He treated us so considerably and
so honestly; he gave us such good
service; he was so grateful for our
patronage, that we enjoyed being
his customers. 1t made us feel good.
Others felt the same way. His bust

Then he began asking more people
to trade with him than he could
reach in person. He had to run
small advertisements in the news
paper, which he wrote himself after
store hours.
AS he grew larger he ran larger
advertisements, and where in the
beginning he had a handful of Gus

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
WATCH FOR CARS"
PERTINENT SUGGESTION

"AAOn TOR CfthS
PERTINENT SUGGESTION
One-third of all traffic deaths and
one-quarter of all injuries in 1910 were
pedestrians, the National Safety Couh-
Gil declares.
Moral of these figures is: Pedestrians,
as well as car drivers. must obey traffic
rules, for TWO-THIRDS of the per-
sons killed were committing a violation
or engaged in some obviously unsafe
act.
Car drivers, however, should not
place the entire responsibility for ped
estrian safety on pedestrians, for in
at least two of five pedestrian acct
dents the driver was careless or viO-
lating a traffic regulation.
In cities Al per cent of the pedes-
TRANS killed were crossing between
Observation-Disclosures coming
from behind parked cars.
Almost half of them were crossing
at intersectiOns-where the pedestrian
has the right-of-way unless he walks
against red light-but 10 per cent
of those killed were crossing against
a signal. Two per cent were crossing
diagonally when they got theirs.
A pertinent fact to remember is
that in cities of Ely's population the
MAJORITY of traffic deaths involve
pedestrians.

While democratic governments
and their people are concentrat-

struggle against the totalitarian
states, a small group of econo-
mists and financiers have turned
their thoughts to what may hap

over.
Militarists and politicians think,
of course, only in terms Of an
Axis defeat and dictation of
peace which would draw the
fangs from the dictators, a peace
treaty whereby Germany and
her associates would be so re-
duced that they would not be able
