THOUSAND PEOPLE KILLED
Between now and 1940, 190,000
people will be killed in automobile
accidents.
The total of fatalities for the en
tire decade that began with 1930
will be 315,000, and the injury rec
ord will touch 10,000,000. The fa
talities will be greater than the
total of the soldiers killed in battle
in the entire history of this coun-
try—and will surpass the battle
casualties of the A. E. F. in the
World War more than six times.
The number injured will be fifty
times the number of A. E. F. sol
diers wounded non-fatally in ac
tion. '
That is what .it is estimated will
occur if the automobile accident
record during the next six years
fellows the experience of the past
four. As a matter of fact, there
is an excellent chance that the |
number of fatalities and injuries '
will be greater still—the accident!

because of increased driving speeds.
There is one way in which this
ghastly forecast can be proven
wrong. That is by an aggressive
campaign on the part of responsi
ble motorists to modernize and
traffic laws, eliminate
cars which are defective in brakes,
lights, steering and other essential
parts, and to pass legislation v/hich
enforces adequate examination for
drivers. So long as the reckless,
the incompetent and the irrespon
sible rule the highways, as they do
now, the lives and property of all
other motorists are in constant
danger.

‘ Ford V-8 prices were not raised this year. Now
they have been lowered. The Ford V-8 was a
great value at the first of the year. It is still a
112-inch wheelbase car-—and the new low;
price makes it a greater value than ever.
The Ford V-8 offers yon the only V-8 engine
in a car selling for less than $2500. It offers

The crop situation in South Car
olina on June 1 was generally un
favorable due to cool wet weather
during the latter part of May, ac
cording to the official report.
The wheat crop is estimated at
850,000 bushels which compares
with 592,000 bushels harvested last
year and the average of 546,000
bushels for the years 1927-31.
The outlook is for 60,000 bushels
of rye for grain. This compares
with a crop of 49,000 bushels last

Ford Has Many
Exhibits At The
World’s Fair
Although getting a late start,
Ford smashed even .war time con
struction records in doing the big
gest job ever done by a single ex
hibitor for any world’s fair.
The Ford project covers eleven
acres. It employs more than seven
hundred employees. The main
building itself covers 5 acres. The
industrial hall, a single wing, is
the size of three football fields
placed together.
Exhibits totalling more than 2,-
500 tons in weight and including
more than a thousand separate
machines are now in place to tell
the story of the maunfacturing of
automobile parts from raw ma
terials to finished products.
Sixty-nine historic vehicles com
prising the Ford “Drama of Trans
portation,” tracing the develop
ment of vehicular transportation
from prehistoric times to the pres
ent, are in place.
The Ford Museum containing
priceless relics of Ford and his
lifelong friend, Edison, and show
ing the evolution of the machine
shop during the last century, Is
completed and with its ancient ma
chines humming.
The Ford Industrialized Bam
built in 1863 on Henry Ford’s fa
ther’s farm and transported board
by board and shingle by shingle
from Dearborn, stands in striking
contrast in the lee of the main
building, demonstrating Henry
Ford’s ideas on how the farmer
may improve his status by adopt
ing industrial methods.

loud speakers capable of amplily

so tremendously that it can be

A force of 700 employees have
been uniformed, trained and re
hearsed to handle 200,000 visitors
daily, to see these and other un
paralleled feats in engineering and
construction.
Such is the record accomplished
by an army of workmen, and in the
whole job at breakneck pace not
one man was badly injured and no
body was killed.
Dried Beef Real
Wife Saver In "
Summertime
Here is a word to the wives for
one grand way of making summer
meals easier—keep a supply of
dried beef on hand. It has all kinds
of possibilities for quickly prepared
dishes that the whole family will
cheer. Inez S. Willson, home econ
omist, gives her favorite dried beef
recipes with a positive guarantee
that they will please the hungriest
husband.

4 hard-cooked eggs,
2 tablespoons fat,
