With an almost steady 'strqjnu of traffic both ways, and the“passing of each car a chance for • a possible mishap, it would set'iu that the actual percentage of accidents according to the number of chances is rather small. Rut this does not argue that on* should be satisfied with the present rate of highway disasters sojhuch as it insists upon greater catQion 'in the interests of safe drying. • The mechanical provisiotg for safe driving can not go f migh fucth r without impeding the usefulness of the auto, so the only chMice lor bettering conditions is in <he tyuinan factor. The fneans to this end is in graater * supervision of drivers licenses: and better education of nujorists. it is not necessary that evjjy driver be a skilled mechanic or"tliat.he should understand his caF like a locomotive engineer nirtfct know his engine; but it is ** < doffbtful if the average motorist really Knows why he pushes a certain pedal lather than the other. Tin* triyning of a driver should be mitre than the few lessons he gets when he purchases a car, but siivmld .include some fundamentals of-the ’principles of auto locomotion so that he can explain why do a certain tiling in an < nu-rgency.

Many times it seems to us that the old fashioned sentiment to aid your neighbor has been swallowed up in this age of flivvers but occasionally we find traces that we still love them as ourselves. A day or two ago neighbors of Mrs. Mary Bracken and Mrs. James Rigle, widows, living near Noblesville, gathered at these places with sixteen tractors and proceeded to plow up forty-two acres of ground and get it in condition for the spring planting. That's real religion to us. Every body is over the primary, ready to settle down to business and in due time the campaign for tlie general election will open. The fust thing on the program politically will be the reorganization of th- committees which will occur next Saturday, then will come the district meet, the state organization and then the state conventions. After that there will be the summer lull before the guns open for the finals. The paint up season is on and we are hoping that the example now bring set by several will Irecome one hundred per cent contageolis. We know of no improvement which helps the business district of a town more than keeping the fronts nicely painted and in good order. The seven miles of highway noitrr of* here on number sixteen nerds something, a new top dressing. another coat of stone ami tar or a facing of concrete and the proper petition sent to the state commission might get results. Any way its worth trying. Some of the boys, especially Erank Martin, Burl Johnson. Dore Erwin and Milt Werling ran like scared rabbits. Its going to be ■mni' job to outrace them in the election and you will find the other fellows sprinting right with them when the time comes. The city of Mishawaka, in the front yard of South Bend, shows I i popultaion gain of 88% in the past ten years and now boasts of more than 28,000 people, size enough not to be sneezed at even by the bigger neighbor. John J. Parker probably feels about like the rest of the defeated candidates. Nominated by the President to be a member of the Unit'd States Supreme Court, he was rejected by the senate by a vote of 41 to 39. T n nadoes have been raising the iickcns in the southwest the past several days and up this way we are hoping that when they get tired whirling down there they slip out in some other direction than this. With the primary out of the road * we can get busy attending to other business, publishing as good a newspaper as we can and otherwise helping each other and the community. —» This is a d‘ mocratic year and the local ticket should go over big. It will if those who should be interested in affairs of this kind will lend their assistance. 0 _ Tin Cans Scarce Loveland. Colo., — (UP) —Tin cans in Loveland are scarce since the I manager a local theater gave a “kids' matinee,'' admission being It'ive cents and five tin cans.
