THE ABC OF SAFETY

The cause of safety has very simple
and important A. B. c. The letters mean
Always Be Careful.
That motto should govern conduct in
every home, in every place of business
and especially in every automobile. Be-
cause it is constantly violated, thousands
of people die needlessly each year, $4,000
of them in motor accidents alone, and
property damage runs into the billions In
no other nation do accidents take so great
a toll.
There is nothing difficult about
playing safe The main thing to re-
member is to never take a needless chance
never do anything unnecessarily that
might lead to injury. An automobile
driver, for example, can probably pass
cars on curves nine hundred and ninety
nine times without anything happening.
On the thousandth time he may kill and
MAIN and injure. The element of risk is
always there-a little thought will reduce
it to a minimum.
There is no greater and more al
solute waste than that caused by accidents.
No kind of waste possesses less justifica-
tion-the unavoidable accident is so rare
as to be almost non-existent. Nearly every
accident is caused because someone was
reckless, careless, ignorant. Remember
the A. B. C. of safety-and you will be
doing your part to eliminate hazards that
menace every citizen.

PECULIAR CUSTOMS

Among the curious customs which
have influenced mankind, one of the most
interesting, and often amusing, is that sys-
TEN of religious prohibitions known as
taboo. This system attained its fullest
and most complicated development among
the native island inhabitants of Polynesia,
from Hawaii to New Zealand, but its
traces may be discovered in most parts of
the world, even among supposedly civilized
peoples.
The word taboo in its ordinary
sense means set apart. or sacred, and the
persons or things so set apart were usually
designated by kings, chiefs and priests.
Certain periods of religious cere-
monies were marked by strict taboos, dur
ing which all fires and lights were extin-
guished, no canoe was launched, no one
bathed, no dog might bark, no pig grunt
no cock crow The animals were caused
to observe the taboo by having their
mouths tied up.
In New Zealand the places where
great chiefs had rested were taboo or
sacred, and fences were placed around the
spots, so no one might tread thereon.
1t was believed that as a penalty for
the violation of certain tabOos the offender
would swell up and die, but the priests
were able to prevent such dire con-
sequences by performing certain mystical
ceremonies for suitable fee. Violations
of taboo were often punished by death
mr. at least bv a sort of iudicial robbery
whereby the unlucky violator was despoiled
of all his property.
These are only few of the innumer
able strange customs associated with the
taboo and its attendant superstitions. But
if we will but look around us we may dis
cover beliefs and customs in vogue today
which are not far removed from those of
the native Polynesians, so far as nationality
is concerned

TWO HEALTHY GIRLS

Last December the judges of a con-
test held in Chicago by a national live
stock exposition to find the healthest girl
in the United States were stumped. Two
of the contestants were so equally perfect
that after much inspection and discussion
the judges decided to call it a tie.
The two girls were Clista Millspaugh
of Mount Pleasant, Ia, and Shirley Drew
OF Fayette, Mo-, who Won their honors in
competition with hundreds of girls rep
resenting all sections of the country.
1t is somewhat remarkable that in a
similar contest held few days ago at the
Century of Progress the same two girls
We're again adjudged the finest specimens
OF healthy young females, among other
hundreds entered in the nationwide COM
petition. But this time the judges did not
declare tie. They awarded first place to
Miss Millspaugh, and second place to Miss
Drew.
When asked the inevitable questions
about her life and habits, Miss Millspaugh
said: Il eat all kinds of food we have on
the farm and / get lots of work, play and
sleep | love to milk cows, pitch hay, ride
horses, and play baseball and basketball. -

FLORIDA HAS
FAIR TRIUMPH
State Praised Highly by
President Dawes of

ChicagO.-The exhibit of the
State of Florida at A Century of
Progress-the Chicago Worlds Fair

trayals ever seen anywhere and,
separately. sho.Js the art of exhib-
iting in its most developed form
Business men and women from
everywhere car see the exhibit with

exhbiting their own wares.
President Rufus @. Dawes of A
Century OF Progress made that ex-
preston today following a trip
through the Florida exhibit with a
party of friends. He has shown a
high interest in 1t since the open
ing of A Century of Progress and
has counseled all of his friends to
see ii.
"Heretofore,s said Mr.. Dawes,
81 have made my thanks to Gov
ernor David Sholtz and tile MEM
bers Of his commission and to the
able staff OF the exhibit, and | now
wish to thank all of the people for
what they have done. 1t is splen-

Approximately 100000 persons

ents, director of promotion. that
another nine million will see 1t this
year. When It is considered that the
population of Florida Is 100000.
this means that more than ten times
the population of the state will have

The Florida exhibit, with its gar
den, occupies the largest single
exhibit space in the court of the
Hall of States. 1t is a complete,
self-contained showing of Florida,
with the segments blending so har-
mOniously that there is no one ex-
hibit standing out from the others.
The architecture on one side of the
exhibit hall is Spanish and on the
other classical. with the balconies
Of the two house-front making bal
comics for the exhibit room. The
balconies are extended around each
end of the exhibit hall.
In the rear is a tropical garden
with over seven hundred varieties
of Florida plants. 1t is housed in
celoglass, a new product that is a
variation of glass, in that it con-
tains no lead, and thus admits the
ultraviolet rays Of the sun, Civ
ing tile vegetation a natural sun
light. Vegetables grown under cello
glass are practically the same In
their yitamin content as vegetables
grown in the open.
The garden, in addition to con-
tanning vegetation, has fish, rocks
and birds.
Around the lower walls on the
inside Of the exhibit hall there are
three dimenslonal animated show
ings Of Florida scenes and activi-
ties. All are by Charles Z. Plastow.

The latest development is the FERA
policy of giving Federal relief bounties to

workers seek to keep their jobs when they

workers to walk out while millions of

When one business concern buys goods
