PROBLEM POSED BY PEDESTRIANS
Unable to Adapt Selves to Development of Auto, Says Myers.
Pedestrians have not been able to adapt themselves to the rapid development of automotive transpor-| tation, Hallie Myers, State Highway! Commission director of traffic, said| today. “The development of our automotive transportation system has been| so rapid that the individual has not! been able to adapt himself to it) cither as a driver or as a pedes-| trian,” Mr. Myers said. “More than 60 per cent of all traf-| fic deaths in cities today are pedestrian deaths. Not all pedes-| trians drive cars, but all qrivers| walk, so at some time or other all! of us are a part of this problem. | “Most pedestrian accidents occur in cities and towns and very few in| strictly rural territory. However, the death rate per accident is higher in rural territory due to increased velocity. Most victims are aged 50 years or more and an extremely large percentage of them are nondrivers. { Mr. Myers placed some of the blame for the great number of pedestrian accidents at night on inadequate street lighting at dan-| gerous intersections. He recommended safety islands at unusually hazardous locations on wide streets, night enforcement of speed laws, painted cross walks and voluntary obedience to parking laws.
POLICE WERE SCARED | BUT EDDIE WASN'T
i MANKATO, Minn, May 24 (U.! P) —Dynamite, like women-—-so ex- | perts say—grows increasingly touchy with age. Eddie Becker didn't know it. Eddie, who was only doing his! duty as he saw it, walked into tha | police station here, dumped a big box on the aesk. | “I found this stuff in a shed I was cleaning,” he said, rapping on | the box for attention. “What do| you want me to do with it?” | “What's in it?” the desk ser-| geant asked | “Dynamite,” said Eddie. “Where | do you want me to put it?” | The desk sergeant looked; the | acting chief peeked under the box lid, and the dog-catcher, who just! happened to be around, crowded | over to see. The dynamite, they | deciced at a glance, had reacheq a stage decidedly ripe and dangerous. The chief didn't say a word. The | desk sergeant could not. And the | dog-catcher also was a prudent | man. “Look,” said Eddie, rapping the box again, “I want to know where | you want me to put this” | The desk sergeant couldn't speak. The dog-catcher would not. And the acting chief told Eddie, in whispers. | The box was transported care- | fully—so very carefully<to a! quarry three miles from town. The acting chief didn't carry it. | The desk sergeant couldn't leave | the station. And the dog-catcher | was busy. Eddie carried it.
Hitler's Blunder —Scaring British
LONDON, May 24 (U. P) George Bernard Shaw said today that Adolf Hitler had made the “awful blunder” of frightening the British, “Now that we're thoroughly frightened,” he said, discussing the Government's emergency pow= ers, “we'll be all right. Until the English are frightened they never do anything but play ericket, foot ball, hopscotch and tennis. “The Kaiser made the mistake of frightening the English and now Hitler has made the same awful blunder. . . . Now Hitler is going to find out what we're like when we're frightened.” i 0 Ww ' YOU CAN * PURCHASE

KEEPS CHECK RATHER THAN LOSE A PENNY,
MONTEREY, Tenn., May 24 (U. P.).—If bookkeepers for the Social Security Board can't get their bank books to balance, probably they should remember that Gilford Dillard of Monterey figured it was not economical to spend a dime to get 9 cents.
Dillard received a check for 9 cents from the Social Security Board. The bank would have charged him 10 cents for handling it had he cashed the check—so he kept the check.
