who is using the street crossing. The
discouraging thing is that these fatal
traffic accidents are growing more
frequent in the crowded cities in
stead of less frequent. In 1915 the
number of such accidents in Chicago
was 1875. In 1922 it was 1872. In
1923 it was more than 400. In each
only seven months of the year, from
January to July inclusive. Of course
there are more and more automo-
biles in use all the time and perhaps
that fact should be taken into ac-
count in considering the growing
death list. We have not recently
seen any figures that cover the whole
United States showing the total
death list from automobile traffic, but
we are convinced that the slaughter
is as great as it would be if the ma
ton were at war with some first class
power. land unquestionably a con-
siderable proportion of this slaughter
could be eliminated if drivers of auto
mobiles and their victims could be
cured of carelessness, and hade to
realize that the modern motor a
needs to be handled with skill and
caution. Under the law the foot pas
senger at street intersections has the
right of way, and it is the duty of
the motorist to keep out of his way
instead of his duty to keep oIt of
the motorists way, but very few
drivers proceed on that theory and
the foot passenger on the street cross
ing p~rudently yields the right of way
to the car. The driver seems often
to think that his full duty is per-
when he gives a toot of his
to warn the foot passenger to
the track for him. Preaching
Toes not seem to do much good in
his matter, but the efforts of the
Chicago Tribune to bring home to
he citizens of Chicago the extent of
his evil is certainly to be commend

ENOUGH TO MAKE US THINK

The reckless speeding that is done
on the streets of this and many other
towns, and the accidents that result
on Reckless Motor Driving, reprint
ed below from the Great Falls Trib-
une, appropriate. The alarming in
crease in the number of deaths and
injuries should be enough to make
both drivers and pedestrians give
serious thought to the ways of avoid
ing these distressing accidents, for
nearly all are %avoidable. The Trib5
une says:
Propaganda against reckless driv-
ing of automobiles in crowded streets
by the newspapers and through other
agencies to educate public opinion
does not seem to have much effect.
The Chicago Tribune the other day
published a half page of portraits of
victims who lost their lives in Chi
cago and Cook county under the
wheels of motor cars during a period
of seven months. There were forty
eight photos published but that was
only about ten per cent of the vic
tins. The names of the other 80
per cent were published. There were
a good many children among the vic
Tins. We have no doubt that In a
certain proportion of the cases the
victims were more to blame than the
drivers. That is apt to be the case
with children who sometimes dart in
front of a moving car with great
speed and recklessness. On the other
hand we have also no doubt that
many of these fatal accidents are due
to carelessness of the driver. You
can see it any day in Great Fails,
especially when an auto driver tries
to. turn a corner without slowing up
his speed. The a seems to be go
ing straight ahead. Suddenly the
driver sticks out an arm to indicate
that he means to turn, and the ma
chine whirls around in a half circle
without checking speed, to the dan
ger of the pedestrian who has not
kept an eye glued on the car, and

DOLES AND SPUDS

In England there r hundreds of
thousands of people out of employ
ment and the government is paying
"doles" to the idle, yet thousands of
tons of potatoes are rotting because
Englishmen are buying potatoes pro-
duced in continental Europe, where
they can be bought cheaply because
of the abnormal rate of exchange.
What a commentary upon the eco
nomic policies of Great Britain. They
send money out of the country to
buy foreign potatoes while their own
farmers are going bankrupt, and yet
they pay weekly doles to idlers who
could as well be employed planting,
cultivating and digging potatoes. We
can go to England to learn how not
to do some things.-Montana Record

MINNESOTA WOMAN
ADMIRES HEDGES

"What a luxurant hedgei What
do you call it," The Minnesota
woman tourist indicated a stretch of
Main street sidewalk.
The Wolf Point woman's> glance
turned to the spot Indicated mass
of gray-green foliage topped with
occasional gay yellow flowers, wild
sunfowers-and she blushed a bit as
she replied:
"That, oh, that is just a BUNCH of
Russian thistles."
Russian thistles. Oh, yes, I've
heard considerable about them, good
for silage when the dry land farmers
haven't any corn, but | wouldn't
have thought of them for hedges"
And the visitor changed the subject
tactfully.
But the Wolf Point woman felt
suddenly ashamed and a little apollo
getic, as if she ought to square the
town in the eye of the passer-through
The green-bordered path was attract
i've, perhaps, but weeds are weeds,
and the average proud-of-his-town
citizen dislikes to have his attention
called to them, particularly by out
siders. This woman had passed along
that street so many times that she
scarcely noticed the weeds that bor-
dered it, except when the luxuriant
''hedge'' e~ncroached so much upon
the sidewalk that people had to walk
singlefle or have their ankles scratch
ed by the thistles.
Then she reflected that there are
many places in town where the
weeds grow just as thickly, where
their presence has become a blind
spot in the eyes of the citizens.
Russian thistles, and sunfowers and
ragweed and a yellow lowered gum
weed growing in abundance-people
suffering complainingly with hay
fever and nobody doing anything
about it. Each spring the city coun-
Gil has published a "Cut the Weeds"
notice, and considered that it had
done its duty by the town. Some of
the citizens took the notice seriously
and did cut the weeds and even grub
bed them out, and did not let them
90 to seed, and the result was that
these people in a few years had very
few weeds to cut. Butlthe majority
IF the people let the weeds grow un-
they had attained full size, matur-
I'd seed to start another years crop
and become dry enough to burn.
And some of them didn't destroy
hem then.
There are many tourists passing
through Wolf Point each day and
scarcely a day passes that there are
Tot several cars from other states
on Main street. The people do

inc progressive people, and it is to
oe wondered how many of them will
