WILL ACK CHANGE
IN TRAFFIC LAW
IN BRUNSWICK
RECENT ACCIDENTS WONLD NOT
HAVE OCCURED IF REGU-
I.ATINNS DIFFERENT.
Within the next few weeks a well
prepared and matter of fact petition
will be presented to the city commis
sioners asking for certain changes in
the ordinance regulating traffic and
especially as to motor vehicles.
It is well known that in many cities
drivers are not allowed to have babies
on th e seat with them and it is also
provided that not more than two per
sons occupy the seat at the wheel.
The movement for a change in tlv
local law wa s brought about by the
accident of which,Judge Edwin W.
Dart was th e victim, as it is under
stood that the driver of this eaa
had a little one with her and owing
to attention being given to tlie child
her mind was not on the wheel.
Judge Dart has been out for a day
or two but is still suffering from thr
many bruises he received when he
wa s struck by a car and dragged fo’
several feet.

related some of the events that
brought sorrow and sadness to the
universe. His talk was full of in

another decidedly popular feature of
the day. Judge Butts, always an
earnest talker, is at his best, when
recounting tbe stirring days of tlie

enjoyable one.
Several visitors and a large num
ber of the members of the club were

MRS FELTON NOT •
TAKE OATH AS A
GEORGIA SENATOR
EVEN THOUGH SEN. GEORGE
COULD DELAY THE MATTER
WOULDN’T HELP IT ANY
<By Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 17.—Mrs. Wiliam
H. Felton, of Georgia, may come to
Washington next Monday to sit for
at least one day as a member o'f the
sneate, but all the chances are against
her taking the oath of office. She
is now an ex-senator whose term of
office expired on the day Judge Walter
F. George was elected. Mrs. Felton
is entitled to the floor of the sen
ate, hut she cannot be sworn in as a I
senator. This was the opinion today
of more than one expert on law and
parliamentary procedure.
One of the influential members of
the senate committee on rules said to
day:
“The law seems plain on this sub-1
jfct and irrespective of the sentiment
involved, I do not see how the senate
could vote to seat Mrs. Felton even
for one day.” \
