the Southport tourney, staged by
Prof. r. w. Bolwel1 yesterday, like
Humpty Dumpty, fell on the wall and

and Mrs. Roland Mackenzie of Con-

It Is more or less taken for granted

provoking performances. He talks to
officials and spectators during the

however, probably will be different
story.
Parker is being brought along care
fully under the wing Of Coach Mer-
Ger Beasley. He has developed rap
idly, although he still shows q pro-
nounced weakness in the forehand.
His game at the net has improved
considerably. He now stands fourth
in the Nation and his showing against
Perry will have a lot to do with his
1885 ranking.

1T MUST BE DONE

$50 #r
Mechanically speaking, the automobile
of today is infinitely safer than that of ten
years ago. Brakes reach perfection. Lights
have been vastly improved. Steering mech
anisms are fooLproof. Car bodies can stand
terrific punishment
Similar progress has taken place in road
building. The modern highway, with traffic
lanes, banked turns and ssskidless" 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 mo-
torist has no alibi. He can't blame the car
or the road for the mishaps, save in an in
finitesimal percentage of instances. The hui
man element and the human element alone
lis 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 killer. But that minority of motor
lists which is either careless, incompetent,
or plain reckless, menaces us ALL Perhaps ten
percent of drivers fall into one of those cate
gories- and the lives, health and property
of the other ninety percent is placed in peril
because of them.
Last year say $4,000 people killed-un
necessarily in auto accidents. 1t is the duty
of every citizen and every unit Of govern
ment to see that different record is made
this year. Traffic laws must be modernized
and enforced with the utmost strictness. 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 high
ways.
A suggestion has been made by one who
has had much experience with traffic regu-
lation which sounds reasonable, insofar as
this state is concerned, at least. His sug-
gestion is that the state engineers make
survey of all the principal highways of the
state and post signs wherever necessary, in
dicating the safe speeds at which the condi-
ton of the highway will permit. There is
speed limit law in the state, but under GER
tain conditions this limit is far too high. I'm
der others it is far too low. A statewide
system Of signs indicating safe limits might
aid greatly in Washington.

Last Thursday the House of Represent
atives voted down the Townsend Old Age
Pension Plan. The President is also opposed
to the plan and there seems to be little likli-
hood of that measure being put into effect in
the near future. It has had the effect, how
ever, of forcing social security legislation,
even tho not up to the expectations of the
Townsend hackers.
All sorts of off-shoots and so-called
improvements are being pushed now that the
Townsend plan has secured such an enormous
backing. One of the newest to come to our
attention is apparently three times as bene-
ficial as the Townsend plan, in that it circu-
lates three times as much money each month.
Briefly the plan is to permit every citizen
over 81 each month to secure 500 in credit
for cash payment or deposit in the bank,
of two dollars in cash. In other words the
recipient of the credit pays discount Of two
per cent for his monthly allowance Of 500 in
credit.
The biggest feature in the plan, accord
ing to its sponsors is that not only is there
no pyramided-or any, for that matter
tax, but on the contrary it will return sever
al billion dollars each year toward govern
ment expenses.

FAMILY CASH

i +
Forty-one percent of the wealth of the
United States is in the hands of women, fin
ancial statisticians estimate. This includes
real estate, stocks, bonds and cash in bank.
That places womanhood as an important
prospect" for banks and investment brok-
erS.
Theoretically, then, SO percent of the
wealth is owned by men. Theoretically is used
advisely, for if pay checks issued to hus-
bands and bank accounts in their names were
credited to the wives who really control
them, the percentages would be reversed.
Poor man! He is in sorrier condition
than the figures indicate, disconcerting tho
they are. How far off is the time when hus-
bands will be arguing Indignantly with their
wives or. generous allowance, instead OF
doing money out to their wives in grudging
spirit.
Reaction to this possibility is that it would
serve the "old tightwad" good The house
wife's chronic complaint is that man will
never learn that it takes more than cigar
money to operate the house.
No doubt modern conditions have Gre
ated new causes for domestic strife and di-
vorces, but the good old reliable home-wreck-
er is the inadequate domestic budget and the
"provider" who demands choice cuts on pin
money.

SOUVENIR HUNTING

SOUVENIR HUNTING
Souvenir hunting has history, to which
this generation has no intention of writing
finis
Three centuries ago the Indians stole
scalps as souvenirs of happy moments spent
among the paleface settlers. A century later
the more enterprising of the settlers were
Selling ships. BY some they were called pi-
rates, by others patriots. A hundred years
ago the souvenir-hunting fever ran to eff
figies of congressman Today it runs to
everything.
Nothing is safe from this ubiquitous
pest. Wrecked automobiles are quickly dis
mantled Experimenting airplanes must be
protected against them. Home-run baseballs
and balls hit into the bleachers never return
to the playing field. Hotels and pullman cars
keep the nation supplied with towels, linen
and useful little knick- knacks.
Plymouth Rock was being Clipped away
to nothingness until steel barrier was built
around it. The federal government must
be constantly on guard against souvenir
hun. ing vandals who knock chips from mon
uments and public buil lings. Not even the
monuments Oh the Gettysburg battlefield are
safe.
When the souvenir craze hits a citi-
zen he usually loses all reason. morality, Ion
esty, honor, sentiment AMI discretion. He
seeks to justify his purloinings and spoila-
tons by the strange logic that the taking of
that possessed Of only commemorative or
sentimental value cannot be stealing.

More and more positive are the rumors
that the Umatilla high dam will be authoriz-

members of these crews comes the inforna-
tion that when the dam is constructed it will
impound the waters Of the Columbia and
make them stationary at the 250-foot level.
A lake extending from the mouth of the

LAUGH
When the laugh is on you, laugh with
the rest or some passing student of science
will put you down as being of no intelligence;
that is IT he belongs to the same school of
thot as Professor Gaum of Rutgers College.
According to this school, the ability to
laugh at oneself is proof of intelligence. Not
all who laugh at themselves are intelligent,
mark you, but none who can't are.
Here is a test which pretty definitely
fixes the mental caliber of the politicians. No
politician, not even the Kingfish, can laugh
at himself, although all, when they do not
have the taxpayers crashing their teeth,
have the populace doubled up with laughter.
There is nothing so funny as a man possessed
of an exaggerated sense Of his own import
ance, infallibility and indispensability.
1t is the intelligent thing to laugh If you
slip on banana peel or bust your eye into
door and survive, unless perchance your
friends can get good laugh out of your en-
barrassment and agony. Of course, slipping
on banana peel and running into doors are
not very intelligent things to do.
