4 Safety Pledge

Safety organizations throughout
the country have long made ap-
peals to motorists in an effort to
promote the habit of careful driv-
ing to the end that the appalling
loss of life through preventable
accident may be reduced.
Unfortunately. these appeals
seem to fall upon deaf ears, as the
1887 record of fatalities and in
juries in automobile accidents
reached new high figures. Still.
the effort for safety must go on.
in the hope that some good may
result.
A recent pamphlet contains
this pledge, to which every motor
ist might well subscribe:
l. I will obey all the rules Of
safe driving all of the time.
2. I will deny the use of my car
to anyone who forgets even a
part of those rules a part of the
time.
8. will set an example of high
way courtesy.
4. I will uphold the authorities
as they endeavor to protect life
and property from the incompe-
tent and careless.
8. 1 will aid in srousing public
opinion to the point where it will
insist that something effective be
done Immediately to stop this
slaughter on our streets and high
ways.

to the effect that they do SO at

tactics is seen in the statement

this year. Several candidates.

Learn To Su,jna

The drowning season soon will
be here.
It will not be long before the
bathing beaches will be dotted
with men. women and children
seeking relief from the heat by a
refreshing plunge. At other places
less conventional small boys and
youths will be testing their skill
in the water.
Unless the coming summer is
unusual in this respect, some of
these persons will lose their lives,
and the probability is that this
will be due to their lack of pro-
ficiency in swimming.
Official figures showing the an
nual number of drownings In this
area are not available. The best
way for this toll to be reduced is
for everybody to learn to swim.
And there is no better place
than the Municipal Swimming
Pool which opens on May 30.

One OF the most amazing new
electrical devices of recent years
is the "sterilamp", developed by
the Westinghouse laboratories af-
ter long series of studies and
experiments, the uses of which
are being demonstrated in several
cities.
The light emitted by the new
lamp is of a peculiar quality
which has astounding effects es-
pecially when applied to human
or animal tissues. The rays have
a powerful capacity for killing
germs. and will make delicate
surgical operations much less
dangerous. This light is also en-
ployed in preparing blood to be
stored for later use in transfu-
sions.
In the commercial field the
new lamp is expected to have
wide use in meat packing plants,
as it is said to cure or age fresh
" killed meats five times as fast
as any other known process. It
will also bring back to normal
meats which have begun to deter

The reception of Garamillo was

weeks ago in a smash-up of stores
and burning of synagcgues.
Garamillo was in the auto in

Garamillo was to go to Paris

recall did not mean the Legation
would be closed, but amounted

Poland and Hungary have bluntly

Such a seizure would give Po-

asked for the Free city of Danzig
and new concessions in other paris
of Czechoslovakia as the price Of
her approval Of the reported
Polish Hungarian project.
According to the Standard, Po-
land has masSed seven divisions
on the Ruthenia border and
10000 more troops along the Ru-

Czechoslovakia again has asked
