Drivers Who. Use
Horns Not Brakes
Scored By Franks

"The list of deaths and acct
dents during the last year is APP
palling. and due almost solely to
the thoughtiessness of the indi-
vidual driver" Thos. H. Franks,
Kiwanis club president, said. "The
worst part of all this unnecessary
death is the slaughter OF infants
and children. Drivers who hurry
blindly down a street, firm in the
belief that loud blowing on their
horns will clear the way, are a
public menace.
"Most children engrossed IN
play forget the possibility of
death or injury when crossing the
street. The driver sees Il group
of children playing before he
comes near them, and slows down.
This is a very important fact to
remember-use your brakes, IL
stead of depending on your horn.
I've seen many a little boy chase
baseball into the streets to put
somebody out without a thought
for approaching cars"
In 1884, the total number of
persons killed in automobile &C
cidents from infancy to ) years
of age was 1,470, which is 4.01
per cent o. the total number kill
ed in auto accidents. Between the
same age the, number Of persons
injured was 39,110 or IL per
cent of the total. Between the
age of 5 and IA, $500 persons
were killed, or 1916 per cent of
the total, and 143,110 Were in
jured, or Is per cent of the total.
This deplorabie accident record
may be much lessened # drivers
will be on the constant lookout
for children.
There seems to be, in many
drivers, natural aversion for
stopping a single minute when
it's possible to keep going. They
must think the time is wasted,
but this is an idea that is obvi'
ously wrong. A stop of a few
minutes or a short period of slow
driving whenever necessary will
help greatly to reduce the num-
Der of automobile accidents. {

More Accidents on
Farm Than In Any.
Other Occupation

CHICAGO, Oct. 25. (SpeciaD
More accidental deaths occurred
during 1884 in agricultural pur-
suits than in any other occupation,
according to Accident Facts, the
National Safety Councils annual
statistical report. g.
Since agriculture is not gener'
ally covered by compensation laws
he accident situation on farms
has received less attention than
in other industries, and adequate
statistics are not easily obtain
able. However, it is estimated that
4,4OO persons were killed in accl-
dents on farms last year. TINS
figure may be compared with 1900
in mining, quamying, oil and gas
operations, and $500 in the con-
struction industry. The total
deaths in all gainful occupations
was 10000. Contrary to popular
impression, most industrial acci,
dents do not occur in factories
but to workers in other occupa-
tons. =.
The chief cause of farm accl-
dents, the report indicates, is ma
chinery. Such accidents cause
about 20 per cent of agricultural
fatalities. Second in Importance
are accidents caused by animals
Falls and vehicular accidents each
cause nine per cent of the fatal
ties. Excessive heat and lightning
are important factors. ., Z -

Tires Important =
In Safe Driving

Tires play an important part in
safety driving, Investigations of
accidents show Blowouts, the Ma
tional Safety Council says, are
responsible for many accidents,
and skidding has been the cause
of numerous deaths. These are
both, frequently, the result of
WORKOUT or weakened tires.
Do not abuse the tires. Be care
full to steer clear of sharp rocks,
glass, etc.
Do not overinflate the tires, es-
pecially in hot weather. Air eX-
pands when heated. A blowout
may overturn your car or cause
some other serious accident:
Do not underinflate your tires.
Soft tires make steering difficult,
consume extra power, are apt to
blow out, and are more likely to
be thrown off the wheel than
when properly Inflated.

Questions
OnWedding
AndGuests
BY EMILY POST.

0DEAR MRS. POST: My wedding
is to take place at 10 o'clock
in the morning and will be followed
by a very simple reception for the
families and few nearest relatives
and friends. In this case should the
invitations be for breakfast or a re-
ception, and is it proper to serve
wedding cake and perhaps fruit cup
in the morning."
Answer-At 10 o'clock in the morn
ing the word reception is not quite
right, and neither can it be a break
fast unless the food is that Of an
early morning meal. I think you
would have to serve breakfast coffee
and rolls and perhaps scrambled eggs
and fruit cup and wedding cake to
take home. In the afternoon much
less would be Suficient.
0DEAR MRS POST: I will have
a very small church wedding
and wonder If a wedding veil will
be too formal. My dress will be a
simple afternoon one Of white chiffon
with enough fullneSS in the skirt to
make it seem like short train. Pro-
viding it is suitable for me to wear
o veil, what kind would you suggest?"
Answer-As I so often explain. to
me a bride without wedding veil Is
exactly like a frame with its pic
ture left out! Her veil should, ef
course, be in keeping with the sim
plicity, or elabcrateness. Of the oeher
wedding details. Suitability is, after
all, the first essential Of good taste.
A veil Of tuIle, either of finger-tip
length or one ending in the hem
Of your dress, would be equally suit
able.
"DEAR MRS. POST: I sm to be
married very quietly sand none
of our immedite families can be pres
ent. My fiapce's family Knows all
our plans and that we would like
them with us If it were possible.
Under the circumstances ought to
send them an announcement"
Answer-Yes, because they will GER
tainly be more interested in seeing
them than almost any one else.

Unsatisfactory Nose.

Dear Miss Leeds-I have a small
hump on my nose which really does
not help my looks any. People tell
me it is not as bad as imagine, but
am very self-conscious about il. How
can overcome this feeling? Do you
think my nose will become Straighter
as I grow older? I am quite young
yet. I have a small oval face and
medium sized forehead. What sort of
hats and coiffure should I wear?
Second. My skin is very oily. and
I am bothered with large blackheads
on my nose, which is always shiny.
How can I make my skin drier so
that it will hold powder better?
Third. I have a sister who is IL
years old, feet II inches tall, and
she weighs 95 pounds. Is this cor
rect? DODO F.
Answer-As you grow older think
you will find that you nose is really
a becoming shape. Noses of this type
look better on grown-ups than on
very young girls. Wear your hair as
prettily as you can with a side part
and hair combed of your brow Show
your ears and wear a narrow bandeau.
Curled ends would be attractive, if
you can manage them. Girls Of your
age are often self-conSciouS about one
thing or another. You will outgrow
this uncomfortable feeling. In the
meantime remember that other peo-
pie are too busy with their own af-
fairs to notice what kind of a nose
you have. Cultivate happy, gracious
personality. keep yourself we'll
groomed and people will find you at
tractive. AS to hats, those with brims
minimize the size of a large nose,
while brimless models emphasize it.
Second. I suspect you have the
habit of powdering your nose con-
stantly-this causes the blackheads.
Powder should never be applied over
a foFmer application; the skin must
be thoroughly cleansed and prepared
for the powder before it is used.

your articles and would like your
advice on how to get stout for bath
ing this Summer. am girl 18 years
old, 5 feet / inch tall and I weigh 90

Answer-A good figure that looks
well in the seasons abbreviated bath

earned by systematic cultivation Of
correct health habits. You need to
gain about 10 pounds. In cases OF
persistent underweight it is necessary
to have a doctors advice since failure

Menu Rules
Profits May Vanish
Under System of
Serving Meals.
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

WHEN you take a train at one of
our big terminals and go into the
dining car, do you ever wonder where
the cars are stocked with the variety
of foods on the menu?
Recently I went to the commissary
which serves one of our large rail-
roads. From the station, however,
We journeyed across the river to q
large warehouse which from its re-
frigerated rooms supplies the perish
able foods and from its shelves the
packaged foods. Quantities of rolls
and bread, ice cream and milk are
delivered there each day.
There are separate compartments
labeled with the number Of the din
ner where all the materials which
the steward has ordered are as
sembled for him. This particular
railroad serves more than 1000, 900
meals a year out of three head
quarters. Early each morning the
wholesale markets are visited and the
daily supplies Of fruits and vegetables
are bought.
In one corner Of the big building
is a section which duplicates in size
and equipment the usual dining car,
and there the chefs are trained to
work in a small space. Both the mar
ket and the food preparation problems
for the restaurant on wheels are diff
ferent in many respects to that of the
stationary restaurant.
The best quality Of food Is pur-
chased. The luncheon served to me
at the headquarters was prefect. The
meal included jellied consomme, lob
ster Newberg and caramel custard.
cannot always say so much, however,
of the food I have eaten on Eastern
railroads. The salad bowl which is
now featured in one railroad has had
q general appeal. New angles in the
training of the chefs will probably
soon include other cooking. 1t may
interest you to know that the rail-
roads lose a considerable sum on
every portion served to travellers.

Pointers for Washington Women Playing the Game of Doesc
Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Let Oficious Friends Stampede
You Into Marriage.

~ EAR MISS DIX: am young
man Of 81. have been go
ing with q girl for four years.
- She Is now 10. would like
to get married, but my salary will not
permit me to support a wife. In the
community in which we live there
are several people who have peen
irving to marry US OF for the last
year. Last week they give two show
ers for us. They were both surprises
to US. They also had big write-up
in the paper about the wedding which
they stated would take place In tne
next few days. My girl wants to go
through with this, but I am afraid
she doesn't realize the financial con-
dition I am in. But I hate to EN-
barrass her, so please tell me what
to do. y. a. a.
Answer-Evidently o lot OF very
meddlesome people are trying to rush
you into q marriage for which you are
not prepared, and I greatly fear that
the girl Is q party to the proceedings.
For it seems impossible that anybody
could have so little delicacy and sense
Of propriety as to give a bridal shower
and put q wedding announcement in
the newspaper without, at least, the
tacit consent Of the girl.
COME cynic said that we all bear
- with great fortitude our friends
misfortunes, and perhaps that is why
so many people indulge in the dan
gerous pastime of matchmaking. They
know that some one else is going to
have to stand for the misery If they
inveigle or bulldoze two people into
getting married who should never
marry each other or who are in no
financial condition to marry.
This is precisely your case. No mat
ter how much you love the girl, you
know you could not make her happy
If you married her because you could.
not support her. You know that yoH
would both be miserable If you were
torn with anxiety over your bills aEd
if you were cold and hungry 9nd
half clothed. So you very wisely vi ant
to put of marriage until you can
offer your bride something beS Sides
starvation.
RUT these other people should
worry about your troubles 1t is
not their door outside which the wolf
will be bowling. 1t is not tn Fly who
will, perhaps, agonize over a sick wife
or little child for whom they cannot
get doctor nor proper f8od nor
medicines. That is your tough luck,
and so they heartlessly try to put you
into a jam that they think will leave
you no choice but marriageI
Why any girl insists on marrying
q man who cannot su pport her,
Heaven only knows. But they do.
