It may be out of sight around a curve a mile ahead one minute. and less than minute later it will be directly in front of the two cars approaching from the opposite direction. There are few roads that will safely accom- modate all three cars in row.
 A Neglected Subject
 It is amazing how little this sub ject of automobile accidents has been studied. You can find nothing but scattered and conflicting opinions on the subject. And yet the problem is a most serious one. Automobiles kill more people in year in New York state than have been killed by Mexi- can bandits and rebels in years, ac- cording to one authority. In four years the number of deaths in New York city annually due to auto acci- dents increased from 4S3 to 1913. All over the country it Is the same. Auto accidents kill more people than rail- roa1 accidents and more than rob- bers. Automobiles are the greatest single cause of violent death in America, and worse than that, the number of fatalities due to them grows steadily. We are evidently ap- preaching an intolerable condition
 Yet no one seems to have found ii worth while to make a thorough an alysis of the causes of accidents, So | locating the chief factors of danger and providing basis for their con i trol.
 A study of what information on the | subject can be found brings out strongly two conclusions. In the first place, the fundamental cause of mos' accidents is speeding misuse oi the enormous power which a motor car puts in the drivers hands.

HouD To Make Crane Juice At Home

Many grapes go unused in the United Sates which might readily be conserved in the home.
 Almost every family could afford to purchase a bushel or two of grapes. This would be sufficient to make supply of grape juice for use on special occasions. while the pomace can be used in making many other home products. such as ellies. pastes, sauce, catsup and vinegar
 Grape juice requires no sugar when made from the best cultivated varie- ties, and only a little when wild grapes are used.
 The Department of Agriculture has issued an illustrated booklet giving full instructions for the home prepar- ation of unfermented grape juice.

MBertOn BEdlevS (E1 l Daily Poem N&A PARTING

In summer weather We've been together. I wonder whether
 We'll meet once more. We've gone the paces At mountain places And sandy spaces
 Along the shore. When moonlight shimmered And bright eyes gIimmered And my heart shimmered
 With fancies rare, When roguish glances Besought advances And brought romances
 Well, you were there. On city highways And country byways Your ways were my ways And you held true, By you attended My days were splendid But, summers ended,
 Goodby to youl And shall We sever Perhaps forever2 No. I'll endeavor
 To sidestep that: I'll block and clean you And on my bean, you
 Shall sit next summer
 As you have sat: And those who'ye seen you
 Will gaze thereat And say. "A hummer,"
 For when I show you
 They'll never know you.

CHILDREN VS.. HORSES
(Winter Haven Chief.)

Say. parents, how often do you visit the
schools? We venture the assertion many Of you
never have done so. Now, supposing you had a
string of blooded colts you having trained
for the track by some skilled horseman right
mere In your own town-wouldnt you so up and
see how he was getting along with the job? You
bet you would You would be there half the
time and you know it. Don't you think the train
ing OF your children for their life work of as
much Importance as you would the training OF
your string of trotters if you had one? As a
tax payer you should know how your money is
being spent, but as fathers and mothers you have
more than dollars and cents interest in our
schools. That is, if you doing your duty as
fathers and mothers.

REMOVE THE uNsleHTLY ROAD SIGNS
(Kissimmee Gazette.

Before the session of the South Florida Press
Association at Lakeland has brought the matter
of the disgusting multiplicity OF signs found
throughout the entire state along the sides of
the highway; signs of wood and tin and card;
signs advertising the excellencies of medicines
and tobacco and baking powder and pills and pur-
gatves and dog-biscut; signs nailed to trees and
posts and poles and even decorating cat;leguards
at railway crossings.
Upon nearly every important road in Florida
these to be observed, Possibly there is no
legal manner in which the mailing OF these
nauseating notions may be prohibited-yet it is
equally true there is no penalty for tearing down
every of them. In some counties the newspa-
permen tour the area for the express purpose OF
removing them. A good clawhammer and cold
chisel will do it-and one instance related
at that Lakeland meeting where the tin secured
by such a raid made fine roof for camp cot
tage.
Each member of the association pledged HIM
self to remove at every opportunity these things
which disgrace the scenery and produce UNI
pleasant remembrance upon the part OF every
tourist. 1t is easy iob-provided enough will
take sufficient interest in the desire to have
conditions attractive rather than repulsve. Ey-
cry private individual is urged to tear down these
objects. Between Kissimmee and Orlando there
are more than thousand OF them; some trees
carry half dozen of this of advertising
which is really not legitimate; and every man
who believes that an improvement would be made
by the removal is urged to cooperate in the
movement-until each highway shall present
better appearance and become sgnless road.

FEDERAL ANTLLYNCHING LAW

Opposition to the proposed federal anti lynch
ing law is discredited by the ncontestable fact
that the states have not stopped the crime of
lynching 1t is not worth while TO invoke the ghost
OF state sovereignty, Local authorities in all parts
of the country have had fifty years in which to
demonstrate their ability to deal with this subject.
They have had all the power they needed or de-
handed They have failed.
Lynching is blot on cur national character.
1t is staining our reputation among the whole fam
lily of nations. Some power strong enough to deal
with it must be found and the states having utterly
failed it only remains for the federal government
to take it in hand or confess that the spirit of lynch
law is stronger than the spirit of the American
constitution.
So far the pending measure is concerned, it
seems to be based en- correct principles 1t holds
local authorities to strict accountability and i'm
poses heavy penalties upon counties in which the
crime is perpetrated. If there is any ether way to
approach the subject we do not know what it is
Lynch law draws its life blood from public
sentiment. 1t is social as well as an individual
crime. Everybody who approves, toerates or helps
to cover it up by shielding its perpetrators from
punishment is particeps crimins;" and, sad as the
confession may be, that includes the most of US in
great many localities If congress passes this
measure it will only be carrying out the wishes of
the more enlightened leaders of both political par
ties as we'll as serving the general cause of law and
order IF this narticular nlan fails another can bo
tried. In any event, lynch law must go.

SECRET SESSIONS

Twenty million Americans it is said, have pc
toned for open sessions of the armament confer
ence Many more millions are ready to do SO.
There is no excuse for installing the sentiment of
this country
OF course the sessions will be secret. The rul-
ers of no country on earth today dare 10 let the
people know what they are doing. American men,
bers of the conference may make. grand stand
play for publicity, letting the foreigners bear the
odiom of defeating it; but if it depended solely
upon them, or at least upon the Washington gov
eminent, the meetings would be just as secret as
any other similar conference has ever been.
Nevertheless, the public should insist upon its
demand. 1t has a right to know what is done
and all the reasons therefore. 1t has right to a
full understanding of all the motives underlying our
national diplomacy and foreign policy 1t sup
plies the men and the money for wars. 1t has a
right to know what the wars are for
1t should be especially nssent at this time, be-
cause, unless the governments of the world do
something to relieve the people of their ntoerable
burdens the time can not be far distant when the
people will take the matter in hand themselves
They have the power when they choose to use it.
War is game which, were their subjects wise,
kings would not play at, says the poet The peo-
pie may have had more wisdom pounded into
them in the last seven years than anybody sus-
poets.
