Tlie worries are over for Hindenburg ami it seems that Hitler is glad of the chance to take tnem on. If it hadn't been for Dillinger ami his mob. jail and prison breaks would be looked upon as common occurrences. Misuse of power t seems to be the condition in North Dakota and Minnesota, where political scraps are going on between those holding high office. Nearly every taxing unit balanced 1 its budget this year and the extra levies made put them in good financial shape. It is likely that reduction in rates will be coming next year apt, as the old saying goes, taxpayers will appreciate it. Going to the world's fair? if , you can't pay the admission price catch a half pint jar of chinch bugs, turn Lhcm in at the gate, and you'll i be admitted during national farm week, August 11 to ISth. according to an announcement of the fair , management. Chicago school teachers are go- | ing to be paid in full, a loan of j more than 22 millions being nego- j tiated with the RFC and the school < city. The army or teachers have ( part of their pay coming from , 1933 and when they get their checks they will feel like celebrat- I ing. ‘ i Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau is going after the bootleggers with all determination one ; could have with the federal government back of you. He says if lie can't clean up the rings, he’s ready to go back home and newspaper < men say he has no intention of 1 quitting. The water stage of St. Mary.; river is about as low now as any time in history, due of course to the lack of rain. A stench already emanates from the river in the north part of town and sewerage which empties into the stream ' makes it more unsanitary., Tho drouth has brought about unusual i conditions and an appreciation of tlie rivers, together with the reali- ( zation that the public has abused them as dumping grounds for sewerage disposal. Within the next 1 few years we may see mahy towns arranging for sewerage disposal : plants in order to protect public health. The cost may be high, but , under the federal public works act,

grants equal to 30 per cent of the amount can be obtained. The total expenditure would probably be large and no community wishes to shoulder the balance until It is abac lutely necessary. A good rain would clean up things a lot easier. THE HIGHWAY PERIL: If a oily of 30,000 souls — gay Suez, Egypt, or Asheville, North Carolina were swept by a strange new pestilence 1 hat left not one person living, mankind would be shocked. Brain cells in countless beads would be agitated and scientists would pool their wisdom to stop the scourge already eating its way into anothor city of like size. And yet—and yet last year in the United States alone, 30,000 persons were killed in motor accidents. Add to that the 850,000 more persons who were injured and still you do not liave the total toll of suffering and heartache. The ghastly part of it all is that it will be increased in the year 1934. Informing the public is the first step in stopping this modern plague. Everyone who grips a steering-wheel should know the practices which breed trouble. A large insurance company, after an extensive study of causes of accidents lias set them down in this order: 1. Drove 100 fast for conditions -this accounted for approximately three-fourths of all mishaps in 1933 assigned to driving blunders. 2. Failed to slow down at intersections. 3. Failed to keep to the right. 4. Tried to pass another car going in the same direction when view was obstructed. 5. Failed to slow down for approaching pedestrians. 6. Passed on the right of a preceding vehicle. 7. Ignored important traffic control devices. . S. Parked at dangerous spots. We live in a motorized age from that there is no appeal. We are going to have automobiles; that fact is basic. But individually and collectively we have got to make streets and highways safe, not only for tlie man at the wheel, but for the pedestrian. Human life is too valuable a tiling to sacrifice wantonly to the antics of the ignorant or the "cheese-brained'' individual. Those 30,000 men, women and children must not be forgotten. — ltotarian Magazine. 'f~ Answers To Test Questions — Below are the answers to the j Test Questions printed on Page Two. ♦ ♦ 1.
