ordinance. However, in nearly all these
cases a petition was presented without the
names of those endorsing it. The proper
course for opponents of the ordinance is
to get the names of all these protestanGs

culated, along with the names of all other
opponents of the measure. The matter
may then be placed before Council for
final action.

With the public sentiment demanding
more than ever before safer and more
careful operation of motor vehicles on
streets and highways The Times-News to-
day presents new feature, 'Drive Care
fully Today" which will appear each is
sue. This newspaper has long been inter
ested in reducing the constantly mounting
toll of death, injury and property damage
in traffic accidents and it is believed this
series of illustrated, brief safety studies
will cause motor vehicle owners and or-
orators to realize their individual respon-
sibility while at the wheel and that as a
result of more careful operation the traffic
toll will be reduced.
:. Drive Carefully Today is approved
and made available to readers OF The
Times-News by the state and county high
way safety committees sponsored by the
Carolina Motor Club. Senator A. H. Gwyn,
Reidsville, is chairman of the North Caro-
lima state committee.
These safety messages were used daily
for more than year by the Minneapolis
Journal cooperating with the Automobile
Club of Minneapolis. Three score outstano-
ing daily and weekly newspapers OF the
Carolinas have agreed to use the series IN
an effort to curb the traffic toll, which,
with thousands Of additional cars on the
road this year, may reasonably be expect
ed to exceed last years peak unless it is
checked perceptibly. In 1888 there were
853 traffic accident deaths reported IN
North Carolina and 276 in South Carolina.
More than 5000 persons were seriously IN
jured. ....t.- b....,.,.

principal speaker himself, who
can hold his remarks within 20

HOGGING THE TIME
By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

the national capital to Georgia
to deliver a special address, was
held back so long by the wordy
introduction of a local luminary
that he resentfully refused to
talk after he was presented. He
asserted that the ground had
been so well covered by his in
PRODUCER that there was no need
for him further to occupy the
time of the assemblage.
One speaker whose time had
been appropriated by the person
preceding him informed the aud
fence when the finally got a
chance to talk, that he had time
merely to tell them one joke! "a
man driving along a country
road,"N said the speaker, passed
close to a barnyard where a
, farmer was feeding hogs corn.
= Don't you know called out
the farmer, that if you would
cook that corn, your hogs would
get fat in much less time"
'Humph! SnOrted the farmer,
what does a hog care about
timer"
Irony as a plaything or a
weapon is like the bomerang-it
may be dangerous to the. user.
Some time ago Will Rogers in
one Of his broadcasts ironically
explained that doggy was a lit.
tie prairie dog that followed the
cow boys to hear them sing; Will
also averred that the word was
pronounced "doggie." From all
over the nation, Will was jumped
on by persons who knew that a
doggy was motherless calf, and
that the word was pronounced
with long "o'' as in ego" Will
had to use up the, better part of
his next broadcast to explain he
had been joking. 1t is likely
that many who heard Wills first
statement about the doggy, did
not hear his explanation; prob

Editor The Times-News:
Mr.. Jordan and Mr.. Higgins
have made some charges about
county officers which should be
looked into. The people should be
willing to pay as many men all
they are worth to do the work at
the courthouse well, neither
should they pay less than a living
wage for full time work. Beyond
that they should not go.
Revolution, Bruce Cation says
in an editorial in last nights
Times-News, is not started by a
few radical-minded brain trusters
but by the people back home
when they get mad enough. And
so reform which is better form
of revolution will come when
clear-headed men demand a
change for the better.
Many states are now success
fully reducing taxes by county
consolidation. Perhaps it should
be tried in North Carolina. The
chief opposition to such move
would come from the office hold
ers themselves and to ward off
such change they would do well
to manage their jobs as economi-
callv as possible.
Perhaps a non-partisan tax
payers committee should look in
to the matter and make recon-
mendations which would form a
platform for the successful can
didate for office this fall.
Yours truly,
p. II. CASE.

 Reaction in the silver shares was brought on selling of yesterdays buyers who had incorrectly inter" Dreted silver news late in the pre-" vious session. The White House statement on silver was considered indefinite and silver enthusiasts in Wall street prepared 10 await more concrete developments before n1ak- ing new commitments.
 Trading was moderately active al the outset ln the general market, but 1t dwindled after the opening. As silver shares declined the list was unsettled. ChrysIer was firm. Telephone eased. Rubbcrs dipped with rubber futures prices.
