TOO MANY ROAD ACCIDENTS

Every Sunday has its grim record
of accidents. fatal or otherwise, on
the roads of Western Washington.
These affairs have grown so COM
mon--so eXpected-by the reading
public that they constitute only rou-
tine items in the days news. We
are mildly surprised when a holiday
passes without a succession of dis
asters. We are not particularly
shocked when we read of them. 1t
requires some mishap of more than
ordinary character to elicit an ex-
preston of surprise; an affair of
particularly indefensible character
to draw sharp expression of con-
demnation and protest against con-
ditions.
1t is fact. which experienced
road and city traffic policemen will
attest without hesitation, that the
vast majority of these accidents are
due to speeding. The modern auto
mobile is almost fool proof" if
driven with care and at a rate of
speed which, though we call it
moderate, really compares with
the speed of trains.
So splendidly are our roads con-
structed, so carefully have danger
Gus curves been avoided, so we'll are
they marked with warning signs and
so deliberately are they designated
by guideposts that the motorist is
constrained only to exercise a little
prudence in order to avoid disasters
But, with these improvements has
come a lust for speed and still more
speed that renders even elaborate
precautions insufficient.
There is only one answer to this
Question-more vigorous enforce
ont of speed laws on roads, as in
the cities. The speeder can be CON
trolled. For his own good. as for
the safety of the general public, he
must be controlled more sharply

Banners LIKE COOPERATIVE
MARKETING

True cooperation is evident in the
manner in which the banker of the
Pacific Coast is aiding the wheat
grower and his organizations
longtime credit funds are vital
to the success of industry and par
ticularly to orderly marketing move
ments.
The Northwest Wheat Growers
Association was formed for the eX-
press purpose of protecting the
wheat grower against forced sale at
low prices; insuring him a fair price
without increasing the cost to the
ultimate consumer and increasing his
purchasing power. thus distributing
the benefits OF the system to all
classes.
In the past the farmer before he
became a member of cooperative
association, had to sell 70 per cent
of his wheat within 80 days after
harvest because the banks called
their individual loans at that time.
The result invariably was a break
in the market forced sale at a low
price and generally high prices later,
after the farmer had no wheat left
to sell.
This all has been changed under
the workings of the cooperative plan
and merchants and bankers in grain

becoming enthusiastic advocates of

How The Master Driver
Became Master Tire Builder

TN 1908, driving the 1899" racing
car, Barney Oldheld started his
career of victories that later
earned him the title of Master
Driver of The World" To over
come the tire weaknesses that made
racing difficult and dangerous, he
studied tires-specihed materials
supervised construction.
Today, Barney Oldheld is known
as the Master Tire Builder"
Starting with the crude tires which
carried the 1909" one mile in sixty
seconds, Oldheld gradually de-
veloped his famous Cords-a set of
which covered 500 miles at eighty
eight miles an hour without a
change.
In three years Oldheld tires have
won every important race on Amer
lean speedways. They are the only
