If the highways had benn built only 16 feet wide, noboddy but the trucks could use them a-tall, but as they are fairly wide, a pleasure car has one chance out of ten not to get rammed off the road. the truck drivers always feel verry comfortable, they enjoy fusing all of tha road and pushing the little feller into the bushes.

Summerall, former Chief of Staff of the I'. 8. Army declared tonight "Wo should abandon the Mouroe Doc trlue or prepare to defend ll" with i unned forces strong enough "to deter aggressors from'threatening the Weaj torn Hemisphere." "Let us no longer delude ourselves wlt^h the fetish that the oceans pro* I tect us," he sutd in an address prepared for delivery before the Union ! league club. "Unless we control thoiu, they j make us more vulnurable. Aggrea1 sor nations are driven to conquest by an overproduction of manpower for their resources. The Americans must inevitably become their prey. "We should abandon the Monroe Doctrine or prepare to defend 11. j Otherwise, we may at any time find ourselves in a losing war." General Summerall, now Presideut of The Citadel Military College, advocated a superior army and navy, ' military training for youth, and peaceI time establishment In executive departments of the Government of ! boards, agencies and commissions needed durtng a war. He1 also demanded that aliens 'Tormenting revolution and trying to destroy our institutions and the native born traitors who aid and abet them be treated as publfc enemies." The retired officer coupled a plea for strict neutrality toward current belligerents with a denunciation of the Allies' attitude toward American troops who participated In the World War. He asserted that the Allies were "exhausted" in 1917 and their leaders "feared a debacle." Then, he added, the United States contingents swung into action at Cantlgny and Solssons and drove forward In the great MouseArgonne offensive. The result, General Summerall recalled, "was that the Allies were ovehwhelmlngly victorious instead of being disastrously defeated and no doubt, permanently subjugated." "In return," he charged, "we have received little from them but criticism, abuse, contempt and repudiation." He contended that French Premier Clemenceau and Marshal Foch, of France were among those who belittled the achievements of the American soldiers and added: "There should be no more potent antitdote for propaganda, hysteria and international emotionalism than a perusal of books by British and French military and political leaders and the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury about the war debts. "Let the American people resolve never again to engage in wars not made upon them. There can be no greater fallacy than to say we would save others from defeat. Their wars are of their own making and they need not be defeated. We cannot settle their quarrels nor maintain the balance of power in Europe. America must not bleed to death over there." The diplomatic negotiations with Norway in regard to the freeing of the S. S. City of Flint, were handled by America's only woman envoy, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, and the state department at Washington Is reported as being higly pleased with her handling of the case. In the first half of 1938, the U. S. public health service said .recently that the maternal mortality rate in the United States reached a new low of only four mothers lost for every 1,000 children born alive. A decrease of twenty-three per cent was shown since 1937. Bright Pupils ! Have the Luek j Famous Educator Declares They Are Charming And Healthy. PITTSBURGH.?-The bright children, it seems, hove all the luck. Dr. Leta S. Hollingsworth, New York city educator and co-founder q/ the Speyer School for Advanced Children, here to shatter popular misconceptions about brains, insists the chances are an intelligent child is also above average in almost ev> ery other respect, Beauty and brains, Dr. Rollingsworth said, go hand in hand. And so do brains and good health, charm, long life and a sunny disposition. As one of the leaders at the Speyer school, Dr. Hollingsworth tested many young students to find whether they were bright enough to deserve a place in the advanced school. "And yet, wheg some of the mothers were told their youngsters had been selected for fhe school," the educator said, "they began to sob. "You see, they had heard, I guess, that, bright children don't live long or perhaps that brilliant children get brain fever." Refutes Popular Theories. Those are just some more of the superstitions about intelligent children that Dr. Hollingsworth's figures refute. She can prove that youngsters with high I. Q.'s are taller and heavier for their ages, usually, than children with less mental capacity. - She believes all the superstitions about bright youngsters "coming to bad ends" are merely examples of "subconscious Jealousy." "People don't like to admit that perhaps someone else's child can have everything?intelligence, health and charm," she said. Her present task is that of changing school curricula so that the more intelligent youngsters are not stunted mentally by lack of urging or by downright suppression. For instance, she pointed out, one out of every 100 children can fulfill the requirements of the public elementary schools in approximately one-half the time allotted. This means the brighter youngsters spend half their school days doing nothing. Cites Girl's Case. "There was a seven-year-old g' i named Jean who finished her lessons in a third of the time the other children required," Dr. Hollingswortjj said. "The teacher didn't know what to do with her. Finally she gave the child a notebook and told her to start with the number 'one' and write down as many numbers as she could. The child toiled on until her tiny hands became stiff and cramped. Finally she burst into tears and cried, 'I can't stand the figures, I can't stand them.' " The weeping child was taken to the principal and then to Dr. Hollingsworth. An examination showed she had a mentality of a 14-yearold youngster. Today she is one of the best pupils in the iSpeyer school. She is onia of the children who has discovered errors in encyclopedias, who can use reference books in the New York Central library like an adult, and give a report on a serious historical biography. "T still have that notebook, filled with those figures," Dr. Hollings- ' worth said. "It's certainly a commentary on education." Battleground of 1675 to Oj^en Up in Rhode Island SOUTH KINGSTON, R. I._The site of the Great Swamp fight, one of the bloodiest battles in New England history, soon will be accessible to sightseers. In 1675 a band of colonists attacked. and wiped out an encampment of Narragansett Indians on a small island in the swamp. A simple monument marked the battle scene, but it could be reached only by a private path. Now CCC workers, under supervision of the national park service, are building a road and foot trail] linking the battlefield with the main highway. The road will end at a parking space a half-mile from the battleground, and from there visitors will have to travel the remaining distance over an eight-foot trail so "the historical character of the area may not be modified by the presence of automobiles."
