THE STATES ON THE SAFETY MAP

map prepared by the Automotiv eSafety foundation
gives Minnesota rank among the en best states for the
first months of 1887 Where the national rate for auto
mobile fatalities is 154 per 1O0OOO,O00 vehicle miles,
Mnnesoas is only 90 figure which bettered by only
eight states The en worst states" have average of
204 Georgia has the dubious distinction of leading
them with a average of 229.
The implications of the map, far Minnesota is
concerned naturally pleasing; but how, precisely.
may the startling contrast in state records be explained
If seek to explain the basis of drivers license
laws find that every of the ten worst states had
such laws and that South Dakota, which stands third
among the ''ten best has none.
Is it possible then that the safest states those
with the least population density? study of the map
veals that Rhode Island with high density has the best
record ALL and that Arizona and New Mexico, which
very sparsey populated included in the "ten
worst states Nor do automobile registrations apparently
help to explain the variation of averages for of the
states which lend in registrations has oustandngy bad
safety record Even California and Florida both vacation
meccas for the motorst not included in the bottom
tier of states
The more studies this map the better appreci
ates the difficulties of generazing about traffic accidents
and their Yet certain groupings must inevitably
cite curiosity to what factors if any, lie behind them
Why four of the six New England states in the 'en
best list? Why Minnesota Iowa, North Dakota South
Dakota and Montana-virtuay the entire norhwest-in-
cuded in it? And why do all but two of the ten worst
states lie below the Mason-Dxon line?
1t would require considerable temery to attempt an
explanation of traffic fatalities and their frequency in,
terms of geography the climate say for example why
New England and the northwest states all but monopolze
the white spaces this map and why the south all but
monopoizes the black The fact remains however
that there is very definite grouping of best states and
very definite grouping of worst states" Perhaps some
student of the traffic problem the risk of indulgng in
more dangerous generaltes will venture to explain the
why and wherefore of it. For ourselves we simply note
1t as an interesting fact-Minneapols Tribune.

BOY SCOUTS AND GOOD SCOUTS

Boy scouts in Coolidge and more than million others
throughout the land joined last week celebration of
Scoutng's birthday
Many listened to talk by Franklin D. Roosevelt who
only chief executive of the nation but top officer
in the Boy Scout organization.
In this connection it is interesting to note that cur
rent issue of of popular magazines carries BIZ
ographical brief of the president in which mention IS
of the fact that when the President of
New York he referred by his less ideastc oppon
ents as the "Boy Scout.
The President took it in his stride without offense.
He knew what of his opponents evidently did
then and apparently have not yet learned The Scout
Law says Scout is trustworthy, Loyal Helpful Friend
y Courteous Kind Obedient, Cheerful Thrifty, Brave,
Clean and Reverent.
This alleged dictator who refrains from smashing
those who article and ad try to him and his pro-
grams is evidently also good scout The program
help business but heghens the pubcs interest in this
their chosen who unafrad of action for the
mon good.

FIRESTONE'S FUNNY STORY

The death of Harvey Firestone recalls humorous
story which went the rounds concerning him years
ago.
appears according to the story that he, John Bur-
roughs Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison touring
the country evening when of the lights their
went out
Drawing up to country store Firestone went in to
get the bulb AS the sorekeeper putting in Fire
stone asked him what make" it The said "Ed
son."
What kind of tires do you sel?"
"Firestone."
1T may interest you to know" said Frestone, "that
Mr. Edison and Mr. Ford in the car and am Mr. Fire
stone"
Just then Mr. Burrough pushed his big face with long
white whiskers through the window
The storekeeper burst out with, eff you tell you're
Santa Claus, I'll crown you with this wrench.

ARE YOU IN A FOG?

In the fast changing world of today any one IN full
possession of his faculties wise he keep his BRAIN
out of fog He may be hit by truck struck by light
ming or otherwise unconscious but his sub consc
Gus mind will keep him breathing until he regans consc
BUSINESS. But if consciously puts his mlnd IN log
there is nothing in his favor
The man who permits his emotions to overcome his
common sense is in fog The individual who deliberately
tells about what bum town he lives in how bad citizen
the other fellow is and how much better would be II so
and so would 90 off and die in mental fog created by
his vicious emotions His talk is governed by hatred
intolerance meanness and ignorance for every such re-
mark acts as a boomerang Nobody has patent on all
righteousness. 1t is just easy to good word FOR
somebody something it is to revile and curse Be-
sides it leaves better taste in the mouth.

WHY NOT LIMIT GANG PLOW SIZE?

Farmers through their representative national state
and local organizations and their press vigorously op-
posing the socaed Train Length Bill pending before
gress according to the Association of American Railroads.
This bill would restrict the length of freight trains to 70
cars.
Resolutions expressing opposition to passage Of the
measure have been adopted by Is national farm organza

y oranges and 50 miscellaneous groups interested in ag-
ricuture. The American Stock Yards Association
cent editorial The Farmer says the bill s the first
posa in the history of America limit the size of the
machine which produces for mankind :. 3"
The bill would greatly increase the cost of railroad
operation reduce efficiency and increase railroad hazards
1t as senseless piece of legislation would be law

the theory that it would force him to hire more men,
Its mere proposal undemnes public confidence in the fu

The Low Down
From Hickory Drove

The bosses of this country, it is
the women and it is o. K, and has
worked for hundreds of years.
But there is a million fellers who
think they are the boss in their
household, but the Mrs, she does
not bother about that-she lets 'em
think so.
And to find out how many men
ruled their roost, a commercial club
down south, it made a research.
And they go some chickens and
some horses for prizes, and COM
mittee started calm at places and
they gave a chicken to each feller
who was bossed by his wife, and
a horse to feller who was the big
Chief.
And at the end of the day, they
were about out of chickens and had
given away no horses. And then
they run into a feller who claimed
he was boss, so they said, you win
a horse. And they asked him to
pick one out-he could choose a
white one or a black one. And
the feller hesitated and scratched
his head, and he said, wait here
just a minute will ask my wife.
SO they gave him a chicken.

PREACHERS TO RUN NIGHT CLUB

That title contains truth but is not the whole truth
1t appears that group of ministers in Milwaukee realizing
that young people will dance and that most of the evils
arising therefrom not due to moving the feet about
time with music have decided to try an experiment
At least they have agreed to sanction midnight
closing club in which supervised dancing may be enjoyed
by those with the itching feet
The Rev. R. E. Ewing, chairman of the group says
I'VE convinced liquor not necessary attract youth
places of entertainment But instead of saving Thou
shalt not drink these clergymen seeing it that
adequate and attractive soda bar be built in the club
