Safety Suggestions

Three elements must be considered
IN highway accidents-the car, the
road, and the driver. According to
Sidney j. Williams Of the National
Safety Council, each Of these ele-
ments sometimes predominates, but in
general the car is a lot safer than
the highway, and the highway is a
lot safer than the driver.
Statistics Of past years cast inter-
esting light on the accident situa-
ton. Traffic accidents among school
children are on the decrease, while
those among adults are on the in
crease, thus proving the value Of
safety education in schools. During
the last three years the number of
commercial vehicles involved in fatal
accidents has gone down 10 per cent,
while the number of private cars SO
involved has gone up 81 per cent.
This reflects the beneficial results Of
education and supervision Of drivers
by their employers. Also, statistics
show that recent increases have been
entirely in the country. In cities the
battle is being waged on even
grounds.
MI. Williams has put forward nine
suggestions for reducing accidents.
These include magazine. newspaper
and other publicity to impress the
individual driver with his responsible

Health Depends on Good
Milk

New York City and the territory
surrounding it have what is conceded
to be one of the finest milk supplies
in the world. This is the result, &C
cording to Vera McCrea Of the
Dairymen's League Cooperative as
ISOLATION, of two factors: The strin-
gent laws and system Of control
created by the state and city health
departments, and the fact that q

many years this association has CIV

other areas where similar conditions

Miss McCrea points out, it is up to
the purchaser to keep it safe. 1t

of the ice box as soon after delivery

covered. The neck and cap Of the
bottle should be washed In running
water before the milk is poured.
Strong health laws and progress
sive, scientific ~cooperatives among
dairymen should be in existence in
every state. They are the guarantee
that the milk we drink Is not only
safe and pure, but of a high STAN
.ard of quality.
And public health officers should
enforce the laws, strictly but fairly.
They have no right to prejudice the
health of a city by allowing uEclean
milk to be distributed. The people
health they protect should not
hesitate to support them in the faith
full performance of their duty.

CPRING had come back to Will
~ low Stream when at last Lame
was able to be moved. A tenta-
tive, wistful sort Of spring. The
young buds were on the trees.
The crocuses were up in the gar
dens around the big house. Mrs.
i! Cleespaugh was still in Italy but
she had cabled her son to open
the place and recall the servants.
Give had wanted to take LANE
south but the doctor had advised
against it. He had said she was
not strong enough for travel yet.
So she returned to the big rose
curtained boudoir which had shell
tered her last summer. What
ages it seemed since then! How
much had happened and how
much older and wiser she felt!
She tried to talk to Give one
day. to tell him something OF
what was in her heart. But she
was still too weak for this. The
tears brimmed over and her voice
broke when she tried.
Give had been wrung by her
frailty. her humility on this oc-
casion.
"Please don't try to talk about
our affairs now" he had pleaded.
Later we can straighten every
thing out. Don't worry. Think
of me as a big brother. a guard

you're too good to me-" she
had managed to say brokenly.
She did not see him often these
days. He went to the city on an
early train and came out on a
late one. Usually she dined in
her room. During the morning
she was wheeled out into the sun
and for long hours she sat
wrapped in a rug. her hands the
merest transparencies against her
furs, contemplating the loneliness
, around her. The lawns were be-
ginning to show a hint Of the
green luxuriance which would
later overrun them. Nora brought
roses from the small conservatory
almost daily.

been wanting to talk to you about

His frown deepened. All
this?"
"About us. Plans.",
Panic drove her on. After all
he had announced in the begin
ming that their marriage was to
be purely a business partnership.
He had married her to escape the
bondage of his mother domineer-
ing. Now that he had come
into his own there was no reason
they need continue with this
empty form Of existence. It was
. mockery.

He said her name SO seldom
that the sound of It In his deep
voice set her heart to pounding.
She said. II think 1t is wicked
that you should still be bound to
me. We're quits now. You'd be
better of. without me-"
He stared at her. What he
thought was this, "She means she
wants to be free"
"You saved my life," Lane
blundered on. II owe you that.
You have a right to whatever you
want. II you are tired OF this
arrangement it's natural enough.
I should be the last one to re-
proach you for that"
"she's thought it all out" he
reflected. "She's trying to save
my face by putting it this way.'s
None of this showed in his face
ds he answered in q voice strange
" harsh, "Just as you like. Per-
haps We had better see to the de-
tails before mother comes back.
We can get It all out Of the way
without any fuss and furry"
She turned away to hide her
tears. What she had expected Of
this interview she did not exactly
know. Now she was certain that
Give was still displeased with
her. She felt bitterly ashamed.
What . miserable creature she
was! She had brought nothing
but trouble to this house. Even
when she had tried to run away
she had shown herself too weak.
too helpless, to sustain herself.
After Give left she INDUCED in
an orgy of establishment. She
thought wildly, "People kill them.
selves when they feel utter fall
ures but I have not even courage
enough for that"
No. she would not kill herself.
She had brought sorrow enough
to all Of them without that. She
must make what she could Of her
life. broken and futile though It
seemed.
She WINGED at the thought Of
Mrs. Cleespaugh's shocked face
when she heard the news. The old
lady would be wounded in her in
vincible pride. Cass would be
hurt. Oh, why. why wasn't It
possible to arrange ones own ex.
istence without Involving other
peoplef
Well, It was all her own fault.
She would shoulder the blame,
take all the responsibility upon
herself. Give would be free. He
might marry again and have
sunny-haired. bluereyed children
to romp about the big house. She
hoped that he would. He deserved

tears began to dow again.

Tressa was of his own world. She
