HUEY LONG, REV. (. E. COUCHEIN
 ARE DISCUSSED
Conservative Press FOrc- ed Their Success Said
 We'll Known Publisher

Hyde Park, N. r., Sept. 18.-- (UP)-The conservative press of America is responsible for the suc- cess of the Huey Longs and Father Coughlins, J. David stern, Philadelphia newspaper publisher. told President Roosevelt to-day.
 Lack of presentation of the lib- eral side of the picture, he ex- plained, has driven large sec ton of the people to seek 1t where they can find 1t.
 That Is the reason" he added. "why Long and Coughlin were so popular as radio speakers. They supplied the wants overlooked by conservatism"
 Chicago as Example
 Stern then cited the Chicago district as an example, pointing to the Chicago Times as the only paper presenting liberal argu. ments. The rest he remarked, were conservative.
 "Just as dog will eat grass il he Is hungry enough, so will tho American people of liberal ten. dencies appease their appeteite by following liberal thinkers" he said
 Stern also discussed Pennsylvania politics with MT. Roosevelt, pre- dieting that Philadelphia will elect a democrat mayor this fall. He said the party was united behind John Kelly for mayor.
 The publisher, a close friend of the president also touched on the subject of the defeat of the pro- posed state constitutional amend ment. Such an amendment, he said would have lifted the heavy tax burden, among other things, on real estate.

The Italian navy is massed on either side of the long peninsula that lies between the Tyrrhenean and Adriatic seats and stretches down toward Africa.
 The French fleet = built year after year to outright the Italian fleet is in the Mediterranean and Atlantic.

1t Must Be Done

Mechanically speaking, the automobile of today
is infinitely safer than that Of ten years ago. Brak-
es have reached perfection. Lights have been vastly
improved. Steering mechanisms are fool proof.
Car bodies can stand terrific punishment.
Similar progress has taken place in road build
ing. The modern highway, with traffic lanes,
banked turns and "skidless'' surfaces, is a tribute
to engineering science, which has done wonders in
seeking to make driving safe and pleasant.
Yet automobile accidents continue to rise; both
In number and severity. The motorist has no abb.
He can't blame the car or the road for mishaps,
save in an infinitesimal percentage of instances.
The human element; and the human element alone
Is at fault in ninety odd accidents out Of a hundred.
Most drivers are competent. Most are careful.
Most realize that an automobile is a potential Kill
Ter. But that minoriy of motorists which is either
careless, incompentent, or plain reckless, menaces
US all. Perhaps ten per cent Of drivers fall into one
OF those categories; and tn. lives, health and prop
erty of the other ninety per cent is placed in peril
because of them.
Last year saw $4,000 people killed; unneces-
sarily; in auto accidents. 1t is the duty of every
citizen and every unit of government to see that a
different record is made this year. Traffic laws
must be @odernized and enforced with the utmost
s~trictness. The dangerous driver has been given
every chance. He has been urged to change his
ways, and has refused. Now he must be forced to
drive safely; or be deprived Of the right to drive on
public streets and highways.

The Best Investment

How would this strike you as an investment OPP
portunity:
You are offered chance to place a share OF
YOUR monthly or annual earnings; as much or as
little as YOU like; in the hands of a concern which
is operated under strict laws, which has survived
half a dozen depressions without experiencing ser1-
GUS difficulties, and which has met every obllga-
ton to the letter. When you start placing your
money with the concern you stipulate, In advance
Just how much capital you wish to purchase, over
ten or twenty or more years, and your payments
are arranged accordingly.
If you maintain your payments, as agreed In your
contract with the concern, you or your estate Will
receive in the future not only what you paid IN, but
q good deal more. Should it become impossible
for you to continue paying after several years, you
can surrender your contract and receive back a
large percentage of what you have paid IN.
Should you become pressed for funds, you may
borrow against the money you have paid IN, at q
low rate of interest, and pay your borrowing back
on easy terms.
And; most important of all should you die be-
fore your payments are completed, your dependents
will receive at once the full amount you contracted
for: even though it be 100000 and you yet have
paid in as little as only one payment.
That sounds like a Utopian opportunity; ana
might saw it doesn't exist. Yet that Is precisely
what life insurance offers; safety, stability, a reason
able profit, and invaluable protection for your
family. And that's why life insurance has been
