History Marches On.
’ The slow passage of the years has a way of ,
• .upsetting the applecart of custom and turning
entire nations upside down: What was. isn’t;
what wasn’t. is.
It is something of a shock, after reading
current news from Central Europe, to pick up
a folumeof Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall
of the Roman Empire and stumble quite by
accident upon this passage quoted from Taei-
tns. the great historian whose name is a syno-
nym for brevity:
“A warlike nation like the Germans, ivith-
out either cities, letters, arts, or money, found
some compensation for this savage state in the
. enjoyment of liberty ”
You see by contrasting this passage with
current news how Tim has reversed things
for the German people.
. Today they have cities, letters, arts and
sme money, but they have swapped their age-
old independence and liberty for the yoke of
an upstart foreigner.
.They who for centuries were known as the
Franks, signifying freedom. have put on the
chains of Hitler and are being driven willy,
nilly into another conflict which will dwarf
that of 1914 V
Back in the old days they wore no man's

They were the terrors of the Roman world To-
day. whether they like it or not, they wear
the livery of a dictator.
The ancient Roman world they helped to
smash grew soft and permitted dictator after

“Aha." Asey said. "Render is

told Bertha, the Leaches' cook.
After “America” and "BIllingsgate
Beautiful.” the remainder of the
morning was devoted to a reunion
of Old Settlers at the various
churches, an address of welcome
at the Town Hall, and at twelve-
trty there was to be a luncheon
for the lambs. given by the select-
men in the Women's Club Parlor.

Betty often wondered whyit was

that she was losing friends faster

that the only one who could possi-

urbs to become integral parts of Abilene.
The 1930 census did give Angelo a larger
4 population than Abilene, 25,304 to 23,129. Per-
\ haps the Queen City of the Conchos was more
suecessful in indueing its suburban areas to
come in, for with its suburbs Abilene had a to-
tal of over 26,000.
We may never overtake the sheep country
capital in the matter of population, of course,
but there is no law against trying to make the
most of the situation.
It isn’t only that we have to listen to the
rawhi'ding of the Angeloans, either: there are
many material reasons why Abilene should
make as big a showing in 1940 as possible. We
missed out on many things in this decade be-
cause a momentary slump in 1930 gave us a
population under 25,000.
Mutually Advantageous.
The San Angelo Standard has it that Abi-

Today’s population, of course, is much
greater—how much nobody knows. But that
is po reason’why we should not exhaust every
resource to induce the suburbs to come in for
mutual advantage All the city would get out
of it would be a larger population and a little
more tax revenue’; it would have to assume
the duty of giving fire.-water ahd police pro-
tection and free schooling to the inhabitants
of the suburbs. These exchanges would just
about balance each other, with each side mk-
ing a few sacrifices and a few gains; but the

Records at Yellowstone park
allow that 777 trailers came Into
the park in August, 1937, in con-
trast with 597 in August of 1938
The average number of people
varied from three to four Some
10 per cent were ustg the trailers
continuously as a home and about
90 per cent used them merely for
vacations.
To protect the public generally
against the hazards arising from
the use of trailers, the following
suggestions are made;
In every trailer camp there
should be at least one attendant
whose duty it is to mattain the
camp and equipment in a clear,
orderly and sanitary condition
He should also’ make a perma-
nent record of the name and ad-
drees of the owner, the license
number, the home state, and
number of occupants of each
trailer

Air Safety. .
From the Washington Star:
Major domestic air transport lines now are
completing a winter of flying operations
marked by continuously increasing traffic j
without a single fatal accident. It is pleasing
to note that Pennsylvania-Central Airlines, op-
erating out of Washington to Milwaukee and
to Buffalo, now is completing its twelfth year
of operations without a fatality, believed to'
be a wrld record.
Minter airline operations, formerly attend-
ed by difficulties, have lost their terrors as a
result of increasing efficiency of airline
weather service, radio range beacon service,
instrument flight training of air transport
crews, ami the development of carburetor heat-
ers. de-icing devices for wings and propellers,
and anti-static radio antennae
-Coupled with corresponding improvements
in operating procedure as a result of the joint
efforts of the airlines and of the new Civil
Aeronautics Authority, these advances are re-
flected in the’bst winter safety record in air
transport history.
