OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THE CHILD AT THE WHEEL _ | *As long as irresponsible children are allowed to drive auto- i mobiles the accident toll will be high. » In Chicago, in March, two cars collided. Inone were two-re- sponsible citizens of mature years. One of them was killed, the other seriously injured,. In the second car were a group of achool children, one of whom was driving, The jury found that “the accident was due to the youth and inexperience of the driver, who was only 14 years of age.” At the trial her father admitted that she had been driving for four years, ever since she was 10. K Most states have laws forbidding the operation of cars by children under 15 or 16 years of age, which is plenty young enough. ‘In most states, as'in Illinois, the law is broken every day. y 4 'A young child.can learn the mechanical process of operat- ing the ordinary cars. He has not, however, the judgment nor the presence of mind to warrant his being allowed to drive. If an accident happens, no matter what the circumstances, sus- picion will be directed toward the youthful driver. For his own sake as well as fon thd public safety the child should be kept from the wheel.—Brainerd Dispatch. —_————— . BEMIDJI EDUCATORS ORGANIZE The formation of a local unit of the National Educational association by educators in Bemidji confirms the fact that in education as in any other line of endeavor co-ordination and joint effort are necessary to accomplish best results. Problems arise in localities in the teaching profession as well as any other business or profession and periodic conventions of teachers and educators are necessary to arrive at the methods jbest suited to the conditions, The aim of the unit is to secure proper representation at the National Education conventions as well. The local unit in their assembly selects their representative to the National con- vention thus ensuring the placing before it matters of vital im- portance pertaining to this district. The matter:of education is gradually: receiving the recog- nition to which it is entitled and which it has'been denied for a long time, e (e THOSE SKIRTS AGAIN . /And now comes another indictment of the shor skirt. Press dispatches disclose that while short skirts are claimed to have decreased accidents to women they have increased acci- dents to men. Men just won’t look where they are going or go where they are looking. Oh, well, from the present height of fashion and the tendencies to a greater height, men will soon be able to look up again. We notice Paris women are fearful of the supply of men running out and are wearing their clothes longer again. They evidently found out long ago ‘about those accidents| to men édnd are taking precautions. v m S W REAL HELP The local post of the American Legion deserves the highest commendation: for their efforts in connection with the case of Arthur ‘A. Beck, former Western Union operaton at Bemidji, who, some time ago, was forced to give up his position on ac- count of sickness and later was sent to Lake Julia sanatorium. In giving assistance to Mr. Beck.and securing for him $2,000 in back compensation due to his disability: incurred, they have placed him in a position where fianncial worries' need not ham- per him ni receiving proper medical attention for himself and adequate care for his family.

States in 1903 was $66.88. In 1913 it had grown to $97.62. In 1919 it was $118.28. It is still climbing.. The average municipal debt to- day is just about twice as big, per person, as it was 18 years ago. The actual amount is impressive—it amounts, in 1921, to: over $600 ver family.

Moreover, if the style is clumsy, are you sure that you can see what he means? You cannot be quite sure. And at any rate, you cannot see dis- tinctly.
