HIGHWAY MENACE

The popular belief that a majority OF
highway accidents are caused by
reckless drivers has been exploded
according to Colonel Frank W. Matson
state railway and warehouse commits
sioner and president of the Minnesota
Safety Council.
Colonel MatSon said that while the
reckless" type of driver is probably
responsible for most mishaps on city
streets, surveys conducted by the Ma
tional Safety Council and the Mime
sofa Safety Council show that most of
the accidents on rural highways are
caused by drivers who are generally
considered fairly competent.
He explained his surprising statement
by saying that most drivers are poor
judges of stopping time after they
reach a certain speed and many drive
cars with mechanical defects of which
they are unaware.
Poor eyeSight is often the cause of
highway accidents, he said. Fatigue
that comes after hearty meal or
from many hours of driving makes even
the best motorists lessen their attention
to driving. Unusual scenery or con-
verSation with other persons in the car
also diStractS many.
Colonel MatSon warns motorists to
be especially careful while passing other
cars and going around long curves at
high speeds. The slightest misjudge-
ment or minor mechanical breakdown
such as a blowout in either of these
instances may cause a fatal accident.
Improper wheel alignment often tends
to throw a car off the road on curves,
he said
Advising every motorist to have his
car thoroughly inspected and its faults
corrected, he calls attention to the free
inspection and certification service of
fered by the safety council at auth
orized stations in many towns The
safety councils ok" sticker is a
certificate of mechanical safety of the
vehicle and of the safety interest of tine
owner, he said.
Another popular belief that has been
exploded, Colonel MatSon said, is that
drunken drivers cause more accidents
than moderate drinkers.
Scientific research conducted by the
National Safety Council reveals that
the driver who has drunk as little as
one average highball is great deal
slower to function intelligently in case
of emergency than the driver in normal
condition.
Actual observation shows that the
average driver who gets drunk seldom
gets far before he runs amuck or falls
asleep. Often he realizes his con-
dition and does not try to drive. The
moderate drinker, however, feels more
confident when stimulated by alcohol
and is therefore a greater highway
menace.
"The question of drinking and driv-
ing has taken on greater Importance
since it has become apparent that the
Eighteenth Amendment is likely to be
repealed" Col. MatSon declared mo
matter what PERSONS views on the
liquor question are he should recognize
this and cooperate in encouraging edu-
cational programs against driving while
drinking"

The local diamond ball league plans
to send the city champion to the State
tournament at Duluth. This, however
cannot be done unless the public CO.
operates by the paying of one thin
dime for ticket to see the league
play-offs for the championship. Each
player in the league has promised to
buy ticket and to sell another. See
that you get yours!
There has been no charge for the
IS or more D-ball games played
in Ely this summer and asking 10
cents for the final play -offs is not
asking too much. The champion
ship team should be rewarded with
trip to the State games. Help
out by buying ticket.
Plenty of championship contests are
being played in and around Ely these
days. The Shagawa Country Club is
staging their annual tourney; the
diamond ball league play-offs will start
sometime next week; the first annual
open tournament of the Ely Tennis
Club begins around the first of next
month. They cost you nothing. Pick
the sport you like and watch the con-
testants perform.

now. Should it do so, life
would be one battle after
another.
A concerted movement on
the part of the range munich
palities to get together and
decide to cut tax levies ap-
preciably by the middle of
October, probably would in
duce the industry to pay up at
the end of October. They have
asked and have been denied
this relief and it is the opinion
of the majority on the ranges
that should such relief be forth
coming as an assured fact, the
taxes would be paid. Range
officials owe it to the taxpayer
to try and effect some kind of
a settlement before the levies
are spread in October.

Great Britain in its new trade treaties

The British treaty with, for instance,

This development is merely one Of
the almost innumerable Illustrations of
the fact that as governments go more

the negotiations for the interchange OF
industrial and agricultural goods across
their frontiers. National planned
