Many u. S. Cities Take Strict
Measures to Curb Deaths
by Automobiles
LISTS UNUSUAL PENALTIES

The National Safety Council re-
ports many towns have turned to
the penalties of colonial days and
are invoking the power of modern
psychology in an effort to halt the
slaughter on the nations highways.
A wide range of punitive meas
ures was listed recently by the Ma
tional Safety council in a survey of
steps taken by municipalities to curb
reckless drivers.
MANY Cities" reported Sidney j.
Williams, director of the organiza-
tons public safety division ''have
proposed the scarlet letter brand
ing of convicted motorists by mark
ing their cars with stickers, tags,
and oddly shaped license plates that
would hold the drivers up to public
ridicule and scorn as dangerous /"
At some points, the council relat-
ed, offenders were:
Sent to the wood pile to work out
fines at so cents an hour if they
could not pay.
Forced to visit the morgue to see
the broken bodies of traffic victims.
Compelled to sit for several hours
in wrecked auto that was involved
in a fatal accident.
Brought to hospitals to visit per-
sons they had injured.
Thrown into Jail at once if sus-

PHOSPHATE, LIMESTONE
MAKE BETTER PASTURES

Triple superphosphate such as is
manufactured by the IVA will give
more satisfactory results on pastures
and meadows when mixed with
ground dolomitic limestone, accord
ing to demonstrations conducted on
number of western Carolina farms
J. A. Glazener, Pennsylvania
County farm agent of the State Col
lege Extension Service, has been
particularly impressed by the good
results obtained by applying the
ground limestone and triple super
phosphate to pasture lands and
clover fields in that county.
It is found that when these mate
rials are applied, the pasturage is
more palatable and nutritive, he
said, and the clover makes better,
richer growth for grazing or for
blowing under to improve the soil.
The Soil Conservation Service has
found also that superphosphate con-
tanning ground limestone would
serve the same purpose as basic
Stag is quoted at approximately So
ton, 16 percent superphosphate
containing 400 pounds of ground
dolomitic limestone per ton is equiv
alent in price when it sells for ap-
proximately $14 ton.
County agents in western North
Carolina are finding the phosphate
limestone mixture admirably suited
to conditions in that section and are
urging farmers to use it on pasture
and clover fields.

Question: WHAT GRAIN RA-
TON SHOULD BE FED TO
EWES PRIOR TO LANDING?

Answer: It will not be necessary,
except in bad weather, to feed the
ewes any grain until three or four
weeks before larnbing. The stalks
and stubble fields, ditch banks and
fence rows should be utilized for
grazing or, if no grazing is available,
each eve should receive about two
pounds of good legume hay a day.
Dat hay, corn fodder, bright straw
or grass hay may be used in larger
quantities if legume hay cannot be
obtained, but Timothy hay should
never be fed to sheep. A small ra-
ton of grain should be fed from
three to four weeks prior to lambing
provided the eve is not very fat.
One-half pound Of corn and oats, or
corn alone will be satisfactory file
gume hay is fed, otherwise the grain
ration should contain from 80 to IS
percent of cottonseed meal on lin
seed oil meal.

FOOD FADS USUALLY DO
MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Most food fads are based on ignor-
ance rather than knowledge of
foods and the requirements of the
human body.
No we'll informed person would
advocate the absurd diets recon-
mended by self-styled doctors" and
professor" who have pet theories
to give out or who wish to promote
the sale of certain Health foods"
This is the opinion of DR.. Frank
Sherwood, of the NJ c. Agricultural
Experiment Station, who urges peo-
pie to use common sense in eating
and to shun food fads as they would
the plague.
The public has become health con-
scious during the last decade, and
people fall easy prey to quacks who
talk glibly of carbohydrates, pro-
teins, fats, minerals, and vitamins,
DR.. Sherwood stated.
Since most of their cloims are bas-
ed on an element Of truth that is
obvious to the public, he continued,
the popular tendency is to suppose
that every claim they make is also
true.
Every time the food faddist mon
keys with the human idet, DR.. Sher-
wood declared, he does more harm
than good.
He would have people believe that
white bread is poison, that ,proteins
and carbohydrates should never be
eaten at the same meal, that certain
so-called 'health foods" are essen
tial to life, health, and happiness,
the doctor continued.
He added that he is not referring
to reputable physicians or dieticians
who recommend diets for people
who cannot eat some things or who
are in need of special foods.
But these Recommendations are
based on the needs of the individu-
al, and are made by authorities who
know what they are talking about.
The faddist, on the other hand, usu-
ally urges the same diet for all peo-
pie.
Qualified authorities hesitate to
make general recommendations for
all people, though they will say that
in most cases the diet should consist
of dairy products, eggs, fruits, leafy
vegetables, meats, and whatever else
suits your appetite, digestion, and
pocketbook," DR.. Sherwood pointed
out.

0PP0SEBUYING
OF TAX DEEDS
BY BROKERS

Elimination of tax brokers in
the buying up Of tax deeds Tor
non-payment Of real estate taxes
and greater use Of court attach
ments in the collection OF de
linuuent personal tax payments
are being considered by the spe'
cial tax delinquent committee
appointed by the District Com
miSSionerS.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
today released the report OF the
first meeting of the committee,
which was appointed to improve
local tax collection methods after
severe criticism had been made
in the House of the municipal
ity's failure to collect back taxes
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan is
chairman.
Favor New System
The report revealed that the
committee is favorably inclined
toward a proposal of permitting
only the District to buy in tax
deeds as a lien against property
for non-payment of real estate
taxes.
Under the present system. tax
deeds are bought in mainly by
tax brokers, who charge high fees
to persons wishing to clear their
property of the deeds, which act
as liens against property.
The committee found, however
that the District has better rec
ord than any large city in the
matter of real estate tax collec
tions. At the end of the 1885 fis
cal year, the committee reported
there was a 13 per cent deficiency
on q levy of 1913, 1863 Of city taxes
Other Proposals
The committee also reported II
was considering favorably a pro
poSal to use court attachments as
a means of forcing payment OF
personal property taxes.
Still another proposal favored
by the committee is the establish
ment of a tax accounting division
The new division would handle al
manner of taxes in arrears, there
by eliminating the necessity OF 8
taxpayer to visit numerous offices
in payments of back taxes. It wa;
estimated that under such uni
fled system, personal tax collec
tions would be increased Is to ST
per cent.
