PEDESTRIANS TO BLAME-BUT

The newspapers are full of de-
nunciations of reckless automobile
driving. To which many automobile
owners reply, that the blame for ac-
cidents should not be wholly laid
upon the drivers. The pedestrians,
they say, are responsible for many
of these mishaps.
They find fault that people are
terribly careless in the way they
cross streets. At intersections reg
ulated by traffic lights, they will not
wait until the proper time to cross,
but they take a chance when the
signals are against them. They jump
out from behind cars in the path of
moving machines, they fail to cross
at the proper places, and they do
not look to see if cars are coming.
Many of them are very absent
minded. They are thinking about
their own personal affairs so intent
ly, that the most important of all of
their affairs, that of avoiding acci-
dent, is overlooked, and they plunge
across crowded streets without the
slightest precaution.
The major share of responsibility
for the many accidents occurring in
Milford rests upon the automobile
drivers, who should keep their cars
under such control that they can
stop even when pedestrians do
needless things. That does not JUS
tify pedestrians in recklessness.
They must learn to adapt their
to these times.
1t is a dangerous thing to cross
streets in city and town centers now
without looking carefully each way.
People should have more patience.
some of them will risk their necks
n crossing a street jammed with
raf1c, when by waiting a single
minute the bunch of cars would
ave passed and they could cross in
afety. Where lights or traffic cops
re provided, they should wait un-
il they get the signal to cross. 1t
7ill take only few minutes more
ut of a day to exercise strict care,
nd If this were done many acci-
ents would be avoided.

PROSPERITY is the result of pro-

but before the world can be expected

MILFORD, FRIDAY. DEC. 10, 1925
THE CHRISTMAS GIFT CUSTOM

Why do we give gifts at Christ
mas? It is a singular custom, con-
trary to most of our habits. Most
of the time we are hustling for sell
fish or at least individual purposes.
Ninety-nine per cent of the activity
of the average person is devoted to
aims for his own personal benefit
or those of his immediate family.
Then as Christmas time approach
es, the whole Christian world is
stirred by the giving fever. High
authorities tell us that much money
is wasted, that many people give
futile and impractical gifts, that
many give more than they can af-
ford, that many people become ex-
hausted by the labors of selecting
and sending away these gifts. And
yet in spite of all, people keep on
doing it.
In spite of all abuses, it is a
beautiful custom, and it shows no
sign of abatement. Foolish giving
might well be modified, but even If
a gift is futile, it does good. 1t tes-
titles of affection, and makes people
happier to think that the desire, to
remember them has been shown.
One can only suggest that as peo-
pie select their gifts, they do so
thoughtfully, and select things that
will either be of practical use, or
which will have some permanent
value for their beauty and appro-
priateness. Let us find out what |
people want and long for, and fulfill |
their wishes.
1t is a pleasure to be able to say
that the stores of Milford are most
admirably provided to meet all these
requirements. If you want solid,
substantial, practical things, that
will last and give comfort, they are
loaded to their top floors with such
articles. And if you want goods of
decorative charm which appeal to
the most artistic taste, there they
are in abundance. In the name of
our merchants, the Milford Chron-
icle invites people from far and
near to come in and inspect and
make use of this superb display.

THE INDEPENDENCE OF YOUTH

THE INDEPENDENTS VF 1OOIh
The changes of these times are
such that the young folks of high
school age and younger expect to
have a far greater control over. their
lives than boys and girls used to
have.
For instance, it seems to be nee
essary in many cases, to keep the
Youngsters contented with the plans
their parents outline for them, to
compensate them very literally for
giving UP their own way. One friend
reports the case of girl who was
determined that her parents should
send her to a certain college where
her education would be very expen-
sive. They did not feel it best to do
so. She sulked so much about it,
that they finally had to give her an
automobile to keep her contented.
To use one more illustration,
lady from Europe, whose husband is
doing business in this country, re-
Gently remarked that in her coun-
try children are allowed to read
only those books and attend those
entertainments that are designed
specially for children. Imagine the
howl that would go up from the kid
element in America, If they were
thus restricted.
The young crowd have their par
ents under a very considerable de-
gree of subjection today. They can
make themselves so disagreeable If
they fail to get what they want,
that the majority Of parents let
them do about as they please.
It may be replied that the result
is to make these youngsters more
self reliant and able to take on re-
sponsibilities, which no doubt is so.
But lot of them use this control in
way that does them no good. The
way to meet that situation is for
parents to give more time to their
children, enter more into their
sports, and win their affection, so
that they will hate to go against the
wishes and judgment Of the older
people. But even at that, they will
acquire a capacity to act for them s
selves at an earlier date than for /

COURTEOUS DRIVERS CLUB

A large number of automobile
accidents are due to the fact that
drivers forget the caution, court.
esy and kindness towards others
which are evidence of good
breeding and politeness. No
doubt the great majority of driv
ers behave on the road just as
we'll as they do at home. but un.
fortunately there are others who
forget the most elementary rules
of courtesy, and thus contribute
to most of the accidents and an.
noyances that motorists may
meet on the road.
The Safety League of the Pro
vince of Quebec is endeavoring
to group, under the name of
Courteous Drivers Club, all
motorists anxious to have the
rules of courtesy observed on
the roads. II ever these was q
movement deserving support it
ia certainly this one. The CO.
operation of all courteous driv
ers, united in one body, will
undoubtedly be of great assist
ance to the safety campaign.
Following are the very rules
that members of the Courteous
Divers Club" undertake to OBJ
serve:
/. Drive prudently and care
fully;
2. Learn to observe the rules
of the road;
8. Respect the rights of 9th.
ers;
4. Show the same courtesy on
the road as at home;
5. Drive straight ahead with.
out running in zigzags;
6. Signal when about to stop
or turn;
Z. Signal every time when
leaving the sidewalk;
8. Stop at all level crossings
which are not protected, change
speed and proceed if road is
clear;
9. Anticipate and prevent &C.
cidents;
10. Be careful for ones own
sake and for the sake of others
II. Avoid passing other cars
on grades and at bends in the
road;
II. Always keep to the right,
particularly at the top of grade
and at bends.

THIRTEEN BILLION FOR CRIME

Crime, according to Wade Ellis
of the American Bar Associa
tion's Crime Commission, costs
the United States $l3. 600, 900, 900
q year.
We have 1900 murders an
nually, so times the number re
corded in Great Britain. Since
1900 our murder rate has in
creased $50 per cent.
The causes of crime are many
and foremost among them Mr..
Ellis places our multiplicity of
laws which. by simple mathe
matics, has increased the total of
crimes. Every new law breeds
new criminals. decreases respect
for society and places new bur
dens on our courts of justice.
It is a disheartening fact that
the great majority of our citizens
take crime more or less as a
matter of course. What is need
ed is an active public conscious
ness that will force simplifica
tion and reform of our laws and
legal system, and oppose the
tendency to pile more enactments
on the already bulging statute
books. Too many laws touch
the good citizen and fail to Gis.
comfort the criminal.
The sole test for any law is
whether il protects society and
Furnishes or reforms the under
world. We must return to tirst
principles in our war against
crime.

A STORY IN FIGURES

Cold figures are usually ex-
tremely uninteresting things.
But once in while you can pre-.
sent a picture or tell a story
better by means of figures than
in any other way.
The Index, a magazine pub
lished by the New York Trust
Company, contains in q recent
issue a statistical article con.
trasting American economic con.
ditions now with conditions in
1914. The article is mostly fig
ures; but it tells, graphically, the
way in which all American life
has been changed, and its figures
give the imagination a world of
material to work with.
For instance, since the war
the American public has spent
more than $21. 900. 600, COO for
luxury and diversion. At the
same time, the public has re.
ceived free from the state in
public services, such as educa
tion, recreation, sanitation and
charity, an amount which has
increased from $3.50, 900, 900 in
1915 to So, $50, 600, 900 in 1926.
The raise in the average stand
ard OF living reflected in those
figures is almost unbelievable.
But there is more to come.
American food consumption
represents higher standard of
living. Milk consumption. for
example, has risen 33 per cent
since 1919. although the popula
tion has increased but II per
cent. Per capita consumption of
sugar has gone up from SO lbs.
in 1914 to 113 pounds in 1927.
Candy sales have more than
doubled in that period; ice cream
manufactures have increased six
fold. The sale of fresh fruits
and vegetables. also, has gone
up rapidly.
Those figures speak volumes.
They mean vastly more than the
mere fact that business has been
good; they indicate a, rise.in the
standard of living that is simply
astounding. They show that the
average American is able to have
much more in the way Of com.
fort and luxury than ever before
in history.

OUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT

Greatest of all the achieve.
ments of our modern industrial
age has been the social and eco
nomic progress made by the
common man." the average
worker.
It has not been long since
labor was regarded more or less
as an inanimate commodity, sub
ject to the law of supply and de
mand, and purchased much in
the same way as wheat or cattle
or groceries.
Capital and Labor, once the
cat and dog of the economic bat
tie, now exist together with a
fine friendliness and common re-
gard. They have the same OF
jective and they realize that it
can be reached only by coopera
ton. The progressive employer
pays good wages for good work.
be is interested in improving the
living conditions of his employees
and be becomes a partner in
their progress.
Tyranny and poverty and mis-
cry make agitators and incen
diaries. High wages and pleas
ant living and working condi
tions make good citizens.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD

San FRANCISCO, Callt. - BuSl-
ness activity in the Twelfth Fed.
eral Reserve District reached a
high level during July. The
agricultural outlook improved
moderately. price movements. on
the whole, were not unfavorable,
and the supply of credit con,
tinued ample. although the price
Of credit advanced slightly.
Increased prices for many farm
products and favorable weather,
which benefited growing crops
and facilitated early harvesting
operations, were important de.
velopments in the agricultural
situation during the month. Sub
stantiale advances in prices of
wheat, potatoes, and deciduous
fruits pointed to an Improvement
in aggregate farm income. The
announcement. on August 10,
by the recently created Federal
Farm Board, that it had agreed
to extend substantial financial
aid to California organizations en-.
gagged in handling raisin grapes,
was an additional factor in the
improved agricultural outlook.
The number of unemployed in
the District is estimated to have
decreased during July and was
smaller than a year ago, ma
tural accompaniment of increas
ed activity in industry. Per.
haps the most noteworthy pro
duction figures of the month
were those pertaining to the re
cord output of oil in California.
Average daily output during July.
1929, was 1858, 165 barrels, an in
crease of nearly 10000 barrels
or more than one per cent over
the previous record output of
September, 1923. This record
flow accentuated the problem of
temporary overproduction which
has faced the oil industry for
some months past.
The usual mid summer reces
sion in trade failed to appear
during July of this year. Rail
road and waterborne traffic was
we'll maintained, and a relatively
large volume of goods was dis
tributed at wholesale and at re
tail. Contrary to the seasonal
movement, sales of new automo
biles increased during the month
and established q new monthly
sales record.
There was q large outflow of
funds from this district to New
York during late July and early
August. This was q delayed

arily occurs early in July and

movement was evidently post

rency which was placed in cir.

member banks declined during
this period July II to August
14) while their loans increased,
as did their borrowings from the
Federal Reserve Bank. The dis
count rate of the Federal Re
serve Bank of San Francisco
was unchanged at five per cent.
