GENERAL TRAFFIC RULES

Of making traffic rules there is no end, and yet
motorists keep right humping into each other and
pedestrians keep right on being Here
short, simple rules of general nature, adopted
by a safety council.
The first five are for pedestrians:
Never streets at other than regular crossing.
This is "jay-walking." This reckless practice causes
half of street accidents
Don't the street directly behind street car.
There may be another the opposite track,
automobile you see.
Before stepping from the curb see that vehcuar
traffic is at standstill. Threading traffic is in
vitng injury or DEATH
Avoid cutting diagonally from to at
street intersection. Twostreams of traffic to watch
doubles your risk of injury.
Always look both ways when crossing streets. The
sidewalk is safe, but death turks in the roadways.
The second five for drivers:
Look out for children! Though playing the
sidewalk, they may suddenly run into the street.
Give the pedestrian chance. Even if he is care
less, you will deeply regret any injury he may suffer
Most automobile accident when driving fast.
Accidents always Observation-Disclosures
drive carefully at all times using chains in slippery
weather.
Keep your brakes in good order. Your life and the
lives of many others depend your ability to stop
instantly.
Study traffic rules. Obey them. Ignorance is no
excuse. They written for you.

TOM SIMS SAYS

These are the days you miss a
man about two weeks, then you see
him sunburned and broke.
What the country needs is rubber
heels for picnic ants.
Among the evils of returning
from vacation is finding the man
kept on leaving you milk.
Summer is worse than winter.
You can't throw a little ice on the
CRATE and keep cool.
One drawback to living at home
is you can't throw cigar ashes on
the floor in the lobby.
Never get along nicely while your
wife is visiting her mother. If you
do it makes her mad.
Bugs sleeping with you in the
woods wouldn' t be so bad if they
didn't get hungry at night.
By the time a straw hat begins to
feel good it begins to look bad.
When you see man making
faces at another man it may be the
coal man mad at the ice man.
Half our cuss words were thought
up by people while trying to keep
cool in July.
Our objection to being world s

UNCLE SAM WILL NOT

There is no prospect that the Ameri-

ures based on the chaotic political sit
uation in Germany. This appeared
to be clear from statements made at
the White House last week following
the regular cabinet meeting. 1t was
explained there that the only Wash

between the central authority of Ber-
lin and the governments of Bavaria
and Saxony and the present active eff
forts to separate the Rhineland from
Germany was expressed in the treaty
of peace between the American and
German governments and the treaties
following the agreement.

ICE PATROL TRACES
ATLANTIC CURRENTS

AS a means Of tracing out ocean cur
rents, United States coats guard cut
ters, now assigned to the North At
lantic ice patrol, will soon begin max
ing tests of the salinity of the ocean
waters through which they cruise. The
Bureau Of Standards has designed
new apparatus to assist the investi-
cation. The testing device employs
an electrical current, which, in pass
ing through samples of sea water
shows the exact amount of salt con.
tent by the resistance which it en-,
counters. The reason the salt is al
index to the current movement, scien.
lists explain, is that the gulf stream
coming up from the south under the
hot sun, loses much of its water by
evaporation and has a high salt con
tent in consequence.

TRYING TO DISCOVER
NEW USES FOR L V

Secretary of the Interior Work has
asked the Bureau of Mines to make
a preliminary survey of possible new
uses for silver in commerce and in
dustry. If the preliminary study looks
sufficiently promising, it was stated,
definite research may be undertaken.
With the decrease in the demand for
silver for monetary purposes follow
ing the expiration of the Pittman act,
silver producers are being faced with
the necessity of finding new markets
for their metal, Secretary Work has
pointed out, and this new study has
been ordered for the particular pur-
pose of determining where the use
of silver might be introduced into
hitherto unsupported fields.

WHY CARDS
SHOULD BE UNIFORM

The postoffice department this week
renewed the campaign of past holi-
day seasons to discourage the use of
small or odd-sized greeting cards and
envelopes. All postmasters were
again urged to make every proper
effort to secure the cooperation of
manufacturers, dealers and the pub
lie in general in the elimination of
the objectionable-sized mail matter
which cutters up and delays the work
Of postal employees at a time when
their every effort should be concen-
trated on moving the mails. Investi-
cation has disclosed that in no case
should cards and envelopes be small
er than 21h in. by A in, and that a
size somewhat larger is preferable
Odd and queer sized envelopes and
cards will not pass through the can

mission declared last week. This con-
clusion was announced in the second
of a series of weekly reports on the
anthracite price situation as it has
developed since the short strike last
month. 1t was grounded on the find
ing that while 81 per cent of anthra-
cite is sold by the operators to whole
salers at $3.50 to 5000 per ton, 45.5
per cent sold at $40 to 5000, an
