You're Safest In April

Spring Is the safest season of the year, and April is the safest month, from the standpoint of accidents. And if the other eleven months could match April's safety record there would be approxi- mately i2,500 fewer fatal accidents in the United States in the course of a year.
 According to Fred 0. Kelly, writ- ing in Your Life Magazine, this Is due to the fact that April IS more nearly free of the dangers that characterize both winter and sum- yner. Fewer fires are needed, thus the risk of death from burns or asphyxiation is lessened. Babies are not bundled up so heavily in bed, so there Is not so much dan- ger of smothering. The season of falls on icy sidewalks Is about over, too.
 On the other hand, 1t Is not yet time for swimming and canoeing an dthe heavy motoring season has not arrived-aad all those &C., tiyities take 8 heavy toll during the summer months. April isn't a hunting season, either, and that helps keep It's record clean.
 C< course, April is generally ac- cepted as the time for houseclean- ing, which always brings its quota of falls from stepladders. But with all that, the months safety figures lead the list. July is when you really need to be careful for that's when accidents reach their peak.

 The other means of protecting prices Is taxes. And without this no real price control can be es- tablished. AS fast as the govern ment borrows money and pays it out to employers, they in turn pay 1t out to workers.

The only way to offset this ia for the government to take the purchasing power away from them by means of taxes. But there A very little likelihood that the gov- ernment will do this. Therefore the outlook is for Q good deal of price disturbance and price increase be- fore we are done.
 The fourth, and perhaps the most important, of these problems of business is taxes. That has to be dealt with by itself.

ENCHANTING TOWER

Its great walls tower high overhead Encircled by sky of blue, Away from cannons. guns or lead Its winding stairs invite mortals through. Over its walls strong they lean, Searching for new beauty and lust. And always fascinating sight is seen With lights blinking as 1t grows dusk. slowly invading comes nights dark hue And some wish to flee in fright Suddenly the moon and stars beam through, Making the night clear and bright. What gorgeous sight, but my eyes have never seen, And those stairs I've never climbed mnk all It's glory is painted clean bw have seen them with my mind
