A CHALLENGE!

The recent congress of the National
Safety Council was opened with a
written admonition from President
Hoover that our $4,000 annual deaths
due to automobiles, sis challenge to
the efforts of the safety organizations
and the cooperation OF every motor
vehicle operator"
1t is good to hear that from high
source. There is no more tragic phase
to our life today than the needless
and wanton destruction Of life on the
public highways. There is no work of
greater value than that Of the safety
organizations which are laboring to
prevent carelessness and recklessness.
During the National Safety Councils
meeting, Samuel insult Junior was ap-
pointed chairman of a national adj
visory cctlmittee on safety in in
dustry, homes and on the streets and
highways. Mr.. insult said: ''Theh gen.
eral public still believes that accidents
are mainly accidents of God, beyond
human control. AS we progress with
cur studies, however, we learn that
each accident has many causes, and
these are closely interviewer with the
physical conditions under which we
live, with our subconscious reactions
and habits"
When the general public finds that
out, and takes it to heart, there will
be a general reduction in accidents

The zoo went to the ball game
One bright September day,
And found to their amazement
That they would have to pay.
The leopard gave "one spot"
-Four quarters gave the eve;
Then in marched all the baby sheep
And gave doll or two
The horses placed their eight bits
Upon the gateman's till;
The frog displayed green back;
The duck laid down a bill.
Two deer were next to fall in line
Behind the waddling duck;
And Mrs. Doe was first to speak,
She said: "I1l give buck"
But Mr.. Deer said: please look here;
we cannot have it so.
You must not make such sacrifice
Please let me give the doe.
Then last came Mr. Polecat,
And crawled right through the fence.

He left hundred scents.

the eye is the surest indication Of love. Unless the eye holds

glance with which Beauty tells her Beloved that her heart is his
