Safety
by National Safety Council

10y national SAFETY Council
Fifty feet between motor vehicles is
a safe rule 20 follow where traffic Is
comparatively light and d speed of
eighteen to twenty miles an hour is
permissible.
OF course, this is not possible or de-
sirable in congested streets where
traffic moves slowly. The chief thing
is to give yourself plenty Of room to
stop in case the driver ahead should
halt suddenly without signal The
speed at which the traffic moves, the
effectiveness of your brakes. the CON
dillon of the pavement and the weight
of your car must all be taken into
consideration and allowances made
Slippery pavements increase danger
of collisions. The modern moturist
must have the ability OF a trained
boxer IN Judging distances. A mis-.
take of a second or an inch may mean
smash. Give warning before slow
ing down. backing or turning. but do
not depend on the man ahead OF you
to give warning.
A pedestrian may stop suddenly IN
front Of his car and to avoid knocking
him through the Pearly Gates the
man ahead may have 70 apply the
brakes without taking time to give
you warning.

fl EW YORK, Dec. 24.-Herr An
I'M ton Lang, the Christus Of the
Passion Play, in a Christian
message, declares faith is the great
est possession possible for any one
in this world. He said that faith Is
to the soul what toll is to the body,
and showed me plainly he believed
without faith and work no man could
achieve happiness.
Without faith there can be moth
ing" he said. Without faith moth
Ing can be accomplished and happi-
ness can never come. Show me a
man or woman without faith and I
will show you q person who is I'M
happy.
Faith Is even more necessary to-
day than it was when life was more
simple, as in the days spoken of in
the sacred writings. What faith could
accomplish then is shown by the
blind man near Jericho, who believed
that Christ could give him back his
sight.
Faith Brings Peace
you remember, he was healed and
Jesus said: Thy faith hath made
thee whole Today many Of us would
be healed Of our hurts and peace
would be ours if we had faith.
zone of the first Insights given me
into the character Of the American
people came from a coin, dollar
think it was, that was shown me in
Oberammergau years ago. It had the
inscription, In God we trust. on It.
This struck me as a glorious thing
to tell the world. And it must be true.
for America Of all nations in the
world is the happiest and least
troubled today. Here you have peace
and prosperity and you are using your
prosperity well, for are you not giving
to all the stricken world?
America Has Faith
America has had faith and it is
such faith as this as will heal the
world She has had the courage to
follow her faith and what she has &C
compushed should renew the faith of
the other nations.
Faith should not be put of and on
Ike a coat II should be with us al
ways and should support us through
out the whole day. We Of ObeTam-
mergau came to America because we
believe and had faith In the American
people. We knew they believed in us
and knew we asked only for the OPP
portunity 10 save ouc homes by the
work Of our hands. II was really faith
that brought us to this wonderful
country.
Although it is said man does not
live by faith alone II is equally true
man cannot live and cannot be happy
or peaceful without faith"

error being discovered. If no one
does so. play proceeds as usual.
Conceal Your Hand
During play If any tile from the
wall or from a hand is exposed, II
is replaced without penalty.
There is no penalty for miscalling
a discard Thus it is wisdom to see
a discard before calling a pung or n
chow as otherwise you are without
redress should you expose your hand
thus needlessly.
No penalty attaches to misclaiming
Nah Jongg, so again it is best to keep
your hand concealed until you get to
see the Nah Jongg hand.
A reasonable amount of prompt
ness in punging and chewing is ex
pected, but a player is within his
rights in claiming pung or chow
even after the player at the right
of the discarder has drawn from the
wall and looked at the tile. But
pung or chow Is not permissible
after player has discarded, called
Nah Jongg or drawn a loose tile.
There is no penalty for calling a
pung or chow and then refusing to
pung or chow the piece.
A discard once quilted cannot be
reclaimed.
A plunged or chowed piece can
never be placed in the concealed
hand.
Correction Of Errors
If e player pungs or elbows to en-
incorrect combination. he Is allowed
to correct the error at any time
prior to his next draw If the correo-
ton can be made within his own
hand. Any correction that cannot
be made within his own hand must
be made prior to the next players
discard. If corrections are not made
in accordance with the above. the
hand is dead.
A dead hand is one which CON
tains erroneous combinations on the
beard, or a wrong number Of tiles
The dead hand finishes the play.
and can pung or chow. But It scores
nothing and must pay each other
player the total OF his score, with
the dead hand he pays double to all
A player who draws from wall
cannot pUng or chow a discarded
piece. even though he enormously
drew from the wall prior to such dis
card.
It is not necessary that sets OF
fours. the fourth Of which was
drawn from the wall, be declared
Immediately. Up to the drawing Of
the last live tile. a player may de-
clare a set OF fours whenever II IS
his turn to play. After the last
live tile is drawn. fours stiu held IN
the hand score only as threes.
When a player draws the tile
which completes his hand for Nah
Jonge. he must not mix It with con
cealed tiles, but lay II face upward
on the table. Penalty for falling to
do 50 is forfeiture Of points depend
ing upon this piece completing hand

score other than camel.
