possible for them to take the passen-

Survivors of the hurricane, which
seems to have done it's greatest work
of death and destruction Monday
night, told stories of stark horror in
relating their experiences and obser-

To prevent diseases which always
spring up in the wake of dead and

to burn scores of the bodies that were
not identified and for whom there
was no other mode of burial provided

All signers of Star safe driving
pledges who have not obtained wind

known to The Star Council by tele-
phoning Nationay 5000, by addressing

been urged by such leaders of civic
thought as Director Van Duzer, Dis
trict director of motor vehicles and
traffic; Maj Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, and Judge Gus A
Schuldt, who frequently presides in
Traffic Court They take the stand
that the display of the red, white
and blue safety sticker is an important
step toward the building up of a
safety consciousness In Washington.
The sticker serves as constant re-
minder. not only to the pledge signer
himself, but also to every other mo-
torist and to every pedestrian who
observes the sticker.

"Tlle sticker," Maj. Brown observed,
"is a badge of honor"
II know" he said, that every po-
liceman has q warm spot in his heart
for the motorist who Is showing his
'colors' He knows that there is a
friend who is out there in the street
to aid in reducing accidents.
1.-THE stickers will keep drivers safe
ty conscious. That is the whole idea
of the campaign"
Judge Schuldt, who obtained a
supply Of safe driving pledge cards
and windshield stickers for the use
of motorists hailed before his court,
expressed the view that the safety
sticker serves as a constant reminder.
1T will enable one to live up to
his pledge" the Judge said. 1T is a
badge of honor and not only will re-
mind the driver of the car that he
is enlisted in the army for safety
but will remind the driver without
one that campaign is on and that
he had better look out. I am all for
the stickers."
Mr.. Van Duzer pointed out that
the sticker. as the emblem of the
pledged safe driver, makes the driver
riding behind it think about safety.

avoid accidents and swift, certain and
vigorous punishment for those who
refuse to be educated"
Commenting on the five-year pro-
gram, Mr.. Van Duzer In Washington
today stated that he was glad to see
the setting up of perpetual national
activity in the interests of safety.
Prom the outset here I have been
an enthusiastic supporter of The
Stars drive on death and wanton de-
struction. I feel that the campaign
has been a great success, and I am
only too glad to pledge Washington
as far as I am able to take part in
this newest program similar to The
Stars. hope its goal will be
reached"
The response coming from all parts
of the country is extremely encourag-
ing to the National Council officials,
Managing Director w. H. Cameron
stated. I'VE are deeply appreciative
of the kilograms and letters that are
pouring in, not only from high State
and city officials, but from the general

about safety" he added. THE object
Of the campaign is to make every one
think about safety.
I have been told that some people
who have signed the pledge for care
ful driving are afraid to put on the
sticker in case that If they do make
mistake or are involved in an acci-
dent they will be Inundated or fined
more severely. This is untrue.
THE signer Of a safety pledge is
not superhuman. He or she means
that he is doing the hest that he
can do. Show that you are on the
traffic honor roll. If you are for
safety, show your colors."

the low September sun stared red-eyed at
the green courthouse square. A crowd of men.
together with some boys and few negro
slaves with baskets on their heads, lined the
road, waiting for the coach. The Colonel
noted this with deliberation. When the
coach reached the midst of the gathering. he
flung open the door and jumped out.
Citizens Of North Carolina" he cried. II
am Aaron Burr. illegally imprisoned by the
Federal Government. ask the protection of
your State"
The crowd drew back and stood undecided.
Many of them turned for guidance toward a
gaunt bespectacled man sardonically viewing
the scene from the courthouse steps. He
shook his head. turning down the corners of
his mouth.
ITO hell with the traitor" he shouted
The crowd stood still. Captain Spaight
and the two sergeants ran up. The Captain
lifted Burr in his arms and carried him
ANONYMOUSLY to the coach and threw him in.
"Its lucky old Gid Bullock was there"
said Captain Spaight as the coach rumbled off.
You never know what crowd will do
without leader"
Bmr's eyes narrowed as he ransacked his
memory. He marveled that he could have

IKE a chip on a muddy stream, the
etagecoach to Richmond foundered
4 along the red-clay road meandering
sluggishly over the green Carolina
hills
The prisoner sat stoically upright. wedged
between two sergeants. The rain had found
crack in the roof of the coach When he
leaned forward, the water dripped on the
black silk bow that held his powdered queue
and thence waddled playfully down his spine:
when he slumped back in the seat. it spat
tered on his ruffled white stock therefore he
sat upright and caught it in his three-cornered
hat. Captain Bushrod Spaight. whose Gar
gantuan body in full regimentals covered the
opposite seat addressed his prisoner:
This damnable weather Colonel, doesn't
seem to bother you much
The prisoner turned his serene gaze from
the window.
When man has very little weather left"
he said calmly, he'll be glad to take any
that comes along
Captain Spaight who was by birth
Vnginian. growled You've got the ad-
vantage of us. We've got to come back
through this god-forsaken country. while you
can stay in Richmond and be hanged"
The prisoner contemplated the mud
covered silver buckles on his rather small
slippers Then he gazed through the window
at the streaming fields of cotton and the
dripping forests of pines and oaks.
The imminence of his execution had occu-
pied his mind since his capture in Alabama.
He felt that he ought not to be convicted, but
he had practiced law too long to have much
confidence in the machinery of Justice. Law
is anything he had once said. which is
boldly asserted and plausibly maintained"
He had reason to believe that the Sage of
