DRIVE CAREFULLY
lotte Observer

Lack of understanding of critical traffic situa-
tions and safe driving rules continues to be cost
ly factor in the nations automobile accident toll,
according to the superintendent of the automobile
department of a casualty insurance company.
"Careessness could hardly persist in such de-
gree as is disclosed in thousands of Investigations
of accidents, if drivers really understood their own
acts in relation to the general traffic flow" he
asserts.
Turning from the worng lane of traffic was cited
as one example. The offender in this cuts di,
rectly and unexpectedly in front of other drivers
following him when he turns right from any laAe
other than the one nearest the right-hand curb OF
when he turns left from any lane except the one

WASHINGTON. There seems
w TO be no immediate prospect
that the administration will Off
cially promote consumer cooper
ativcS, as some business men have
feared.
Last year, when Roosevelt APP
pointed a committee of six TO
study the cooperative movement
in Europe there was some dis
turbance among American mcr-
chants and tradeSmen who feared
the committees study might be
a prelude to an active government
program aimed at extending the
movement in the United States.
The committee has returned
and made its report without any
drastic recommendations. Some
members urged the extending to
consumer co-operativeS the same
kind of credit aid the government
gives to farmers purchasing and
marketing co-operativeS. EStab-
liShmcnt of an information service
for co-operativeS, similar on a
small scale to what the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce is to industry, was recon-
mended.
No action has been taken on the
reports, but they serve rs re-
liable source of information, and
TO some extent have helped slim
ulate cooperative enterprises
among WaSh;ngtonianS in their
position as consumers and private
citizens.

SELF-DICTATED RUIN FOR MEN OF
LETTERS?
CBy BRUCE CATION

A writer IN harper monthly Tellafheu
recently that the American business man
is becoming the most prolific OF all the
worlds letter writer's. He writes more let
ters, writes longer letters and in general
expresses himself on paper more freely
than any bther of the earth'S creatures
with the possible exception of the loqua-
ciOus Spaniard.
Now it is this magazine writer's belief
that the cause of all this is not so much
profound urge for self-expression on the
part of the business man as it is the I'M
canny skin and efficiency of the average
American typist. And any mere male who
has occasionally stood in silent awe OF this
remarkable young woman undoubtedly
will agree with him.
II is certain that the most impressive
single feature of great many business
offices is the stenographer.
She is certain to be trim alert and bust
neSS-like, and she is more than likely to be
very good to look at; and in any case she
shares with such diverse professionals as
trained nurses, printers, avlators and
steamship captains an air of cool, unemo-
tional comprehensive harbinger that
any upcoming job will be handled capably
and without fuss.
Install man in an office with such a
creature at his beck and call and what
happens? He Immediately, and inevitably,
becomes a great letter writer He could
not do less, if he has heart. For who,
given direction of an instrument perfectly
adapted to the performance of a given job
can fail to see that the instrument must be
kept busy?
So the business man is driven to COM
position. He is i'll the grip Of force
mightier than he is. The stenographers
notebook and typewriter are memorable.
If the young woman has to sit idle and
study the red varnish on her fngernails it
is an undying reproach to him.
Thus we get this spate of business let
tiers remarked upon by the writer in Har-
per's A good half of them, probably,
could remain unwritten without any loss to
the world of commerce the rest could very
likely be half as long as they are and still
do their work But in that case dust would
settle on altogether too many typewriters.
1t is unthinkable.
1t may be, of course, that modern man is
in the process of creating Frankenstein's
monster to encompass his own downfall.
One of these days, may not these lnnu-
merabla stenographers discover that they
can compose these letters as well as type
them? What may happen then is eerie to
contemplate.
The boss goes out to lunch, drops in at a
bali game and forgets to come back-and
things go along just the same. Letters are
received, answered and filed with never a
slip-up. ,-a, SIS JET.
He returns, at last. to find his desk
moved out and his name off the door-and
the routine of the job going on regardless.
What can he say, then, except, My stem
ographer found out she could get along
without me-?

The famous old home of Commodore
John Paul Jones, American naval hero,
at Lafayette boulevard and Caroline
street in Fredericksburg, Va, threat
ened with demolition to make way for
q gasoline filling station, will be saved
through joint action of the Naval His
torical Foundation and the Daughters
of the American Revolution, it was
learned today.
Capt. Dudley W. Knox, U. S. NJ, re-
tired, secretary of the foundation, re-
vealed that drive for $4,000 is now
under way and the general public is
invited to participate to aid in saving
the historic residence. The founda-
tion has an option on the house until
next February, and the purchase price
is s14,500.
officials of the foundation estimate
the cost of restoration will be $4,000.
In order to give the house a proper
setting, it will be necessary, Capt.
Knox said, to purchase and demolish
the adjoining house, at cost OF 5000.
An endowment fund of $4,000 for
repairs, ETC., will be raised to insure
Its future.
Admiral Stark Gives $500.
Rear Admiral Harold r. Stark, until
a few days ago chief Of the Navy
Bureau of Ordnance, contributed $500
to launch the movement, before he
left Washington for sea duty. The
Fredericksburg Chapter Of the D. A. r.
has offered to provide permanent GUS
todianship Of the house and to open
it as q shrine after its purchase and
restoration.
John L.. Senior, member Of the
foundation, already has advanced
$1,000 and has agreed to underwrite
one-third Of the purchase price. Aid
ing in the movement have been several
Fredericksburg citizens, among them
John T. Goolrick and A. B. Young,
Capt. Knox said.

secretary OF the foundation, is head
of the Office of naval records and

John Paul Jones was born July 6,

In 1905 his body was brought to An

GAY DESPERADO' NEW TYPE
OF ROMANCE WITH MUSIC

Something decidedly different in
pictures with music comes to the
Vance theatre Sunday when Pickford-
Lasky's The Gay Desperado," be-
gins a 8 day engagement with Nino
Martini, the great singing star Of ra-
dio, opera and films in the title role,
and Ida Lupino and Leo Garlic in sup
porting parts.
A gay, colorful romance laid below
the Rio Grande, this second offering
of the newly formed Mary Piclford-
Jesse L. Lasky producing company
completely discards the usual back
stage plot formula for pictures fea-
turing famous songbirds and presents
a thrill-packed action-filled, fast-mov-
ing film story.
Garlic also kidnaps an American
millionaire's weakling son, played by
James Blakeley, and his sweetheart,
Ida Lupino. Determined to do the
thing right, Garlic calls in his diol
Of the American underworld, Public
Enemy 3, to handle the ransom nego-
tiations.
Martini and Ida Lupino fall in love
and he manages to escape and effect
the release of Blakeley through a ra-
do plea directed straight at the heart
of the sentimental Garlic.
