REX YOUNG When the women of-the nation, state or city band together for right ing a wrong or for defense of a right. they usually succeed. Just now the women of the nation are banding to gether to fight the ever-increasing toll of death and injury from automo bile accidents. This means that or ganized women have determined that careless driving, or driving by drunk en or irresponsible persons and care less walking must cease. The first attack of this army of women who would defend their loved ones and themselves from death or maiming is on. The crusaders ex pect to bring home to every man and woman who drives a motor vehicle the seriousness of the matter and ex act a pledge for safe driving. The motorist, hurrying to get home or to keep an engagement, fails to realize that he is his brother's keep er. This new movement, with its slogan "Safety or Sorrow," warns the motorist and impresses on him the heartache and economic loss that comes from the death of man, woman or child in auto crashes.

For, while "either is safe enough if taken in reasonable quan tities, the two together will not agree' and are sure to cause trouble. While j listlessly moving niout the halls someone recalled . tM; sage saying, j "Music hath charms to sooth thej savage breast. Then we reasoned, if the breast. why not the stomach as well? Soj we gathered in the parlor for some music. The new radio and loud-j speaker, recently presented to the; Home, ale certainly the last words j to date in radio receivers. Thel human voice and instrumental tones! are so life-like as to be really spooky. We are inclined to look behind thej curtains to assure ourselves that the; performers are not really in the room. Then there is nothing selfish about them. Ail the neighbors for blocks around may share our pleasure with us. It being early evening, we first attended the tabernacle meeting on Dodge St., Omaha, conducted by Bro. Brown, and at its close we enjoyed a splendid church, service in . Des Moines. I really think these services helped us physically, mentally, and spiritually, and we missed nothing at either service except the con tribution plates. We then flirted with a number of .broadcasting stations throughout the middle-west and finally brought up in New York City and were ushered into a Grand Opera without a demand for tickets. Isn't it wonderful what training will do for the human voice. How the prima donna thrilled and warbled. Then she began to rise, singing, like a lark as she went higher and higher, till we wondered would she ever come to earth again But she came, like the birds in the spring the robins, the thrush, and the mocking bird, their voices mingling in perfect har mony. Oh, wasn't it grand? On our way home we stopped of? in Arkansas and were entertained by a fine pipe organ recital in Hot Springs. The announcers inquired about the weather up north. He said the weather was fine down there and he invited us to come on down. As it was now bed time, we separated and sought refreshment in sleep. After writing a letter or two, I retired and my conscience being fairly clear I was soon asleep and began to dream. I thought I was at the end of a long bridge which spaned a large river, husre factory buildings towered on either side. I spread my roll of blankets, which I carried, on the' ground near the bridge and lay down to sleep. Presently I heard foot- tion of a factory building. The night was dark as pitch, but as the foot steps drew near I could make out the form of a man, steadily approaching. I surmised he had designs on my blanket. When within reach I sprang at him, my hands clutching for his throat, as I yelled "who in the devil are you?" I was wakened by the sound of my own voice. As I grinned at the pranks of the night mare I thought of my advice to the ladies at the table and recalled the line from Shakespeare. "It is easier to teach twenty what is right to do, than to' be one of the twenty to follow niyj own instruction." I slept and dreamed again, I thought! I was in the lobby of a hotel. ! A number of traveling salesmen were i assembled there. I began to tell them! of my adventure with the nightmare. As I proceeded, my voice gradually diminished in volume and strength till when I reached the point where had given the fierce yell it was no more than a stammering ya! ya! ya! But there were other yells and cries about the building and I woke again to find the same old night mare was pursuing me still. I heard Dan Mead telling Joe Lloyd it was four o'clock and he must get np to breakfast. "Four o'clock! Breakfast! Dan, you go back to bed and keep still till the triangle rings." yelled Joe. I DOC.

Denver's school children approximately 42,000 of them-: dug in at their class room tasks .again today after a "week-end" holiday Christmas vacation. Hereto fore public schools have been closed two weeks in the yuletide season. This year it was a three day vaca tion. Another holiday will be in order on New Year's day, and the children will return to school again next Mon day. Jesse H.
