Failure to Look
ii i i n
is neia as oar
to Recovery
Driver With Right of Way Eas Duty
to Avoid Collisions, According
To Supreme Court Ruling.
That the district court of Lancas
ter county was correct In directing a
verdict for defendants in the damage
suit brought by Anton Nelson against
Eric Plautz and others, was the con
clusion announced by the supreme
court Thursday in an opinion by
Justice Goss. The court be-
Action had its origin in a colli-
intersection of the Emerald and Mal
olm highways. Five were in the Nel
son car and two in that of Flautz.
Judge Goss Eays if both cars had been
driven with due care, there would
have been no collision.
The court has never before passed
upon the question of whether failure
to look would amount to more than
jmere negligence, but Judge Goss says
that to apply a rule to the contrary
would be an invitation to the careless
and reckless driver to continue in
the exercise of those qualities. In
these days when automobiles in
greater number and frequency cross
even unimportant intersections, it is
the duty of the court to state, when
such situations come before it, such
rules of law as will aid in the safety
of the highways.
The driver of plaintiff's car. he
says, had tne opportunity to jook
when by looking he could see that
defendant's car was coming at such
a speed as would endanger plaintiff's
car and its occupants, if it proceed
ed into the intersection without stop
ping or slowing down. Preventive
action was easy. It would have been
effective. lie took no action what
ever. This made him negligent in
the circumstances as a matter of law.
It i3 true that plaintiff's car had
the right of way, other things be
ing equal, but that did not do away
with the duty of its driver to exer
cise due care to avoid negligence on
his own part.

There are many dwarf annuals
good for edgings besides sweet alys

wants a change from these two fa

been developed by breeding taller
Sowers to produce dwart, compact
bushes.
There are now ssveral varieties of
dwarf marigolds which grow only 4
to 6 inches high. They have rangy
branches which make a wider edging
than alyssum, but are no less attrac
tive for the puipose. Zinnias of the
lilliput or midget strains are excel
lent. They are taller than the mari
goldo, but are more useful in that
they can be used for cutting. The
tiny blossoms seem to stand as
straight as their huge relatives, and
have proportionately long stems,
making ideal flowers for small de
corative cut flower arrangements.
Gilia tricolor is another rare and
