USING MAIN STREET AS A
SPEEDWAY
It seems to be the ambition of a
good many automobile drivers to es
tablish a speed record on Main street.
They drive down this thoroughfare
of our town at a clip that would
make Barney Oldfield and the speed
demonH of our race tracks today feel
envious and jealous.
We do not know the record that
has been set and which the others
are trying to lower. Evidently i
is a good ono but the contestants who
are trying to grab the laurels are
reckless and brave, and no doubt
will accomplish their design even if
If they have to kill some one.
The city hag put up signs to ap-1
prise the public of the speed limit
w ithin Its borders. If they have any |
effect it is not noticeable.
The law prohibiting speeding on |
Main street should be enforced.
THE "OLEO” REFERENDUM
Competition Said to Bo Driving
Vosocla Into Coast Trade.
111
Washington, D. C.—The competition
of the open seaa has driven so many
privately owned American ships Into
the coastal trade that the shipping
board's bureau of research character
ized the increased coastal movement
of cargoes as "the most marked de
velopment in the employment of ahipa
inder the United States flag during
he past year.”
"The vessels under private owner
ship," said a report, “have practically
abandoned the hopeless task of com
peting with the more cheaply operated
foreign fleets, and have turned to the
protected traffic of our coastal waters,
where the basis of operation coat is
equal."
