HOME FOR VICE PRESIDENTS
 4 Il..

I
 The question whether congress ought to accept the offer of an of- ficial home for wee presidents, which a Washington woman has made, is now under uscuss1on, and has developed considerable differ ence of opinion. It cannot be de- nied that the office of vice president has never quite found it's right place in the scheme of government. The incumbent was made president of the senate merely to give him something to do while he waited around; and although the office is of immense potential importance, the vice president is generally mere surplusage. Perhaps an official residence would make vice presi- dents feel a little more at nome and help them to maintain sense of proper dignity. But, on the other hand, the very fact that the vice president has no function related to the nature of the Office he holds would seem to make an official res idence superfluous. The president has the White House because the na- tion requires him to receive ambas- sadors and carry on an Independent branch of the government. The vice presidents official residence would be merely place where he could give an occasional dinner and warm his feet at the grate like any other citizen. His sole official duty is in the senate chamber, just as the official duties of the supreme court judges are in the court room, and there does not seem to be any bet ter reason for providing the vice president with home than there is for housing the chief justice.

Needs of Important Road

NoyIacauga AuVanceI
 One of the best needed surfaced roads in Talladega county is the road leading from Childersburg to this city. This will connect the Florida Short Line and the Annis- ton Montgomery highway with the highway leading from Wilsonville to both Birmingham and Montgomery. Saying nothing of the number of people this road would serve in con meeting the towns of Childersburg and SYlacauga.

IN UKULELELAND (Pittsbllrp Dispatch)

Peace reigns at Honolulu and the governor can resume his social func- tions without danger of clash be- tween the representatives of the United States army and navy. Many months ago he gave dinner attend ed by the major general command ing and the rear admiral of the sta- tion. Question arose as to which ranked first. Neither would give Tn. The governor appealed to the fed eral government, which referred the dispute to the war and navy depart ments, which also were unable to agree. The problem was next put up to the department of justice, which has just momentously decided that since the major general was com missioned major general before the rear admiral was made rear admiral, the army man takes the pas, the right of going before. As the war department is the senior, established in 1789, and the navy not until 179S, MT. Daugherty might have found a more general ruling. Meanwhile the governors dinner must be getting cold, even in balmy Ukuleleland.

Now is the time for all friends of the mosquito to come to the aid of their party. Shall they take up arms against this swarm of troubles, or in imagination swat them?
 That is the question.
 What to Do?
 One learns much by reading the news papers.
 One learns, for example, how to make a ready retort to thug who is armed with a knife
 Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, tells us all about it.
 When the thug, armed with knife, at tacks you, reach out with your left hand-do it with lightning speed-and grab the thugs forearm about two or three inches below the wrist bone Remember-not more than three inches below the wrist bone. If you grab lower than that you won't be able to get the needed leverage and the value of the trick will be lost.
 The instant you halt his murderous down. ward stroke, reach upward quickly with your right hand and grab him with your right hand over his knuckles.
 And then all that is necessary is to close the gates of the big house on him for long stretch.
 Which is all very well when you meet thug who is armed with knife. Practically all modern thugs carry knives. Their weap- one range from bread knives to pen-knives with finger-nail files attached.
 But in these days of scientific progress there are ultra-modern thugs who have ad- vanced beyond the knife stage of thuggery. Suppose you were to meet thug with mace, or battle-ax, or napier, or broad sword, or lance? You might be fortified against the thug armed with knife, but what matter of defense would you make against a quarter-staff or pike? ' z And how would you protect your goods and chattels against thug armed with sling or an arquebus?
 And if stick-up were to pull a halberd on you, what would be your reaction? And how would you act if an auto bandit were to threaten your life with a petard while his accomplices hid behind the adja- cent yew tree and aimed longbows at the chinks in your armor?
 What to do? What to do?
 We have heard so many complaints about the service and low pressure lately that we think it would be a good idea for the gas company to step on the gas.

any SHARE IN MAKING THE
HIGHWAYS SAFE"-SPRINGE

I wonder how many people in this
large world Of ours ever stop to think,
while they are walking down the
street, that If they recognized the
traffic regulations, they would be serv-
ing their country.
More people are killed by careless
ness in the streets than by any war,
earthquake or volcano. s15s9-
Much careIessness is the result Of
unthoughtfulness, as. when a person,
walking across the street, suddenly
remembers an article which he forgot,
and, whirling. retraces his steps just
in time to meet an automobile; and
the driver. having seen him walking
in the other direction is unprepared
for the emergency.
Another example OF carelessness IL
demonstrated by this act; two people.
crossing the street together, suddenly
come in contact with car They
separate and start in the opposite
directions and the driver of the car,
trying to avoid one, runs into the
other.
There are examples Of carelessness
illustrated Iby persons on bicycles.
roller skates, sieds, and in automo-
biles, trains, street cars and other ve-
hicles. Children whose parents allow
them to play in the streets are in con-
slant danger. There are thousands Of
ways in which people either prove
their ignorance Of traffic rules and
regulations or their utter carlessness.
might think, Il cannot help the
cause II l, alone, try" That is not
the spirit nor attitude to take about
the question. 1 should think, "If
can influence the children of my class
and they influence the little people
Of other classes, and these, united
with others will think about the mat.
ter, talk about 1t, and get some of the
people Of the town wakened up" That
is what we pupils of the public schools
in the seventh and eighth grades Of
Delta, Colorado are endeavoring to
do. We have set aside one week to
be designated as Safety Week" We
have agitated the question to such an
extent that the pupils in the afore-
said grades are preparing essays
which are to be read before the diff.
ferent organisations of this City.
America should be awakened to the
fact that thousands of lives are sacri
feed through the indifference Of it's
citizens. Can any one ever set q
price on the life Of one human being?
IT'S very old saying that, "An ounce
4 of prevention is worth a pound OF
cure" but It is more needed today
than 1t was a century ago.
Therefore, in my New Years reso.
tions will add that; hereby resolve
that:
First; will observe all traffic
rules and regulations.
Second; will assist aged people
or children when the opportunity pre-.
sents itself.
Third; I will cross o street, street
car line, or railroad track only at the
crossings the city or state has pro
vided.
Fourth; l will not drive an automo.
bile until am physically fit and Of

Fifth: I will do all that Is in my
power to protect, preserve, and obey
the rules that the cities have set
forth that ! may be true citizen Of
