INATTENTIvE DRIVERS

Driving an automobile Is not
something that necessarily calls fol
great intelligence. Nor does il
necessarily need much mechanical
skill. Some people of very broad
knowledge. who know whole librar-
les full of philosophy, are poor driv-
ers, and a peril on the road. Some
people who are extremely clever with
mechanical tools, yet handle a
steering wheel so recklessly and use
the brake so sparingly. that they too
are unfit.
Good driving is the result of care
! full attention. When n car speeds
, along so fast. over a road where
there are so many chances for things
to happen, the driver needs TO be
wide awake and alert every moment
Things can happen within a few
seconds that may cause a serious
accident.
II the next street intersection is
not clearly open TO your view, some
driver slipping out from behind
those trees may run into your car.
Or those parked cars along a city
street. seemingly empty. may con
ceal someone who is just about To
step in front of yOur machine.
Many drivers feel quite sleepy
when taking long runs. II takes a
constant struggle for them To keep
their eyes open. Driving under that
handicap is perilous. If they dOZe
off single moment. something may
happen. They would better get out
of the car and lie down in some
quiet nook. and try to get brief
nap. They will awake from even ~
minutes sleep refreshed. and able

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS

A successful business concern is
not satisfied unless each year sees
some permanent improvement in its
plant and methods. II has to make
such improvements to keep up with
its competitors.
Similarly community should ex-
pect to get itself in a little better
condition each year. People should
be willing to pay enough taxes so
the schools, streets, and other facili-
ties should constantly improve. And
people should be dissatisfied unless
their home places see a little perma-.
nent gain each year. If those gains
are not obtained; the town falls be-
hind other more progressive places
that are not satisfied with any sta
tionary condition.

JAPAN SAYS no "TERsPASsNG"

The Japanese government seeks
to be the dominating power in the
Far East 1t dislikes attempts by
other nations to obtain any form OF
control over China. That policy Is
not precisely popular in the United
States. where people want a chance
To sell goods To China.
But what do our people propose
to do about il? No one wants to
send his boys over to Asia or pay
taxes. to fight for privileges in China.
People do not generally like mo

prove il is desirable TO tear them up
and ignore them. And il is possible.
if the United States was situated as
Japan is. that our people would feel

MAY DAY

On the first day Of May, il was
once customary in "Merrie England
for the men and maidens TO dance
around the maypOle. They capered
around so Justify. with such shOnts
of exuberance. as to excite the con-
, demnation of the strict Puritans of
those times.
Those were simple old days, and
the romping lads and lassies did not
sit around gloomily discussing the
evils of the time. They took things
as they came. They had none of
what we consider the comforts and
Injuries of life, but they were just
as happy humanity advances in
civilization and invention, yet il
doesn't seem to enjoy life any bet
ter.
Today. on the first of May in many
parts of the world. discomfort eX-
presses itself The unemployed aud
dissatisfied parade the streets, and
riots occur in many European cities.
They don't accomplish anything by
snch disturbances. The world is not
made better by cracking people over
the head.
The first day of May has been
moving day in many American cities.
As such it is a desOlate occasion.
II illustrates the restlessness of the
American people. that every year
about this time. millions of them
nick up their household belongings
and lie themselves TO some other
dwelling or community. thinking
there To be- happier and better suit
ed. They get rid of certain afflic-
tinns that had bothered them, but
they find new ones they had not an
ticipated.
The most rational use of May day, |
If Won own or control even Il square |
rod of land. is to spend some time |
spading up some good earth in which
10 plant some beautiful flowers
They will help give you Il content
ment such that you do not care to
celebrate the next May day as mov-
ing day.

MORTGAGING EARNINGS AND
SAVINGS

State and local Indebtedness of the
4S states now totals s17,5S6, ,5S2, 900
In other words the average per cap
lta debt for borrowings of local d.
visions of government totaled $141-
.32 In 1882. In 1912 II was $S9.SS
On top of this II is estimated the
Federal debt will be around thirty
billion dollars in 1896. This would
mean a per capita average national
debt of nearly double the local debt
or a grand total OF about $4,000 per
capita-$1. 500 for a family of four.
The foregoing figures are for debts
alone which correspond to a mort
gage on the home. which is in ad-
dition TO the current expense of run
ming the home or the government.
II home is heavily mOrtgaged,
the owner goes slow on assuming
new Indebtedness.
1t is time for economy in public
affairs. The people are the govern
ment. The only money government
can spend is what II takes from the
people-all the people.
To pay off a mortgage on your
home you take the money from your
earnings or savings. To pay of
government mortgage. which is your
debt just as much as the mortgage
on your home, yOu also have to take
the money from your earnings or
savings.
Every worker. every employer,
every prOperty-owner, must pay his
share of the bill. There's no way

iciency and economy.

THE LOOKS OF A TOWN

The outside appearance of Il thing
determines its success. The poorly
dressed salesman finds people slow
to buy his goods. If you deliver an
article in cheap and unaltractive
package. il will not sell so well.
Similarly the standing and success
of community depend largely on
the appearance it presents to the
world.
The town with poor looking bust
mess buildings. badly kept home
places. looking like Il failure. Every
owner of property should ask what
he is doing along this line. Ii he
keeps his home place well, lie helps
add value to every piece Of real

his own. If he owns business

he helps bring more business to

One of the surer signs that radio is growing up is the fact that originating points of programs are becoming more diversified. h. stead of having New York as al- most the sole origin of major pro- grams, as in the past, the chains now pick up many of their best offerings from Chicago. Philadei- phia and other cities. Transconti- mental broadcasts, once almost a rarity, are now commonplace. Sat- urday nights, for instance. CBS has four major periods coming from the West Coast: California Sur prise'', Catherine the Great" "Forty-five Minutes in Holly wood', and Guy Lombardo's dance music from the Cocoanut Grove.

COLONEL RUPERT GIVES
ADVICE REGARDING BEER

New York-CUP)-Colonel Jacob
Rupert, having just signed new
contracts with Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig to play baseball for his New
York Yankees again this year,
leaned back In his chair and talked
about another sport in which he Ia
heavily interested the great
American pasttime of drinking
beer.
The Colonel discusses this SUBJ
ject as an expert. To see a man
gulp down a glass of beer without
reverence or appreciation would
jar his sensibilities more than to
see Babe strike out with the bases
full.
There Is another contract we
have just signed" said the Colonel,
(which Is at least as important az
signing q good ball player. You
know in all the years the French
line has been running passenger
ships into New York they have
never had American beer for their
passengers. Well, they are going
to have 1t now. We Just signed
them."
The Colonel believes that proper
beer drinking almost became a lost
art In the United States during the
dry era and the present generation
will have to learn anew.
Beer ought to be slipped con-
templatively and enjoyed not only
with the tongue and palate, but
with the nose and eyes," said the
Colonel, as he held huge crystal
seidel up to the light and stared
appreciatively through its amber
contents.
