IT'8 UP TO YOU
There has been a great deal of concero
over the safety of about a hundred
and fifty American citizen* in
Madrid. The fear waa felt that in
the event of a battle between rebel*
and ioyallata In the city Home of theae
Americana would be killed or Jnjurod.
It la natural and proper that the
public intereat be arouaed by auch a
aituation. But It i* rather a strange
anomaly that the public ia vitally lntereated
in the safety of a handful
of people?and pays little attention
to the maaaacre of thouaanda of cthera.
The reference ia to our automobile
death toll. It takea lea* than two
daya for auto accldeuta to account for
a greater number of Uvea than fhoae
hazarded in Madrid. Idtat year'a
death record waa around the 35,000
mark?thla year It may be even higher.
If that many people were killed
In aome cataclyam the whole world
would be aghast, and the event would
become a grltn page in hlatory. But
becauao our automobile vlctlma are
killed a few at a time throughout the
daya of the year, and In widely aeparated
areaa, the average citizen
given ulmoat no thought to the needleaa
carnage.
No problem more vitally affecta ua
all than the automobile accident problem.
And none la more completely
within the control of the people. Every
Individual can drive safely if he
only wllln It?and the force of public
opinion, unified and aggreaalve, could
make the higbwaya a very uncomfortable
place for the reck leaa. Think of
the horror with which you regard a
revolution that killa a few hundred
or a few thouaaud persona?and then
uak yourself If it lan't your duty to
help reduce our grialy accident toll.?
Industrial News Review.
TWENTY-TWO YEAR8 OLD
Tuesday. August 4, 22 years ago,
western Europe felt the flrat sliaVp
conflict of the World wur reviews, the
Associated Proas.
On August 4, 1914, marching German
troops crossed the Belgian border
and began a driving advance toward
Paris. *
Great Britain declared war agalns,t
the German Invaders after the hallH
of parliament rang with bitter debate
and a British ultimatum to Bor1
ill had been refused.
In Washington, the United 8tates
government headed by President Wil"
son proclaimed itH neutrality?a
pledge which stood for 20 months of
European strife.
The German offensive halted temporarily
before the guns of Liege fortress.
But in another direction, more
columns pushed toward France
through Alsace. Lorraine and Luxembourg.
Today, the tramp of marching men
and the roar of aircraft combine again
In what many statesmen have called a
swelling dirge for peace In Europe.
In the countries where the war was
fought, this is the 1936 picture.
Germany: Step by step the nation
is throwing off the shackles of the
Versailles treaty. As early aa 1921
ahe bucked treaty provisions and rejected
the so-called "Paris decisions"
of the allies for reparations payments.
The Nazi government came to power
in 1923. The Saar plobisclto in
January, 1935, returned that territory
to Germany.
DUCK 8EASON LIMITED
Washington. Aug. 15.?Duck Hunters
will have a 30-day season thla fall
under what the department of agriculture
announced today as "rigid
and drastic" restrictions.
The biological survey said the control
regulations approved by Secretary
Wallace and President Roosevelt
would "continue stringent restrictions
on the hunting of waterfowl in order
to cut down the annual kill."
Three zones, northern, Intermediate
and southern, were established for
tLis season, instead of the two, northern
and southern, last year.
Dats for the southern zone are:
November 26 to December 26.
Among the regulations announced
were that;
Shooting of redhead and canvas
back ducks and the Atlantic Brant is
prohibited.
lTse of baiting, live decoys, sink
boxes or batteries is prohibited.
Waterfowl and coot may be hunted
in season from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m?
standard time.

ANOTHER SENATE CANDIDATE
Tb" executive committee of the Republican
party Iii South Carolina
Wednesday nominated Joseph A. Tolbert,
of Oreenville, former United
States district attorney, to make the
race against James F. Byrnes for the
United Statea Senate. That la the
way the dispatches put It, Ignoring
the other candldatea, Meaara. Harllee
and Stoney, who have been catnpalgnIftK
aa Democrats and attacking the
New Deal.
With a new "Richmond in the Held"
asking for the vote of Democrats who
are hoatile to the Rooeevelt administration
Meaara. Stoney and Harllee
have been placed in the attitude,
whether they wish it or not, of play*
ing second Addle to Mr, Tolbert who
repreaenta the real opposition to President
Roosevelt. s?
The entrance of Mr. Tolbert into
the race In no way eudaugers the
campaign of Senator Byrnes. it will
not help or hurt the chahces of the
Messrs. Harllee or Stoney to be dominated
In the Democratic primaries.
They have none. They may contluue
thejjr attacks upon the Democratic
administration until the polls open
but political observers unite in the
opinion that theirs Is a hopeless cause
and that, together, they will hardly
put a dent in the Byrnes vote. There
are states in which these gentlemen
might have had a chance to win a
considerable vote. South Carolina Is
not one of them.?Spartanburg Her-'

TOO MANY 8LOW GROWERS
IN BE8T OF HOG FAM1LIE8
The greatest need of the hog farmer
today is better hogs, says W. A.
Craft, in charge of swine Investigations
in the United States Department
of Agriculture. By this he means bogs
more efficient In producing pork of
high quality.
Slow growth and low efficiency in
using feed are expensive and common
tarits in any breed of swine. Records
kept by the Bureau of Animal Industry
at the National Agricultural Research
Center, Beltsvllle, Md., show
that the feed needed to make 100
pounds of gain varies amoup Utters
within a breed from about 325 to more
than 500 pounds. Similarly, on Identical
rations and similar management,
the time required by pigs within a
Utter to reach a weight of 225 pounds,
varies as much as 100 days.
Although these figures represent extremes,
says Dr. Craft, they suggest
the opportunity for cutting costs with
better hogs, hogs (hat not only appear
to be good but have In addition the
ability to make high-quality pork
cheaply and quickly, tho ability to
produce large Utters, and the ability
to transmit these characteristics to
their offspring.
Students of genetics know that
the genes, the determiners of characters
and the way In which they are
combined In breeding, determine a
hog's value as a feeder and breeder.
Geneticists hope in--time to have more
knowledge about these genes and to
have tests sufficiently simple to permit
more accurate selection of animals
for breeding purposes than Is
posslblp by present practices. They
want to know whether the genes are
good or bad, dominant or recessive,
and how they will react In the feed
lot and the breeding herd.

President DeclaresAgainst
Dread War
Blnghamton, N. V., Aug. 16,?Prrsl
dent Roosevelt. after denouncing war
and pledging to use power* of hie office
to keep the nation at peace, turned
again today to the domestic problem
of .controlling ruinous flood latere.
| Ku route from Chautauqua, N. Y?.
where he eet forth last night the administration's
course on international
affaire, he passed through southern
New York counties which. It*v? seen
uncontrolled torrents strike death and
destruction.
i "I am more concerned and less
cheerful about International world
conditions than about our Immediate
domestic problems,'' Mr. Roosevelt
said at Chautauqua.
A dark, modern world faces wars
between conflicting economic and political
fanaticisms in which are Intertwined
race hatred.
I wish I could keep war from all
nations; but that is beyond my power.
I can at least make certain that no
act of the United States helps to produce
or promote war."
Mr. Roosevelt warned that "if war
should break out again on another
continent . . . thousands of Americans
seeking Immediate-riches?fools'" gold
?would attempt to break down or
evade our neutrality.
? If we face the choice of profits or
peace." he said, "the nation will answer?
must answer?we choose
peace."
"Industrial and agricultural production
for a war market may give Immense
fortunes to a few men; for the
nation as a whole It produces disaster."
He attributed the losses in severe
droughts to the cultivation of additional
prairie land by farmers in the
west who envisioned profits from the
World War.
"Today we are reaping the harvest
of those war profits in the dust storms
which have devastated those warplowed^
areas," he said.
The "Whole world knows that the
United States cherishes no predatory
ambitions. *
"We are not Isolationists, except insofar
as we seek to Isolate ourselves
completely from war. Yet we must
remember that so long as war exists
there will be some danger that even
the nation which most ardently desires
peace may be drawn Into war."
The president described the cooperation
between the United States and
othor nations of the Americas as examples
of friendship and peace.
It is our hope that knowledge of
the practical application of the good
neighbor policy in this hemisphere
will be borne home to our neighbors
across the seas," he said.
"I have Been war," the president
aaid. "I have seen war on land and
sea. I have seen blood running from
the wounded. I have seen men coughing
out their gassed lungs. I have
seen the dead in the mud. I have
seen cities destroyed.
"I have seen 200 limping, exhausted
men come out of line?the survivors
of a regiment of 1,000 that went
forward 48 hours before. I have seen
children starving. I have seen the agony
of mothers and wives.
I hate war.
"Of all the nations of the world today
we are in many ways most singularly
blessed. Our closest neighbors
are good neighbors If there are remoter
nations that wish us not good
but ill; they know that we can and
will defend ourselves and defend our
neighborhood.
We believe in democracy; we believe
in freedom; we believe in peace.
We offer to every nation of the world
the handclasp of the good neighbor.
those who wish our friendship
look us in the eye and take our hand "
Chautauqua officials estimated the
crowd at 12,000 and said it was the
largest "since Theodore Roosevelt
spoke here."

Millions Of New
- Homes Needed
Washington, Aug. 17?An A. F. of
L. estimate that 13,196,000 new homes
will be needed by 1945 was coupled
today with an opinion by Secretary
Ickes that "necessity Itself will assure
the continuation of a valid
housing program."
Ickes said he hoped that, with no
federal funds available for new low
cost housing projects, communities
would "carry the projects forward as
local enterprises."
The PWA administrator's views
were expressed In & letter to General
R. E. Wood, chairman of the executive
committee of the PWA Chicago
general advisory board on housing.
Wood had written to Ickes saying defects
in the present program were due
to centralization and lnltl&l size of
the program.
"I am fully In accord with the conclusions
you advance," Ickes wrote.
"Centralisation^ of the program obviously
was necessary at first. ... It
always has been my hope that once
a demonstration program had been
developed municipalities would carry
the work forward as local enterprises.
This has been our objective from the
beginning."
The first project completed by PWA
was Techwood Homes at Atlanta, being
occupied now, but fallqre of the
Wagner bill to pass the last congress
left the housing division with no
funds beyond requirements for its 49
other projects.
President Roosevelt spent the weekend
at his former home at Hyde Park,
N.?\Y. It was too rainy for him to go
to church, as he had planned.

Seventeen Die At
Railroad Crossing
Ix>ulsevtlle, Que., Aug. 16.?Seventeen
men, returning from a political
rally, were killed today and 16 others
seriously Injured when a fast Canadian
Pacific freight train struck their
truck.
' Four Jumped to safety as the train
plowed Into the vehicle at a level
grade creasing.
The victims were all residents of
I?ou1sev!lle and Immediate vicinity
and had attendaTa political debate
staged as part of the eampalgn of
Quebec's provincial election.
Joseph Rlchot, who owns a garage
near the crogglBg, wm the first to
reach the acene. He organised a
crew of rescue workers and aided by
the train crew and police, pulled many
bodies from the wreckage.
The injured were taken to the Three
Rivers Hospital, fifteen milesVeast of
Ix>ulsevllle.
^ Thomas Caron, coroner, began
an Immediate Investigation after establishing
a temporary morgue In
Kichot's garage.
The men were returning home from
St. Justin where L?. J. Thlsdel, liberal
member of parliament, and Paul Caron,
union n&tlonale candidate, had
debated.
i Bodies were strewn over the roadbed.
. The wreckage of the trucfc biased
as it ricocheted along the right of
way and thumped to a stop.
The truck was struck squarely. As
the locomotive crushed it as though
it were a fragle board box, the men
spilled out, some of them rolling under
the wheels of the train. Steel
shrieked against steel as the engineer
in the locomotive applied the brakes
and the train jolted to a stop.
Rescuers?the handful of persons
who witnessed the accident and members
of the train crew raced down the
right of way to pull bodies from the
wreckage of the truck and from under
the wheels of the train.
Many of the truck's occupants were
mere boys from 14 to 16 years of age.
Within an hour after the accident

Four local physicians attended the
injured as best they could.
A garage was pressed into service
as a temporary morgue and first aid
station.
^ Among the dead was Edmund
Houle, 45, driver and owner of the
truck.
James T. Williams, Greenville's oldest
former mayor, 91 years old, was
found dead in bed, after dying peacefully
in his sleep. He was the only
four term mayor of Greenville, was always
a prominent citizen, where he
lived nearly all his life, and was a
Confederate veteran, enlisting at 16
years of age. In 1876, he organized
a hardware firm, and when he retired
in 1909, he sold the business to tlCB~
clerks. He was mayor from 1898 to
1901, and during his administration
the first street paving add sewer
bnildlng was done, electric power and
waterworks arrived, and horse cars
vanished. Mr. Williams was an Episcopalian.
