Since the opening of the hospitals
three years ago, the reports further

beds are filled and additional institu-

probably will come a determined
movement to reach the “man behind
the wheel” whose incapability for
safe driving is left as the principal
cause of accidents.
The solution would appear to be
first to insure that everybody who
drives is a capable and careful driv-
er, and second to do everything pos-
sible to eliminate conditions that
prevent him from exercising his skill
properly. The first purpose can be
served by a universal system of li-
censing drivers with proper tests a.->
to experience and fitness and with
revocation penalties for carelessness
or recklessness. The second purpose
may be gained by continued improve-
ment of traffic regulations, by eli-
mination of “bbnd” intersections, by
prohibiting parking in areas of
heavy traffic, thereby increasing
visibility, and many other devices
now in operation or which suggest
themselves.
The continuous rise in the fatality
toll of the automobile is a discredit
to Americans. It. is a problem that,
must be solved.—Ft. Worth Star

TURKEYS ARE BECOMING
SCARCER
I read in the papers that the
scientists of the Federal Depnrtmen'
of Agriculture are struggling with
the problem of overcoming the ten-
dency of turkeys to disappear from
the land. These delectable fowls
are on the decline everywhere. The
great Southwestern producing re-
gions, our present main source of
supply, showed a decrease of twen-
ty-three per cent in 1925. A liver

THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
Quizzing a boy is not always so
easy as it seems. Here is an in-
stance in v'hich a New Yorker came
out second best in a passage of re-
parte with a lad named Richard who
looked after the hat room in a well
known cafe.
The diner started out of the cafe
after his meal and was seized, as
Richard handed him his hat, with an
impulse to quiz the lad.
“Is this my hat?” he demanded.
“I don’t know, sir?”
“Well, then, why do you hand it to
me if you don’t know whether it is
my hat or not?”
“Because it is the one you handed
to mr when you came in,” said
Richard.—Kansas City Star.
YOU HATE TO LOOK
AT A PIMPLY FACE
There is periiaps nothing- more dis-
tressing to people who are bothered
with them, and surely nothing as dis-
pleasing- to others who see them, as
pimples, blotches, bumps, rash, scro-
fula, eczema, “breaking out,” and
similar skin disfigurers.
