) sTlL KILLING THEM

Ds91ose all possible publicity should be given it.
tnehtnn IS made here of the climbing toll Of death
on the South Carolina highways. May, 1884, has
record of 18 dead FIVE more than May a year
ago. and the deaths this year up to the end Of
May total 101 against IA for the same months Of
1893.
How long will cautious drivers permit this
slaughter on the highways to continue before they
determine to check it? Let US suppose that all
who drive with reasonable care and all who fear
death on the roads should organize in every coun-
ty in the state and adopt measures to enforce all
laws against reckless and careless driving and
driving by those who are disqualified by age and
physical infrmities. They would form the large
majority of motorists. Their influence would lead
to the passage of laws needed to relieve the ter
rible situation that now exists. Proper punishment
would be meted out to drunken drivers, who would
not be permitted longer to escape with rdiculously
low fines and to pay those fines without due puo-
licity Persons who drive would have to qualify in
every way. Their eyesight, and hearing would be
tested; their knowledge of traffic rules would, be
subject to examination; their record on the high
ways would be he'd for Qs against their right to
drive. .,.. AIR.
The reason more people are being killed and in
jured in highway accidents this year is that public
opinion has not asserted itself Careful drivers of
South Carolina direct public opinion. They are
numerically strong enough to do it.-Spartanburg

SMOKING FOR GIRLS

Americans have a way of TAX
ing their styles and fads very
seriously; so perhaps it was not
to be wondered at that, when
smoking for women began to be
"the thing" it should have gain
ed Roadway at rate that was
never dreamed of at first. Like
ultra pink nails and ultra low
backs it has simply had to be
taken, on by the kind of girls and
women who adopt any style Of
hair-dressing and any shade of
color that it all the rage, wheth-
Ell it happens to be becoming to
them or not.
We sometimes forget, in our
somewhat emotional discussion Of
the pros and cons of smoking for
girls, that there is a side tG<the
picture that is quite definitely
removed from our likes and dis
likes, our prejudices and our
cravings for following the mode.
And that is, that we are dealin%
with an agent that, while no.
especially potent in its effects
upon some folks, has for others
a very active and powerful drug
action. With most people, too,
it is very definitely habit-form-
ing! "a: e. 49, ,.... .t
When parents consider the
question of whether or not their
daughters shall smoke, they will
do WE'LL not to let this side of
the problem be obscured by eth
err the sentimental or the fash
ion aspect of the fad. How
harmless is the drug effect in
the case of your daughter-how
