Will You Be One?

The report on automobile accidents for the past
year Is out at last, and It's s.safeS &c extremely de-
pressing. No fewer than 81 1000 people were killed in
this country by automobiles. and more than 100000
more were injured. This represents an increase Of
10 per cent over the preceding year.
The dreadful significance of those figures is hard
to assim1ate until you study them a bit. For example:
during the next hour there will be three Americans
killed BY automobiles, and rs more Will be hurt
many OF them. crippled for life.
Who will those doomed people be-those VIM are n
die or be crippled within the next so minutes? Well.
one Of them may be yourself. Or It may be that your
car will be the instrument that strikes one Of them
down.

The Last of Rowdyism

II comes as considerable OF a shock to learn that
bosses in certain lumber camps Of the Pacific north
west have taken to laying out golf courses among the
stumps of the cut-over mountainsides where their
gangs have been working.
The resulting picture is easy to imagine; the
heavy-fisted bull of the woods, arrayed in golf knick-
ers, checkered socks and a form-fitting sweater,
waggles his golf club in a clearing that only recently
rang to the sound of axes. and whacks the elusive
ball over slopes where sweating lumber jacks toiled TO
bring ancient trees down to the matted sod.
1t is all very surprising. and doubtless it is extreme
ly significant, in one way or another. At all events,
1t would seem to indicate that the horny-handed
rough-necks of tradition are growing tanned at an
unprecedented rate.
A lumber-jack on a golf counsel Well, times do
change. But there are places where this bit Of in
formation ought TO be received with loud cries of un-
belief.
Peddle it through the old, cut-over Michigan white
pine country. some day. and see what response you
get. Michigan knew the lumber jack in the day when
he was a sign and a portent for the timid; the day
when he worked like a Trojan all winter long. rode the
logs down foaming rivers in the s~pringtime at high
peril 10 his unwashed neck, chung TO one shirt

That is the lumber camp tradition. But now

Rowdyism is more intimately interviewer with our
past than we usually think. The lumber-jack was

refinements.
But the old order does change, and the lumber jack

Nav I ask you, miss. what for?

Going into loops and out
What 1t all, dear miss. about7
II your loops and turns are more
Than a girl has turned before,
If you make a thousand flat
Tell me. dearie, what Of that?
What can aviation learn,
What can engineers discern
From a grille no place bound,
Simply turning round and round?
/ admit that it's a trick
Very good and pretty slick,
Still 1t leaves me cold / fear
And without the urge to cheer.
What I want to know Is this
If you will excuse it, miss:
Do you when you're on the ground
Act in any way unsound?
When you're in an auto do
You try looping in II, too?
Do you, washing dishes, dear,
Wash EN- standing on your ear?
Do you when you make a bed
Make 1t standing on your head?
DO you shopping round the town
Ever do it upside down?
Do you almost always yearn
Just to turn and turn and turn?
DO you count the revolutions?
Twinkle, twinkle, lady fair.
Making loops up In the air,
Though you doubtlessly adore 1t.
