Acts, IT24.
The beacon lights of history have
inevitably been the men and women
who counted not their lives dear unto
themselves. They have grown in
stature in proportion to the magnitude
of the problems they have had to
meet and solve. In some instances
they seemed to seek out problems, they
lived and thrived in wrestling with
them. It would be difficult, If not i'm
possible, to discover among the lead
ers in any sphere of human action
those who pursued the line of least
resistance. In all our reading We do
not recall a case where true leader
ship has been disclosed that was not
marked by courageous determination
to overcome all obstacles. We do not
have to search far IN our community
life to identify the men and the women
who are factors in shaping the course
of events. We have sometimes thought
of late in connection with the world
wide depression and its attending ills
that 1t must prove supreme test of
our ability, not only to solve the prob
lens presented, but To disclose a new
type OF leadership. Somehow of re-
cent years In period of unparalleled
prosperity our genius for solving prob
fest. Not only is this true, but there
has been @ distinct decline in that
quality of geniuus that makes substan-
tial contribution to the fine arts.
Studying the progressive periods of
men, we note that in the main, they
came out of situations that were diff
ficult and that tested and tried mems
souls to the utmost. In our frequent
contacts with young men in our uni
yersities I note that those who are the
strongest and making the finest rec
ords, and insuring to themselves the
best futures, are those who by reason
of financial limitations are working
their way and this at no small sacri-
fee. Look in any direction we please,
the observation holds true that the
man or woman who is really securing
results Is able to say in the face Of
every difhculty and obstacle, None of
these things moYe me-"

Power and Titles.
We said q man by fortune blest
Was happy as q King.
A monarch often Is depressed.
Who knows what time may bring?
A regal crown upon the brow
May find its glory done.
It is the bold Dictator now
Who seems to have the fun.
One simple title, after all,
OF power fears no loss
That of the person who can call
Himself the Real Boss.

1880 resulted in decline of II per cent
from 1929, with the output at the end
OF the year the lowest in more than
four years. The decline in the produc-
ton OF refined products last year was
said to be due to the efforts of the re-
liners to balance supply and demand,
although stocks of gasoline continue to
mount.
Imports Of crude have decreased for
the first time since 1925, but imports of
gasoline have increased materially. The
report of the Bureau of Mines points
out that while the output in most of
the fields is being curtailed all the time,
the potential or "shut-in' production
has steadily increased. The daily aver
age OF crude oil production in the
United States for last week, for eX-
ample, as stated by the American Pc
troleum Institute, was just over 2,00O,-
600 barrels. an increase of IL 900 bar
rels over the preceding week. Large
wells are being brought in all the time,
but these are capped in" to a frac-
ton of their initial output.

said the question was one for Congress

In a few days the Interstate Com
merce Committee of the House will be-
gin hearings on legislation designed to
compel large oil companies to divest
themselves of their pipeline holdings
The bills were introduced on behalf of
the independent oil producers and their
principal purpose is to open up to the
use of the independents the spiderwork

Whether or not the public would gain

SAFETY DEPENDS UPON TRAIN
ING OF PEOPLE TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTS TO THEMSELVES

The Delaware Safety Councils
Committee on the Causes of Pub
lie Accidents attributes the majority
of automobiles mishaps to careless
ness and inattention. DR.. c. M. A.
Stine, chairman of the committee,
points out that when a man sits be-
hind the wheel of his car with 1000
pounds of metal and machinery to
respond to the turn of his hand a
world of new pleasures and new re-
sponsibilities are his.
He must visualize certain situa-
tions that may occur suddenly, per-
haps around the very next corner.
He must know how to act not only
in these emergencies but beforehand
to avoid them Automobiles have
reached a high stage of mechanical
perfection but they have no brains.
The Headless Horseman in Wash
ingtOn Irving's "Legen of Sleepy
Hollow" was a harmless spook. To-
day the headless driver on the high
way is a serious menace.
Fundamentally automobile safety
depends upon the training of people
to avoid accidents to themselves
and to prevent accidents to others.
1t incolves the acquisition of fund
of information pertaining to the
State automobile laws and the abil-
ity to apply this information to con-
crete situations. The building up of
habits which will make the applica-
tion of knowledge to situation au-
tomato. Upon the acquisition of this
safety education depends the con-
servation of all that goes to make
life worth while, health, happiness
and the material resources upon

the driver being doubled up with
cramps, overcome by fainting or
falling asleep at the wheel.
Motorists should remember that
man is given only one life on earth.
When that is snuffed out he is
through. He gets one body and
when he loses any part Of it it is
gone for good Life and limb cannot
be replaced. Mutilation is cancelled
opportunity. Safety first is some
thing more than a slogan. 1t is a
prayer for protection from folly and
carelessness.
