Chicago and New York. A VACATION TRIP TROUGH OLE KAINTUCK conditions on the highways. You will save money in gasoline consumption, repair bills, taxes and insurance costs and, above all, you will save lives. So many, prominent and mable people come from Kentucky to Indiana that my curios ity was aroused to the extent of conceiving the bold and haz ardous plan of looking over the famous state. Perhaps a few comments on the land of wine, women and song will not be uninteresting to those of our number who have emigrated from that state, either willingly or upon compulsion.
A Two miles south of Hodgenville the federal government has erected a beautiful memorial over the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. The dedication: Here, over the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was bom, destined to preserve the Union and free the slave, a grateful people have dedicated this memorial to unity, peace and. brotherhood among the states. in as Old Rem John Joyce would have been in paradise In the old state capital building in Frankfort, with its statues of famous men from Daniel Boone to Henry Watterson and Its out-of-date guns, swords, pistols, knives, 6 SPEED AND YOUR POCKETBOOK Excessive pressure on the accelerator has sent thousands of automobile passengers, drivers, and pedestrians hurtling to destruction, and jis responsible for, more than half of our 30,000 deaths and 850,000 injuries annually, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and 'Surety iUnderwriters. Thus far, humanitarian considerations appar- (ently have hot impressed drivers as reason for exercising greater care in regardfto speed.
How-ever, recent investigations of Clarence P.

The subject of safe speeds is everywhere controversial, but it is agreed that conditions on the highway must govern acceleration. It is fre- quently as dangerous to drive slowly on an ex- press highway as it is to speed, through congested districts. Speeds in excess of 45 miles per it is said, are almost always in the danger zone. Drivers, moderate your speeds to suit them to It is not unlike a communion with patriotism to drink from ONE FOR THE BOOKS The State of Indiana paid one man $153 and another $115 for their services for the week ending today and received in return next to nothing. The Hon.
Sherman Minton, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, who still draws $115 a week for acting as public counsellor to the public service commission, devoted the entire week in the interests1 of his campaign. The Hon. Paul V. Mcnu*tt, who receives $153 a week in salary for being Governor, rested at the Dunes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, got on a yacht Thursday described as the most luxurious on the Michigan City waterfront," sailed to the Chicago fair to hear a 19-gun salute, and spent Friday and Saturday at West Lafayette at an outing of editors. Mr.
Minton spent Monday'and Tuesday making campaign speeches in Fort Wayne and other Northern Indiana cities, Wednesday in Conners-ville, Thursday and Friday in Lake county where he conferred Uth local Democrat leaders regarding possibility of his electoin. Ironically enough, both gentlemen departed on their tours last Saturday which was the last day for paying the April-May-June quarter of the gross income tax, a creature of the Mcnu*tt ViQ the spring which furnished water and all those things that profes- 'for the Lincoln household.
