states rights, first advocated by
John c. Calhoun in 1923, and the

TOO MUCH BAG

Between President Harding Oh the
affirmative, Senator Borah on the neg
ative, and other senators and con-
gressmen vacillating betwixt and be-
tween, the country is becoming well
fed up on the subject OF active Am
erican participation in the league OF
nations or some other kind of a world
court.
And perhaps it is just as we'll that
the subject IS being agitated on both
sides Of the fence, for W. do not
want to do any leaping without first
looking to see where we will land.
TO the average man on the side
lines, though, it would seem that we
have participated rather strenuously
as it is-partly to u sorrow.
We commenced by lending the allies
billions of dollars which have never
been repaid, and much of which prob
ably never will be repaid.
Next we entered actively into the
wal at a time when the allies were
practically facing defeat-and we
turned that defeat into victory.
Then we sold France many millions
of dollars worth of war munitions and
stores for a song, and We do not know
whether that bill has ben paid or not.
And last, at the urgent solicitation
of the allies, we kept General Allen
and his army in Germany until a
short time ago. We were to have been
reimbursed for the expense of keeping
them there, but the allies have pre-
vented such reimbursement and have
only recently sanctioned payment.
Europe is sadly in need of a court
capable of maintaining the peace and
restoring the self respect of the world,
but no such court will be of any avail
until European governments, or at
east some of them, forsake their pres
ent grasping and selfish attitudes and
return to the paths of honor among
nations and peoples.
1t the time ever comes when these
foreign governments regain their san,
.ty it is possible that the American
people will have no material objection
to becoming an active participant in
a world court.
But until we ear see some evidence
of sanity on the other side of the At
lantic we will do well to keep our
selves and our money at home.
We have held the bag long enough.

SAYS GOOD BRAKES
WOULD SAVE LIVES
lehns-ManviIIe Official As
serts Attention Would
= Avoid 1000 Fatalities.

On the basis of reports of automo
bile fatalities for 1922. J, w. Perry
general manager of the automotiv'
department of Johns-Manville, Inc.
In a statement issued from the loca'
office of the corporation today
stated 1900 automobile fatalities
might be prevented this year by re
1ieving defects in brakes He est
mated three-fourths of the fatal au
tonobile accidents could be pre-
vented by the exercise of care in the
use or brakes.
"A study in the interest of proven.
ton of accidents due to faulty
brakes, issued today by Johns-Man-
vile, is in part as follows:
=. 1t is encouraging to find that,
though the total of autombile ia
talities is on the incline, they are
not increasing as rapidly as au-
tomobiles. The total number OF
motor vehicles has increased 6f6
per cent since 1914, while the
rate of fatalities from motor We
hicle accidents has increased but
Isl per cent in that period. In
1914, one out Of every S56 au.
tumobiles was involved in q fatal
accident: in 1922, one cut Of
every 500 was so involved.
The number of fatalities from
motor vehicle accidents last year
was nearly $4,000. The number
this year probably will . be as
great. 1t is estimated rs per cent
Of these accidents are attribut-
able to defective brakes. This
means il motorists would give
their brakes the attention they
deserve, fatalities this year could
be reduced about 1900.
Steam and street railway acct
dents have shown an encouraging
decrease in recent years, and
they point the way that automo-
bile accidents will undoubtedly
90. When owners and drivers
have mastered the automobile as
the motornian and the engineer
have mastered the steam and the
see not only a relatively decreas-
ing rate Of automobile fatalities,
but also an absolutely decreasing
rate.
Since worn brakes and brakes
improperly applied are by all
edds the greatest cause Of auto
mobile accidents, any safety
measures taken in 1928 viii have
to include the subject of brakes
as a chief consideration. Drivers
should see to it that brakes are
adjusted every month, that they
operate equally on both rear
wheels and that the lining is in
9Tod condition. Both brakes
should be tested regularly before
starting, and drivers should try
them out under all possible con-
ditions to ascertain how quickly
and safely a stop may be made.
Then, in service. liberal margin
Of safety should be allowed.

In aeveral cases women drivers
