known as a Missing Word contest—
strictly educational, exciting and a
contest which necessitates quickness
and sureness ot the eye and the ability
to consentrote. The many readers of
the News-Times will welcome the
proposition as something diverting as
well as profitable and one which will

On pages 4 and G of this issue will

the advertisements to decide whether
or not tho words chosen are correct.
When this Is done, the contestant

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!"

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.

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.

THE LIGHT
OF
WESTERN
STARS
By Zane Grey
"There had been months of
unrest* of curiously painful
wonderment that her position, her wealth, her popularity no longer sufficed. 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.
