ference, Eric A. Johnston, presi-
dent of the United States Cham

Every nation represented here

MIR. Johnston, who opened the

HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS REDUCED

Although highway accidents have
been reduced materially In conse-
quence or wartime restrictions on the
use of motor vehicles, the pattern
of highway casualties remains un-
changed, the Keystone Automobile
Club declares. In a bulletin issude
recently II emphasizes that the very
young and the very old continue to
head the list of highway victims.
More children under four years of
age are killed than in any other child
age group, and the same thing holds
true for pedestrians in the over-65
age group.
In the opinion of Club officials, re-
sponsibility for the safety of young
sters rests largely upon the motorist.
Children not yet under the influence
of safety education in the schools
have no realization of their danger
in running across streets or darting
between parked cars. The duty,
therefore, is upon the driver to be
doubly cautious whenever children
are at play.
TeueStTldHS III Tie OlucI d6C 6IOupS
present similar problem, the Club
bulletin points out. Many elderly per-
sons assume the attitude that the
motorist should look out for them,
and in consequence pay little heed to
traffic signals or the ordinary pre-
cautions in safe walking. AS in the
case of children, their movements
are unpredictable. and the wise mo-
torist will take this into account.
The Club urges four simple rules
for reduction of pedestrian acct
dents: (1) Cross only at intersec
tions, (2) cross only on proper sig
nal at controlled intersections, (3)
be sure the way is clear before at
tempting to cross at uncontrolled in
tersections, ca always walk facing
traffic on country roads.

INVENTS TWO TRACTOR
DRAWBAR bitches

James c. Harrar, Kirkwood, R. D.
1, Pa, has invented two tractor draw
bar bitches, one for the Ford tractor
and one for all other makes of trac-
tors having a drawbar in the center.
Although the bitches are made differ
emily the principal is the same in
both in that they combine both a
single and double hitch in one.
Either hitch is easily attached to the
drawbar and easily changed from
single to double, or vice versa, but
when bolted into position, they are
held in a straight line with the draw
bar, there being no side draft.
Mr.. Harrar is both farmer and
blacksmith, he having previously
made a number of bitches for his
neighbors and friends and himself.

KEEP A GARDEN AND KEEP ON

If the garden is to keep you, you
will have to keep the garden, is the
word of advice from Victory Garden
headquarters in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. and to keep it in at
least four ways. Keep the garden:
(1) planted; (2) cultivated; (3)
growing; and az healthy.
The Department is urging-and
urging strongly-the need for more
gardens, bigger gardens, better gar
dens this year than last-good as
last years gardens were. But it is
not enough to respond to spring
enthusiasm or a Plea to patriotism
and start a garden. There is a fifth
way, keep on" that leads to worth
while harvests, keeping on through
summer heat when garden work is
not quite pleasant = folio W n G
through
Keep the garden planted; make
plans to keep the garden working
AS soon as the earliest spring crops
are used, the rows should be put to
work again growing later maturing
crops
Keep the garden cultivated; keep
the weeds down to prevent competi-
ton and waste of seed, soil, and la
Dor. Wedding and hoeing in summer
may be disagreeable, but they are
war work.
Keep the garden growing; prepare
the soil well, Apply the right fertiliz-
ers at the right time, water the gar
den when it needs it, and apply
apply mulches to save moisture and
labor.
Keep the garden healthy; control
diseases and insect pests by plant
ing the right varieties of, vegetables,
and by intelligent and faithful use of
dusts and sprays.
These are condensed summaries
of the four keeps" State and Fed
eral agricultural agencies are max
ing special efforts to provide clear
and simple information along these
lines, because bountiful production
in Victory gardens is highly impor-
tant as a war measure. They are
urging everyone who can do so to
grow vegetables and to conserve
surplus for winter use. But garden
ing is not merely spring task. 1t is
full season activity, if it is to be
worthwhile. If a gardener has not the
stamina to keep on, it is better to
keep out.

soYBEANs ARE PINCH HITTING

Four-ffths of the fats and oils the
U. S. imported in pre-war years will
be replaced by the oil from the home
grown crop of soybeans, according to
figures developed by DR.. M. A. Mccall
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in a recent review of some of
the services of the scientific crop i'm
provement activities, of the Depart
ment and the State agricultural ex-
pertinent stations.
1.-THE critical wartime fat and oil
situation has given added pressure
for soybean production, he said. I'm
1941 the acreage harvested for beans
was 5,855,OOO acres; in 1912, it was
1O,762,OOO acres; 11.492,000 acres
estimated for the 1943 harvest; and
goal of 100000 acres has been
requested for 1914. The increase in
the production of this crop as a war
time necessity has been remarkable.
1t has been possible only because of
new varieties developed in the COOP
erative program of the States and the
Federal Department.
Newly introduced varieties ma
turing satisfactorily in the several
areas, yet utilizing the full growing
season and higher in oil content than
others previously available, have
been a contribution to our war econ
omy hard to overvalue.
1.-THE 100000 acres Of soybeans
requested for 1914, estimated to pro-
duce 17.S bushels to the acre on the
average, should give 242,500,000 bu-
shells of beans of which 130,000,000
should be available for crushing.
This should produce 1.6 billi n
pounds of oil, roughly eight-tenths
of our pre-war imports of fats"

ranking naval and maritime shipping
men - including Vice-Admiral Gran
dell, Rear Admirals Kelly, Steadman,
Farewell, Captain Manning, Com
mander McCawley and others, officials
of the American Oil Company and its
affiliate, Pan American Refining Cor
poration, were on hand to honor Cap
tain Lund and Rear Admiral Land.
These included DR.. r. E. Wilson,
Charles H. Wagner, C. F. Hatmaker,
E. G. McKeever, j. A. Carroll, Jr.,
James Patterson, T. A. McQuilling
and others.
A feature of the luncheon was an
extemporaneous speech by DR.. Wilson,
president of the oil companies, who
surveyed the current oil production
and transportation situation. DR.. Will
son pointed out that today the oil in
dustry is working at the peak, and
that this country is now shipping to
the fighting fronts seventeen times as
much regular gasoline and seventy
five times as much aviation gasoline
day as it did in the last war.
In tracing back the early dark days
of the war, DR.. Wilson said the oil
industry and the railroads responded
to the crisis caused by the sub war
fare campaign and the shifting of
coastwise tankers to overseas service
by working "a hours day, seven days
week, in getting the oil to the rail-
ways tank cars, and in unloading this
oil as fast as it arrived at eastern
ports. Such movements ran as high
as 100000 barrels per day at the
Npeak.
Today, DR.. Wilson concluded, trans
portation problems have been largely
overcome by the completion of the two
"big inch" pipelines and many other
smaller pipeline projects, plus the
building of many tankers and barges.
However, military demands have con-
tinued to increase, to use up this
transportation about as fast as it be-
comes available. He added that thanks
to the unfagging efforts of the men
of the oil industry ranging from the
workers in the fields to the marine
men, such as Captain Lund and his
crew-no fighting front has been with
out the oil and gas needed to wage
the war.
