WASHINGTON - President
RooSevelt'S announcement of
the revised budget, showing a
deficit of So, 1884. OOO, 900 met with
a mixed reception. Foes of the
governments lending-Spending
policies pointed out that the
1899 budget showed a record
increase in peace-time expendi-
lures. plus a sharp drop in rev.
enues. Friends defended the
budget as an investment in
more employment and better
business, from which John @.
Public would more than get
his moneys worth. The budget
announcement had a quieting
effect. but failed to put a
damper on the general feeling
of optimism.
WHY ACCIDENTS?-The au-
tomotive industry examined
CLOSELY last week a series of
studies on the relation of car
stvling to driving safety. Sur
vevs Of the cause of traffic &C
nidentS shed p constant flood
LIGHT of valuable Information on
the problem. Yet Sudden
death" on the highwavs takes
2 bigger toll of lives each year.
Why? Arthur w. Stevens. of
the Society of AutOmotive En-
eineers. answers with the state
ment that many auto accidents
are attributable to the faulty
stvling of modern automobiles,
which obstructs full vision.
"Stylistic WITNESSES" he saws,
are to blame. He urges motor
makers to take steps toward:
the hood. raising the
drivers seat, allowing larger
areas and constructing
thinner window partitions. Mr..
Stevens says that better visib-
jlity is inevitable, because man
for a million wears has walked
with eyes in front of his head
where they belong. and there is
no reason why his car should
not be built the same way"
THE FARMERS BUSINESS

months of last year, our corn
exports amounted to 1000
b bushels. This dramatically
shows the part agriculture is
playing in our foreign trade
this year. For January through
May, Is per cent of all our
exports were farm products, as
compared with only IT per cent
last year. Foreign countries are
buying more of our wheat, corn,
meat and lard this year.
