THURSDAY. MARCH By Albert T. Reid T*. We see by the papers that Arthur M. Hyde, former Governor of Mis souri, will be secietary of agricul ture in) the Hoover cabinet. Here’s hoping that, while he may be “Mr. Hyde” to others, he will be “Dr. Jekyl” to the farmers. When a Woman Drives. Dr. Viteles of the University of Pennsylvania has made a very inter esting survey of automobile records. He reports that women drivers be- comt* involved in accidents three times as often as men. At first bluih this seems to be rather an indictment of the women who drive. But let us examine the fact further. Most of the.accidents in which women are involved are minor ones. They are able to act intuitively and quickly in an emergency, and so there is much less damage than results from accidents in which men are involved. In addition, most of the accidents that happen to women drivers are the result of their carefulness. They drive slowly, and are struck far more frequently than they strike other cars, bearing the brunt of the reckless ness of others. , However, it is a common failing of the woman driver to be inclined to choose the center of the road, even when she is going slow. Those that pity themselves because their health is “not quite what it ought to be” may consider Baron von Huene- feld, who died on the operating table, undergoing his thirteenth operation for an incurable disease of the stomach that had afflicted him .for years. Suffering hopelessly, knowing that he could not live long and must en dure many operations, von Huenefeld planned and carried out the German- Irish flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Such courage and Will power should make others ashamed to complain. How South Carolina Saves Millions. It is estimated that the total assets of Building and Loan Associations in South Carolina now exceed thirty mil lion dollars. Within recent years they have been responsible for the saving of more than a hundred million dol lars. Of this amount, of course the greater portion was saved for the pur pose of erecting or purchasing a home. In its erection the funds saved were spent for South Carolina mater ials and labor, and the homes thu? built added much to the taxable value of the property of the State. In addi tion to the acquiring of a home, how ever, the savings of Building and Loan Associations were amassed for various other purposes. Millions of funds thus saved were invested in doctor’s bills, hospital expanses, education, trousseaux, hope chests, wedding rings, honeymoons, automobiles, re tirement of accumulated debts, and for various and sundry major neces sities of life. ,The basic principle of Building and Loan is thrift. These Associations teach our boys and girls to become better citizens and to learn early, and persistently continue to practice thrift in every walk of life. Building and Loan Associations in South Carolina .fortunately are home rais&u, home financed, home managed, and are gnat mutual community builders; profiting only the share holders, the communities and the State at large; with no remuneration for professional developers. ■■ ■ —tf • A Hilda Happenings.

IT A BUSINESS BUILDER J Picrpont Morgan gives New York* Hospital two buildings worth $2,000,000 Giving seems to be in herited, as illustrated also in the case of the Rockefellers. Mr Morgan’s father gave to New York one of its finest institutions, a great lymg-in hospital. Serious noting in India is caused by a report that Mohammedans kid napped Hindu children and sacrificed them in connection with the construc tion of a new bridge., y The report probably is not true Once important works were usually accompanied by human sacrifices. Somebody was killed and buried under the corner of a new building. A child or adult was often killed and buried in a shallow hole in a field newly planted. Knowing nothing about fer tilizers they observed with “religious awe" that the grass grew greener where the corpse was buried. Madame Bella Pollack died in Rumania, aged 118. leaving twenty- one children, the oldest eighty-five, and a fiance who would have been her third husband Madame Pollack ate two and one-half pounds of black bread and a pound of sugar every day. and was never ill until her last illness. Men often live long when the doctor tells them that they will soon die. A warning makes them careful. James Melrose, twice Lord Mayor of York, England, is dead, aged one hundred. Insurance company refused him as a bad risk seventy years ago. The famous Luigi Cornaro became interested in his health when doctors tolcf him at torty that he muM so«m die He ate only twelve ounces of solid food, drank fifteen ounces of red wine daily, died at one hundred and four Lindbergh, on his way from Miami to Panama, "hopped off” on his twenty-seventh birthday Only twenty-seven, and his name i$ known wherever men are civilized. Only twenty-seven, and already he has conquered the ocean, and, what is ruorCf important, the respect of every nun and woman. This young Americans history make? millions of others feel as Caesar did when he read the life of Alexander the Great and suddenly burst into tears, realizing that Alex ander had conquered the world when he was younger than Caesar was then. “Herbert Hoover may find import ant aviation work for Lindbergh." Nothing more probable. An engineer knows that somebody who knows how to do what you want done is valuable. Mr Hoover understands the engi neering part of Hying and all Us im portance. from mail carrying to na tional defense. Colonel Lindbergh understands the iflving part. A fine combination. ♦ ♦ ♦ Hercules Items. k Hercules, March 4.—Mrs. C. I. Hughes and son, Odelle, have returned to their home in Varnvile.
