ARE THEY "sELF-HYPNOTIZE

writer in automobile Journal says good
many motor accidents be attributed only to the
"sef-hypnotsm" Of the driver, and he relates sew
eral incidents in point. According to his theory
there is a mysterious something in the motion of
the rapidly proceeding that deadens the senses
at time when they ought to be unusually alert.
He has seen an expert chauffeur allow his to
crash head-on into another coming from the OPP
posite direction and yet the man had his eyes wide
tracted from the Job OF driving.
Whatever there may be to this theory certain
ly an increasing number Of motorists are utterly
obvious to the rules both of the law and of COM
mon courtesy and safety in the operation of their
cars writer mentions the following classes of
dangerous and inconsderate drivers:
The man who leaves his empty stand in a
busy street all day long; the man who turns a
corner at Is miles an hour after single toot of
the horn, giving the pedestrian no chance the man
who fails to stop back of the building line when
halted by crossing cop; the man who passes to
the left Of trolley car whether the street is empty
or crowded. the man who refuses to stay In the
traffic line and persists in edgng ahead of the man
in front of him; the man who uses the left side OF
the street roadway to get ahead of the line; the
man who intending to turn a corner, rushes up
alongside the the right, thrusts out his hand
swings across the front Of the other and compels
the latter driver to make his stand on its nose
to prevent a collision; and the worst nuisance of
ALL the whose passengers stick their hands
out in all directions leaving you to guess whether
he intends going the right left or up in the air.
There is no law to reach some of these offenses
others are amenable. Every careful motorst is In
teresed In the observance Of the ordinary rules OF
the road. The majority careful. For the sake
of the general safety there ought to be some way
to make all toe the mark

CORRUPT PRACTICES.

No one can be found who will defend corrupt
political practices Now and then an apologist is
found who says they are a political necessity in
order to combat the methods of the opposition.
Yet no one will defend political corruption, although
many men, and some women, who are honest
enough in their private relations, will indulge in
such practices, or wink at them.
When political party degenerates to the point
where it will refuse to pass act regulating COR
rupt practices or will dupe the public by misead-
ing 1t with a law forbdding the practices but omit
ting any adequate penalty for violation that party
is unworthy of popular esteem or support. These
practices are sometimes countenanced by political
leaders.
New Mexico must have corrupt practices act
with teeth in it. The Opposition" must be put in a
position where it dare not resort to such methods
Then the apology for them counter-irritant
will be unnecessary.
Crowding the polls, budozng election Officials
stuffng ballot boxes and buying votes must be
made an unhealthy pastme. There can be no de-
cency in elections until these practices are stopped
In the recent election the state campaign COM
mittees of both parties discountenanced these
methods Yet they went on, in isolated cases.
Both parties should commit themselves to law
which will meet this disgraceful situation

The small colleges reporting increased en-

for college men is making them putin their time

and it seems obvious that in time of business de-

hesitate to add the cost Of year at college to their
already overburdened budget unless 1t were regard

The past year has been difficult one for recent
graduates. Men from scientific and technical

training have found 1t difficult to obtain work

doesn't mean much this year. Our night watch
is a college graduate"
The immediate conclusion from this statement
might be that the college course had been wasted.
But that young probably will not be night

and his fellows may be discouraged at present, they

young men from seeking that same college course

When the revival Of business and industry comes,
these men will be ready to undertake bigger jobs
and make earlier advancement than If they had
neglected their opportunity for further training
now. college graduates may have spent the sum-
delivering ice acting night Waterman or
performing other lowly tasks. but the very fact
that they secured and held those Jobs against other
competitors is indicative of their spirit and pro-
phetic of future achievement.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
ANTS.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Once upon time as Uncle Wig
gily was getting ready to hop from
his hollow stump bungalow to go
look for an adventure In the woods
he asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
WuZzy:
wouldn't you like to come
along with me and have some ex-
citement?"
mo, thank you." answered his
muskrat lady housekeeper. Being
chased by a wolf or fox isn't my
idea of a good time"
ooh, but have lots and lots of
adventures besides those of being
chased by bad animals" said the
bunny. Come, and perhaps we
may find a poor. cold grasshopper
whom you may bring home to help
spread the slices of bread when
you give o'clock tea"
How can grasshopper spread
slices of bread?" asked Nurse Jane
curious-like.
by standing on his front legs
and kicking with his hind legs
against a pat of butter with the
slices of bread lying on the table
near him." answered Mr.. Long
ears.
"Nonsense!" laughed Nurse
Jane. II don't believe I care for a
grasshopper bread spreader."
well, come along and maybe I
can find a cricket who can play
the fiddle with his left hind leg.
so you and I can dance!" spoke
the bunny.
mo, Now laughed Nurse Jane.
"T'd like to go with you, but /
must stay home and do some
sweeping. You toddle off, Wiggy,
and tell me about your adventure
when you get back"
So Uncle Wiggily hoped oft

through the woods and over the
fields. But, look around as he
did, not an adventure could he
find, and he was very sad and dis
appointed.
'I'll have nothing about which
to tell Nurse Jane" said Uncle
Wiggily to himself. as he turned
back toward his hollow stump
bungalow. He reached it safely,
and as he entered he saw, on a
chair, a pan of dust from the
floor, where Nurse Jane had
placed it to throw away. The pan
was almost filled with dust, for
the bungalow had not been swept
In week.
"But where is Nurse Jane?"
asked Uncle Wiggily as he looked
around. II suppose she was called
out by one of the neighbors before
she had time to empty the dust
pan. Well, she went to help some
one, as she often does, 80 I'll help
her. I'll empty the dust pan"
The bunny rabbit gentleman was
Just going to do this when, all of
sudden, he heard some voices
crying:
"Oh, we never can get them
home! Oh, what shall we do? We
never can get them home"
Goodness mel" thought the
rabbit gentleman. II wonder If
some one is trying to make Curly
and Floppy Twistytail and Speakie
Squealer, the pig children, go
home. Little pigs are very hard
to make do that. must see what
1t Isl"
Out of his bungalow hoped
Uncle Wiggily, and SO very fast
that he knocked the pan Of dust
down from the chair. 1t fell to
the floor, scattering dirt all over
the clean place which Nurse Jane
had swept.
"Oh, now I've done IT." said I'm
Gle Wiggily. Nurse Jane will
scold me for spilling her dust. But
I was in such a hurry to help the
little pigs. I'll sweep up the dust
when I come back"
Out of the bungalow hoped the
bunny, but he found no little pigs
who needed driving home. In
stead he saw some little ant ladies
who were trying to carry home
some kernels of grain which they

wanted to store away under
ground, in their home, for winter.
But the kernels of grain are so
large we never can get them
home!" sighed the ant ladies.
"They are too heavy for us!'
ooh, I'll help you! I'd just love
to help you!" said Uncle Wiggily.
With his paws he brushed down
the holes Of the ants houses the
piles of grain kernels.
ooh, thank you! Thank you!"
whispered the ant ladies, for, be-
ing very small, they had tiny
voices, vow know. Perhaps we
can help you, Uncle Wiggily." they
went on.
I'm afraid not" spoke Mr..
Longears. And now l must leave
you, fdr I knocked over Nurse
James pan Of dust on the clean
swept floor, and she'll scold If she
sees it."
whats that you say?" cried
one of the ant ladies. Dust or
the floor? Oh, this is just where
we can help you. We can easily
pick up grains of dust, as they are
small and light. Come, friends,

will help Uncle Wiggily who was

FALLS BAD TASTE.

The Hon. A. B. Fall, Secretary of the Interior
was an Albuquerque visitor for few hours last
week. He did not honor the Journal with CALI
We merely noted his presence in the city. His
presence created no interest. But his comments
did An evening paper quotes him as follows:
"'There will be no legislation pushed through
congress this session. No matter what politicians
have pron,sed nothing will go through congress
until the administration has mapped out COM

"Mr Fall stated that the president alone was

five hundred thousand ants crawl
ed into the bungalow, and, crawl
ing about, picked UP every grain
of dust the bunny had spilled. The
floor was soon as clean as new
dinner plate, the dust being put
back on the pan by the ants.
"Oh, thank you so much!" called
Uncle Wiggily, as the ants crawled
away. And just as the bunny
emptied the pan of dust in the coal
bin, Nurse Jane came back.
"Oh, so you are helping me
