0 *• BRAUM vit © WjKe'&tfety (Man%/Jj Every town, city and hamlet has its traffic problems. Every town, city, and hamlet has at least a half dozen residents who feel they know the, answer to these traffic problems. Some persons, given a little power, immediately go haywire in suggesting cures to treat ordinary traffic problems. Let’s not become hysterical In onr cures. Let’s not become arbitrary in making decisions which require study instead of snap judgment. Frequently, when individuals have requested that arteiial signs be placed at some intersection we have found upon careful traffic analyses that the reason for so many “near accidents” was the fact that shrubbery, board fences and other obstructions interfered with the driver’s vision. Upon removal of some of these obstructions, no arterial signs were necessary. Traffic should flow smoothly, evenly, and thoroughly. Whenever traffic stops, congestion occurs, and when you have congestion, you have trouble. Let’s study our traffic problems before we try snap judgment cures.

BIG SCALE MINING What is described as the most spectacular mining operation in the world today is under way in Arizona, where an estimated 74 million tons of earth must be stripped from a copper ore deposit, as a preliminary to mining the ore itself. This excavation work is going forward at the rate of about 28,000 tons a day, using power shovels that lift two tons or more of earth at a bite. The earth is deposited in special trucks and hauled away to fill a nearby canyon. Under the surface of the earth at an average depth of about 420 feet, lies the vast bed of ore, ascertained by diamond drilling to be approximately a mile long, half a mile wide and 800 feet thick. It is estimated that 250 million ions of ore ultimately may be taken from the mine. It is of low grade, however, and contains only about 10 pounds of copper to the ton. Such “lean” ore could only be mined at a profit by mass production and with the most modern equipment. Naturally, an enormous amount of capital was necessary to undertake the development of the mine at all. But through American initla-

Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB ■ I ■■■■■■■■ ■ ■■■,, Unconscious Humor! By IRVIN S. COBB TT is stated that lately Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, was presiding at a dinner. After the eating part was over came the inevitable speech-making. Presently a most dignified and ponderous person got upon his feet in response to an invitation from the chair.man and proceeded to unburden himself of what was on his mind, Pur ke- j | ‘ Q 251 S OJeM out ! / rr — if any. He was one of those blights cn modern society, afflicted with the sin of a galloping tongue who, from time to time, begins a phase of the oration with the line: “Just one word more, my friends”— and then never keeps the promise! This particular individual was an especially boresome specimen of his type. He droned on and on interminably. The audience grew impatient and fretful. The hum of conversation grew louder and louder. Governor Pinchot felt it his duty to rap for order. As he brought his gavel down with emphasis on the table, the handle snapped. The maul-shaped instrument of hard wood hurtled through the air and struck with a resounding thud squarely on the high, bald forehead of a gentleman seated at a guest table ten feet away. The victim, who already was in a slightly groggy state as a result of reference to his private flask before the festivities began, sank back in his chair. A horrified hu h followed the accident. The speaker took advantage of the quiet to go on with his remarks. At this, the injured gentleman revived slightly. With his eyes still closed he murmured in a voice, audible to all present: “Please hit me again. I can still hear him!” (Americas New» Features, Inc.l BUMPER TO BUMPER SERVICE!!

tive, capital and courage, the difficulties attending this amazing operation are being overcome and another hitherto unproductive natural resource will be added to the nation’s wealth. BEST LAYING CHICKENS ARE BORN IN FEBRUARY Chickens hatched in February will lay 50c to $1 worth more eggs in a year than those hatch, ed in April or May, according to Mrs. Ann Engle, of Medaryville, Indiana, a poultry raiser for more than 23 years, who has been selected to appear as guest speaker on the Farmers’ Forum radio series the week of September 25. The Forum may be heard over stations WLS, WOWO and WIRE, most popular stations for this locality. Broadcasts will be made over WLS and WOWO on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 p.m., and over WIRE on Tuesday at 6:15 p. m„ (CST). Mrs. Engle will be interviewed by Sam Guard, noted farm authority and editor of Breeder’s Gazette. Each week Mr. Guard asks some well-known and succesful farmer or his wife to contribute to his popular 30-minute program, sponsored by Dr. Hess & Clark, of Ashland, Ohio.

Mrs. Engle is a very successful poultry raiser. She has found that pullets hatched in February lay more eggs when the price of eggs is highest—in the fall and winter. She has records o show that her chickens average 179 eggs yer year, and she claims that a hen has to lay nearly 100 eggs to pay the cost of her feed and up-keep. From then on the profit begins.
