There are more vehicles on the high
ways of Arkansas this summer than
ever before. That means that the
chances of having accidents are much
greater than during the past two years,
when 10000 Americans lost their lives
in automobile accidents. Under the
law Of averages we can expect more
people will be killed and MANNED this
year than last, unless we all assume
the task Of eliminating this wholesale
and unnecessary slaughter of human
beings.

to death, that she longed for help
and advice, and that she hated to
seem heartless and ungrateful, but
Bunny had a perverse nature in
some ways. Kindness always won
her heart; sympathy always impelled
her confidence; but these people
showed a little too much cold curl

interest, to please Miss Bunny. And
discerning these things, she turned
