OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
ENFORCE THE AUTOMO
BILE LAWS FOR ALL
VIOLATORS.
It is a violation of the state laws
to allow a child under 1b years of
age to drive an Automobile and
this law should be enforced.
But there are other violations of
Hie lew concerning Automobiles
that should be as strictly enforc
ed as 1 he former violation.
Persons who race on the streets
and turn corner’s running 40 miles
an hour are as dangerous or more
so than the boys and girls under
lb Those running cars intoxicat
ed on the streets and public high
ways are greater violators than
the young drivers and a stop
should be put to it.
The time has come when the

The Slogan of tbe organization
for this movement its “Like a

of God,” and tbe Army idea is
carried out in that the women who
will have special charge of the
work in the State, Counties and
Cities will be known as “Cap

the State Work will he termed
“Chief of Staff,” those in charge
of Counties “Head Captains,’

ed that with the united efforts of
all W. <'. T. I', women, the great
