Willard E. Givens, executive secretary

deny the laudable purposes of the ad-
ministration's move to help the destitute
youth of the country in obtaining an
education. But he levels justified ridi-
cule at the methods chosen to make
such aid effective.
The youth project is characteristic of
other such ventures. For many years

with personnel and by experience. to

Expert Opinion.

Governor Harold c. Hoffman of New
Jersey, former motor vehicle commits
sioner of that State, writing in the
American Magazine, makes an indirect
contribution to the safety campaign of
The Star. BY reason of his experience
1t may be agreed that he speaks with
authority; he is an expert in traffic
problems, his attitude is scientific and
unprejudiced. The public, then, should
accord his opinion the serious conSid-
Grafton which it deserves. And the
aspect of the matter which he particu-
larry stresses is the psychological one
1--WE who now drive at sixty, seventy
and eighty miles an hour" he says, "are
already away over our heads. Few of us
are either physically or emotionally
equipped for that sort of thing. Fewer
still have the slightest conception of
what we are doing. We know that the
engine has the power, that the car rides
comfortably, that it seems no faster
than thirty-hve did fifteen years ago.
and that's about ALL"
The forces over which the driver sup
poses he has control are deceptive-they
seem to be more easily governed than
in fact they are. Mr.. Hoffman sum-
marizes the effect when he declares:
'aaThis -minute-m man takes
a lifetime of work, an investment Of
nearly a thousand dollars in a car, the

suffering, anguish and future security
of his wife and kids-wraps them all in
a bundle and tosses 1t out OF the Win
dow" And in certain average number
of instances fatal crashes enSue. The
elemental cause at work in the circum-
stances is that of behavior.
William G. Eliot, Sd, highway econ
omist of the Bureau of Public Roads,
Department of Agriculture, supports Mr..
Hoffman in an article in Civil Engineer
ing Regulations in the past" he finds,
have been determined primarily by the
physical limitations of roads and
vehicles. In the future we must con-
slider the physiological and psychological
limitations of the human species. En-
gineers can see no end to the improve
ment in cars and highways, but the
human factor of safety has already been
reduced to very narrow margin
No traffic regulations are so generally
ignored, Mr. Eliot argues. as those which
attempt to prescribe proper speeds. THE
motor vehicle operator drives at what
he considers a safe pace, unless he has
reason to believe that speed limit is
being enforced by arrests"
What is wanted, it would seem, is a
pattern or habit of mind which makes
every individual his own policeman-a
consciousness of responsibility which
will dictate caution. 1t is toward that
end that The Star is laboring in its
present safety effort.

Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

two ambassadors she sent forth to two
towns of her dominions' where it appears,
dissatisfaction was rife. The ENJOYS we're
inSulted by the young chieftains of those
towns. Six Monkey took swift and terrible
vengeance. She is shown leading her
soldiers to war. Next she is shown hold
ing one of the miScreant chieftains by
the hair. He has surrendered. No time
is lost in cutting out his heart in the
temple of her capital city The other
rebel also is captured and turned over
to the inSulted ENJOYS. They lose no
time in sacrificing him.
After this war there apparently is no
further question as to Six Monkeys right
to the throne. She is annointed queen.
For time, at least she rules in peace
with her spouse, Eleven Wind. She
gives birth to two sons, one in the year
when, it had been predicted, she would
die. Perhaps she did, for she appears
no more. The next entry depicts the
marriage of her oldest son.
Thus an appealingly human story
emerges from the almost untranslatable
ideographS. The position of woman in
this ancient civilization which developed
in Southern Mexico between the Maya
d1AO T1H0CS PCA1ONAS apparently WAS quite
assured. Lady Six Monkey, says Dr.
Spinden, "at least led her soldiers into
battle. We need not understand that she
captured men with her own hand. Also
it is apparent that descent through the
female line was recognized and that an
eldest-born daughter sometimes Sue
ceeded to what we call the throne
Some of the details of the story in the
Selden CodeX are verified by references
to the heroine in the other codices ex-
amined by DR.. Spinden in European
archives. Once the key to the transla-
ton of these old Mexican manuscripts
is found, DR.. Spinden says, they throw
a flood of light on social and other con-
ditionS of the town and place.
The historical characters, by the way,
were usually named after their dates of
birth inathe Mexican calendar and hence
are not so fantastic as they might seem.

an existing Government agency is al
ready prepared to do. The waste, the
conflict and duplication, the extrava-
gance and aimless rushing around in a
circle are the inevitable accompani-
ments of such methods.
Mr.. Givens also points out the
anomaly of a condition which finds the
established schools of the country plead
ing for aid, which is advanced by a
beneficent Government in the form Of
plain and fancy schooling, managed in
a way to give the jitters tc educators
whose policy is to shun waste" all
springing from a bureaucracy in WASH
ington set up without regard to civil
service and inviting the criticism that
political jobs and not the improvement
of existing educational facilities is the
objective.
