"WHATS YOUR HURRY?"

Automobile and other street accidents have be-
numerous in many cities that campaigns have
been commenced to teach the public, pedestrians
well drivers of vehicles the wisdom Of exercising
the public streets.
Investigations of accidents on the streets have de-
veoped that large per cent of them is avodabe that
they the result of careessness the part of the
driver of the vehicle the pedestrian who is the worst
sufferer when a collision
Men and women rush across the streets or between
street cars and vehicles, apparently without any
thought of the dangers they face in doing Many
persons can be leaving street at the rear
door and crossing the street behind the car thereby
running the risk of being struck by passing on the
"bnd" side.
Automobile drivers not blameless in the mat
ter Many of them take chances in rushing across a
street ahead of street another automobile,
all for the evident purpose of saving few seconds,
if the saving of time justified them in running the risk
of being struck.
Even without the aid of traffic officer at the
street crossing travel would adjust itself if every
person exercised good judgment in crossing go with
the traffic is advice which may be followed with
safety under almost every condition.
Every person, driver or pedestrian, who uses the
streets has it in his power aid in making the street
safe for all.

THE BUSINESS OF LIVING

In his autobiography Benjamin Franklin tells
how he kept books on himself He had a ledger at
the top of each page OF which ne wrote one OF the sew
eral virtues he regarded fundamental for right v
ing One page he devoted to frugaty another to tenn
perance third to industry, fourth TO silence and
so .
At the end of each day he examined himself and
if he had failed in any of these virtues he gave himself
a black mark on the ledger. In this way he kept HIM
self informed to the weak spots of his makeup and
devoted himself constantly to improving them lhus
he kept the record in the ledger balanced
To Ben Franklin living the most important OF
all businesses He more concerned IN showing
gains and stopping losses his living business than IN
his printing business.
Franklins bookkeeping system was practical ap-
plcation of the injunction know thysef. Self-knoW-
ledge is the fundamental of the living business MOST

this most important of all business. That's why there

AIDING GROWTH

There is nobody probably who has not observed
how the opening of a new store in town creates
buste puts an ounce of life in the community,
brings more people downtown and in fact gives the
town fresh start 1t is like an invigoratng cold
shower, the first fall frost cool rain in midsummer
a mountain breeze
But there are not many who know why towns and
cities are thus affected by the store the coming
OF another factory any other addition to the indus
try or commerce of the community. They recognize
the result but cannot explain the and only be-
cause they not of their loyalty and
cern for the growth and prosperity of the town. Every
good citizen desires to his community expand its
population industry and commerce. but he does not
ognze IN the store and factory the realization of
his hopes.
The number, size and expansion of city's business
places and factories alwaysy with its
growth in population The store, by increasing
the communty's capacity for business, creates that
business through the attraction of residents and
out-of-town buyers and by arousing the existing bus
mess. Long established businesses do not fear new
competition but the contrary in many instances
have encouraged it. They say the new store does not
draw trade away from the old stores but creates
business for both the new and the DID,
When new store opens everybody profits from the
new storekeeper down to the customer. 1t is not al
ways possible to draw from the outside that increased
business which will attract the store, but it is al
ways possible to attract the store by buying
and buying at home.

Some instances Of the work
done by the Cancellation Division
were cited by Kerwin. Recently
$500 employees in large city en-

the community, wnere a strike
would have involved 5000 others,

ciliators stepped in ana a mutual
