TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR
SAFE DRIVING

With the suggestion that motorists
might delay their trip to the other
world by observing a few simple
driving rules, The Carolina Motor
Club has published ten command
merits for safe drivers:
"Thou shall drive thy car on the
right hand side Of the road with no
object before thee closer than so feet.
"Thou shalt sound thy horn and
make sure that the vehicle operator
in front hears the warning signal be-
fore attempting to pass.
"Thou shall shall respect the rights
of others and show courtesy to thy
fellow motorist with all thy ability.
"Thou shall not stop or turn with
out executing hand signal in keep
ing with thy intentions.
"Thou shall not drive thy vehicle
into moving lane Of traffic unless
it can be done without endangering
myself or others.
"Thou shall question and determine
the right understanding on any
doubtful moter vehicle laws or rules
of the road.
"Thou shall not allow a minor to
operate thy vehicle or allow thy
vehicle to be operated by a careless
or irresponsible person.
"Thou shall determine that thy
vehicle is in good mechanical condi-
ton before operating this vehicle.
"Thou shall not drive at a high
dangerous rate Of speed, pass or
curves or brows of hills unless the
roadway is clearly visible five hun:
bred feet.
"Thou shall have no other object
before thee than to create safety fol-
myself and others in all of thy driv-
ing habits"

Speaking Of the elderly, the papers
note that three men, whose ages
ranged from 81 to Is, were executed
recently in Illinois. There were no old
folks in the group, nor are they usu-
ally found in any march to the scat
fold or the chair. Hoary headed MUIR
derers are scarce, perhaps because
they have found out that the best
way to get even with an enemy is to
let him live.

John D. Rockefeller has just passed
his 96th birthday, and has collected
several million dollars from life in
surance companies as consequence.
That, probably, will call forth the
comment that he has enough and
does not need it, and that small con-
sideration is accorded to the man of
96 who has not been fortunate
enough to be able to keep up his
premiums. All this may be true, yet,
we will wager, that the money will
bring Mr.. Rockefeller no joy or added
comfort. All that he can now enjoy
is an easy chair, shade from the sum-
mer's heat, warmth against the win
ter's cold, and food enough to sustain
the pulsation of his failing heart.
Likely he would be glad to buy back
a vanished youth at the price Of all
his gains. There is little to justify
sympathy for the aged poor and in
the same breath bitter words for the
aged rich. Age and death bring us
all to the same level.

BY sort of diplomatic straw vote,
it has been ascertained that nobody
is going to stand in the way if Italy
concludes to clean up on Ethiopia.
During the past decade, the bars
have been let down considerably in
the matter of profane speech, yet
there are some who still shrink from
speaking, and still more from writing
the statement that so-and-so has no
more chance than a SNOWFALL in Hades.
In the taly-Ethopia affair, it may be
said that if the odds are against any,
one, he has no more chance than
Ethiopia in Africa.

MILL AND MINE
OUTPUT DIPS

Little change was shown in fac
tory production and employment
during April. The output of mines
declined but residential construc-
ton showed a further increase.
These reports were the feature
of the Federal Reserve Boards
monthly summary Of business is
sued yesterday.
The combined output of fac
tories and mines, as measured by
the boards seasonally adjusted
index of industrial production, de-
clined from 88 per cent of the
1923-1925 average in March to Sc
per cent in April. The board said:
"This downward movement re-
Elected chiefly decreases in the
output Of steel, cotton and silk
textiles and bituminOuS coal, off
set in part by increased mill con-
sumption Of wool and the large
output Of anthracite"
At ste-' mills output declined
from 40 per cent Of capacity in
March to As per cent in April.
There was further decline in the
first three weeks of May.
In the automobile industry there
was a further increase in produc-
ton during April. In the tobacco
industry activity was maintained
at recent high levels. The output
of bituminous coal declined sharply
following a period of relatively
high production.

Of RESERVE
OPPOSED

NEW YORK, May 27.-Public
stock ownership of the Federal
Reserve Bank is to be preferred
over Government ownership OF
the systems stock, the Guaranty
Trust Company states in the cur
rent issue of the Guaranty Survey.
Secretary Morgenthau recently
proposed a aforementioned
banking system. 80.
The Guaranty takes issue with
this plan, contending that III a
change in ownership is to be
made" it should be in the direc-
ton of public ownership, with
limitations on the amount Of stock
held by any individual. 1t adds:
ut is in this direction, not in
Government ownership, that
the Federal Reserve banking
system can best be protected
