STATE ISSUES AUTO DRIVERS FALLWARNING Autumn Is Time to Exercise Extra Caution Indianapolis', Oct; 14« —Despite the opiimi.tic safety report for the nicn'.h of August, Don F. Stiver, State Safety Director, today warned motorists of the dangers of autumn and winter driving. “The autumnal months of Octo-' ber, Novei/iber -and December, with earlier hours of darkness, dense night fogs, wet leaves on pavements, and ice, sleet and! snow will dangerously augment j the hazards of automobile travel, Mr. Stiver said. “While the statis-l tics give some slight encourage-, juent, to the agencies promoting, accident prevention in Indiana,! unless extraordinary precautions are taken to safeguard »ives, bad seasonal weather conditions will send traffic deaths skyrocketing.” The monthly safety report showed that automobile fatalities during August of this year decreased J 2-1 over those of August, 1936. The! Ictal for the first eight months of 1937, however, has increased 911 over the fa* ties for the same, period last or about 10 per cent. Gasoli jmption for the! eight-mo ricj increased 14per cen v .r’ reveals that! fewer ac ccurred per traveled o. In Indiana’s traffic safety con-j test, conducted by the Department ( of Public Safety, the leading! cities and counties in fatality pre-j vention statistically rated. Ft. I Wayne leads cities over 70,C00i population with a low death rate, I with a yearly estimated rate of only 5 fatalities to each 110,0001 persons, as compared to 31 for Indianapolis, three times its size, [ and of 54 for -Gary, slightly small-■ er than Ft. Wayne. Lafayette holds top rank among cities from,. ; 25,000 to 70,000, while Newcastle heads cities from 10,000 to 25,000. Washington is the largest city in the next class, from 5,000 to 10,000’, I in which no traffic deaths have occurred in 1937. Ini the next bracket, from to 5,000, Martinsville is the largest! city without a death. It is in thist group that the greatest decrease in city deaths has occurred. For towns of less than 2,000, which altogether have shown the greatest' percentage of rise ini persons li'dcd, Danviilc 'ie&ds the list of safest towns. - I 1 Insurance Men Hold Outing At Turkey Run Park The insurance organization has! a membership of several jthous-1 and, representing every section of the state, and is headed by Homer L.

SO you have made up your mind to let your house go modern! You have passed the point of being startled by a walnut table with glass legs or a fireplace faced with blue mirror glass. You acknowledge that this idea of space saving is smartly useful in a built-in wall bench and desk combined. A segmental sofa that turns into single easy chairs when you choose to pull it apart makes for variety. Well, the background of a truly modern room must be in keeping with the furniture that is to go in it. The selection of wall surface may be the determining factor in deciding whether a room will be restful or distracting in its general effect. It is a principle among the modernists that horizontal lines produce that restful feeling which is so much needed at home in

> Looking For Light By BUSY DOUGLAS I © McClure Newspaper Syndicate. WNU Service. ' « T'M SORRY—but I must have a 1 * north light,” said Lydia Clinker i for* perhaps the sixth time that aft-1 ernoon. Her work required light I She had a list of C U D T advertisements for I* ■ studio rooms with *gj nf* northern exposure 3 rl \J K I or at least a north transom skylight. TORT She was tired and discouraged at the bare, unattractive rooms offered to her for such big rents. “I’ll try one more and call it a day—and not a perfect day, either,” ' she said to herself as she looked at the next number advertised. She climbed the outer stairs and pulled the old-fashioned knob-bell. “You advertise a studio?” she said, as if speaking out of a copybook. “Yes; this way.” A tired but neatly clad woman led the way up the uncarpeted stairs to the third floor, where she opened a door into a cheerful furnished room. . ° Lydia smiled her pleasure. “This is a pleasant room and the light is good. I make silhouettes —fine black and white work and I need a strong north light. Is this—for rent?” The woman told her that it was but she could not tell her how long she might keep it. “The young man who has been living here with me has gone out to stay for a while on Long Island to do some special reporting for his paper. He is a special reporter and may be away for weeks. He asked me to rent his room furnished—even his bocks—to the right party. He said if he came back for a day or two he would sleep anywhere I I could put him.” [ T YDIA’S eyes had fallen upon a . basketlike container for letters ■ and postal cards. She was scarcely hearing what the landlady said. I Suddenly she came to herself. “I [ seem to like the room. It seems homey—somehow,’“she explained. She took possession the following morning and as soon as the door ' was closed on the landlady’s back she took down the basketlike letterholder. Without looking at the contents, she turned the .straw hat—for such it proved to be—over and over, I “Yes—this is it. The very poke bonnet Mother sent me from New •York whgn I was doing odds And I J ends of illustrating on the Omaha paper. And to think he has kept it all these years. I had—almost for-, gotten—him,” she admitted somewhat lamely. For with the sight of the old poke bonnet that she had worn so be-, comingly and so happily five years! before during her western appren-| ticeship, all the old memories re-1 turned to send her blood tingling ; through her veins. George Dawson, | then a cub reporter with a desk next to her own, had fallen in love with] her and had begged her to leave him that hat so that he might al-1 ways call to mind the picture she I l made to him then. For Lydia had ! found herself far from ready to be, in love—much less to admit it. But! j she had given him the hat, and now, [ I years afterwards, she had come up- ; on it in a furnished studio room—- ! faded, worn, but the same sentimental keepsake. SHE was having a cup of coffee and a roll at the desk when the knock of the landlady startled her. “Come in,” she called. “Mr. Dawes is down stairs and as he has to make a hurried business trip West, he thought he had better get into his trunk and get more clothes,” said the woman. “It’s out in the hall but he has to have light from this room to see to get into it. Would you mind letting him?” “Surely not,” said Lydia, trembling like a school girl. The landlady departed. Presently, footsteps coming up, almost echoed her descending tread. Lydia stood in the doorway, the north light throwing out the golden glints of her short, fluffy hair. “Lydia—Lydia!” cried Dawes, taking both her hands. “Is it really you—at last’” “Does it look like—me?” she asked. The trunk and the clothes were forgotten until the steps of the landlady were heard on the stairs. “Promise —you’ll stay till I get back and—” “I knew the old hat at once, George,” said Lydia. “Little did you think, back there in Omaha, when you chucked me over so heartlessly, that I would wait through eternity for you if necessary.” “No—l—just didn’t think at all in those days.” “Well suppose you spend the next two weeks thinking—of me and making plans so that we may be married when I get back. I’m married to this job right now. dear, and I’m making good on it. Please?” Lydia assured him that she would wait and he left her, satisfied that at last he was the happiest man in the world.

Since the open season began in the Northern' Zone on September 1, reports indicate that hunters are finding plenty of sport.

Considerable interest in beaver is being shown by farmers in th:»t section of the state and seve al requests have been received, asking that beaver be planted in designated areas. Through the dams built by beaver, water tables h ve been raised in adjoining fields wiih a consequent benefit to crops. Under an act of the General Assembly, beaver are protected and it is unlawful to take, kill, possess or molest any beaver.
