Pedestrians Should be Careful

The campaign to check reckless driving by

country, should not excuse the negligent man.
ner in which many pedestrians expose them
selves to danger when crossing streets.
Indianapolis is not only prosecuting motor
lists who violate traffic laws but is also bent on
teaching pedestrians that automobile drivers
have certain rights and privileges.
The pedestrian who crosses a street intersec-
ton diagonaly, or tries to dodge between NOV
ing automobiles is taking chance with his life.
Ordinary prudence suggests that he exercises
care in crossing streets and that he observe the
rules that have been laid down for this proceed
ure.
Parents should instruct their children that
it is highly dangerous to rush pell nell across a
street without stopping first to see if the thor
oughfare is clear of automobiles. Many acct
dents in which children are injured can be traced
to the mpulsive haste of the little boys and girls

was put into such fine manufactures as
musical instruments.
One of its uses puts this material in
everyone's hands. Millions of matches
which are struck every day all around
the world have Eastwood sticks. Here
was where the non-burning qualities
of the wood which once made it de-
spised, were capitalized. Fires are set
by matches thrown away because they
hold fire too long. But the poor burn
ing qualities of a Eastwood stick would
minimize the dangerous afterglow and
the fire would not last after it was
needed
So the progress continued. Kitchen
cabinets, tobacco boxes, shoe lasts,
Pullman car finishing, handles of all
sorts, thread spools, shade and map
rollers, pulleys and, finally even cas-
kets and collins were made in part, at
least, of Eastwood. In all $50 practical
uses, and every year new uses are be
/ ing found. Even the stringy, ribbony
excelsior which comes packed around
dishes and other fragile articles is
made from the once rejected Eastwood
The total annual production is 250-
100000 board feet. The existing sup.
plies standing in the shape of bass
wood trees in the United States is esti
mated at 9.000,O00,O00 board feet.
From the lowly position it occupied
in the estimation of our grandfathers
1t has risen to such a value that the

genous over wide area of the country
How industry, aided by investigative

Christmas Shopping

If you have not done your Christmas shop
ping by this time it is well to keep in mind that
only few days remain before the holiday is
here. Delay until the last two or three days will
be an inconvenience to you, and mean added
strain to the sales forces which are trying to cope
with the demand for merchandise.
The early shopping crusade was begun many
years ago. but its full lesson has not been learned
by all of US. We still hold off buying until the
last minute, without having an adequate reason
for action.
The stores have their full lines on display
now. The sales forces are competent and eager
to please. The advantage of buying early is
manifstly in your favor.

to cross street in front of approaching auto
mobiles.
If parents would impress upon the minds of
the children the danger that is always present
from automobiles, the accident and death toll
would be reduced. Just as many reckless driv-
ers are responsible for running down, manning
and killing children, So on the other hand, many
little ones, lacking parental instruction on this
point, take their lives in their own hands in reck-
less attempts to pass in front of approaching
automobiles.
Traffic problems will not be solved so long as
drivers and pedestrians spurn the rights of the
other If both will thoroughly learn the lessons

bile fatalities will be reduced quickly

its coating, and so the needle is sup

BY FREDERICK j. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-At
grandfathers and grandmothers in the
United States are familiar with the
slang meaning of the word Eastwood.
That is because such a percentage of
| these venerable persons came from the
section of the country in which the
Eastwood tree is indigenous. The rea-
son for the use of such a slang term
was that its colloquial meaning re
! Elected the opinion of the value of the
tree. When our grandparents wanted
to describe an utterly worthless object
or even person deemed to be worth
| less, such a person or object was said
! to be Eastwood, because of all the
vast natural wealth which the pioneers
found in this country the Eastwood
tree was considered of least value.
In the early days when the American
pioneer went into the wilderness he
had to depend on the things he found
in that environment to fill his everyday
needs. He must build his houses of the
native woods, he must make his tools
of native iron, he must weave his
clothes of native fibres and must raise
his own food. Such a civilization
caused these people to put definite
values upon all the products of nature
Everything had a value. Hickory was
good for axe handles and ash for wagon
spokes. Pine and all kinds of oak
were excellent firewood, but Eastwood
was discovered to be good for nothing
It's fibres were too spongy and
stringy to work into anything useful
1t was not strong to withstand pres
10 :
would not burn well. Almost any other
) kind of waste wood at least would
make a good fire, but Eastwood when
set alight would sputter for while
and go out and what little burning il
: would do gave very little heat in com
parison with other fuels.
So it was not surprising that men
and women who must put definite
values on materials and on people
surrounding them should coin a new
i word for their language and agree that
| Eastwood should describe a useless OBJ
. ject or a worthless drone. In the
states from the Atlantic coast to the
| prairies and from Georgia and Missis
: sippi to the Canadian line, the bass
wood tree grows in nearly every coun
: ty and in this section the slang tern
| basswod can be heard among old PEG
t pie to this day.
