WHY Ounce Is "OZ."

The word is derived from the
French "once," which in turn comes
from the Latin "uncia," meaning
twelfth part. The COZ is therefore
a symbol rather than true abbre-
Walton. According to the Oxford
dictionary it is Fifteenth century
abbreviation of "onza," Italian for
ounce" the abbreviation being re-
tanned in English. Other authorities
however state that the "z" was
used by early printers for the arbi-
trary mark of terminal contraction.
During the Middle ages character
similar to "z" was used at the ends
of abbreviated words, and the early
printers not having type for the
symbol used the "z" which was the
nearest to it in the printers case.

POLITICIANS DODGE TAXATION
ACCOUNTING

The most vital domestic problem
before the next Congress will be
taxation.
In recent congressional sessions,
bills have been introduced which,
among other things, would broaden
the tax base-that is, make more
persons pay direct taxes to the Fed
eral government. Such plans have
the approval of almost every econom-
list and tax expert. Yet, when
brought to vote, they have always
been decisively beaten. Politicians
fear an equitable tax system which
would bring home to the maximum
proportion of the population the tax
burden it bears. Officeholders hope
that our citizens won't learn that
20 to rs per cent of the cost of
everything they buy is represented
by taxation. But they are finding
1T out.
Can our senators and representa-
tives dodge an accounting much
longer?

BETTER DRIVERS
Better driyers!"

BETTER drivers!
That's the Keystone Automobile
Clubs prescription for cutting. down
the highway mortality list.
"Of course" says an editorial in
the September issue of Keystone
Motorist official club publication,
1--WE need more modern, safer high
ways and better. more intelligent en-
forcement of motor laws. But what
we need more than anything else
is better drivers. The big job is edu-
cation and training of human beings
in the sane operation of motor
vehicles"
Supplementing the editorial, Gar
rison P Knox, Manager of the Club
issued a statement yesterday declar-
ing that study of all the factors in
volved in highway casualties "leads
right to the man or woman who
drives the car"
1.-The growing conviction among
SaIoLy SJuQ0nLS, ne continued,
Seems to be that solution of the
problem ultimately rests with the in
dividual motorist. We simply can't
escape the fact that highways safe
ty is primarily an individual pro-
blem, and the more we delve into
the subject the more convincing is
the evidence that the driving priv
ilege should not be lightly bestowed.
Our experience with our Safety
Test Trailer demonstrates that reck-
lessness and gross stupidity are not
the only reasons for $4,000 deaths
and more than million and quart
er injuries annually in the United
States. Definite physical and mental
limitations or weaknesses in reason
ably intelligent and law-abiding div
er who knows his limitations can be
safe driver by compromising for
his deficiencies; but the operator
who doesn't know he has one or
more driving weaknesses may pay
for his ignorance with his life, or
cause the death of fellow motorist
or pedestrian"

If YOUR HOUSE CATCHES FIRE

Fire Prevention Week this year
has been designated as October to
8, when the National Board of Fire
Underwriters takes the lead in con-
Quoting a vigorous Fire Prevention
educational campaign.
In view of the sad and tragic fire
occurrence that visited our commun-
ity short while ago, the practical
instructions of John j. McElligott,
New York Fire Chief, In an article
in McCall's holds vital interest to us
all.
Fire Chief McElligott points out
that two-thirds of our annual fire
deaths occur in dwellings. mainly
because the occupants don't know
how to get out. And three-fourths
of these victims are trapped on top
floors, because they fail to recogn-
ize the danger signals of heat and
pressure on bedroom doors.
The first thing the householder
should do if awakened by fire, is
to feel the bedroom door panel. Ii
the wood is hot, don't open the door
unless you want to sign your death
warrant. If there is an exit via a
window or roof, take it. If not, stay
in the room with door closed and
call for help.
If the door is relatively cool, open
it an inch, with your body braced
against it so it can be instantly
slammed if rush of hot air fol
lows the opening If the heat outside
is bearable, move with the utmost
speed. Don't try and save belong
ings. Fire travels thousand times
faster than the uninitiated realize.
A stairway that is passable one
minute, may be a roaring inferno
the next. And once you're outside
stay out! Many a life has been
lost because someone rushed back
inside a burning building.
Chef McElligott recommends that
every family hold periodic fire drills,
especially if there are children. The
experience these drills provide may
be a life-saver if fire eventually
breaks out-a mind and body train
ed in the technique of escaping d
burning building, are not so SIS
deptible to the deadly delay and
panic.

GEN. BUTLER TELLS HOW TO
AVOID WAR

Major General Smedley D. But
Ter, ex-Marine turned advocate, out
lined to Virginia University's In
stitute of Public Affairs, meeting at
Charlottesville, a defense policy up-
der which this nations armed forces
would be so designed that we could
not invade another nation.
Declaring fatty that if the Amer
lean people ever again fight OH for
eign soil, they will be the vict ms
of mean, cruel, yes filthy racket, "
the general urged America to mind
her own affairs, and said it was not
our business to protect trade and
foreign investments.
Among his suggestions for mind
ing our own business" were: make
no faces at others with our navy"
keep our naval maneuvers at
home" put our own foreign rela-
tions house in order" and tell the
whole world just what we intend to
defend with our armed forces"
LET the world know" he said,
that we do not intend to invade
them or seize their property, and
that our armed forces are SO design
ed and constructed that we could
not invade them even if a cahnge
of administration should cause a
change of this policy"
The generals remark about trade
is being echoed by the National
Council for Prevention of War, which
is pressing for law to stop the sales
of arms to nations preparing for
war. "As long as any nation sells
arms to foreign countries" the
Council states in recently publish
ed pamphlet, sit runs the risk of

Cooperative association member

cooperative association members
should think of their organization
in terms of our rather than their,
says farm expert. Instead of look
ing upon the cooperative as belong
ing to the directors and the manage
ment, the members should consider
it as their own organization and
should be willing to play their part
in the game If they believe in its
detectives, policies and principles,
they should be willing to work for
its success"
The farm marketing cooperatives
That have registered the greatest
successes have been those whose
members regard the organization in
this manner.

UNWINDING THE BALL

Any one who repeats the old COM
plant that government reports are
too dull to bother about reading"
will do we'll to get copy of the
current issue of Public Roads,, in
which there appears a complete re-
view of Tourist Travel in the Unit
ed States, containing "a summary
of available data on highway use
by tourists.
In order of their appearance in
American life the manufacturing of
automobiles came first; second high
ways for automobiles to "go on;
and third the tourists-who are
"going. The three as they now exist
in the United States constitutes tue
greatest human and industrial
movement in the history of the
world. 1t has all happened within
the memory of middle-aged people
of today. Statistics of automobiles
and highways are familiar to those
who search for such facts. But a
Government publication complies the
facts-and makes a great story out
of the new human development of
tourist travel that distributes $5,-
O0O,O0O,O0O year throughout
every section of the United States
Thomas H. Mcdonald, Chief of
Public Roads, recently remarked
with reference to the wide five to
ten mile suburban band forming
around all large cities that it mark
ed the first step in decentralization
The automobile and suburban rail
service he said, has allowed city
workers easily to commute so miles
daily, allowing a more wholesome
mode of life for themselves and
families.
Mcdonald coined a classic when
he observed that "motor vehicles
are now unwinding the ball which
has been tightly wound with too
many people in the center.

Why Horses Need Shoes

blacksmith, blacksmith, shoe
my nag!" But why do horses have
to have shoes at all, when they have
fine strong hoofs of their own?After
all, nobody shoes wild horses, says
London Answers Magazine. But
wild horses gallop on grassy plains
which are covered in dew every
morning. The dew keeps their hoofs
soft and therefore uncracked;
whereas the horses that draw our
loads trot on dry roads with hard
surfaces, so that without their iron
shoes their hoofs would soon wear
away and break. Then, in short
time they would be lame.

Whv We Catch Cold

We catch cold through breathing
in at the mouth instead of the nos
trils, for germs can hop into the
mouth unimpeded, whereas the nose
is constructed to repel them. And
we get into the lax habit of mouth
breathing because our nasal mus
cles have become enfeebled by our
neglect of the sense of smell, ac-
cording to writer in London An
swers Magazine.

WHY It Is a Canard

A canard is a false report or a
silly rumor. The word was coined
from the French "canard," duck;
the usage arose from the story of
cannibalism among the flock of
ducks, who ate one of their number
each day until at last they were
reduced to one. The story was the
"rage" in Paris for a time and
afterward, when any marvellous re-
cital was heard, the auditor would
shrug his shoulders and exclaim:
"C'est I'm canard!" CHATS a
duck.)
