r ,TTPgnAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1929. •x-s-*-**** • * *jv | Speed in | | Michigan f * • X By RING LARDNER { V . *:»w** * * * To the Editor: \bout a couple of three weeks ago t i ,d occasions to go from Goshen, 1;. i ana, to the old home town, Niles, A ‘, iV ij. and we decided to take the >!', higan division of the big 4 on acct ,V; it not taking as long like the in u'-rurban and when I enjoy a exper iU.e like that 1 always feel like I o udit to tell my readers so as they V.;' e njoy it 2d hand you might say. t “\y C 4l, in the Ist place, we called up ~v Goshen station about 3 o'clock in ( ! e n. ni. and found out what time .l.e train left but the employees was hV'iuo takeing their siesta, but finely I we nt over myself in person and tv ad him in and I says what time J the train go So Niles? So he says -Well, it's due to leave here at 5:11 nit -t I was you 1 wouldn’t get down iiere at that time because it don’t hardly ever leave here at that time. If l was you I would call me up along about 5 and I will try and tell you how late she is.” So I asked him how could a train <ret late that only came from Indiau apolis and the time table give it all day to do it in, and he said he didn’t know no whys or wherefores but he had been working there a good many yrs. and his advice to me was not to g et there at train time. So I took his word for it and santered down to the station about % after 5 and sure enough he was in and 1 asked him how was the train and he said it was ou time and I said: “Oil, it’s gone?” ' So he says, ‘‘No, it’s only 20 minutes late and when it comes that close to on time what is the use of finding fault with it and calling it late.” Well along about 5:35 there was a big seismic disturbance and sure enough along she come and we was standing ou the station platform waiting and after she was drawed up along side of us I and my collar looked like a Republican delegate from Ga., but anyway we dumb aboard and set down in a red plush seat and there was 2 other passengers on the train including a man from the House of David and his wife. I don't know if you know what the House of David or not. WsJij it’s a sex that lives id Benton Harbor, Mich., and it’s religion is that as long as you don’t sin you don’t die. Very few of them lives to be 100 but I could easily live to be that age if I didn't have to fret my life away shaving every A. M. Well this guy parked his head and whiskers on his Mrs. shoulder to take a nap and I thought she’d be tickled to death. Well along about this time we come to Elkhart and it was still broad daylight yet and the sun was shin ing in the golden west, but in come a brakeman dressed in a fedora hat and a mufti and a pair of shoes that had been working on the railroad all the livelong day and be pulled down all the shades on the sunny side of the car and lit a acetylene light and the lady with me says: “What in the world is he doing that for.” So I says: ‘He believes in saveing daylight.” She laughed heartily. Wile we was in Elkhart the crew found out that we was only about 25 minutes late and it would not do to spoil a record so we set around there for about V 2 a hr. trying to get back to normal and finely the conductor come in and I asked him what time we was due in Niles and he looked in a book and be said we was due there at 6:35 so I asked him why did he half to look in a book to find out and he said: ‘‘Well if you was conducting a train that hadn’t never got no place when it was due how could you remember when it was due anywheres? If you had asked me what time when it was going to get in Niles instead of what time we was due there I could of told you without looking in no book.” Well, the next station is Granger where the Grand Trunk crosses and they have built a uew Union Station that will bold 5 or 6 people but never does, but the train has to stop a long while there on the theory that they wight be somebody on the Trunk Line Hint's so desperate that they want to transfer, but nobody did and I said, ‘Now we won’t have no more stops tili we get to Niles,” bat just before we come to that metropolis a bird with a re<) tiag come out on the track and stopped us and it seems like they was a freight coining in the opp. direction en the same and only track and 1 or the oi her of us had to back on to a sideing because they didn’t neither ,j ne of us have the courage to try conclusions.

OVER THE LINE $ An Article That Girls Should Read and Profit By—Does Not Always Pay to Cross the State Line to Get Married. (By Wickes Wamboldt, in Charlotte Observer) A beautiful, charming, talented young woman whom I know is a phy sical wreck because she crossed a state line to get married. That sounds like superstition or an automobile accident—but it is neither. This young woman did not realize what it was all about when the young man to whom she was engaged suggested that they run over to an other town, in another state, and get the knot tied there. She did ask him why not have the ceremony per formed at home, but he said it would be fun to slip away and get married —and there would be no wedding fuss. It was not long after the two had been joined in the holy bonds of ma trimony that the young woman dis covered to her horror, that she had contracted from her husband a vi cious, deadly disease. Then she real ized why he had wished to be married in an adjoining state. His own state would have required him to pass a strict medical examination before issuing him a marriage license. And he knew he could not pass such an examination. The adjoining state exacted no examination. The young woman divorced her unfit husband. But that was like locking the barn after the horse had been stolen. Her health is gone and OPEN A CHECKING ACCOUNT AND PAY BY CHECK No need to be embarrassed through the lack of forethought on the part of ‘ i friend husband not leaving enough money before he goes to work. Open a checking account in your own name and then you can pay all bills by check. THE BANK OF MONCURE her years will be shortened. States which require pre-marital physical examinations lose many marriage license fees to states which require no such examinations. The fact is used as an argument against a state’s having legislation designed to protect untainted women from tainted, unchivalrous men. “What’s the use?” say the objec tors. “They will go over the line and get married.” Because a law can be evaded, and is sometimes evaded, is no valid reason for not having the law. If a law is a good law, it should be kept on the statute books. Constant ef fort should be made to enforce it; and to persuade other common wealths to adopt it and enforce it. More pure, healthy women are contaminated by impure, diseased husbands than is dreamed of by the world in its philosophy. Physicians dp not always call spade a spade. They frequently tell a married woman that she has one ailment when really she has another that they do not like to name. Girls are better informed these days than they used to be. They are more aware of certain important facts. Some - girls insist on their prospective husbands taking a medi cal examination—whether the law so orders or not. But to make such a demand is rather embarrassing. An adequate state law prevents such embarrassment. Os course there are black-sheep physicians who will falsify health certificates—but they do not constitute a serious problem. If I were a girl living in a state requiring a pre-marital medical ex amination, and the young man to whom I was engaged should suggest that we be married in an adjoining state where no such examination was necessary, I should view him with grave suspicion. <g> FOR SAFETY’S SAKE “Say what you will about the Scotch, but when the call for con tributions goes out, Sandy is the first man to put his hand in his pocket.” “Yes, and he keeps it there until all danger is over.” ® SAVED All eyes were strained at the daring aviator in the clouds. Then a shout of alarm went up. “The para chute! It won’t open! He’s falling!” “Don’t worry,” admonished the bird man’s best friend. “He’s got on rubber heels.” — «$» MAN OF THE WORLD “Didn't you give any of your candy to Joan?” asked mother. “Nah,” replied small Bobby. “She’s the kind of a girl that men forget.” let GOLDSTON BROTHERS Sell Your Land Phone, Write or Wire Today GOLDSTON, N.

SURE TO GROW OLD \ It s hardly possible to guard against growing old, but there is opportunity to avoid NEEDY and DEPENDENT old age. This safeguard is THRIFT. Many people seem willing to drift along from day to day and take chances on the future. Then when so old they can no longer toil for a livelihood, they find them selves dependent upon charity, not a happy outlook by any means. The time to begin saving is now, while you are earning. \ IHi BANK OF GOLDSTON HUGH WOMBLE, Pre*. T. W. GOLDSTON, Cashier GOLDSTON, N. C. PAGE THREE
