The Davao japanese are credited with

MOTHER HEARS
AIR TRIBUTE
To GARNER

NEW YORK, March % (U.S).
The human qualities of Speaker
t5arner, "the busiest man in
America" were pictured to vast
radio audience last night by Fra
zier Hunt, author and newspaper
correspondent.
Speaking over the .WJZ-NBC.
network, Hunt addressed a part
Of his talk to Aunt Sarah Gar
ner," the Speakers 81-year-old
mother, who was listening in"
back home in the little town of
Detroit, Texas. Hunt said:
'Tf you don't hear from him
as often as you like, Aunt
Sarah don't worry, but re-
member he is just about the
busiest man in America. You
see he has only a majority of
three Democrats in the House
of Representatives, so he has to
keep all the machinery oiled up
and nicely moving or he won't
be able to get anything DONE"
Tells of Pioneers
Hunt gave a graphic account
of the sturdy Garner pioneers
who founded their homes in the
wide-open spaces of Texas. Then
he told of the rise of Speaker
Garner to the post in the Ma
tional Government which he now
holds, adding:
Speaker Garner is one of
the most popular men in Wash
ingtOn, is Shrewd, intelligent, a
sharp and witty Off-hand de-
batter, has a world Of common
sense to draw from, and q
knack of handling men,"
Paying a fine tribute to Mrs.
Effie Garner, the Speakers wife,
Hunt said:
"She is fine, kind, mother
ly woman and the only person
in the world who thinks any
more of John Garner than she
does, may possibly be the little
old lady down in Detroit, Tex,
who brought him into the
world.
Real Americans
"All three of them are real
Americans, simple, straightfOr-
ward, shrewd, intelligent,
hOmeIy Americans. They are
of the finest pioneer type. The
blood of a half-dOzen genera
tiOnS of true Americans flows
through their veins. All
America can be proud of
them.

tax. If they had all paid, the yields
of revenue would have averaged
about $4,000 per year. Table AZ
shows that aboutone-fourth of the
potential capitation taxpayers actu-
ally apid. The reason for this small
tax yield is that the assessment is so
small that it does not pay to push
collections, and as consequence
few people who do not pay a proper
ty tax pay the capitation tax. AS ad-
ministered at present it is only an
addition tax on land owners.
The second most important source
of receipts is the revenue from the
county offices. The most important
revenue yielding office in the three
counties is the office of recorder of
deeds, the yields of which have been
presented in Table Is. In New Castle

Nine out of every ten of the per-
sons killed in automobile accidents
in this country during the past few
years were victims CT drivers who
have had mere than a sears expe-
rience behind the wheel. Persons
with less than a months driving ex-
perience were involved in only per
cent of the non-fatal accidents. OPP
orators of cars, with experience be-
tween months and 6 months, were
involved in one per cent of the ia
talities and one per cent of the nom
fatal mishaps.
During the past two years drivers
between the ages Ct 13 and "a years
figured in more than 30 per cent of
the accidents in which persons were
killed and in about Ore-fOurth of the
mishaps resulting in injuries.
Safety Sally, representing the
Delaware Safety Council, says: "Act-
ual figures show that in unls country
one person is killed every sixteen
minutes in an automobile accident.
That's something to think about and
an inducement to drive carefully"
Records indicate that more than
a fifth of all fatalities happen on
Sunday, with Saturday, Friday and
Monday ranking in order in the
number of deaths.
A man may have a mechanically
perfect car but because of careless
driving he may cause an accident
that results in serious injury or
death to himself or others.
