An Average Year

BUT $4,000 lives unnecessarily ended,
or 100000 persons suffering the pain of
torn, bruised flesh and broken bones cannot
be dismissed lightly as "the usual thing"
Let's forget for a moment the terrific
economic impact of accidents $4,9OO,OOO,OOO!
Let's ignore, even, the loss of war goods be-
cause men killed or hurt accidentally could
not produce them.
Let's remember, for example, the woman
riding gaily across the field with her two
children on horSe-draWn rake. The rake,
they pretended, was their train, the horse
their engine. But their laughter and shout
ing frightened the horse. 1t leaped forward.
The children were thrown clear; the mother
fell under the rake She was dragged around
the field until the horse tired. With her
bones shattered, her eyeballs pierced by
straw, her flash mangled, she lived in agony
for many days before she finally died. Her
family did not think this an average year.
Let's remember, too the high school boy,
popular, intelligent seemingly destined for
a brilliant career, driving along country
road at night. The thrill of driving again
urged him to greater speed. Suddenly, "out
of nowhere" a barrier loomed A rending
crash! Long months in the hospital-and
finally his return home, hopeless CRIPPLE
In ACCIDENT FACTS he appears as one
of 10000 permanent disabilities in motor
vehicle accidents Seventy thousand per-
manent disabilities-in better than aver
age year.
Let's remember the beautiful vivaciouS,
bright-eyed girl, almost ready for kinder
garten; adored by her father and mother.
Yet she has been left alone in the kitchen.
She is attracted by the Kissing of the drops
of water as they run down the side of the
kettle on the stove. When things boil over,
mother moves them. She must move them,
too But the kettle tips. She is deluged with
scalding water. Screams of paini Then
silence. She is only one of the 10,10O &C
cidental deaths from burns, or $4,000 home
deaths in an average year.
Accidents mean more than the words
"lost-time," disability" economic loss"
or production delays" can possibly convey.
The man crippled in the factory the
boy drowned at the beach :. the mother
disabled in street car accident-each brings
incalculable distress, suffering and even
privation. 1t is your job, everybodyS job,
TO STOP these accidents.

keting and local government-offer
opportunities to veterans.
In 1880 the service industries
formed 472 per cent of the ma
tional income as compared with 3d.
per cent in 1920 Economists main
tain that if this country is to have
higher and higher standards Of liv-
ing after the war, the movement
into the service occupations should
be encouraged. Certainly factories
alone can't be responsible for full
employment. The big bad indus
trialist, much booted around by Ia
Dor agitatorS. affects less than one
third Of the nations total econ
omy.
Service industries now dominate
both manufacturing and agricul-
ture as the greatest single factor
in American life today. To illus
trate it: Michigan's resort business
is second only to industry in an
nual dollar income. Like agricul-
ture, 1t is a service industry.
There's no reconversion needed
for service industries unless it is
HUMAN reconverSion, the psyche
logical need for sane thinking
about our new problems.
Finally, just as the veteran must
solve the problem Of individual
security, so he must solve the prob
lem Of national security.
The atomic bomb, plus jet-pro-
PEELED planes, plus vi and W.
robot bombs. have shattered illu-
sions of geographic security and in
sularity from world troubles. Such
is the thesis Of Senator Arthur
VandenbergS appeal for American
participation in the United Ma
tions Council.
The end Of the war, opening
floodgates for release of war time
responsibilities and restrictions, has
already prompted politicians to ad-
vocate abandonment of American
responsibilities in Europe and the
Far Pacific. Let the French, Brit
ish and Chinese do it," is the cry.
Bring our boys home!" When the
boys do come home, and we're all
for it. they will still face the prob
lem of securing peace for their
children. We hope they do better
job than the veterans of World
War I did-and didn't do-and we
served overseas in that party. Pan
doras box of human ills fades into
inconsequence when you analyze
some of the problems which will
greet the Michigan veteran in 1916
and 1916. So give them a helping
hand. And hang onto your hat
while We try the next curve in the
postwar roller coaster that is just
ahead.

AS a boy on a tenant farm in
the sand hills of Webster County,
Georgia, Walter Franklin George
learned in a hard school how taxes
can cramp the lives of farmers,
businessmen, property owners and
renters.
Now 81, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, Sen. George is
working on legislation TO tighten
the burden of wartime taxes. His
friends consider it ironical that to
him, a consistent opponent of high
taxes, fell the duty of serving as a
key legislator in working out war
time levies of more than $40 billion
a year-more than any other ma
ton in history had ever tried to
raise.
Medium build, with gray hair

turning white, Sen. George sub
scribeS to the theory that, in the
long run, reasonable peacetime tax
rates give government more money
than high rates because they en-
courage production, more jobs and
larger pay envelopes.
Even before the atom bomb
forced Japan to surrender, the
Georgian favored reducing 1916
taxes on both corporations and in
dividuaS. He believes lower rates
will aid readjustment in the period
when more and more former war
workers are seeking new jobs. With
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee beginning work on the new
tax program now, he hopes it will
be ready for Congress in q few
weeks.

this central authority as the Brit

authority over internal air activity
than our own Civil Aeronautics

ices a line may make as many
flights as it can get a pay-load for.

transit and non-traffic stops worked
out separately between the countries

Freedoms Essential
To u. S. Flight

You will recall that the delegates
recognized the fact that freedom
of the air" was not as simple a thing
as freedom of the SEAS" because
vessels stop at frontiers since ship
lanes lead only from harbor to har-
Dor, while aircraft crosses borders
and passes over the sovereign terri
tory Of foreign nations.
Thus it was necessary to divide
the perquisites Of the Always into
five freedoms. The first two are the
right of innocent passage-right to
fly over a country, and the right to
land for non-traffic purposes-that is
to stop at a foreign airport for re-
fuelling or other facilities. These
two are essential to America since
our aerial ambitions encircle the
globe, and that can't be done. either
from a practical or a profitable
standpoint. in n jump.
Because Of complications which I
will mention later, involved in the
other freedoms, the first two were
grouped in one form of multilateral
agreement drawn up at Chicago.
The other three freedoms, en-
braced in the second agreement.
were described as follows: the right
to disembark passengers. mail and
freight from the country of origin OF
the aircraft; the right to embark
passengers, mail and freight des-
tined for the country Of origin Of the
aircraft; and, in addition, at the sug'
gestion of Canada, a fifth freedom
was added in the form Of certain
provisions of right of entry and tech
nical regulations.
OF course Russia's last-minute re.
fusal to attend the Chicago confer

all concerned. but the reconciliation

can they get along without plenty OF
oxygen for their hard working root
systems" DR.. Hoffer declared.
Few farmers realize the amount OF
work these roots carry on. They
must anchor the plant firmly, and
absorb nutrients from the soil to
support the demands Of the other
parts Of the plants. They are the
living parts Of the corn plant we
frequently overlook when we try to
diagnose foliage deficiency symp-
toms, or become dissatisfied with the
size and quality Of the ears pro-
duced."
Pointing out that many fields OF
midwestern corn were fortified by
the so-called "plow-under" method
last season, DR.. Hoffer declared that
excellent results were obtained in
practically all cases where the soils
we're well-drained and in good filth
and where the stands Of corn and
the rainfall were ample.
During the latter part Of the 1914
growing season, however, numerous
cases of negative" response to the
plow-furrow fertilizers were re-
ported. The heavily fortified plants
were no better than those fertilized
in the regular manner with row ap'
plications.
Briefly, the diagnosis Of these
troubles seemed to be as follows
DR.. Hoffer stated. when large
quantities of organic matter and
nitrogen : carrying fertilizers are
plowed into the soil, enormous
amounts of nutrient and energy
materials are available for the corr
plant roots and the soil organisms
mostly bacteria and fungi-to feec
upon. These stimulated activities
created a large demand for oxyger
for both the growing corn roots anc
those other soil inhabitants. Ii
well-drained soils in good filth anc
aeration capacity, the oxygen of the
air and that carried into the sol
in rain is adequate for all the living
entities involved.
But when the supply of oxyger
in the soil, air and water become!
insufficient for the living corn root!
and other organisms, an oxyger
tension is created under which thu
corr roots cannot compete with thu
soil bacteria and fungi"
