A GRAVE PROBLEM

The automobile is one of civilizations great
cts blessings and at the same time it is an
equally great menace. Day after day and year
after year our streets and highways are becom-
ing more and more the scenes of tragic blood
shed.
Last year in the United States it is estimated
that there were over $4,000 killed and hundreds
of thousands of others injured in motor vehicle
accidents In other words, over 100 people are
murdered" by highway accidents every day in
this country and this condition is growing
worse and worse each year instead of better.
In practically every community and state
more or less mild efforts are being made on the
part of public officials to curb this great loss of
life and property and in many cases splendid
results are being accomplished However, be-
fore any great progress is made in this direc-
ton, more stringent federal and. state laws rel
alive to the punishment of traffic violations will
have to be passed
According to statistics furnished by the Ma
tional Safety Council, the major portion of &C
cidents are due to speeding and reckless driv-
ing Intoxicating drinks are responsible for
from 10 to 20 per cent of the wrecks involving
fatality or major injuries.
A drunken driver is potential murderer. AL
cohol at the wheels kills thousands each year
and causes injuries to ten of thousands of 9TH
ers The North Carolina State Highway patrol
and large percentage of the local officers in
the state are doing splendid job endeavoring
to reduce the number of drunken drivers on
our highways and public opinion is strongly
behind them in this commendable effort
This great toll of human lives resulting from
highway accidents must be reduced It is
grave problem.

100000, PEOPLE
IN u. S. UNEMPLOYED

WASHINGTON, Jan. l, = The
national unemployed census infor-
med President Roosevelt today that
the total of the nations unemploy-
ed lay between 7,822,912 and pos
sible maximum of 10,807,O0O.
It's findings were based upon the
fact that a voluntary registration
of the unemployed conducted be-
tween November 16 and November
20, 1887, showed 7,822,912 to be by
their own testimony, out of work
and wanting work, while stimuli
taneous house-to-house canvas in
select areas indicated that this total
was but u per cent complete.

CHECKING SCARLET FEVER

At the present time there is an epidemic of
scarlet fever and whooping cough in several
communities in Ashe county and to prevent the
spread of these dreaded diseases which often
times are fatal to children, we urge that par
ents exercise every possible precaution, as both
of them are highly contagious.
According to a bulletin sent out by the State
Board of Health, scarlet fever is defined as an
acute infectious disease characterized by sore
throat of variable intensity fever, vomiting
and diffused eruption which appears during

PROMOTING SPORTsMANSHIP

The members of the executive committee of
The Appalachian High School Association are
to be highly commended for their efforts to pro-
mote good craftsmanship in the athletic pro-
grams of the high schools.
We were particularly impressed and pleased
with their rulings relative to basketball players
who participate in fighting and we believe that
the penalties which will be imposed upon a
player who engages in a fight with any one dur
ing game, will serve as a means by such con-
duct in the future will be reduced to minimum
in the Appalachian conference, and perhaps
more especially in Ashe county.
For some rather strange reason, in many sec
ions Of the county there are groups who do not
seem to understand that there is a vast differ
ence between legal and illegal fighting, and
just because person happens to have partici-
pated in prize fights he seems to have the idea
that he has the right and privilege to fight any
where, any time and anybody
This is q civilized land and it is unlawful to
fight unless arrangements have been made to
provide ring, gloves and q referee VINO sees to
ii that the fight is fair and square For engag-
ing in any other kind Of fistic battle, an indi-
viduaI is subject to arrest, conviction and fine
or prison sentence.
When boxing is allowed in high schools, the
boys seem to get the wrong idea and apparently
do not appreciate these vital facts Often times
if they are good boxers they get the "bighead"
and think they have the right to fight whenever
things don't go suit them That is big mistake
and it is one of the principal reasons why box
ing is not allowed in large percentage of the
high schools in the state.
Of course there are few possible exceptions
and limit to all things, but general rule it
is never necessary or even wise to fight.

the first two or three days Of the fever.

Children are most susceptible and about IS
per cent of all cases occur in children under ten
years of age. The first symptom of the disease
is usually sore throat followed by vomiting
and fever. After about two days, the patient
usually breaks out with pin-point rash.
If your child shows any of these symptoms,
put either he or she in bed at once, call physi-
clan and county nurse, and then give the child
wholesome food and plenty of rest With prop
er treatment, the disease can be readily cured
in about three weeks time. And another most
important thing-don't allow any child to go
near the sick patient. Every home in which
there is case of scarlet fever should be quar-
antined, and be sure to observe these Quaran-
tines
