ACCIDENT FIGURES GIVEN

Some interesting facts and figures can be obtained by
examining a booklet recently distributed by the Ford Motor
Company. Among them are:
Most accidents happen between five and six o'clock in
the evening when people are going home but more fatal ac-
cidents happen between seven and eight at night.
Contrary to popular opinion, the Sunday driver is not
the most dangerous, but the Saturday driver.
The largest number of accidents occur on city streets
but the overwhelming number of deaths are on the highway.
Death starts with a high rate of speed.
The largest number of accidents occur at and between
street intersections. Only 06 occur at railroad crossings and
sd on curves.
Cars not having the right-of-way cause 1913 of the ac-
cidents In this country. Exceeding the speed limit and being
ON the wrong side of the road are the next ranking causes.
With S64,SO0 accidents, &c. 800 persons killed and 967,-
$40 persons being injured in this country, it is time that
people heed the old sign, 'sStop, Look and Listen - every
where they go and not just at railroad crossings.
But words ar so futile. We always think it can't happen
to us.

NIAGARA

OF great interest to millions Of Americans is the request
of a New York representative that President Roosevelt IN
clude 81, 100000 in the next deficiency bill to cover the share
of the United States in the cost of preserving the Falls.
Since 1881 there have been three major slides of rock.
The first was $4,000 tons, the second consisted of $4,000 tons
and the third was a massive piece near the bank. These
slides have caused fear that some day the Fails would be
completely marred, the slides already having taken some OF
their grandeur.
With the appropriation it is planned to construct a weir
or two in the river above the Falls to spread out the sheet OF
water and to prevent it from tumblng down in one place,
thus causing unequal erosion and further rockslides.
The American Falls will then be well covered with water
and prevent further erosion. 1t will also make available 70,
600 cubic feet of water per second for power purposes.
Niagara Falls has always represented to American
school children the ultimate in majesty and grandeur. 1t is
well we are not robbing them of their birthright by letting
the falls go to ruin.
And honey-mooning at Niagara is more than a birthright.
It's a down right tradition.

Resolutions Of The Methodist So.
ciety Durant, Mississippi

On July %, 1887 the beautiful
life of one of our dear members
came to an earthly end, and en-
tered into the Haven of Rest af-
ter many years of faithful work
and with the realization of a
faith sublime and hope eternal.
Whereas, the good she did, the
life she lived among us, planning
and working always for the best
interest of our Church and its
institutions will linger in our
memory and inspire us to strive
to attain the finer and nohler
things of life; therefore be it re-
solved:
First, that though we grieve
for the passing of such a dearly
loved friend and co-worker we
bow to the WI of INC ON c.scient
Ruler of NJ things, Knowing that
our loss is her gain;
Second, that we extend our
deepest sympathy to her family
in their bereavement and
Third, that the testimonial of
our deep appreciation of her loyal
and faithful Christian service be
spread upon the minutes of Il
Auxiliary, and a copy be sent to
the family.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. A. B. Clements
Mrs. t. r. King

ABOUT A NEW PosToFFICE

We are a firm believer in that old saying about God
helps only those who help themselves. 49,. also the one about
the early bird getting the worm
OF course a new postoffice for Durant would definitely
not be considered a worm, but we think it's a lot more I'M
portant to think about than the proverbial worm.
With congressional approval of the present committee
recommendation Durant is on the list from which will be
selected a number Of towns where new postoffices will be
built.
We are of the opinion that Durant can get this new
~postoffice by putting in some good work right here and now.
Towns never get anything especially out of Washington
without trying. There are too many active wideawake
towns in Mississippi and elsewhere who will be fighting 10
Get these buildings approved for their towns. What's more
they will get them, too, if we don't stage just a little better
campaign.
Leland, in Washington county with a population OF 2426
and Shelby. in Bolivar county with 1911, are in the same
congressional district (third) as Durant and are also on the
eligible list. Tn all probability the third district will get at
least one p~ostoffice.
It is up to us to make Durant one of those places.
Let's get busy. Contact the Hon. Will M. Wilmington IN
Washington nowl Wire, write or phone but get busy NOW

NO PRESENT

A stharmonv dinner was the caption of the testimonial
affair given for recently elected majortyleader Barley
from Kentucky. To emphasize the harmony motif Cor mo-
tive p a pigeon flew above the heads of the diners. Ice cream
served for dessert was in the form of a dove.
Senator King, Utah, was heard to remark at the banquet
the dove seemed a "little dead"
And during the storm that broke the next day over an
nouncement Of Senator Black for Supreme Court Justice the
speaker himself is quoted as saying, ''That was a hell OF a
harmony dinner we had"
All of which brings to mind that is going to take more
than a yachting party, a harmony dinner and a lot of other
things combined to get that much desired spirit OF harmony
among the Democrats in congress. It seems as though basklng
in the sunlight of Mr.. Roosevelt's radiant smile isn't what 1T
used to be.
Perhaps he should take them on an expedition to the
north pole. Perhaps there they would warm up to each
other. ts*AS,

Washington, ID. C.-For a few
hours after Vice-President Gar
ner .jammed the Court Bill
through an unwary Senate, Con-
gress put on an act like one of
those old time Mellerdrammers
where a man on horseback gal
Tops in shouting, The Dam is
Bust Take to The Hills!' which
meant the Hills at Home.
To hear the rejoicing you'd
have thought there were no more
Bills to pass. But the Treasury
came around and reminded them
Of the Tax Loophole' matter
and somebody else mentioned
the wage and hour Bill and the
Housing Bill and several dozen
more big ones including Farm
Relief.
A good many of the old timers
are whispering that the country
is tired Of reform and that the
whole program could be ditched
without a howl back home, but
then it's been so long since some
of the Lawmakers were Back
Home that they aren't sure any
more just how the folks feel AZ
one Senator remarked, The onl.
folks you hear from are the ones
who can write and have the price
of a postage stamp-Besidcs
There are still some unemploycd
some eight million according 10
one recent estimate and they may
still be interested in reforE.
The senate labor committee has
just recommended a five million
dollar appropriation to count the
.jobless sometime before next
April l., 1888. The date alone IS
enough to queer it. Besides II
might be cheaper in the long
run to add a couple of millions
and offer the out-of-workers a
dollar apiece to come in and reg
lister. They say it still works with
the voters in some sections.
Governor Benson who was in
New York, leading a peace par
ade, took a rap at his former col
league. Senator Copeland who is
the Tammany candidate for May
or of that city. Then the President
who was supposed to be spending
a non-political weekend let it be
understood hat as a New York
Democrat he would support
Mahoney, the candidate OF the
Anti Tammany Democrats. But
nothing was said about the Pres
ident's choice between Mahoney
who is looked on as a safe bet
against Copeland and Mayor
Laguardia. The story here In
Washington has been the same
for nearly a year-if Laguardla
loses he is sure of a Big Job.
UNLESS, of course, he heads the
labor Farm-Progressive Party
predicted for 1910. And the L-F-
P Party is the Goblin that con-
lservative members of both the
Republican and Democratic par
ties wake up in the middle of the
night and find sitting grinning or
the footboards of their beds.

Weaving @ gay romance for the glorious voice of Nino Martini, "Mu- sic For Madame" opened today at the Loew Poll theater, and proves to be one of the screens most de- lightful musical offerings. Joan Fontaine is featured opposite Mar tini.
 With 0 fine cast and deftly turned story, and enhanced with songs that range from operatic selections to modern ballads, the picture prom ises to make the noted Italian sing CT even more of screen favorite than his former films, Here's To Romance" and "The Gay Desper- ado"
 Hollywood forms the setting of tho story. Martini, @ penniless but confident young singer, arrives in the film capital determined to achieve fame. Unfortunately his debut becomes Q misadventure. He is made the innocent tool of band of crooks, who commit Q dar. ing jewel robbery during 0 wedding reception at @ producers home while Martini is singing.
 Unable to clear himself, and fear. Ing both the crooks and the police the singer is involved in complica. ttons and 0 tender romance. Ulti. nately Martini is vindicated, but not until after a unique "radic duel" and concert in the world. famous Hollywood Bowl, both oi which afford him opportunities te charm screen patrons with the magic of his voice.
 With the story especially written to fit his talents, Martini scores brilliantly. Joan Fontaine, EkO Radios new discovery" portrays the heroine in charming fashion and Alan Mowbray as a tempera- mental orchestra conductor, Erik Rhodes as a rival tenor, Lee Patrick as Miss Fontaine's room-mate, Alan Hale as 6 comedy detective and Grant Mitchell as the district at- torney, all contribute heavily H the captivating picture.
 John Blysone's direction and the production values afforded the film by Producer Jesse L. Lasky deserve high praise in making "Music for Madame" q real entertainment treat.
