IT’S NO RIDDLE
It seems a riddle that most aciei-
dents occur when the driver is. go
ing straight ahead. It ysn't any rid
dle at all. Can you solve it? Here’s
a clue; That’s the only time when
the driver can really “step on the
gas.” Last year, its 628 accidents
in which people were killed, 521 cars
were “going straight ’ and so were
8,092 of the cars involved in 10,-
438 non-fatal accidents. HIGHWAY

“LET’S GET AN INSPIRATION”
Just a few years ago a pear producer who was doing well in
his line concluded that he must make a greater success of his or

“get an inspiration.” He heard an outstanding grower telling
what he did with his trees and immediately applied what he had
learned in his own orchard. Result? His orchard was practically
put out of business. Many other souls in other walks of life«have

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
This disease is causing a deal ...of anxiety,

it is well to heed the following suggestions; Fear
enemy. Most people have had very mild attacks of this disease
that have developed in their systems anti bodies that destroy the
infantile virus that now enters their .systems. Children are not
likely to have developed these anti bodies and so are liable to at
tack. However, should an adult not have developed these anti
bodies and be exposed to considerable virus, he is as liable to be
come a victim of the disease as is a child, for Infantile Paralysis
is no reSpector of age or sex. Should one be attacked, he should
keep- still. The affected part should,-be kept particularly still, in a
cast if the doctor so orders. Further, experience proves that if due
precautions are taken the paralysis is likely to yield to treatment.
So don’t get scared. Do as your doctor tells you. Well folk
should avoid all droplets and spray from the mouth and noses of
other people. Coughers and sneezers -should cover their mouths
and noses with an ample handkerchief. Keep in good health and
spirits by eating good food, getting plenty of rest, and doing a fair
day’s work or play. But don’t confuse an upset tummy due to
too much peaches and pears and poor candy with this Infantile
Paralysis germ, that has a way of passing through the finest filters

.Spade work! We are apt to turn up our noses when we speak
of spade work and to say, loftily, “The day for that sort of thing is
past. We plow our gardens. We turn the tractor loose on our
fields. We do things in a big way.” Those of us who are inclined
to envy our friends who do things “in a big way” may find some
consolation in an 'article published recently by iSelfridge & Do,, of
London, England, under the h>eading"“Spade Work”. Selfridge's our
readers will remember, is one of the biggest retail firms in « the
world. Yet they talk about “Spade Work”. When a firm of such
« Wealth and usefulness and extent talks in this way, what about ouf
selves? People are eager, as a rule, to rush about and to get their
fingers into a great many pies. They shave or marcel by electric
power. They rest by a split second watch. They deal out civility
