8peed-^the great killer^
During recent years a number of
ntaloH have adopted the "busic rulo"
speed law -a measure whereby no llx
d maximum higltwuy speed la prescribed,
but drivers are required to
operate tlielr vehicles with due cure
Today In many of tbo?e stales motor
vehicle officials are comiiiK to the
view that the liable rule Jihh failed,
and that a fixed speed law, rlKidly enforced,
Is necessary to the prevention
of accidents. The national oiKunl/.a
lion which studied highway leglslu
lion and first advocated the basic
rulo, has now changed Its position,
and urges lixed speed limits.
So the motorist lias failed in his
responsibility under a law which gave
the individual wide leeway In his
driving habits. Speed is Hllll the great
highway killer, breeding more violent
deaths thun any other drhlng error.
It Is a harsh commentary on drivers
tiiat the hulk of fatal automobile accidents
occur on first cluss, straight
highways, under good weather and visibility
conditions, and Involve curs In
passable mechanical condition. Speed
?the insane Instinct to "open her up"
?hi the answer.
It Is apparent^ that the automobile
death and injury rate will continue to
climb until all states cooperate to
modernize their it attic codes in the
light of modern conditions. Appeals
to the motorist's Instincts of self-pres
Tvutlon and public responsibility,
have produced some results ? but
much more must bo done. Speeds
must be reduced. And the offending
driver must be punished under laws
enforced without fear or favoritism.

1937, and of $439 39 in the nation's
gross public debt Since these figures
were released a few weeks ago.
the national debt has further increased
bv multiplied millions, which
means that theos per capita figures
have mounted still higher with not
the slightest indication of a budgetbalancing.
On December 31, 1930, your share
as an individual in the national debt
was $129.66, The Hoover and Roosevelt
administrations which huvo followed
since then have increased it to
$281.63.
For the prhI seven years, the fedoral
government has spent two dollars
for every one It has taken In.
Treasury figures show federal receipts
during this period to he $23,602,000,O00
'against expenditures of $45,854,000,eon.
And while we are being told
from Washington that the national
income lia.s inct'i-asi d. w hit h statement
is true, the fact remains that
under (lie wild spending i :. we ate
witnessing, government sp--nding in
the past four yeats has proceeded at;
sndi a pace that our tutal national
debt today has e\? ceded the $Jti,nOO,000.0'tt)
mark, if \o? have the slightest
conception of what such stagger
tug figures mean.
Will such wasteful practices ever

carolina poles make rural
electrification POS8IBLE
Light and power for the South Carolina
farmer is made available to him
by reason of the long, clean, tall pine
trees which grow In his wood lot or
ia the forests of his neighbors advisee
State Forester H. A. Smith.
There is no economical or safe substitute
for the wooden power pole.
Without this inexpensive support for
the distribution lines to the farm
home, shop and barn, rural electrltlcation
would not be feasible for any
except a limited number of fortunate
farmers living near sources of power
supply, near main lines or in thickly
populated neighborhoods. The use
of other matorlals for poles would
place the per mile construction cost
too high for most rural users.
Tho southern pine pole la pressure
treated with creosote to make it last
for a long term of years. It Is easily
transported and orected. therefore
the installation cost Is low and the
maintenance costs are reasonable.
This enables rural electrification to
? be curried on In thinly populated ?ec*
Hons where the average power con'
ft\iinptloii per farm In often less thuu
' five dollurs per month and In dome
cases averages as low as forty dol1
Iiii'h per year. In iome atatea terrltorlea
ure served with only four cub
turners to I handle.
Wood la u good inaulator when <lry,
therefore power leukuge la low from
wood polea. In addition electrical
workers and power companlea find
that wood polea provide u Kreator factor
of safety for their workmen than
poles composed of other materials.
Thia la particularly ti'ue when the
workmen qre required to wear rubber
lined gloves, and to place rubber
ahielda called "line hose" over high
tenalon wires, hoods of rubber over
Inaulatora and aheetu of rubber over
other conductors and equipment carrying
high voltage current on the polea
where they are working.
Tin- forward looking farmer who
owns woodland should reffuln from
lining tali, clean, straight pine trees
for fuel, pulpwood or amall aaw logs.
Ho should wave them for .polea. piling
and high grade saw timber, thereby
putting them to their highest use, securing
the highest cash returns from
their sale and assisting in making rural
electrification economically feasible
for himself as well as farmers
throughout the entire country. Southern
pine poles help supply the needs
of other sections of the country which
do not possess an abundance of suitaide
Inexpensive pole material, over
two million of them were put Into use
during 19110 and the 19117 consumption
will run very high.
TYPICAL MISREPRESENTATIONS
A group of mill employees at
Clarkstlale, (la., beat a C. I. O. organizer
when he refused to leave that
section.
The employees felt that the paid i
organizer was working for a purpose
which meant strikes and Idleness and
loss of wages for them and when he
refused to leave, they did what they
considered to he the best thing toj
protect their own Interests, that Is. |
they chased the organizer and beat
hitn severely.
In accordance with their policy, the
I O. immediately reported to their j
friends, the National Labor Relations1
Hoard, that they had been beaten by
men representing the in III and that j
I two of the offenders had been identified
as "deputies" of the mill.
The chief of police of Clarksdale
immediately declared that he was the
ouly police officer located in that village
and that neither lie nor the mill
had any deputies.
It is the usual case of misrepresentation,
upon the part of the C. I. O.,
hut it would not surprise us if the
National Labor Relations Hoard were
to hold that those who did the beating
were deputy police and that they
were paid by the mill.
Otherwise it would simply be the
i case of u group of American citizens
protecting their own Interests by
chasing and beating a person who
sought to do them harm and the National
Labor Relations Board could
do nothing about it.
It will not be lopg before an effort,
will be made to put through Congress j
a hill which will ll\ a severe penalty
for an>oiie who 'dares to strike or
to even speak harshly to any union j
otua ti i zer.

PREDICT STRATO FLIGHTS
WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR
I
Lynn, Mass.?Passenger flying within
a year or two from coast to coast
and across the Atlantic In twelve
hours or loss, will take place at a
height of six miles.
Storms are practically unknown and
the sun shines 90 per cent of the |
time up there.
This is the goal of experiments In
the stratosphere which have been carried
on thia year by the Army Air
Corps in California, It was learned
here recently from General Electric
aeronautical engineers.
Latbst of the "flying laboratories"
used in these tests, and first equipped
with an air tight pressure-sealed supercharged
cabin is a n?6khead Electra,
equipped with two Pratt and
Whitney Wasp engines, each capable
of 550 horsepower at 25,000 feet with
their Bpeclal turbine super-chargers.
This plane, which has been undergoing
tests for some time, will be
flown this week from Burbank, Cal.,
to Dayton, where It will be turned
over to army engineers at Wright
Field.

stimulating address on the club service
aspects of Rotary. As between
the two schools of thought as to the
community service of Rotary-?whether
a club should initiate good works
or whether It should aid and stimulate
Kotarianjj to aid other civic or"animations
in doing their various!
good works?Dr. Oreen favored the
latter. He gave a number of inspiring
examples of how the spirit of Rotary
has in the recent past become a
world force, aiding in healing international

A BRITTLE FAMILY
Strange Case of Father and Children
Whose Bones Break Easily
Seven-year-old Effle May Poole of
Herndon. Va., was a charity patient
in Georgetown University Hospital at
Washington. D. C., last week. Effle
from a chair, had broken both legs
?"d a wrist. Because it, was her
fourth visit to the hospital, physicians
had no difficulty in diagnosing
trouble as osteogenesis imperfecta-a
rare disease which prevents
normal building of bone tissue. Knowing
that the slightest unusual pressure
might break another of her
bones, internes handled her gently.
Washington newspapers dropped a
bint of things to come with the story
'bat Effle May's 14-months-old broker
had recently been brought to the
hospital. The fractured hip for which
be was treated had been caused by
nothing more than being accidentally
irushed against a wall while in the
arms of his sister.
further inquiry revealed that the
.'ather of these two remarkable children
was Harvey Poole, a highway
laborer. He was hampered in his I
work in that he himself broke at least
one bone every year. Added to this
trouble with his own condition was
worry over the fact that four of his
brood of twelve youngsters showed a
distressing tendency to break their1
boneB in the slightest accidents
Ten-year-old Ruth had suffered 17
fractures of her legs. One of her
brdthers had suffered more than 20
breaks of all kinds. Coming down

Plagued the house of Poole for at
least three generations and was likely
to plague it for many generations

Poole children was the fact that they
might eventually ?gr0w out" of the
disease when they got older and their
bones got tougher, as two of their
biothers and sisters had already done.

HIGH-PRODUClNG~Hi7Ts

Clemson, Aug. 23,-An average egg
production of 11.3 per hen for the
month and a labor income of 11 4
cents per hen was shown in recent
reports from 78 farms with demonstration
flocks totaling 9.580 hens.
The results show that the high-pro^
ucing hens make money for their
owners, says P. H. Gooding, extension
poultryman.
The hens ate 26 cents worth of feed
each, and returned a total Income of
? ? cents, including sales of eggs
nd poultry, leaving an Income above
feed cost Of 14.9 cents per bird for
Ihe month. The average monthly

on equipment, and all other
costs except feed. Is approximately 3 5
