~oNs1DER1NG the number Of
I cars on the highways and the
number of miles they travel,
~ the United States is a rela-
lively safe place in which to motor,
according to the Bureau of Public
Roads.
The bureau, a branch of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, completed
and submitted to Congress Just be-
fore adjournment a detailed report on
highway accidents. which says:
1T is remarkable not that there are
20 many motor vehicle accidents, but
that there are so few. and the great
majority OF these are of relatively
minor consequence"
BY no means taking the view that
the motoring safety picture is a good
one. the report nevertheless says it is
better than is popularly supposed,
when all factors have been taken into
consideration. 1t is wonder, the
bureau states, that, with cars passing
each other in large numbers at rates
of speed in excess of 40 miles an hour
and with only a few feet or a few
inches separating them. there are not
a great many more instances of head
on collisions and sideswipings.

Straight Farms Pass.

THOSE who remember the straight
burrows Of the past which marked
the neat farmer, the furrows which
go up slope and down the other
side, will note change these days.
Now the mark of a good farmer is
not a rectangular field but a field
which is plowed in conformity with
the slope. The menace of erosion
has at last taught its lesson and the
farmer now strives to plow his fur
rows so that moisture is retained in
the soil instead of finding the vertical
burrows excellent avenues to follow
in a mad dash down the slope which
always takes a part of the top soil
along. Autoists travelling through
rural areas will note this difference
If they observe at all closely. The
farmer no longer is careless of his top
soil, If he is any kind of farmer.

dow" They watched the parade, be-
wildered but grateful. from the lux
urtous ofices that overlooked the ave-
nue. from the new Labor Building, and
are still probably wondering who that
nice lady is who took them in.
RUT these are the things one does
not hear about in connection with
the Secretary of Labor It seems to
be the fate of efficient individuals that
their accomplishments overshadow
them as human beings. In the case
of Miss Perkins, she has done moth
ing to change the picture. One is
pleasantly astounded, therefore, at
personal contact. Why, she is a wife,
a mother, a warm hearted, charming
American woman" you are reminded,
facing her.
These qualities are relevant to all
her public actions. They are RESPONSE
bic, for one thing, for the keen inter-
est she has always taken in social
security. She was a pioneer in the
movement for social security under
the Roosevelt administration, but even
before Mr.. Roosevelt moved into the
White House he had sent her abroad
to study the question and she had
brought back to Albany at that time
a comprehensive and valuable report
on unemployment insurance.
When he became President Mr..
Roosevelt appointed Miss Perkins
chairman of the Committee on Eco
nomic Security. 1t was this commit
tee that turned in the report on which
the social security legislation is based.
And 1t Is not difficult to see that the
program is one that lies YER, near the
heart Of the Secretary of Labor.
She believes. for one thing that the
entire social security program will be
a cushion against suffering in any
future depression"
1T is program" she asserts, that
will always serve as a cushion, to pre-
vent really acute and intense suffer
ing or deprivation in any future de-
preston. The old age benefits and as
surance of provision will be factors
contributing to the economic safety
OF families that might otherwise en-
dure a repetition of those hardships
depressions have occasioned in the
past. The payments, no matter how
small. will always keep alive a small
market. And this, in turn, will have
a beneficial effect upon industry. In
other words, the Nations people will
never again be completely deprived of
their purchasing power. as they were
during the last depression. And this,
OF itself, is of immeasurable value"

LABOR OPTIMISTIC

In 1888 she took the oath 81 ONCE
as Secretary OF Labor In President
Roosevelt's Cabinet.
To this interviewer it is remarkable
that so little has been given the pub
lie about Miss Perkins herself 1t is
true that the New England reserve of
her nature and her complete pre-
occupation with her Office have tend
ed to minimize all personal aspects of
her career. But the fact remains
that much of the success of her po-
sition as the first woman cabinet
member has been due to those very
qualities and attributes which seem
pretty generally to have been min!m-
lied in the public press.
Entering. upon the interview with
but the vaguest conception of the in
dlvidual to be interviewed the writer
left with vivid, definitc impression
OF Madam Secretary herself Her pro-
nounced charm, for example; her
simplicity of manner; her unaffected
speech and mannersms. One does
not remember her clothes, black and
simple, and so completely background
for her personality. One does remem-
Der, however the string of pearls about
her throat and the heavy, old-fash-
ioned gold brooch at her neckline.
But one remembers most OF all the
complete ease with which she leans
back or forward in her chair, the wide,
friendly smile. the gestures Of hand,
that bespeak her charm.
A delegation of men and women,
with photographers, was just leaving
as this writer entered. II had them
all come up to meet Mr.. Hotaling,'
she smiled in greeting. Hes our new
commissioner of immigration and
naturalization. I always like to have
all the chiefs and heads of the vari-
GUS divisions in to meet a new mem
Der. for I feel he is doing more than
take new job-hes entering an
organizations new Official family,
and I think this makes him feel at
home"
On another occasion Miss Perkins
sent for three small children, who,
huddled in an expectant group, were
waiting in the rain for parade that
was long in coming down Constitution
avenue. Il was afraid they would get
very wet over there" she said to the
guard who brought them in, and they
didn't seem to have any grown-ups
with them. I noticed from my win

It Isn't always well to leave the cover
on the car when the sun in shining.
There may be too much heat under
the cover
Chromium plated parts should be
covered with a mixture Of one-quarter
pound OF beeswax to one quart Of
kerosene to protect them against salt
spray. Lacking this it is entirely prac-
tical to wax the chrome parts heavily.
They can even be creased Wax is pre-
ferred since it does not pick up dust.
1t Is well to put light film of oil on
many OF the exposed metallic parts OF
the engine. Windows should be closed
whenever the car is left. If the car Is
an open Job always throw the lap robe
over the seats and the instrument
panel when leaving the car out during
the evening. II this is not done these
parts will be found covered with dew.
IF THE car is to be used over con-
siderable dirt roadway, be sure to
have installed one of the heavy duty
air cleaners for the engine At least
see that the engines present air clean.

careful than usual about cleaning out

over rough roads do not pity only the
springs. Remember that the car
buretor float is also suffering from
shock. This float mechanism can
cause lot Of trouble If disarranged
In short. try to remember that the
car is essential to the success Of the
trip and that 1t isn't getting any sort
OF vacation. Do not put too much air
in the tires when driving along on a
hot day, because pressures will in
crease from the heat of the road and
the friction OF the sidewalks. Look at
the battery more often. Stop of some
where en- route to have the chassis
frightened up. Watch the front tire
treads for signs of misalignment of
the front wheels. Mileage shows up
these cumulative troubles. Your trip
can be vacation from repair bills if
you exercise reasonable amount of
caution and follow diligently the pol
icy of preventive service.
This will be the best vacation of
your career II the car isn't forced to
drive you to the repair shop when the
outing is over.

1t 4 vacation from the abuses and
neglect that can and should be avoid
ed. When . good time Is had by all,
be sure that this hasn't been at the
expense Of the car.
Ono Of the important things to re-
member Is that, even with the car
prepared for the vacation trip, there
should be no interruption In the
process Of keeping 1t prepared for
whatever may come along. Often the
hardest part Of the trip Is along
toward tho end. This is particularly
likely to be the case II the tour leads
into mountainous country. Brakes
may, need to be readjusted en- route,
and 1t Is not improbable that lubrica-
ton must be watched carefully.
II the car goes down many long
grades there is q good chance OF the
engine wasting considerable oil out Of
the exhaust in smoke form. For the
upgrades the carburetor mixture may
need adjusting. More air for the
higher attitudes.
IT IS usually during the cars idle
ness that 1t suffers most. One day
1t stands in the broiling sun, while the
next day 1T is battered by a Summer
shower. There is apt to be some hail
mixed with the downpour. Garage
space at resorts being at premium
in the Summer, the motorists problem
is to find shade and as much pro-
lection as possible from the elements
He finds that the shade Of a tree Is
not always the simplest way out OF
his dilemma, because many trees drip
sap. Wet leaves after a storm are
not the best thing for the finish.
Shade Of building is ideal The
building or wall will also afford pro-
lection in event Of prolonged rain
Always head the car into such pro-
lection because this will help keep
water from the engine In a prolonged
rainy spell start the engine OCCASION
ally, allowing it to run awhile at a
rate that will put the battery on
charge. This will help keep the wiring
dry.
At the seashore the problem is to
combat salt spray A tarpaulin cover
for the car is ideal If regular form
fitting cover isn't obtainable, salts
factory protection is afforded by SIM
ply throwing tarpaulin over the en-
tire car, tying the ends to the spokes
Of the wheels or to the bupmer ends.

In 1870 as executive secretary OF
the Consumers League of New York
City, Miss Perkins made and directed
Investigations Of factories, mercantile
establishments, tenement house work
manufacture, bakeries, laundries and
similar projects. and in connection
with the leagues legislative program
she conducted campaign which sue
ceeded in securing passage Of the
"54-hour BILL" limiting the labor of
women in mercantile ablishnent5
in the State of New York to 81 hours
week, or nine hours a day Also
as q result of this campaign amend
ments to the labor law projecting
women and minors and the Regulation
of tenement-home-w manufacture
were obtained.
In 1911 Miss Perkins investigated
and published her findings with re-
spect to cellar bakeries, Jointly with
the Commissioner Of Accounts of
New York City. revealing unsanitary
conditions that led to the adoption Of
thorough regulations by city authori-
ties. In 1912 and until 1918 she was
secretary OF the Committee on Safety
an organization to prevent factory
disasters from fire or other accidents
In cooperation with this committee
she drafted and urged passage of new
provisions OF the labor law relating to
prevention Of life hazards from IRE
and accidents. Beginning IA 1917 she
served for two years as executive di-
rector Of the New York Council of
Organization for War Service, and in
1919 Gov. Smith appointed her COM
missioner Of the State Industrial Com
nission-a position she held until 1921
Thereafter she was member OF the
Industrial Board and three years later
its chairman.
1T WAS in January. 1929, that Miss
Parkins received from Gov Frank
lin D. Roosevelt her appointment as
Industrial Commissioner OF the State
Of New York, which placed her at the
head of the New York State Depart
ment Of Labor. Her experience dur
ing these years was varied and inten-

If one should ask for the creed, the

one quality which is at once, creed,
and purpose,-love.
Whoever endeavors to live radiantly
can see no profit in any religion that
leaves one cherishing malice, harbor-

Oh, Where Is The Pickle
Jar Of Yesterday?

If you ever lived, as boy, upon
farm in New England or out in
the West, you remember the bowls
and jars of pickles that stayed right
on the dining room or kitchen table
from one meal to the next. To keep
everything nice and sanitary, a mos
quito bar was tossed over the collec-
ton of receptables, to be moved when
meal time came again. 1t was no
trouble, though, for hungry boy to
get in under the mosquito bar between
meals and gorge on those pickles. New
er have there been pickles like that
since. And yet they are easy to
make. I remember we'll lending a
hand. Now, after all these years, I
have come to own the old scrap book
in which clipped recipes were pasted
and countless others written in.
remember one, in particular, unusually
good and we'll worth making:
