Registration figures may show us that there are 7,000,000 owners of motor cars in this country, but how many of them can really be called drivers? The most successful race track driver in the world may not be a good touring driver if be takes unnecessary risks and endangers the safety of other road users. You may actually be the best diriver in your section, but your own andl the lives of the other occupants of your car are never safe unless you remember that there is always a fool just ahead of you, and another just behind you. It is -these fools-those without sufficient common sense to Prevent them from taking unneces sary chances, or those who lose their .heads in the slightest emergency that are rendering our highways un Hale for the sane motorist.

The source of the trouble lies in E the 'fact that the majority of states f require no examination for fitness as the requisite to secure a driver's li cense, and those that do require such an examination treat it in such a per functory manner that the questions and tests become 'almost farcical. We do not mean to infer that tests as rigid as those required of the flier should be exacted of every motorist; and yet psychological makeup, nerve and quick thinking are important< constituents in safe driving. Why any civilized community should per mit the free use of its roads by in dlividuals of untried ability in comi miand of a powerful, speedy machineI wvhich, by a single false move, can be convertedl into mighty engine of dleath is a puzzle to the careful driver as wvell as to the pedestriami. It would be but a comparatively simple matter to constitute some na tional organization of motorists as a clearing house ,through its state and city organizations for complaints made of reckless dIriving and viola tion of the road rights of others.

This lemedy is one recommended by the United States Department of Agri 'ul ture. Numerous practical tests conducted n lunch rooms, bakertes, milk-bottle 3xchanges, etc., have shown that with ~he use of this substance roaches can >e completely exterminatedl with very ittle trsouble and cost and with none f the possible dlangers attending the uise of hydrocyanic-acid gas, another afflcient maens of control. With the use of some dust gun or blower the sodlium fluorid can be thoroughly dust ed over the shelves, tables, floors, and the runways and hiding places of the roaches. Tihe immediate effect of the powvder is to cause these insects to come out a ftheir retreats and rush about more or less blindly, showing evidence of :liscomfort, to be followed in the course of a few hours by their death, These (lead or paralyzedl roaches can be swepCIt up) aind burned, and compllete otton ! s, Roofiing lals. card, Metal les. ment Co.

It is not dlefinitely known wvhether the sodium fluorid acts through the breathing pores or as a stomach poison. Probably, however, it acts in both ways, inasmuch as it has beeun found to kill caterpillars fed on foliage dusted with it. -0 SERIES OF MISHIAP'S Wilmington, N.
