Expelled From France a Paris, France, -Sept. 3.?William Randolph Hearst, American publisher of a chain of newspapers, owner of the International News Service, and several magu/.ines, was expelled from France Tuesday by the French government. The reason for this net was given us Hearst's attitude towards France and because of the so -called "Horan" incident in 1 928 when ii Hearst reporter obtained arid published a secret document relative to the Franco-English naval negotiations. (fours! is said to have made the following remark after being ordered out of France: "I am like the man who was told that he was going blind and who said that he did not mind as he had seen everything anyhow. In fact the whole affair reminds me of the story of the rather effeminate young man who went to call on his best girl. He found her in the arms of another fellow. The youth wont into the hall, took his rival's umbrella and broke it, and suid, "Now I hope it rains." The Call of The Outdoors Washington, Sept. 4.?The call of the outdoors was strong enough during the season of 1928-29 for 6,425,000 persons to take out hunting, fishing, or combined hunting and fishing licenses for which they paid more than $9,.TOO,000. The number of licenses decreased slightly as compared wt?h the season of 1927-28, when 6,462,550 licenses were issues!, but the fees then, $9,888,173 we're less. Figures made public Tuesday at the bureau of biological survey showed that New York led the states in the number of licenses. Pennsylvania was second. ' The biggest and best state fair ever held will be this year's, Paul V. Moore, secretary of-the annual state festival, said in Columbia Friday.

Franklin D.

A physician said ho died of a heart attack. Indications were he was stricken as he drove his cur otito the bridge. John 1>.

Dr. Harper drove hi automobile into the driveway of ai undertaking establishment and sho himself twice through the head. Sailing aboard the liner Brente Saturday for a six weeks' busrncs and pleasure trip in Europe, Henr Ford predicted an early end to th present business depression. He sai the depression might outlast lVt< ber, but that business now was l>ette ' than two years ago. He ascribe the growing prosperity to the peopl ' substituting "thinking" for speculi ting.r Baby is Killed By Speed Cop Hazard, Ky., 8ept.0.?The twentymonth#-old daughter of Mr. and Mr*. Charles Maggard, of Hard Burley, died In' a hoapitai here tonight of a bullet wound received while riding with her parents in an automobile. B, K, iiill. chief of the Hazard five department, who has a special duty job as a speed officer, was jailed charged with the shooting. Deputy Jailor Luther Combe said he understood that Hill said he fired to frighten the Maggards to a stop, and had no intention of hitting anyone lit the car. The Maggards were on their way from Hazard to their home at Hard Hurley aboutj five miles distant. The shoojbing occur rod near Walkertown, about one mile out of Hazard. They immediately returned to the hospital but the chihl died upon arrival. Hill surrendered to Ferry county officers. A crowd gathered in front of the hofepital after the child was broughtin and news of the shooting spread. Fear of violence caused Perry county Officers to refuse permission for anyone to interview Hill. The child was riding 'on her mother's lap when shot. The bullet penetrated her back just under the left shoulder hlude. The Maggards denied they had been speeding. "Auto intoxication," Eh? It is an old saying that to really krx>w a person one should know him while he is drunk. There is a tradition to the effect /that the state of intoxication strips the veneer off a man ami reveals him to his comrades for what ho really is. Whatever may be the merit in that tradition, the thought comes to mind as one reads the declaration of the ( president of the New York Automobile Club to the effect that the chief menace in motor travel is the."road hog," and that the great need in our motoring relations is a "return to the old-favshionod courtesy which prevailed in the days of the horse and buggy" Everybody knows what the "road hog" is. He may be described, in brief as one who forgets all the ordinary rules of courtesy on the road, and goes ahead regardless, whenever he m?y happen to believe he has the "right of way" and without regard to the convenience or safety of other travelers on the road. And there Ls little question that this sort o? thing causes a lot of accidents. And it is a strange thing that many people who in their ordinary business ami social relationships are courteous and considerate onougjr, forget all these social obligations to the rest of humanity when they get out on the street or highway with an automobile. It may be that-'motor driving, as well as getting liquored up, reveals the true man, and serves as a means of differentia-ting those who are inherently courteous and considerate from those who have merely put on courtesy as a kind of social veneer. Maybe this is a kind of "auto-intoxication," instead of the traditional liquor intoxication, that brings to light the boor. However, it is true that a real gentleman will be a gentleman whether in the drawing room or on the highway. and those who would be regarded as gentlemen will have to conform their highway conduct to the same standards they observe in the drawing room. Consideration of other people is a primary factor in promoting safety on the highways. "Old fashiofted courtesy" if universally observed, would do tvonders in reducing our appalling accident and death rate, and make motor touring a joy instead of a jeopardy. But the question is: how to get people to show the traits of the real gentleman on the highways as well as in places where they feel the obligation to evidence, courtesy and consideration for ot.hei people ? - (Ireonville News.
