CAREFULNESS

Jones is a careful driver. He is OF
mature age, has been driving a car
for years and has never killed a
child, cat or chicken. He has never
bumped into another mans car; his
front tenders are not dented.
Carefulness in this autOmOtive
age is a precious quality. 1t means
the sparing of human life, the avoid
ance of danger. But it is not an in
herited quality. 1t is acquired; it is
the result of education in the school
of experience. The man careful
from principle, or through nature, is
not usually quite careful enough. He
has not sufficient reminders to make
him always be sure that his brakes
are in good shape and that there is
nothing wrong with his steering
gear.
When Jones sees a man on the
road ahead of him standing on the
outside of his car peering into it he
discreetly toots his horn. He has
not forgotten a time in his youth,
when he was riding a bicycle and
sought to pass behind woman who
was standing talking to man in a
huckster wagon. Just as he was
about to pass noiselessly she step
ped backward, and he and she and
the bicycle all rolled over in the
ditch together.
Jones never tries to pass a car
Just before reaching the top of a
hill. for he knows from experience
that another car may be approach
ing just over the rim. The same
thing applies to curves on the road,
for Jones has seen many accidents
and near-accidents happen from just
that kind of carelessness. For the
same impressive reason he never
fails to hold out his hand whenever
he is going to turn or stop.
Coming to a crossing, whether in
the country or in the city, Jones
slows down and makes sure of his |
road. 1t sometimes seems an eXag-
gerated cautiousness, but he is MAX
ing allowances for fool drivers. He |
has seen cars smashed and turned |
over, with grievous consequences, on
plain city street corners because the
drivers in question expected all
others to stop for them. They felt
by rushing in they would make
others give way for their own safe
ty. Prudent men do give way, but
drivers always taking chances are
bound to meet with other drivers of
the same sort sooner or later.
A burnt child breads the fire. A
wise child who has seen another get
burned acquires the same salutary
dread at less expense. Jones' care
fulness is a quality refined by fire.
It can stand the test. He has seen,
heard and felt enough to shun dang
er and constantly seek safety. If all
auto drivers in the United States
we're educated in the same way it
would mean the sparing of about Co.,
700 precious lives in this country
every year.-The Pathfinder.

ONION, HISTORIC FOOD CROP,
REMAINS FAVORITE IN DIET

From the earliest times of which
we have authetic records the onion
has been highly esteemed as an ar
ticle of food. In desert regions it
was early used also as a preventive
of thirst by travellers and soldiers on
the march. The original home of
the plant, of which there are many
varieties, was probably southern AS
ia or the borders of the Mediterra-
mean Sea.
Egyptians cultivated the onion at
the dawn of their history, according
to W. R. Beattie, of the United
State Department Of Agriculture and
now the Egyptians offer competition
to the Texas producers of winter
grown Bermuda onions.
The onion, says Mr.. Beattie, be-
longs to a widely variable species, |
AIlium cepa, which forms part of
the botanical family of plants which |
includes many of the lilies, the sew
eral forms Of asparagus and smilax,
and similar plants with a scaly or
fleshy enlarged root. A characteris-
tic of this family is that most of its
species grow naturally upon soil
having an abundance of moisture,
many of them being natives of low
lying areas along the seashore. An
other characteristic of plants like
the onion and asparagus is that they
will withstand considerable salt in
the soils on which they grow. Con-
ditions favorable to onion culture
sfe found in many sections of the
United States and the crop is wide
ly grown.
Good prices for onions one year
are likely to stimulate heavy pro-
duction the next year. This is true
NOT only because commercial grow
ers expand their acreage but also be-
cause good prices will lead many in
to plant onions in small
matches or home gardens tnat supply
more than the needs Of the growers
and so enter the local markets IN
with the field-grown
crop. Onions demand intensive cul-
Fure. which makes them particular
" adaptable for truck patch an9
back-lot cultures, in when the
can cultivate and weed Jhenl
IN the time outside his usual hours
If employment. The average yield
n an acre of onions is about 29O
bushels. but on soils that are sult-
,bIe and fertile good civilizations Of
EN- results in yields OF from 4UV u
700 bushels an acre.
