stalled automobile, he discovered
that it would be difficult to return
to the center line. Instead of wait
ing, he cut out sharply into the
moving line. A collision was pre-
vented only by the skill of the driv-
er next in line who saw the diem
ma, and sensed the probable actions
of the learner.
Except for the fact that his fam
lily, friends and acquaintance en-
joy riding with him, the good driver
is not likely to receive much atten-
tion from anyone. particularly the
motoring public. One who uses the
streets and highways so correctly
and unobstrusively is not seeking
the plaudits Of the crowd, for the
crowd is too busy trying to protect
itself from the wild misconduct,
and downright incompe-
tence OF poor drivers. Those who
really appreciate him are the people
who ride with him. A person who
makes his passengers uncomfortable
is not good driver. The good dri-
ver's reward comes from safe, pleas
ant and economical motoring, and
the satisfaction that any artist re-
ceives from doing his job well.

In 1881 on the corresponding day,
the per capita of savings deposits
was s265.73, the highest in the past
five years, or $63, 774,000.
Savings Show Increase
That the total savings in 1885
were higher than those in 1881, and
yet the per capita of 1885 is lower
than the per capita of 1881, is ac-
counted for by the fact that the
federal government estimated Della
wares population in 1885 of $4,000
and population in 1881 at 100000.
The federal report shows that on
June 20, 1885, the per capita of de-
mand and time deposits in all the
active banks Of the states was
S5S2.S9, compared to $596.42 in 1881,
again the highest in the past five
years.

Virginia, then reported back to SEN
atOr Holt that there was no politics
in relief in West Virginia. "A white
wash" retorted the Senator.
Former Governor PinchOt accept

writing advised the Chief Executive
of widespread political activity in
relief in Pennsylvania. PinchOt's
letter was a waste of energy. Moth

dence was filed showing that Harry
w. Fee, chairman of the Democratic
Committee of Indiana County, Penn
sylvania, was undertaking to shake
down poor women and others on re-
lief for contributions to the Indiana
County Democratic campaign fund.
Harry Hopkins admitted the charges
against Fee had been proven.
II am not responsible for what
dumb politicians do" was Hopkins
comment. Il can't be responsible for
every dumb politician who writes
letters"
"Ill have Republicans for fore
men-if they are Roosevelt Repub-
licans," said John B. Bryan, WPA
director for Westchester County,
New York, according to the New
York Sun, which added that Bryan
made no cOncealment of his purpose
to give preference ito men who are
loyal to the President" This case
was reported to Washington and
nothing happened.
From San Francisco came the |
public charge that applicants for

that contribution to political funds
have been demanded from the lower

accurate reasoning avoids a possible
accident.
A line Of parked cars near a high
way Is full Of potential hazards. One
OF the cars may suddenly start out,
or a pedestrian may emerge from
between two cars. Anticipating trou-
bic, the good driver proceeds slow
" and Is constantly on the alert.
The good driver realizes when he
Is passed that the passing car may
be forced to cut in. Similarly, If a
car directly ahead Of him passes one
farther front, he Is conscious Of the
fact that It may have to cut in,
forcing the passed car to stop sud
denly. In both cases he regulates
his speed accordingly.

One mother whose son IS admired
