THE DANGEROUS WALKER

Dangerous walking is inseparable
from the auto-accident situation.
Authentic information indicates that 55
per cent of all pedestrian deaths are due in
some measure to the fault of the pedestrian.
In these cases, the walker isn't the inno-
cent victim he is usually pictured, but def
nitely contributes to his own doom.
The National Safety Council suggests
five simple and practical things the pedes-
TRAN can. due to keep the Dark Angel at
a safe distance:
First, obey traffic signals the same as
good drivers do.
Second, learn the laws and ordinances
in effect in state and city to regulate traf-
fic from the pedestrians point OF view
his rights and his duties.
Third, having done this, the pedes-
trian is in position to demand better
acceptance of their obligations by drivers
Fourth, take greater interest in traf-
flee problems, and especially in the place
ment and operation of traffic signals and
pedestrian islands.
Fifth, twill be found through these
studies that major reductions in the num-
Der and severiy of accidents to pedestrians
can be easily achieved
The man on foot must contribute his
share to the cause of safety, as well as the
man at the wheel Many pedestrians believe
that they should be allowed to commit al
most any traffic error. The sad results of
that notion are found in the daily accident
figures sa

WHY WORRY ABOUT 1000 D ! :

There were 10000 persons killed in
automobile accidents in 1897, according 90
reliable estimate.
The American public, and that in
cludes the people of Key West, have been
strangely unconcerned over the death rate
They seem to take it for granted that auto
mobiles and dead pedestrians go together,
and even, if times, the occupants of auto
mobiles get killed, the accident is usually
unavoidable.
How many people really believe that
this is the truth half the time? Not many,
in our opinion. Speeding, drunkenness,
and reckless driving tell the story more
often than not.
Why wouldn't it be good idea to
have more rigid investigation of the ac-
cidents? Why wouldn't it be good idea to
find out the facts about non-fataI accidents,
which might reveal careless driving which
will probably kill someone the next time?
Personally. we are not writing this
editorial in a selfish capacity. We have no
idea of letting anybody run over us, and we
hope to be able to keep our wits together
when driving the old bus. 1t simply isn't
decreed, we hope, that our end shall be
via the auto route, but there are 10000
dead Americans in one year to show that
somebody is going to get killed III 1888.
It's time to take steps to stop the
slaughter.

A PENNY SAVEDI
slaughter.

It was Benjamin Franklin who once
advised taking care of the pennies and said
the dollars would take care of themselves
But of course Mr.. Franklin wasn't aware
then of our current complications IN gov
ernment-red tape. so to speak. 9a'ssdia9
For example, the United States Trea-
sury in Washington recently received
checks for one cent each from two small
cities, the one cent representing. in each
case the unexpended portion of PWA
grants of several thousand dollars. The
honesty of these two city governments is
laudable, to be sure, but
If the two pennies had been spent
perhaps for penny pencils-the taxpayers
of these United States would have been
saved the several dollars spent by the
Treasury to record the transaction.

Labor and the stockhoIde

Labor and the stockholders as well
seem to have just cause for complaint
against the big corporations when they cut
such big slices from the profits of the busi-
ness for their officers. General Motors, for
instance. paid Alfred P. Sloan, its board
chairman, $561,311 in 1886. and in the
same year, William S. Knudsen. president,
$507,645. Assistant Attorney General
Jackson sarcastieally said recently in re-
ferring to these immense salaries: "Of
course, the executive. like the laborer. is
worthy Of his hire.

Material intoxication is an appeal to
our brute instincts for sense of happiness

LOVE? WE'LL
After the second day Of the
trial she took seat in the rear OF
the courtroom. To the direct ques-

dis?" she replied with a Shrug of
her pretty shoulders:
"Well-I-I liked him a lot.
But, naturally, 1 don't care
about all this horrible scandal"
DO you know" the reporter
asked, that Lands may go to
the chair-or spend the rest OF
his life in prison?"
For a second the smile left the
pretty face-the eyes sobered as
if for the first time the serious
ness of the case was brought home
to her.
But she did not answer.
You know" the reporter
persisted, they are saying
Lands mother is going to testify
that you knew he was married?"
The girl swung her bag, while
her chin set.

head in, and they listen avidly as
Lands words and actions are teS-

Yet this girl, who is the same

appears untouched by the catas-
