what a relief It would be to drive at night and would not have to use our dimmers, and that It would be a comfort to drive without being blinded by the g'.are ot the other fellow's lights. Those times have about but passed as far as anti-glare lens are concerned. There are many lights used that are a violation to thr law, and there are.some that are all right but when it. comes, to cany ing a spot light,, and some times two that are centered tn the road It is beyond any and all consideration on ihe part of the user of these spot lights for the other people on the road. Some manufacturers have fought the anti-glare lens law and have urged upon dealers to furnish owners of cars with these bright lights for the purpose of the head lights and have given no consideration to the law. These bright light has caused many accidents. Right here in our midst last Sunday two machines on roads leading out of Amherst, machines were in the ditch and the drivers claimed that they were blinded by spot lights, and could not stay in the road. Then too, you have possibly noticed some with a spot light on the right side of the machine and/he headlights turned dut entirely. This, is would seem is having little regard for other people on the road. This menace y> pight driving could be reduced somewhat It the ones whose duty it is would enforce the anti-glare lens law.

ERED NABAKOWSKI WEDS LORAIN GIRL INCREASED COST OF WATER AND OPERATION COMPELS LOCAL WATER WORKS TO ASK FOR RAISE. Representatives of tbe Amherst Water Works company were present at the meeting ot the council Tuesday nlgbt relative to the establishing a new rate to city water consumers here. On uccount ot increased cost of wuter und operation the local company deems it neccesury to make a raise in the rates from 37% per thousand gallons to 50c per thousand. Two years ago, The Elyrla Water Works Company, from which the local com puny buys the water made a thirty per cent increase in rates. At that time officials of the local company 1 bought that they would be able to continue giving water service to their customers at the same rate. The increase in the tax rate and cost of operation, however, has mode it hardly possible. Iienses. In order to maintain the local company und keep water service here. It will be necessary to increase the rates. In asking for the new rate, the officials of the company do not want to inflict any hardships upon their customers and hope that .they can clearly understand why the rates must be rulsed. The matter was discussed extensively ut the meeting Tuesday night, hut no uctlon was taken. It will be brought up again at the next meeting. i H. L.

She believed that she hsd lived through the dreams and fancies of a girl to become a woman of the world. And she had gone on as before, a part of the guttering show, but no longer blind to tha truth—-thst there was nothing in her luxurious life to make it significant." But this New York society girl buys e cattle ranch which becomes the center of frontier warfare. She finds an object for her wealth and abilities; she finds the keen* est rest in Living snd finally— she finds love.
