This is what Secretary Hoover told the delegates
to the safety convention in Washington. Automo-
bles have increased fast that the average munich
patty has been unable to provide the proper regua
ton. Cities were planned before automobiles we're
thought Of so the streets of every city are support
ing traffic which overtaxes capacity.
Ultimately the problem is Secretary Hoover
indcates-one ct complete reconstruction. In the
meantime, speed limits must be established and traf
fic rules rigidly enforced.
The Chicago Tribune puts the problem graphically
in these words:
eve have twenty million locomotives on
highways and every street is grade
crossing. The marvel is that there are as
few accidents as there are
Great expenditures must be made to insure safety
on city streets and public highways. Automobiles
of the nation represent an investment of many mil
lions, few millions must be spent to protect human
livesu

Society For Everything

Will Rogers, the humorist in his Bismarck ap-
pcarance, poked some fun ut the increasing num-
Der Of clubs ut is getting so now he said "that
when two men get together. has a gavcl and
calls the other to order"
The daily mail Of a newspaper confirms this very
thing. There TO be society to cover any
possible emergency. Recently from Congrega-
tiona pulpit, Luther Burbank gave his philosophy
Of life. Immediately some clique dubbed him
atheist Within ten days, The Tribune was in
receipt of brochure from some kind of an uplifr
organization which discussed the burning issue
whether Burbank atheist or not Probably
every daily newspaper in the country received the
pamphlet from the same society Of defenders
Of free thought or personal liberty.
Aside from any of the issues involved. every pub
Usher is impressed with the wanton waste of money
for useless propaganda.
Today for instance, and it. was light mail from
the 'prcpagandcrs", came a fine poster on Eat and
BE Healthy. The next letter turned up was
invitation to enclose twenty-five cents in a neat
coin car,--said 'two-bits" to be used for the pre-
vcntion cf Following the appeal for funds to
fight wars, came skillfully disguised advertise
ment from "drivurself' association. Taking the
bread out of the publishers mouth is of the
great indoor sports of the publicity expert.
There were appeals also for better homes from a
socets' :, promote that national ideal. Then was
uncovered large legal envelope from the National
Civic Federation containing some sort Of an appeal
to save the nation.
These few appeals from societies represent but i
small portion of the days deluge. Postage perfect

the nation relieved of many organizations, the
monetary saving would diminish the national deb.

VALLEY City Times Record)
Gerald Chapman, a convicted thief, sent to the
Federal prison at Atlanta, escaped. While fugi-

Connecticut and was captured in Indiana. brought
back fer trial and convicted.
Every effort made to make hero of this
jalbird He pictured as u super-crimina a

philosophy and naudlin press and people seemed
to hold him in veneration and alteration. The story
was carefully spread that he taught his lawyers
things about the law they knew before. Three
reprieves have been granted him, and finally the
Supreme Court refused to review the case and this
tawdry "hero" ct the underworld seems to be ap-
preaching the end he so richly deserves.

Editorial Comment
Scrapping Martial Songs
kansas City P0st)

Edward w. Box believes we should get rid OF
such songs "The Battle Hymn of the Republic
and Onward, Christian Soldiers because they
breathe the opposite of the spirit Of peace which
are striving to implant in the public mind.
1t is interesting when man like Mr. Box advo-
Gates thing of this kind and it wonder as tc
just how seriously such suggestions should be re-
garded and how far this disposition to get rid OF
"war talk" would carry US.
History is full Of it, much.of the finest literature
abounds in it and many monuments and memorials
are reminders. 1t would require an enormous
amount of labor to hide the glamor of war from a
rising generation bent upon investigation.

Muskrat was out of the way at last
"Who!" said Nancy and Nick to-

BILLY Beaver" said the March
Hare. Ellis name is Builder, YOU
know. but he's called Billy for short
why. he lives in the water" said
Nick. "How could he need to be
spring cleaned?"
"Just like Marky Muskrat," said
the March Hare. "He gets full oil

underground house all winter, he is
oil tangled up. Yes, Billy Beaver
certainly needs to be spring cleancd
Come on. Let's get him."
So, off went the three of them ia
the place on Ripple Creek where Billy
and his relations had made dam 81
mud and logs across the water, caus-

Of little. lake.
And there on the edge Of the bank
sat Billy himself.
"Heilo!" he called. "Arc you COM

the. woods to hunt some new birch
trees. I'm just playing a game with
my friends the Cazookumscs."
For the first time the visitors no
ticed three very tiny little boys with
long sharp cars, sitting on the bank
beside Billy Beaver.
The March Hare frowncd and
looked very much upset, for everyone
knows that wherever Gazookumses
nre. there is trouble also. The worst
thing about Gazookumscs is, 70,
never know what they are going Ia
do next. The next worst thing is
that they always 60 about in thrces
md it is very hard To get ahead oil
them.
When Billy mentioned them, the
three Gazookumses got right up and
tipped their hats and bowed very p0-

All the March Hare did when tho

was. to .Hay, "What does all this

The fOllypob Crisis

The debt France owes to the United States IS W0r-

lapse of the franc, which the other day dropped to
new low level. So is the blanket effort by the
Socialists to block whatever tax plans the admin

of the realm was tumbling down the other day, the
Chamber of Deputies reached crisis in the lollypop
situation.
