AS dark clouds gathered overhead,
the TIMES, to the snowman said, cts
nearing night, and now you needn't
worry bout the sun. We've built a
snowhouse, close at hand, not high
enough for you to stand, but you can
crawl right in the place to sleep.
Twill be much fun"
So, in the snow house they all
went, and there the long, cold night
was spent. Course Mister Snowman
didn't sleep. He couldn't close his
eyes. And so, although the ground
was hard, he merely sat all night,
on guard, and, in the morning, woke
the bunch to watch the big sun rise.
Outside they went, and played
some more, not knowing just what
was in store Wee Clowny left the
rest and found a bush of berries
sweet. "Hurrah" he shouted, "All
sit down, and l will pass these ber-
ries round" OF course he didn't
have to ask them twice, to make
them eat
Then, as they saw the snowman
jump, it made Their little hearts go
"thump." II think the sun is melt

cried. And, sure enough, his head
grew loose, and soon he whispered,
Whats the use of trying to keep
on living when I'm weakening in
side?"
Alas, poor snowman smaller grew,
and Scouty said, What can we do?
I think we ought to save him, if we
just can find a way" But, as the
sun snone very hot, they realized
that there was not a chance to save
their melting friend not even for a
day.

DRIVERS SHOULD
FACE HARD TEST
Reasons Why States Should
Enact and Enforce the
ChauEeurs' Act.

Ten salient reasons why every state
% the Union should enact and enforce
me uniform motor vehicle operators
and chauffeurs act recommended by
The Hoover conference, are presented
By the National Safety council, which
points out:
1. The large number of automobile
accidents that take such a huge toll Of
lives, limbs and property, should be
reduced, following passage of the
model law urged by the Second Ma
.ional Conference on Street and High
way Safety.
Decrease Accidents.
2. There should be u marked de-
crease in the number Of drunken
drivers as motorists who persist in
mixing gas and booze will have their.
licenses revoked, which is not possible
n many states which do, not issue
such permits
8. Speeders will slow up when going
through residential districts, where
children play in the streets, If they
know their licenses are in danger Of
being Cancelled.
4. Habitually careless operators Of
motor vehicles, who are constantly in
volved in crashes, will be more eau
hous and courteous once they face the
prospect of losing their licenses.
3. Permits to drive will not be
granted to applicants who are physi-
:ally unfit, by reason of being subject
TO fits, fainting spells, defective vision
Or hearing, etc.
6. Licenses will not be granted to
persons who are mentally deficient. To
day it is possible in some stutes for
the insane to operate. cars.
Bar Aliens.
z. Foreigners who cannot read or
Speak English will have to learn the
meaning of the rules Of the road, read
traffic signs, understand traffic signals,
etc.
8. Boys and girls under sixteen
gears of age will not be able to get
license. Minors will not be allowed to
operate taxicabs, jitneys, buses, etc.
9. Tourists who desire to spend more
than month in some other state will
not have to take out an additional IL
cense, as there are liberal nonresident
privileges in the proposed law.
10. The new act should result in
motorists being afraid to speed away
after being in an accident, because
they will realize that, if apprehended,
they will lose their licenses and face
the possibility Of both fine and Jail
sentence. 81 lerl az
