RG : Judge Thomas F. Scully WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1918 SPEED SLOWLY, RING THE HORN; JAP AUTO LAW Every time you see a picture of a Japanese thoroughfare you wonder how automobiles have any room to maneuver at all, let alone how they can observe traffic laws as stringent as those in force on Fifth avenue. But according to a well known mo- tor car importer just returned to the States, the Japs have their own ideas of how a car and driver should be- have, and what is more, take pains to see that all foreigners understand them. Here is the way the rules were translated into English by the Japanese traffic authorities and post- ed at Pyang Yang, Chosen Province. 1. You must drive your automobile at the speed of eight knots per hour on the city road and at twelve knots per hour on the country roads. 2. In narrow place or road corner and bridge, speed slowly. 3. When you see the policemen throwing up his hand you must not drive in front of him. 4. When you pass the corner and the bridge, ring the horn. 5. When you get ahead of the pas- senger on foot or the cow or the horse you must ring the horn. 6. When you meet the horse or the cow speed slowly and take care to ring the horn and not be afraid of them. Drive slowly when you meet the horse and the cattle, do not make them afraid and carefully make the sound. If they are afraid of the sound, you must escape a little while at the side of the road till they pass. 7. When you drive the motor car do not leave the driver seat and take care lest unexpected trouble happen. 8. Do not drive the motor car when you get drunk and do not smoke on driver's seat. 9. When two cars are driving in the same road, if there is another car in front of your, you must keep 60 yards away from him, if you go ahead of him ring horn and pass him. 10. When you cross the railway, wait until the other train and other cars pass through. 11. When anything the matter with your car you go to police station and tell him. 12. When you want to have a driv-| er or exchange another, you must | enclose driver's address, career and age. RE-ELECT "FOR COUNTY JUDGE | | For four years Chicago has been without a single vote fraud scandal, an unprecedented condition. Credit for this state of longs to Judge Thomas F. Scully, who by virtue of his office is the head of the election machinery in Cook Coun- ty. From the minute he entered office Judge Scully devoted a great deal of his time to the reorganization of the election machinery. His first task was to assure the selection of honest elec- tion officials. When it is remembered that this meant an investigation of the reputations and characters of more than 20,000 applicants for 10,000 posi- tions the greatness of the task he as- sumed may be appreciated. However, great as it was, Judge Scully was able to perform it so well that during his ad- ministration no serious charge has been made against any of the men ap- pointed under him. During this time some of the most bitterly contested elections in the history of the county were held. In the campaigns that preceeded the elec- tions Judge Scully was with the can- didates of his own party. On election affairs be- | day, however, he alwavs proved his fairness and not a single complaint against him has come from any re- sponsible. source. Judge Scullv must with many efforts to obtain reforms in the election laws. Except for the mistake made by an engrossing clerk, employed by the legislature, for whose acts Judge Scully was in no way re- sponsible. these reforms would have been obtained and hundreds of thou- sands of dollars saved annually to the taxpayers of the county. The Judge believed that the numer- ous davs of registration entailed an unnecessary expense upon the county. He did not rely entirely upon his own also be credited opinion, but sousht the advice of others. The result was the appoint- ment of a committee of leading citizens, headed by S. S. Gregory which made recommendations for changes which were presented to the legis- lature. Throueh the efforts of Judge Scully and others. these recommendations ' were adopted and bills intended to 'make them laws were adonted. Tt was on purely technical grounds that the Supreme Conrt was later forced to decide that the Jesislature had failed WOMEN MOTOR DRIVERS SOUGHT BY GOVERNMENT Three hundred women motor driv- ers for overseas service in France are wanted by the American Red Cross within the next six months. The recruiting of these drivers will begin immediately. It is expected the first contingent will sail about October 1 for motor messenger serv- ice, ambulance service and, to a lim- ited extent, for camion service. Candidates for this service will be selected from the American Red Cross motor corps in all cities where such motor corps now exist. Volun- teers for this work are sought and the candidates must meet the re- quirements for this overseas duty as set forth by the war department--25 years of age, loyal and healty. The American Red Cross will pay the transportation and if necessary, the volunteers will be given an allow- ance of 450 francs a month for ex- penses when out of Paris, where they will be employed, principally, and 600 francs a month for expenses when in Paris. Special qualifications for this serv- ice are certificate of the first division Red Cross motor corps ambulance and truck driver, or successful pass- ing of examination in mechanics and first aid as specified for American Red Cross first division motor am- bulance and truck drivers. Women desiring to volunteer for this serv- ice are requested to make applica- tion at once to their local captain of the American Red Cross chapter mo- tor corps, where such corps exists, or to the director of motor corps of central division, Chicago, Ill. Ad- ditional calls for women drivers will likely follow. CHILDREN'S WAR PLEDGE This verse is the pledge made by the children at Winchester, Scott County, who attend the Story hour conducted by the Woman's Commit- tee of the State Council of Defense: I pledge allegiance to my flag. In service true I'll never lag, I'll not despise the crust of bread, Nor make complaints whatever fed. On wheatless days, I'll eat no wheat. On other days eat less of sweet, I'll waste no pennies, spoil no clothes And so I'll battle 'gainst the foes.
