SAFETY FIRST" BEST MOTTO
Habit Should Be Extended From Cities

Care Must Be Used.

Motor accidents are becoming more

expected on account of the increasing
number of cars in use. Our Observa.

accidents warrants the belief that fully
80 per cen are due to careless driving.

The safety first" habit should be OK
tended from the cities and towns to the
country. 1t is a good idea to have a
safety first tag carried on every
vehicle. This, SO that people might

to reduce the chances they take. There
must be more care exercised in the
handling of all vehicles on the road.

CHAPTER VII.
Rodney Smiled.

The next day, Rose took two steps
toward making herself her husbands
intellectual companion.
From Il university catalOg she pick
ed out the anne of half q dozen ele-
mentary textbooks on law, and then
went to II bookstore and bought them.
She had taken her determination
during the endless waking hours of
the night she was going to study law
study it with all her might.
The other step was to go and hear
Itodney's argument in court that day.
She was successful in slipping into the
ear of the cOurtrOOm-up on the
eighth floor of the Federal building
without attracting her husbands at
t@entiOn; and for W. hours and Il half
she listened. with mingled feelings, to
his argument. There was no use pre-
tending that she could follow her huS-
bands reasoning. Listening to it had
something the same effect upon her
as watching some enormous. com
plicated, smoOth-running mass of ma
chinery. She was conscious of the
power of it. though ignorant of what
made it 90, and Of what ii was ac-
complishing.
The three stolid figures behind the
high mahogany bench seemed to be
following it attentively, though they
irritated her bitterly, sometimes, by in
dulging in whispered conversations.
And, presently, he just stopped talk
ing and began stacking up his notes.
The oldest judge mumbled something,
everybody stood up, and the three stiff,
formidable figures filed out by a side
door. 1t was all over
But nothing had happened!
Rose had expected to leave the
courtroom in the blissful knowledge
of ROdney's victory or the acceptance
of his defeat. In her surprise over the
failure of this climax to materialize,
she almost neglected to make her es-
One practical advantage she had

n ratherunsatisfactor afternoon. When
she had gone home and changed into
the sort of frock she thought he'd like
and come downstairs in answer to his
shouted greeting from the lower hall,
she didn't say. as otherwise she would
have done. "How did it come out
Roddy? Did you win?"
In the light of her newly acquired
knowledge she could see how a question
of that sort would irritate him. In
stead of that, she said: You dear old
boy. how dog-tired you must be, How
do you think it went? Do you think
you impressed them? l bet you did !"
And. not having been rubbed the
wrong way by a foolish question, he
held her off with both hands for a
moment. then Rugged her up and told
her she was a trump. Il had a sort

and entrees, from one dinner to the

until Eleanor had turned the table

which practically a unanimous opin-

war.making power, should be sum

The Presiden. deliberated on the
question until late Tuesday night and

He chose April 9 because he thought

Is not known how much money Presi-

as necessary to meet the situation,

view that not less than 100000, 900

Legislation giving such a sum would
