There is no reason for being surprised at the continued in crease Knch year cars are made faster and more powerful, and a dangerous percentage become the property of drivers who could not be trusted to operate a bicycle safely. Roadways ami surfaces are improved, thus of fering a new temptation to ex^ cessjve speed. And the number of acadents in which dohn Barleycorn is a factor tends to rise steadily. I liiis doesn t mean tnat me automobile accident toll cannot be reduced, it can be—but it is going 1o take action, and not words The individual respon sibility of each motorist when he slides behind the wheel of a projectiJe weighing a, ton or two and capable of doing HO miles n,u hour, must be driven home. Law enforcement must ho strengthened. The “fixer of traffic violations must be eliminated. It must hi* realized that driviing a ear on the pub lic* 'highway Is a privilege, not to he abused, and license* laws must be ■more stringent. hVnnl ]v there must be swift and sure punishment for the reckless or drunken driver.

And we bet the gentleman, we know whht ghell the pea is under, and we go home without our shirt. But if a. feller you know, and hlave seen before, ilf he has a bank, and lie asks folks to put. their money there for safe keep mg and interest, it is not ex citing enough. And a person with some common sens,e idea about bus iness, he don’t get to first base with his ideas. He don’t even get up to bat. ne is &n old fog ey, and we don’t want him around. But soaiie duck comes along with something cracked, but new, and he says, ‘ “Boys, I SLYTER ICE and COAL 00.

Yours whh the Low Down Jo Serra 52 Senators Vote To Keep Bill On Program (Continued from Pape 1) the bill is about 30 votes, with the votes for 'he bill running betwetn 60 and 64—a two to on > margin. Senators N'orri* and Burke of Nebraska both vot d "Yes ' for laying *he bill aside. The main sp >t h of today was th liver.d by Senator Borah who gave his usual argument that th bill is unconstitutional. However, 1; was question-d and interrupted I t < quently by Seffiatont Bennett Clark of Misnoui i and Sherman Minton of Indiana. Senator (lark was especially alert and engaged in several sharp parliamentary d bat s with eppon c nts of the bill. It will be remoni I-red that Senator Clark was the chief defender of the constitution ality of the bill during the argu ment in th • spring of 1935. It ap t'ttrs from this afternoon’s session that the supporters of the bill in tho Senate, encouraged by the tP ech of Senator Wagner yester <la> are determined to become ni iso active. Th debate will be c *ntintieil later, and th- probability is that Senator Minton of Indiana will speak for the bill. Ex-Slave 107.

WPA Highway Work Aids County System (Continued from Page One) Gravel work has been perform ed in the past two years through counity participation in a WPA highway improvement program which included surfacing of former dirt roads and reconstruction of , mileage hadly in need of new grav. I el. Muoh of the reconstructed mile- j age had receivd no surfacing, other than occasional gravel for repair work, over a period of eight to ten years. Previous to the 1936 37 program, the most recent exten sive gravel work in the county was in 1931, when new gravel was applfcd to 96 miles of highway at cost of $168,946, and average of $1,760 a mile. Cost to the county f r giavrling under, the WPA pro gram of 1936-37 has averaged $609 a mile. The projects were distributed so that all sections of the county have a satisfactory share of sur faced thoroughfares, Surveyor Green reports.
