teach school children and adults how
to eliminate the mere than ten thou
sand deaths which result each year

Governor Edwards observes, are
likely to increase as time goes on
and motor vehicles become o
and more common. The papers, he
says, give Gin concise form the story
of present day accidents. which most
fo%rcefully impress all of us with the
necessity for are and diligence in
the use of Il streets and highways"

THE RHYMING

while others board a motor car for

when planning my excursion, for
when the sun Of August glares j

fresh, untrodden sites where only
I would ramble through freezing
days and colder nights I'd skate
about and gambol. My August
choice would be a place devoid OF
leafy bowers, where not bird

no trees or flowers. But / would
settle full of cheer upon my ice
berg dwelling for full a fourth of
every year with Joy beyond all
telling. with ice above and ice
below in rainbow colors glowing,
III daily revel in the snow with
zero breezes blowing. There'd be
no envy in my soul for any sea
side pleasure, for with my iceberg
at control I'd ask no other treas
ure. While people In my own home
State were weeping daily, nightly
with heat-waves up to ninety, I'd
shake and shiver slightly. With
ear-muffs Of the latest style and
bear-skin robe to warm me, I'd
float upon my icy isle where heat
could never harm me. I'd think
of former tragic times with ice
men harsh and cruel who took a
stock of hard-earned dimes for
every icy jewel. A tea-cup full for
SO cents, that's how 1t was retail
