Both Motorist and Pedestrian Have Rights on
the Public Highways
q. B. AUEL, President National safety council.

At least 10000 persons we're killed in automobile accidents in the
United States during 1924, the National Safety council estimates after sew
eral months study with the cooperation of the federal government COM
munty safety councils in so cities, local police departments and other
agencies.
The study indicates that the increase over 1928 was between 1000
and 2,000' due in great part to the continued increase in the number of
registered automobiles. In 1924 there were II, 100000 automobiles regis
tered in this country or / automobile for every 62 persons.
The traffic problem has become one Of the most important now faced
by cities and surrounding rural communities, and ways and means for
meeting the situation adequately must be developed in the near future.
Undoubtedly the yearly toll Of deaths would'be much more than 2Os-
900 were it not for the fact that organized safety work involving engineer
ing revision and education has been carried on successfully in so Of our
largest cities for several years.
The motorist and the pedestrian must be educated to an acceptance
of the principle that both have rights on the highways.
Automobile drivers should be licensed by the state only upon their
qualification by test and examnatonas to ability and fitness, and licenses
should be revoked for cause.
Uniform traffic regulations should be adopted by the various states.
Last of all but not least, all laws, rules and regulations designed to
prevent accidents should be strictly enforced.

The Old Native Stock of the United States Is
Not Dying Out
PROF. WARREN E. THOMPSON, Of Miami University.

The old native stock Of the United States is not dying and its great
est increase is in the South.
Although the rate Of natural increase in the United States is higher
than in most parts of the world, and such as to make it seem doubtful
whether such an increase can be maintained formany decades, still there
are clear indications that the rate is on the decline in all classes of popu-
lation.
The studies of families Of college graduates show in every case that on
the average they fail to reproduce themselves.
The average number of children born to- Vassar alumae has never
exceeded 15 per alumna.
The study dealing with the classes from which college students come
rather than with college graduates shows that this whole class is scarcely
reproducing itself and points to the likelihood that college graduates at
Wisconsin as elsewhere are not reproducing themselves.
Professor Holmes study Of Caiforna students families confirms the
findings OF the Wisconsin study and shows quite clearly that the educa-
ton of the parents as well as their nativity has influence upon the size of
the family.
Tine serious question is whether our present urban industrial cviiza-
ton can be- SO modified that family life will be given a place in it or
whether it will become like Frankenstens monster and destroy its
creators.

Providing Better Educational Opportunities for
Children of the Farm
FLORENCE N. HALE, superintendent Of Rural Schools.

When the last census showed that over 100000 people left the
farms last year to move to the town or city, economic experts found that
in at least eight cases out Of ten the move came from the desire Of the
farm people to give their children as good educational opportunities as
the cy child enjoys.
In most cases these people seem to have good reasons to believe that
as yet equal opportunities are not available in the country. So serious an
effect on all national prosperity was apparent by the removal Of these
solid citizens from the countrv-whch is, after all, the basis for city we'll

THE LEGION
, uTHoR

A UTHOR WOOLLEY, ma
"A tionaIly known speaker, is
extolling the American Legion
in a series of addresses through
out the country. Speaking at
Ogder, Utah. recently he said;
1.-THE American Legion is one
Of. the greatest organizations in
the country and the most select
fraternity in the world. The
President of the United States
in his message to congress &c
ommends that congress be
guided by the American Legion
in all matters concerning the ex-
service men. Every piece
of legislation beneficial to the ex-
service men was sponsored and
pushed by the Legion. In
the minds of those who formed
the American Legion We're the
ties of friendship, the spirit of
service in the hour of need, the
love of country and a feeling of
patriotism. The Legion
will keep alive the memories of
the great war and thus remove
the inevitabienesS of war.
BY not forgetting the horrors of
the last war, we can avoid fu-
ture wars

HOW 1T STARTED
Minister'S FLOCK"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with the com.
monty used reference to the ministers
congregation as his flock Carrying
of course, the minister Is a shepherd
who tends and watches over his
flock"
Attempts have been made to explain
this metaphor by turning to the word
pastor, synonymous with minister.
which. synonymous back to the Latin
"pascere." signifies 'one who pastures
or feeds The theory is that pastor
was the earlier designation for the
preacher and that it Is from its origi-
nal significance of giving pasture that
the objects Of the preachers efforts
came to be spoken of as his flock
That, however, is going far afield,
for a source that Is to be found much
nearer home. The fact Is that the
characterization of a congregation as
the minister's flock" has no reference
to the flock Of sheep or lambs that
Craze in pasture, but that the term
was acquired by the cattle and the
birds after it already described the
worshiping numbers. or. for the mat
ter. any other group of people.
For the word flock" comes from
the Anglo-Saxon "f1oce." which signi
fies originally simply a company or
multitude. Hence the term belonged
originally to the minister's company"
and was applied only in a secondary
way to the number of animals or
birds which, grouped together, We
have come to call a flock"

BEAUTY CHATS
Looking Toward Winter.

1t doesn't much matter if you have
Sunburned face, or even dark
brown V down the front of your chest;
that doesn't look badly with an even
ing dress and is rather charming with
tailored frocks and coats. The one
souvenir Of a hot summer that you
mustn't have is q pair of of sun
burned or freckled hands.
Surprising then. your hands are
not as white as you wish them; let
us consider some remedies You could,
of course, wear csometic gloves at
night, but I've never managed to
stand cosmetic gloves for more than
an hour, then I've had to get up and
wash my hands before / could get
even droWsy. so / do not expect my
readers to try them.
Instead. try this: Clean your hands
all over with lemon juice. even though
it stings, then rub pure, fresh lard,
all over the juice and slip your hands
into rubber gloves. If you're wash
ing or doing housework, you can man
age very comfortably in rubber gloves
or you can read or do any work that
isn't fine work. After an hour. pull
off the gloves, scrub the hands with
soap and water and a small scrubbing
brush, push back the cuticle and
clean the nails. Do this daily.
Wash your hands with hot water
and a little soap, rinse in hot water
Pour a little oatmeal powder on the
hands and rub until dry. This is
fine bleach. Use any of the beaches
given yesterday on the hands, but
try TO keep them inside the rubber
gloves for part Of each day, for
the pure lard is splendid for the skin,
it makes It soft and moist, and keeps
the beaches from drying it too much.

A Back Load.

This is u story my father told to
me one day when l had worked right
hard doing little job for my mother,
not as light -heartedly as I might have
done it, because there was a game, on
down in the lot and | couldn't go and
do the job, too. So | did the job with
4 load on my back.
Said father: Once in the days of the
little green people there was d good
lad who loved his mother well. His
mother was poor and had to work
hard to get bread for both of them
for father was away to the wars that
the king was forever making.
Well, one day as he was at work
in the field picking stones from be-
tween the rows a smiling little green
person perChed on the back of his
hand and said: Come away down the
valley with me and I'll show you such
sights as never We're seen. And I'll
give you such gifts as never were
given. And III make your fortune
Come away down the valley with us"
And the boy was lonely and aching
from the labor. so he said: I'm your
man. 1t Is surely better to be max
ing your fortune down in the valley
than to be picking stones here on the
hillside" and slapped the dust off
his hands and faced about toward
the valley.
But will you not be telling good
bye to your mother?" SAYS a voice,
and. jumping around quickly. the boy
spied a wee man perched on rock
and balancing a long pair of tongs in
his arms.
"Oh, never mind him." says the first
green man. We've no time to lose
for the sunll be setting and we've
got to get to the journeys end by

tune for us. Here, take this bag and
sling it over your back. 1t will serve
a good turn when you wish to carry
your fortune back.
So the lad, with an eye to the gifts
he was to have and the fortune he
was to find, slung the bag to his
shoulders and started down the hill
after the wee green man. At the first
step downward he felt q bump in the
bag.
whats that in my bag" said he,
standing stock still.
Its the first bit of your luck, ="
said the wee man, but hurry along
now Or the sun1l be down"
Never mind him." said the man
with the tongs, so close to his ear
that the lad thought he was inside it.
TITS a load on your back. And each
step you go down toward the valley
he'll add another lump an you1l tum-
BILE head over heels with the load on
your back. And up this hill you'll
never get again. Step back here be-
side me and I'll nip off that unlucky
lump and I'll boost you back again"
And half waking, half dreaming,
he was in such a state of mind the
lad turned in his step and strobe up
ward. Before you could set your lips
for a whistle the wee fellow with the
tongs nipped the lump out of the bag
and with a fine flourish OF his tongs
sent it straight at the head of the
wee green man. And away down the
hill he scampered and never was seen
from that day to this.
Now. mind you this" said my
father solemnly warming, ''if ever a
wee man should tempt you away from
your job to seek your fortune, look
out that he doesn't put a load on your
back thatll tip you into the valley
and keep you there ever after

Lemon Pie With Top.

Wash one large lemon clean and
CRATE it. Remove every particle of
seed, as the least bit will make the
pie bitter. This will make three pies.
Line three pie plates with dough. di-
vide the lemon and place one part of
il in each pan. spread 1T over the
dough, and pour water over the lemon
to about half fill the pan. Sprinkle
over this either -four or cornstarch,
using about one teaspoonful to each
pie, and sugar to sweeten. This forms
a jelly when baked in the pie. Some
cooks add a pinch of butter. Make
thin crust, puncture the top, and pinch
the edges together. This filling is
liable to boil and the juices will escape
at the edges unless the two pieces of
dough are securely held together. In
stead of being a strong bitter lemon
pie, 1t is one filled with a delicious
Jelly when cold.
