AMERICANS POOR GAMBLERS
The amount of the wealth which
every year mistakenly invested
by the people of this country in
speculative, or worse than specu
lative, securities, reaches an alarm
tog total.
It is currently estimated that at
half a billion dollars per
annum is lost by the people of the
United States through the promo
of worthless securities by un
scruplous men.
If we include the vast amounts

necessarily cheated but whose

KILLING OFF “FOOL” DRIVERS
Millions of dollars have been
expended in recent years in pro
v
viding streets and country roads
adapted to the use of automobiles.
It would be a serious reflection
upon the intelligence of )r the Amer
* r
ican people if it should be made
to appear that this expensive
plaything has been unwisely ' or
imprudently entrusted to those
who do not know how to make a
proper use of it.
When it is realized that during
a single year there were 22,621
fatalities due. to what may reason
ably be regarded as preventable
disasters on the highways, it must
be agreed, that something more
drastic than mere directory meas
ures must be adopted. Unless the
automobile clu^s themselves can
devise a way, it may be possible
that they will be deprived by law
of some of the privileges now en
joyed.
It may be true, as has been as
serted, that most of the “fools”
are being killed off, but in .the
operation the innocent are paying
a heavy toll.

New York, Nov. 1.—Another la
bor indorsement was given John
W. Davis, Democratic candidate
for president, when he returned
here last night from his home in
Locust Valley to speak at public
school No. 17.
It came from the New York city
and state allied printing councils
through an announcement' .made
public by the eastern Democratic
headquarters and followed that of
yesterday announced in a state
ment by members of the executive
council of the Central Trades and
Labor Council of Greater New
York.
Issues Statement.
In announcing its indorsement
of Mr. Davis, the New York City
Printing Council said in the state
ment issued by Democratic head
quarters: .....
“The enemies of organized labor
are well known. No member of
organized labor in his right sense
would think of voting for Coolidge
and Dawes. By this time it is
plainly evident that a vote for La
Follette means a half vote for
Dawes, the arch enemy of organ
ized labor, and his running mate,
Coolidge.
U It is now clearly established
that LaFollette cannot win. We
believe that John W. Davis Can
and will win, and we heartily in
dorse his candidacay, and we urge
all our members and all the true
friends of organized labor not only
to vote for John W. Davis but to
work earnestly and intelligently in
his behalf.” »

San Marcos, Texas, Nov. 1.—
Although she had confessed to
murdering her four step children
and admitted feeding arsenic to
her second husband, Mrs. Anna
Hauptrief, a farmer’s wife, chose
death in preference to having her
unborn babe come into the world
in the shadow of prison bars.
Upon being arrested Mrs. Haup
trief calmly admitted poisoning
the children because “I wanted
them out of the way. tf
When guards conducted their
daily inspection of. cells Friday,

IN ATLANTA GRAY
DEATH N CASE
Atlanta, Nov. 1.—Sweeping aside
the veil of mystery which has
overhung the probe into the death
of Mrs. Josephine Moore, of 103
Ponce de Leon avenue, who was
killed last Sunday in an automo
bile accident, the Fulton county
grand jury Friday identified
George Armstrong, 24-year-old
mechanic, of 935 East Lake drive,
as the driver of the “death car.”
Warrant Issued.
A few minutes after the true
bill, charging involuntary man
slaughter against Armstrong was
returned, a warrant for his arrest
was issued.
The warrant was put in the
hands of Sheriff J. I. Lowry, who
will aid in a nation-wide search
for Armstrong.
