A MIGHTY 8EVERE WINTER"
Some other states claim to have
the equivalent of our Dutch Weather
Prophet. Regarding? relative mer<>f

Interested a letter from Cobus Kwuub
of Bluepoint, New York, to the Springfield
Republican:
My friends out here around Grout
South buy uro once more acoming to
me for the official winter forecuBt,
which I have been rendering fishermen,
oysterinen and shore folks for
over half a century. What 1 am telliug
them, sadly but true, is this: "We
are surely going to have a mighty
severe winter."
1 here is no doubt about this. The
signs this year are beyond man's argument.
' 1 have put in "three score and
almost 10" on T^ong Island waters,
learning to read all of nature's symbols
of weather, climate, coming
temperature, etc.
"How come this year's prediction?
Because the oysters out here are bedding
deep, they are getting ready to
hibernate early. They are fat and
when they get fat and go to sleep
early it s a sure sign of a blustery
cold winter; a long one, too. The
oysters spawned early, got plenty of
food and are ready."
It should be pointed out that Mr.
Kwaak has claims to distinction aside
from his qualifications as weatherforecaster.
He has succeeded in interpreting
the silent language of the
unusually uncommunicative oyster.?

Mark Twain Said Never A Just War
Here's what Mark Twain said about
wars, and how they start:
There lias never been a just one,
never an honorable one?one the part
of the instigator of the war. I can
see a million years ahead and this
rule will never change in so many as
a half dozen instances. The loud little
handful?as usual?will shout for
war. The pulpit will, warily and
cautiously object at first; the great,
big, dull bulk of the nation will rub
IRT sleepy eyes and try to make out
why there should be a war and will
say, earnestly and Indignantly, "It Is
unjust and dishonorable, and there is
no necessity for it."
Then the handful will shout louder.
A few fair men on the other side will
argue and reason against, the war
with speech and pen, and at first will
have a hearing and be applauded;
bu,t it will not last long; those others
will out-shout them, and presently the
anti-war audiences will thin out and
lose popularity.
Before long you will see the curious
thing; the speakers stoned from the
platform and free speech strangled
by hordes of furlous> men who in
their secret hearts aire still at one
with those 'speakers?as earlier?but
do not care to say so.
And now the whole nation?pulpit
and all?will take up the war cry,'and
shout itself ifoarse, and mob any honest
man who ventures to reopen his
mouth; and presently such mouths
will cease to open.
Next the statesmen will invent
lies, putting the blame ilpon the nation
that is attacked and every man
will be glad of those conscience-soothing
falsities, and \yill diligently ritudy
them, and refuse to examine any refutations
of them; and thus he will by
and by convince himself that the war
is just, and will thank God for the
better sleep he enjoys after this process
of grotesque self-deception.?

"AND SUDDEN DEATH"
A trooper described such uii accldent
ftvt> cars in out).. ugis*, seven
killed on the spot, tfc'o dead on (ho
way to the hospital, two more dead in
the long run. lie remembered it far
more vividly thun he wanted to?the
quick way the doctor turned away
from a dead man to check up on a
woman with a broken back; the three
bodies out of one cur so soaked with
oil from the crunkcaae that they looked
like wet brown clears and not
human ut all; a man, walking? around
and babbling to himself, oblivious of
the dead and dying, even oblivious
of the dagger like sliver of steel that
stuck out of his streaming wrist; a
pretty girl with Iter forehead laid open,
trying hopelessly to crawl out of
a ditch in sfrfte or her smashed hip
A first-class massacre of that sort is
only a question of scale and numbers
-seven corpses are 110 deader than
one. Each shuttered man, woman or
child who went to make up the 3tJ,U0U
corpses chalked up last year had to
die a personal doath.
A car careening and rolling down
a bank, battering and smashing Its
occupants every inch or the way. can
wrap itself so thoroughly around a
tree that front and rear bumpers interlock,
requiring an acetylene torch
to cut them upart. In a recent case
of that sort they found the old lady,
who had been sitting in back, lying
across the lap of her daughter, why
was in front, each soaked In her own
and the other's blood indistlngulshably,
each so shattered and broken
that there was no point whatever in
an autopsy to determine whether it
wuh broken neck or ruptured heart
that caused death.
Overturning cars specialize In certain
injuries. Cracked pelvis, for instance,
guaranteeing agonizing months
in bed, motionless, perhaps crippled
for life broken spine resulting from
sheer sfdewise twist?the minor details
of smushed knees and splinteied
shoulder blades caused by crashing
Into the side of the car as she goes
over with J,he swirl of an Insane roller
coaster?and the lethal consequences
of broken ribs, which puncture
hearts and lungs with their raw
ends. The consequent Internal hemorrhage
is no less dangerous because it
is the pleural instead of the abdominal
cavity that Is lining with blood.
Flying glass?safety glass is by 110
means universal yet?contributes
much more than its share to the spectacular
sid? of accidents. It doesn't
merely cut?the fragments are driven
in as if a cannon loaded with broken
bottles had been fired in your face,
and a sliver in the eye. traveling with
force, means certain blindness. A leg
or arm stuck through the winshield
will cut clean to the bone through
vein, artery and muscle like a piece
of beef under the butcher's knife, and
it takes little time to lose a fatal
amount of blood under such circumstances.
Even safety glass may not
be wholly safe when the car crashes
something at high speed. You hear
picturesque tales of how a flying pitman
body will make a neat hole in
the stuff with its head?the shoulders
stick?the glass holds?and the raw,
keen edge of the hole decapitates the
body as neatly as a guillotine.
Or, to continue with the decapitation
inotif, going off the road into a
post-and-rail fence can put you beyond
worrying about other injuries
immediately when a rail comes
through the windshield and tears off
your head with its splintery end?
not as neat a job, but thoroughly efficient.
Bodies are often found with
their shoes off and their feet all broken
out of shape. The shoes are back
011 the lloor of the car, empty and
with their laces still neatly tied. That
is the kind of impact produced by
modern speeds.
But all that is routine in every
American community. To be remembered
individually by doctors and policeman,
you have to do something
as grotesque as the lady who burst
the windshield with her head, splashing
splinters all over- the other occupants
of the car, and then, as the car
rolled over, rolled with it down the
edge of the windshield frame and cut
her throat from ear to ear. Or park
on the pavement too near a curve at
night and stand in front, of the tail
light as you take off the spare tire?
which will Immortalize you in somebody's
memory as the fellow who was
mashed three feet broad and two
inches thick by the impact of a heavy
duty truck against the rear of his
own car. Or be as original as the
pair of youths who were thrown out
of an open ..roadster .litis spring?
thrown clear?but each broke a windshield
post with his head in passing
and the whole top of each skull, down
to the eyebrows, was missing. Or snap
off a nine-inch tree and get yourself
Impaled by a ragged branch.
None of all that is scare-fiction; It
is Just the horrible raw material of
the year's statistics as seen in the
ordinary course of duty by policemen
and doctors, picked at random. The
surprising thing is that there is so
little dissimilarity in the stories they
iell. r

Horn's the way It works:
A stranger (lushes Into u hotel, asks
the clork if u Mr. So ami So has registered,
is informed he Isn't and then
announces that the So and So family
has boon in u serious accident at some
other city und to Inform the hus6und
und father, please on his arrival.
The stranger loaves and later Mr.
So and So appears In person only to
he told the bad news.
He is desolated and unfortunately
out of funds so he must get a check
cashed to hurry to his family.
Sympathy gelsv the chuck cashed?
but it turns out to be no good.
lug pain throughout your body is accounted
for by learning that you have
both collarbones smashed, both shoulder
blades splintered, your right arm
broken in three places and three ribs
crucked, withevery chance of bad internal
ruptures. But the pain can't
distruct you, us the shock begins to
weur off, from realizing that you arc
probably on your way out. Y6u can't
forget thut, not oven when they shift
you from the ground to the stretcher
and your broken ribs bite into your
lu^igs and the sharp ends of your collarbones
slide over to stab deep Into
each side of your screaming throat.
When you've stopped screaming, it all
comes buck--you're dying and you
hate yourself for it. That isn't fiction
either it's what it tactually feels
like to be one of that 36,000.
And every time you pass on a blind
curve, every time you hit It up on a
slippery road, every time you step on
It harder than your reflexes will safely
take, every time you drive with
your reactions slowed down by a
drink or two, every time you follow
the man ahead too closely, you're
gambling a few seconds against this
kind of blood and agony and sudden
death.
Take a look at yourself as the man
In- the white jacket shakes his head
over you, tells the boys with the
stretcher not to bother and turns
away to somebody else who isn't quite
dead yet. And then take it easy.

On October 31 of lost year, Henry Ford
announced his intention to build a million
Ford V-8s in 1935. We are pleased to report
that this goal was reached in exactly
ten months instead of a full year.
One million cars and trucks is^m impressive
total. But figures by themselves
mean nothing. It is what they represent
that counts. Selling a V-8 at a low price
has brought a new kind of automobile
within reach of the people. Producing it
has provided steady work for hundreds
of thousands of men in the Ford plants, in
associated industries and on the farm.
These million Ford V-8 cars and trucks
have helped to make things better all
around. In the first ten months of 1935 the
Ford Motor Company paid out. in the
United States alone. $140,119,326.00 in
wages and $523,111,389.00 for materials.
