A "Safe and Sane" Fourth

The double holiday over the
Fourth has brought its Gus
tomary terrible aftermath. At
least ATS celebrators have lost
their lives-245 in automobile
accidents, 126 by drowning,
and the remainder by assorted
causes.
What silver lining there is
to the picture" says the
Joulnal-Every Evening, lis
provided by tn roster of fire
works victims. Only three
lives in the entire nation were
taken by noisemakers Of var
ious sorts, although many
were injured. Belated reports
may add to the casualties,
however.
Compare this with the tire
mendous number of fatalities
a few years ago before cities
began to forbid the sale Of
fireworks and their use BY in
experienced youngsters and
adults, and it is perfectly evi-
dent that the death toll on IN
dependence Day can be cut if .
the nation is determined
enough to do it. We can re-
duce deaths from automobiles
and from drowning to a sim
ilarly insignificant total once
we make up our minds that
this must be done.
THE danger is that, accus-
toned to mass highway NOR
tally on holiday week-ends,
we may grow callous to the
CHASTITY import behind the
bare ATS killed" Before it {
is too late, before we ourselves
have felt the full impact Of
tragedy, let Us determine to
make the Fourth "safe and 9
sane on the highways and
waterways as well as in the
fireworks we have wisely put e
aside" b

State Right in Danger

The Wilmington Sunday
Star gives something to think
about when it says: "When
we pointed out last Sunday
that if Congress should pass
the O'Mahoney-Borah bill it
would probably be but the
opening wedge in the final ar
rogation by the Federal Gov
eminent of practically every
source of taxation - except
property taxes on the actual
physical assets within the
various states-we do not
think we exaggerated the pos
sibilities, for most of the
transactions of trade, not
alone by corporations, but
even by individuals, could be
construed as being part of in
terstate commerce without
too great a stretch Of the i'm
agination. And it is on the
ground that corporations are
engaged in interstate com
merce that Mr.. O'Mahoney re-
lies most strongly in demand
ing that corporations be fore
ed to secure licenses from the

CoC1 al 0Of Cl lllIlCllL.
, Commenting on Senator
. O'Mahoney's federal corpora
ton license bill Raymond
Clapper takes occasion to set
up Delaware as a target for
the missiles of Mr.. O'Mahoney
and the other advocates of
federal charters, though as
Secretary of State Terry
pointed out in his address at
Louisville, a number of other
states have chartered more
corporations than Delaware.
Mr.. Clapper says Mr.. O'Ma-
honey "long ago made UP his
mind that it was ridiculous
for a huge corporation,
spreading throughout the
country, to be Incorporated in
a single state - usual Della
ware-which could exercise
only the slightest regulation
over the company even if it
wanted to, which it usually
didn't"
"As Mr.. Terry showed in
his address, many other states
besides Delaware issue a large
number Of corporation chart
ers, some of them granting
considerably more than does
Delaware, and passage Of Mr.. |
O'Mahoney's' bill would ser
iously affect those states as
well as ourselves.
1--WE think our state officials
would be fully justified in find
ing out at once what states
are ready to join with Della
ware in determined opposition
to the bill 50 as to be able to
ay before the General Assem-
ply, when it meets in January,
a effective plan of defensive
campaign for its authorize
ion.
This is no partisan polite
i matter, and it should not be
approached from any partisan
political angle. AS We said
asst Sunday:
1T is true that our corpora I
ion charter business is per :
APPS more important to Della !
rare than is the case with any |
ther state, but that is be- :
ause, to a small state like !
urs, q source of revenue )
-hich would be insignificant :,

1T seems to Us probable =

lis proposed federal interfer- S
ice with what has always o

TO GET COAT
 FOR MUSEUM

Four hunters are afield today af- ter a papa goat and nanny goat because the American Museum of Natural History in New York wants to complete a family group of moun- tain goat
 The hunters who left today aboard the Hyperion, were Oscar Oberg, Pete Lou, Oscar Waterud and Clif- ford Berg. They will go to Tracy Arm and pick out as noble pair of mama and papa goats as they can find-but they must have long coats.
 Last summer V. Williams guided the Clark-Kissel party in acquiring six goat specimens to be arranged in the American Museum in a fall setting, but although one billy had a horn length of ten inches, the group dil not pass muster because they were wearing their short summer coat-so Oscar Oberg and his party have been asked to rem edy the situation.
 And it is perfectly legal, too, al- though the season is closed-be- cause of a special carte blanc from the Game Commission

Soap WM Help Your Face
 Withstand Winter's Blast
By BETTY CLARKE AP Feature Service Writer

That well-scrubbed look so many college girls achieve is the result of two things good health and careful face-cleansing.
 A nice complexion is especially difficult to keep at this time of the year, with wet snow and cold winds doing their best to toughen every exposed area of the skin.
 The normal skin needs stimula- ton and cleanliness. Careful scrub ping, morning and night, will pro- vide both.
 Plenty of Mild Soap A good complexion brush helps, although some skins are so sensi- tive they only can be washed with a cloth.
 Apply plenty of mild soap to the brush or wash cloth and scrub face, chin and neck carefully. (That means the back of the neck, too-especially with off-the-neck coiffures on their way into favor).
 Don't neglect the places where dirt likes to hide-arounG the tenn iples near the hair line, at the sides of the nose and on the chin. Black heads so often thrive on those areas simply because the cleansing job has not been thorough. Ice Not Necessary
 When the skin has given up it's hoard of dust and grease wipe off the studs with a clean cloth Then rinse the face thoroughly, first with warm water, then with cold. (Ice water isn't necessaryD Dry your face thoroughly, then apply a minimum of makeup. If you use a foundation be sure to get it on evenly.
 You may plaster your face with powder to be sure it reaches all the corners, but if you do, be careful to wipe most of it away. Other wise you may look as if you're wear ing a mask.
 Don't use any more rouge than you think is necessary. tRouge is on it's way out) And put your touch of lipstick on lightly and evenly.
