Preventing Suicides
I read in your paper that o
woman had jumped to her
death from the Taft Bridge.
In the past there have been
a number Of poor souls who
have ended their lives in that
manner.
Pasadena, Cal, had the same
problem with a bridge that was
known as Suicide Bridge" BE-
cause so many had leaped to
deaths from it.
Pasadena solved the problem
by erecting a safety fence on
the bridge to prevent such sui.
cides.
I think Washington might be
advised to do likewise.

WE KNOW people dislike to be preached at in edi-

word of advice to the thousands of motorists who today
will start off on holiday tours.

right of the road, and don't speed around curves
Maybe we cut down the accident toll this Decoration

IDEAL GOLFING
At n, C. RESORT

SOUTHERN PINES, N. c.,
Dec. 15.-Southern Pines this
season will offer the golfer the
choice of four very fine golf
courses and the facilities Of
three country clubs. First is
the Southern Pines Country
Club, which is under completely
new management for this sea-
son and is scheduled to be the
headquarters for numerous
social and sports events
throughout the winter.
The new horse-show grounds,
with outside hunter trial course
on the country-club estate, have
been completed and the first Of
the seasons equestrian gym
khanas was held there last
week.
On the northern edge Of
town, in the Knollwood section,
is the Pine Needles, owned by
George T. Dunlap, publisher,
and his associates. Across the
road is the Mid-Pines Club, oper-
ated by John j. Fitzgerald.
The sandy soil and mild eli
mate of winter are responsible
for Southern Pines being the
training ground Of many of the
best jumpers in the country.
The building of the new steeple-
chase course on Midland Road
has done much to stimulate the
wintering of fine horses in this
section.
