So many persona have been killed and maimed for life In Okl.ihom.i within the past year by criminal use of tho automobile thut the ci;;. authorities of moat Oklahoma towns have taken steps to curb the speed mania. At MttskoRt'e, an automobile 01 copied by a chauffeur and two women, while heliiK driven at a blah rate of speed, ran down (' Itobln. 70 years of ai;e. Two wheels of the machine pased oer his Ixsly breaklnR three ribs and In juring him internally. No ir'- were made at the time At Shawnee little Donald Abbot was thrown from his seat in the buacy of his parents and injured by the rolllalon of an automobile with the rla. The automobile and the perpetrator of the outrage was ; never discovered. I Serious accidents from criminal careleaatieaa of "Joy riders" have 1 been frequent In Oklahoma City , nlthoiiKh the police hnvo bot'er enn j trol over the situation at present, j Hecently an automobile crashed 1 Into a lniKcy there, wrecklnK It and seriously Injuring two yomiK j women. Miss Tina Colllver and Miss Josephine Pope, of Oklahoma City. MIhs I 'ope told the police that she I warned the drive- of the machine before he was within fifty feet of j them to stop, but that he seemed to lanore her appeals and crasle'l Into the tuiKKy fiom the rear. Iloth wo men were thrown beuenth th. hor". I feet and It was considered .t i.iI.m e that they escaped death. The- hailf-' four claimed that the brake re fused to work. ' A machine driven by a physician at Shawnee was run down by a 1 small runabout driven by a woman. 1 The runalHiut was thrown umilnst the curb and one wheel sma. hd ' and the doctor's wife and baby who 1 were In his mnchlne .were lmdly shaken up. An accident which took on some fiiitures of humor occurred at Mils- kojtee when John Mllllkln, who was riding; a bicycle, collided with tin au tomobile, mitt was thrown to tha street. Strange to say, the bicycle was badly damaged, but the rider received slight 'njutles. Tin tic cupanta of the uuloiiioblle placed the cyclist in their automobile and rushed him to a doclor. who pio nounced him none the worse for the accident. In Outhrle the city council hns adopted an ordinance roipilrhiK nil auto owners to take out a license of $2.50 a year, register their ma chines and comply with certain speed limits. Similar ordinances are no win effect in most of the larger cities of the state. At llobart re cently the city inaralial and city at torney Joined In a published warn-1 liiK Ui "Joy riders' to desist or they would be arrested. As early as the first session of 1 the state legislature In the fall of 1!HS. au attempt was made to et through a state law rogiilatliiK th speetl of automobiles. The proposed law also r.miulred drivers to stop their machine upon pHsslng a team in the rond and if the team took fright to assist the farmer or other ' person to hold his fractious mil mals until ,t. )t ()f ranise of the "Joy" wagon. Some wag introduced an amendment to the bill requiring tho driver of the auto to also jjlve the farmer a chew f tolwco. The bill was amended and Joked to death.

Inroads of the coenlno habit, which the Currier Commission has found to be the Anierioun curse as opium Is the curse of China and hemp of India, have suddenly developed Into a now and ominous phnse of the race problem In the United States, partic ularly In the south. "Cocaine now ranks with whisky as the chief provocntlve of rape and Its consequent lynching beo In the south," declares Chnrles . Collins and John Day of the com mission In a preliminary report Just published In full by the Chicago magazine, "Everyday Life." They add: "Already anions the 'fiends' and the policemen who have to deal with them, there Is talk of 'the new field.' The phrase, with Its commercial suggestion, comes from the dealers In tho drtiKR. retailers and perhaps wholesalers also. Kvery 'fiend.' It should be added, Is more than likely to be a peddler of the 'stuff.' tnklng his commission In tho nine misery that lie distributes. This 'new field' Ik nmong the bru talized negroes or the south, who. denied easy access to liquor by the prohibition movement, an- turultiK to drugs as a substitute." The commission quotes from Hampton's mng.17.lm an article by Judge Harry Dickson, of Vicksburg. Miss., who told of a contractor who ordered a pound of cocaine, to the astonishment of the salesman to whom the order was given, who ex lH)stiilated, saying: "No man on oarth can possibly want that much cocnlne." The contractor reiterated the order. "A man who deliberately puts co caine Into a negro is more danger ous than he who would Inoculate a dog with hydrophobia." commented Judge Dickson. "The deadly drug arouses every evil passion, gives the negro superhuman strength, and de stroys his sense of fear. Yet the steamlKiat negro and the levoe nogro wilt not work without It. So the levee contractor makes his camp look like a cross section of hell, but he gets his dirt moved." :: :: 1: :: :: :: :t :: The coolest place In the city where the very finest fruit sundaes and Ices, min eral waters and other drinks are to be had is I-ondon's.
