SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY

Governors of 20 states and
The Commissioners of the Dis
crict of Columbia initiated a
concerted program of automo-
ollie accident prevention on
August LIST, when simultan-
eously they issued proclama-
ions or public statements to
the citizens of their respective
commemorative, calling upon
them to participate in a gen
eral movement to safeguard
life and limb upon streets and
highways.
The proclamations, messages
and statements of the Cover
nors in general commend the
activities of the press and the
many clubs, societies and or
CARNATIONS which are cooper
ating and spreading street and
highway safety principles.
they appeal to all citizens,
whether driving or walking, to
assume and exercise a sense
Of personal responsibility in
making use of the nations
streets and highways. Coop
GRAFTON with proper officials in
local communities and with
state traffic authorities was
urged as an important ele-
ment.
Approximately $4,000, 900
persons were reached by the
proclamations and statements.
These comprise more than IS
per cent of the nations total
population. They include 70
per cent of the country's regis
tration of motor vehicles and
within their borders last year
more than 20 per cent of the
total of $4,000 deaths occurred.
1t is only by joint action of
every individual and agency
concerned that the nation can
, successfully combat the raw
ages of the misused automo-
mile. Properly handled the
motor car is a safe, convenient,
expeditions form of transpor-
tation. Handled improperly,
it is the most destructive weap-
on of modern life. Greater
care on the part of all persons
can effect a reduction in the
loss of lives which reached
around $4,000 last year, with
nearly a million persons in
jured.

Users of the mails who are
paying the increased postal
rates will be-as disappointed as
is Postmaster-General Brown
that thus far the higher cost of
the service has not brought an
increase in revenues as COM
pared with last year. They do
not have the satisfaction of
knowing that their additional
expenditure for postal service
is keeping the department out
of the red.
This failure of estimated in
crease in receipts is due partly
to a smaller volume of mail be-
cause of the business depres-
sion. But higher rates have
also had an effect, by prompt
ing delivery of letters and 9TH
er mail matter through other
channels than the post office.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
BOOK

The usual Democratic cam
paign textbook has been issued
and is being distributed. The
1892 textbook is collaboration
of the national, senatorial and
congressional Democratic COM
mittee.
The work is striking chiefly
for it's mildness-its consist
ent, if implied, disclaimer of
the radical or irresponsible
label which the conservative
East has given the Democratic
national ticket. Mr.. Roose-
welt, it stresses, sis not an en-
envy of Big Business s." and
Mr.. Garner is characterized as
''the watchdog of the Treas
ury."
The book cites "the enor-
nous increase" in appropria-
tions for the expense of gen.
eral government since the Re-
publican Party came into pow
er in 1921, as compared with
1916, the last peace year before
the war under a Democratic
Administration. Then, with
out comment, it attributes to
the Democratic Congess the
credit of lowering appropria-
tions for the fiscal year OF 1888,
as compared with those for
1882.
Six arguments familiar in
the wet debate for repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment are adj
vanced in favor of scrapping
prohibition.
With regard to unemploy-
ment, the book declares <that
President Hoover drifted from
an attitude of See nothing;
say nothing; do nothing. i.
into resistance to the fact that
unemployment existed"

for the Presidency is stressed,

running mate, Speaker John
N. Garner, of Texas, goes back
to log-cabin beginnings in
Michigan, where the Demo-
cratic Vice-Presidential nomi-
nee was born, and roots his
family tree in colonial DAYS.

START THEM RIGHT

Growing children need a
great deal of restful sleep to
offset the strain, mental and
physical, of growth, of school
life and of modern conditions
of living. They need nourish-
ing food and at regular times.
They should have some time
every day for play, preferably
out of doors. They should also
have other wholesome recrea-
ton, but at times that will not
interfere with the school rou-
tine" These were some of the
suggestions made by DIR. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, in re-
Spouse to the question asked
by a great many mothers at
this season: ''Now that our
boys and girls have started
back to school after the free
dom of vacation time, how can
we keep them in good physical
condition and strengthen their
resistance to disease?"
'My first suggestion" DR..
Riley said, sis to start them
right. We have heard a great
deal in recent years about al
lowing children to have plenty
of opportunity for self develop
ment. But isn't it about time
to begin re-cultivating the old
fashioned virtues of self con-
troll and obedience? 1t re-
quires both of these to get a
child into the habit of getting
up early enough in the morn
ing to sit down to an unhurried
brec kf lst-but that is the hab-
it that sets the pace for prac-
t1cally the whole days work.
The breakfast should be sim
pie, but nourishing and salts
flying.
Tne amount of sleep a
growing child needs depends
1pon hic age. A child in the
lower graues, one from six to
eight years old, needs twelve
hours sleep every night. The
average nine or ten-year-old ,
can get along with eleven
hours; tie child from eleven to
thirteen needs ten hours and
the older girls and boys-those
from fourteen to sixteen-need |
at least nine hours sleep every
night. Some of them need |
more. School physicians and |
others who have made special
studies of the health and gen
eral well-being of school child
rem all agree that the child
who gets too little sleep shows
the effect of it in fatigue during
hours, in nervous strain,
in inability to make the grades
and in susceptibility to colds
and other illnesses.
"All children need some free
play time, and if possible, it !
should be spent out of doors.
They need other recreation too,
but it should not interfere with
the regular hours for sleep and
for school work
come first. Let them
have their special recreation
on Friday or Saturday, then
they can sleep later the next
morning to make up for it.
Like many other jobs that !

mothers have to tackle, start
ing a regular routine of this
sort is no easy task. But any
mother who helps her children
to establish such habits, can
feel that she is laying the best
possible foundation for good
general health, for steady
nerves and for the power to re-
sist disease"
