Ths Strangest Puzzle
A car as becume a necessity oi modern life. To own an
automobile is more important to many people than to own a
home. The time and care they lavish on their car often ex-
ceeds the attention they give their families. Then why, when
the thing of beauty and power is harnessed, and these proud
owners get behind the wheel, are so many of them transform-
ed into instruments of death and destruction?
The fact that the millionth traffic death has just occurred
is one of the worst blots on our civilization. So many of those
million died uselessly. So much waste of life and limb and
property could have been saved. We weep over our war dead,
and rightly, but in all our history we have not lost a million
men in war. The automobile has taken more in the half cen-
tury of its existence.
We train men in the various services to survive. We
should do no less for the driver. He is a greater menace than
the foreign enemy. We spend billions to guard against the
prospective enemy’s attack. Schools increasingly are giving
driving lessons. It should be compulsory in all high schools,
as a state and federal project, not a local one. So should adult
education in driving be rquired of all those who are licensed
to drive. Else it will not take but a fractior of the next fifty
years to kill the second million in traffic.

A Debt To History
The infant United States of America first emerged as a
potential world power 150 years ago, when the third Presi-
dent, Thomas Jefferson, sent a naval expedition against the
pirates of Tripoli, who thereafter respected American ships
and asked no more tribute from them. For two centuries, the
Barbary coast pirates had preyed on ships of Christian nat- j
ions, enslaved their crews and stole their cargoes. America’s
bold course was followed by Britain and piracy was des-
troyed.
The pirate state passed under foreign domination, its last
master being Benito Mussolini, for two decades a pretty suc-
cessful pirate himself. It was the battleground that broke Axis
power in Africa in the last war and prepared the way for the,
American landing to the west. Freed from Italy, Tripoli was!
incorporated in the new United Kingdom of Libya, the first
ward of the United Nations to attain full sovereignty. By
playing a leading role in giving Libya her independence, the j
United States paid a debt to history.for it was in Tripoli that
this country first showed signs of her future might.
On the more practical side. Libya with 1.340.00 habitants
in its 1,100.000 square miles, has been called the poorest coun-
try in the world. Its sands bury the glories of Greece, ancient
and modern Rome. Spain, and Germany. It will receive $10.-i
000,000 in aid this year from the United States. Britain and I
France, each of whom have military establishments there. The

Meanwhile close friends have
found the President so tired, so
worried and so upset over those
in his administration who “have
let him down,” that they haven’t
had the heart to tell him how low
his stock has droped throughout
'ie country.
Those gathered with him at a
imiiy party in Independence,
Dwcver, found the president re-
ixed for the first time in weeks,
e joked, gossiped and enjoyed
imself — though tensing when
imebody mentioned the press.
Mrs. Turman, who was looking
otter than ever, dropped a neck-
ice. It had become unfastened
■om around her neck.
“When I don’t put her together,
ie comes apart,” remarked her
of the inner circle because of the
jealousy of White House cronies.
“Today." he writes, "there are
everywhere prayers for lieaoe.
Millions and millions praying for
peace and doing nothing.
“Isn't it fantastic that millions
of people expect help from God to
solve man-made problems that
have confronted us for centuries?
“Millions of us do nothing and
watch one or two men create a
world-wide conflict which will af-
fect all of us.
