It ie said, that "regulatian of street traffic's was one of the dues iudus- triously performed by Marcus Aurel- ius Antanious, Emperor and Commis- sioner of Public Safety of the Roman Empire, A.D..,161. Ever since those ancient days -traffic has been getting .heavier and heavier until now it would seem that the point of traffic saturation has about been reached. But there is a big ,difference in re- spect to volume of fatalities that oc- cur in these days as contrasted with Roman Empire tines. Then a couple of chariots might collide with little possibility of any one getting serious- ly .. hurt, Now, however, the man in an automobile is operating• a heavy and powerful vehicle which can read- ily ,become •a medium of considerable mortality. About fifty deaths per day or 18,000 per annum, With 100,000 accidents that deal out no death, only injuries, is the record of auto fatalities in America, The question that must be aswered is "How can these automo— tive disasters be reduced to a mini-. mum?” The answer is not so difficult as is the task of getting folks to see ognize the answer and act accord- ingly. The answer to a large extent is "careful driving." People who oper- ate automobiles must exercise more care if such accidents are reduced. But there is another answer and that is, "careful walking." All the respon- sibility for auto accidents cannot be laid up against the drivers. Some ped- estrians are far more reckless than the most reckless drivers. They co-urt death by the way in which they viol -ate traffic rules. ONE QF CHIEF moues. One of the chief evils which affect the auto accident situation is drunken- ness. Other causes included reckless driving, speeding, under age, violation of highway law, causing accidents, couldn't read signs and wrong plates. If a motorist really desires to avoid accidents let him consider the follow- ing points: In the first place when go- ing driving he should be sure his ma- chine is in first-class condition. That will insure better control in an emerg- ency.: Then he can well afford to drive at a moderate rate of speed. A mo- ment or two saved by reckless speed - the driver and his carout of ematnt s cion for several days perhaps far sev eral months. 'I.lurrying to get 'ahead of a train, a street car or another ve biele saves only a moment or two at the ultimate destination, The gain is not worth the price when there is dan- ger of accident, The best drivers are especially cae- ful at dusk. There is then neither enough daylight nor sufficient artifi tial light to make objects distinguish- able at ordinary distance, Slow up for all' turns in the road, Blind cola ners are dange-When hen it is im- possible to see' what is coining from around the corner be prepared to stop. Sound horn a short distance before reaching the intersection, Use chains whenever there is dan- ger of skidding. Install chains on both rear wheels or none at all. One chain is sometimes warse than none. Drive slowly at bridges. A bad rut or a slang in the road may throw a driver's car against the structure. When attempting to pass another ve- hicle going in the. fame direction start turning out to the left at Least seventy-five feet to the rear. If you get too close your view of the road. ahead is obstructed and you may turn directly in front of acether car con- ing toward you. When you have pass- ed a car da not cut back into the road nae slow down too soon, BE CAREFUL WHEN BACKING. Aiways be careful when backing, Sound your horn; signal other .cars and look back to see where you are going. Mirrors are valuable at all times. Bumpers also have a safety feature not to be overlooked. Clean wind -shields give the driver a clear view ahead. Every car should have a wind -shield wiper which Will pre- vent snow or rain from obstructing the driver's view, When driving, do not attempt to carry an a conversation with others in the car. Small children should prefer- ably sit in• the rear of the car and cer- tainly -they should never be held in or between the arms of the driver. Safe driving demands the full and undi- vided attention of the driver. Be sure to signal when driving toward or away from the curb.

Do Not Pick the Flowers, Mr.00deli was reputed to be the largest landowner in the country, and it seemed selfish in him to put signs on his fences that read: "Do not pick the Sowers."

A man travelling amid high snow mountains was moved by their majesty and beauty to a sense of their eternal peace and inimitable strength and felt rebuked by a sense of his own little- ness in the worshipful presence of na- ture. But when he carie to snowfields and glaciers the wind blew down his tent, snow six days on end whirled and whooped about him, the poetry faded out of the landscape. When Shackle - ton's men rowed 800 miles in an open boat across wild Antarctic waters to Elephant Island they lost the beauty of the sea; it became hideous. So our own condition changes the text in our reading of the world.

The symbolism of the glove wills used again between men at variance. A coronion way' of provoking an enemy to a' duel was to flick a glove across the fano. A glove, too, was somethnes a mark of fealty between friends. Then there was the custom of flinging down a glove to be taken up in defiance, of which the last retie in' this country was the challenge of the King's Ghatu- pion• to all and sundry at a coronation.
