PAVING THK PIKE.
As a link of the chain of lnter-clty
eo-operation and unity of action for
the common good paving the pike
between the citleg of Temple and Bel-
ton will prove one of the strongest.
The notarial* of the two cities could
have founded no more appealing and
popular slogan than "Pave The Pike!"
This improvement will lead to sub-
urban Improvement In both cities in
the direction of the pike and will en-
hance the value of properly in both
cities and all along the eight miles of
roadway connecting the county capital
end Temple.
With permanent pavement on the
pike there .will rise on either side
magnificent homes, attractive parks,
beautiful gat'dsns and the banks of the
historic Leon will be lined with re-
sorts for the recreation and healthful
exercise of the Inhabitants of both
places. It is a public fciprovement In
the direction of permansat and sub-
stantial development that Will bring
wider fame and more favorable con-
sideration than the construction of the
pike between Delias and Fort Worth
end that, although of good character,
Is not of that permanent character
that Insures 'the easiest, safest and
most comfortable traveling at all
times.
There Is everything to be said In
favor of the proposal which has been
sponsored by the Notary clubs of Tem-
ple and Belton and given the open and
unqualified approval of county Judge
and county commissioners. With this
encouraging start there ought to be no
slackening In the movement until the
great permanent pikeway Is built and
opened to the public. There will be
no extra burden of taxation Imposed
by reason of having this work done.
The state highway department and
the federal highway department will
give aid to the amount of not less
than 50 per cent of the cost ond the
iway thus is opened to obtain a per-
manent monument to progress and
advancement at the cost of an ordi-
nary temporary roadway, subject to
constant erosions, damages, washouts
and other costly devastation, not to
mention the peace of mind, sense of
pleasure and feeling of comfort that
■will come from traveling over a
smooth, perfect highway.
I<et the pike be paved and let the
work be undertaken as early us prac-
ticable.
ed as "unavoidable." Perhaps "un-
expected" would be a better word A
child would never run across the
street If It knew It was going to be
run down by an automobile. A mo-
torist would never rush madly by a
car parked along the curb if he knew
a child was going to dart out ap-
parently from nowhere and step in
front of his speeding machine. No
motorist wilfully runs over A pedes-
trian. Few pedestrians wilfully step
out In front of on-coming machines.
But motorists frequently run over pe-
destrians and pedestrians arc always
getting in the way. The "unavoid-
able" accident that follows could have
been prevented easily enough if both
the motorist and the pedestrian had
been a little more careful.
The number of automobile casual-
ties in the United States annually Is
almost astounding, but sometimes It
appears remarkable that they are not
many times larger than they are. The
National Safety Council estimates aulo
deaths in the country in 1920 at
about 12,000. Its figures for 1918 are
9,542; and 9,826 for 1919. Figures for
1921 have not yet been complied, but
it is known that the number of deaths
will run between 9,000 and 12,000—a
pretty heavy toll for carelessness, or
at least for a little lack of precaution.
Add to the number of fatalities the
much larger number of injured and it
appears that the Increasing motor
casualties would hurt the automobile
business, but somehow this Is not the
case. All of us expect the other fel-
low to figure In the smash-up, and we
drive merrily on—sometimes watch-
ing where we're going and observing
traffic regulations; sometimes looking
nowhere and getting a jolt at street
lntersectlona
The automobile Is about the safest
mode of travel known when the driver
keeps his machine under control Its
danger lies not so much in its speed
as in the failure of the man at the
steering wheel to watch out for other
motorists and for pedestrians, and the
holes or bumps in the road which
sometimes swerve fast speeding ma-
chines into thy ditch. It Is up to both
motorists and pedestrians to hold
down the number of motor accidents
—and this ca» be done If a tittle
more watchfulness, care and precau-
tion are exercised.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
AlTOMOBlLi; FATALITIES.
In announcing the number of auto-
mobile killings In Massachusetts last
year at 644 the registrar of motor ve-
hicles of that stale gives a little H?-
vlce that might well be taken by mo-
torists In every state In the Union. In
continuing his accident prevention
campaign Frank A. Goodwin, the reg-
istrar, is asking school teachers
throughout his state to present the fol-
lowing problem to the children of the
public schools;
"Ih the year 1920 there were Jl»,-
fl74 automobiles registered in Massa-
chusetts. In 1921 there were 372,790
automobiles registered. In 1921 there
;wcr« ItC children killed and S.4J3
Children Injured. If, then, the num-
ber Qt automobiles increases In the
nmi firoportlon in the year 1922, and
motorists and children are no more
careful than they were In 1921, how
many children will be killed in 1922?
How many children will be Injured in

It might be well for every operator of

lem for himself. Then let liim keep In

What's In a Nairn*, Anyway?
Proud man, dressed *n a little brief
authority, cannot force woman to take
his name or call herself Mrs. when she
marries him, though as a lule she
does. This fact was discovered by the
still lamented Lucy Stone, who kept
that name long after she was most
conventionally and stodglly married.
A lot of nice girls who have been mar-
ried since have heard of Lucy and
have formed themselves Into the Lucy
Stone League; and when they heard
that Elsie Hill, daughter ot the late
Ebeneser, a solid Connecticut politic-
ian, who never worried his head about
anything but the tariff, was going to
keep her old name after her marriage,
they sent her their congiatulatlons on
her manly stand and invited her to
join in. Miss Hill replied in !it>rn and
lofty language, indicating her Inten-
tion to do so and make an issue of it.
Here on the ringside w$ applaud the
nice girls who keep their old names,
ns we also applaud the nice girls who
don't. Kvery girl to her taste. The
silent law looks on with Indifference,
but not we. We like both kinds, Ituth
Hale, president of the league, is an
especially nice girl; and Jaue Grant,
the secretary, is equally so. Th' y arc
both solidly and comfortably married
to honest gentlemen whose names are
not Hale or Grant. But why the sol-
emnity; why the uncompromising
front, the stern determination. Why
does Miss Hill faca the enemy bo grim-
ly? There really Isn't any enemy.
Why form a league? We're all for
the girls anyhow. It's not bo long
since Senator La Follette's daughter
was making quite a to-do over her de-
termination to keep her unmarried
name, but nobody else seemed exclt-
eed. We beg Miss Hill to reflect before
she starts anything. — Philadelphia

ANDREW AND IMOGENE
(By Roa fuusrson)
"Why dont they have Shakespeare
at the theatres any more?" asked Iml-
gene.
"They do now and then," said An-
drew, "but the trouble Is that the
people who have theatres are natural-
ly hospitable people and like to have
folks come and see them, but thnt
never happens when they have a play
written by the gentleman you have
just mentioned.
"You see to get people to come to
the theatre when they have a Shake-
pearean play they have to give a pair
of souvenir garters with every ticket
or else they have to hire a leading
lady with a world celebrated back
who wears a gown cut as low as a
dowager.
"Of course, they can get away with
It now and then where the -Shake-
spearean drama Is used as a vehicle
to carry a barefoot dancer In a throne
room scene. You see this barefoot
dance stuff is a little raw for a lot
of good people, but if the Shake-
spearean play will supply the art
feature needed there are a lot of peo-
ple who like to see the dance.
"You see, there was a time, dear,
when art for art's sake meant some-
thing in this land of ours. The most
frequent thing now Is to see the name
of the manager in letters two feet
high, the name of the actor In letters
two feet high, th* name of the play
six Inches, and If the author gets on
the bill at alt he is a lucky guy.
"When you once get Inside of the
theatre you find a like condition pre-
vails. The manager's name Is ihe big-
best thing on the program. He seems
to think he Is the hero of the play
and when It comes to putting on
Shakespeare In this country there Is
a certain amount of truth in it
"Then after him you find that Max
Somebody staged the show, some other
guy arranged the Incident-it music,
that the scenery was painted by an-
other chap, that the costumes were
designed by one man and sewed to-
gether by an entirely different one.
