l ( 000,000th Traffic Death
Will Occur During December
About the middle of December the
1,000,000th traffic death will occur
in the United States.
It is shocking to realize that since
the turn of the century, since the
first automobile chugged and hissed
to the derision and excitement of a
horse-drawn era, the lives of almost
1,000,000 men, women and children
have been squandered in one of the
most senseless and tragic wastes of
modern times.

eat; the hardy veteran of those
really tough football sequences was
booked to appear on TV that night
and was really scared. Donna
wasn’t afraid of anything except
that her young family might need
her before she gets home; her son’s
just a year old.
Donna Corcoran will become
Metro’s new Margaret O’Brien, if
the executives’ wishes come true.
The nine-year-old has appeared in
two - pictures, “Angels in the Out
field” and “Young Man in a Hurry”
and will star in her third.
Maureen O’Hara must like
costume pictures, she makes so
many of them. Her latest as

this great accident death rate. While
most states have a statute requiring
examination for driver’s license,
only a few administer the law
strictly enough to give it meaning.
Thousands of drivers lack the skills,
physical faculties and mental at
titudes for safe driving. Re-exami-
nation of older drivers or those who
have been involved in accidents or
violations is virtually nonexistent.
Only 13 states permit tests of
blood alcohol to be used in court
against the most reprehensible
motoring miscreant — the drinking
driver.
Engineering and road building
have fallen far behind the demands
of the motor age. Lack of funds is
the common excuse.
Automatic revocation of a driv
er’s license for serious misconduct
is invoked all too seldom. Jail sen
tences are few. The system of fines
and penalties throughout the nation
is a hodgepodge of improvisation,
the temper of the court, and the
stature and legal counsel of the de
fendant.
These are but a few of the more
obvious holes in the dike of traffic
safety. They can be plugged, but
only through th& aroused interest
and insistent support of people who
care.
Safety authorities report the most
shocking thing about the accident
toll is the inescapable fact that few
Americahs feel any real personal
concern. As their fellows perish
about them, they look on with a de
tachment and complacency that is
difficult to understand and even
more difficult to alter.
There rests the keystone of the
entire traffic safety structure—per
sonal concern. The duty of every
responsible citizen is to strive for
traffic safety as a voter, as a volun
teer worker in whatever capacity
his interests and abilities direct, and
as a driver and pedestrian. Even
the relatively small percentage of
accidents caused by mechanical fail
ure of motor vehicles could be re
duced if owners would make sure
their cars are in safe condition.
The question remains: what will
it take to spur the nation into ac
tion? Will it be 1,000,000 deaths?

JL “Trist! Over here!”
Tristam Olds set the rake against
the bam and ran over the knoll to
the orchard.
Howie was bun
dled against a
tree, trussed wrist
and ankle, very
pale.
“Goodnesh, Boss-sh!” whooshed
from Trist’s dry, thin lips as he
undid the bonds.
“There, that’s good enough. I’ll
finish by myself. Get to the barn
fast. It may be ablaze by now.”
Trist, amazement on his whisker
framed face, jounced his aging
bones and came up the incline
breathing hard.
Flame licked over the haymow.
He swept up two pails and raced
down to the pump. Howie came run
ning too.
They scampered around for half
an hour. At last the smoke began to
trail away.
“That’s for now,” said Howie,
“but we’ll have to keep a sharp
lookout.”
When Sheriff Gunfrey arrived,
Howie had changed clothes and was
rocking on the porch.
“What’s all this about bumin’
barns down? Hasn’t been anything
like this since I copped the elec
tion.”
“They tried it right enough,” said
Howie. “Know of any strangers in
town?”
“Nope,” said Gunfrey.
“Well, little matter. They’re
from somewheres round here.
But I guess either Shell or Long
is the guilty party—either one or
both.”
Gunfrey fired the crusty cake in
his pipe and puffed. “How y^u fig

Socialism in England Is Popular With Laborers
By Wright A. Patterson
T HE DEFINITELY ANNOUNCED
purpose of the English Labor
party is to equalize the wealth and
the income of the English people.
That is a vote-catching program,
especially in England, and it is a
program which the party can carry
out. It can and is being done
through taxes. On an income, which
in America would be considered of
a reasonable amount, the govern
ment is taking ninety five cents jout
of each dollar. Through taxes, it is
easy to pull down the higher in
comes, and through “doles” it is
easy to increase the lower ones.
But the problem that must be
faced is where the “something
for nothing” that represent
doles is to come from when the
wealth of the nation has been
taxed to extinction.
Socialized medicine guarantees
every one in • the British islands
a doctor when needed, a place in a
hospital 'when there is a vacancy,
which means waiting as much as
two years regardless of the urgency
of the need.
It means cheap doctor bills, but it
is killing the medical profession in
England. The doctor is permitted to
have as many as 4,000 patients, for
which the government will pay him
$2.10 per year per patient, then
promptly tax that doctor some 50 per
cent on his $8,000 income. With what
is left he must provide all the ex
penses of medical practice.
The result is that there is no In
ducement for the new medical grad
uate to hang out his shingle in Brit
ain. He goes to the dominions—to
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa. The result will be
that in time there will be no doc
tors to administer to the poor, at
any price or on any condition.
On top of the income tax that
runs to as high as 95 per cent,
there is a purchase tax—our
sales tax—which the merchants
collect on every item you buy,
other than the dire necessities
of living, and that purchase tax
ranges from 25 per cent on the
amount of the purchase to as
high as 150 percent of the total,
on such automobiles as can be
purchased, which is practically
none of English make. They are
produced for export only, as is
true of most other of the better
grade English productions.
And along with these conditions
there is the rationing. Each in
dividual can have two strips of
bacon per week, two eggs, and what
ever amount of meat of any kind he
can buy for ten cents, with meat
selling at prices as high, or higher,
than we are paying in this country.
Such are but a few examples of
English rationing.
Despite it all, English socialism
is not too unpopular with the En
glish workers. They are receiving
more wages than they did, though
they are paying far more taxes,
far more living expenses, and liv
ing far less better.
Believing the program to be a
vote-catcher, the Conservatives, like
the Republicans in this country, as
applied to the New Deal and Fair
Deal programs, are inclined to ap
prove it all, only claiming they
could do a better job.
The Conservatives are against
the Labor Party, but are for the
Labor Party program, and they will
not get any farther than the Re
publicans will get on the same basis
in this country.
The Fair Deal does not offer
their program as socialistic. It is
offered as welfare state, or "plan
ned economy,” but the purpose is
the same, that of equalizing the in
comes of the American people.
Should the Fair Deal continue in
office, it will succeed in putting
over its nefarious schemes. When
they do, there will be nothing left
for America but bankruptcy; there
will be nothing left with which to
provide the “something” for those
who are clamoring for “some
thing for nothing” so they qnay
continue to live without effort on
their part.
When they understand what is
being offered them such conditions
will not be favored by a majority
of the American people. Will the
Republicans tell us what the party
proposes as its program, or must
we continue on the socialistic
trail?

He led a coil of black wire

“In the last couple weeks they

■‘No.’ I got no yen to sell this place.”
“Did they make any threats?”

H‘
OWIE and Trist alternated on
lookout. Chores were left un
done. Then, during the night before
Howie told Trist to discontinue the
watches, he slipped out to the barn
and emerged with a shovel and
trowel. He worked and as light gray
rose over the horizon, he laid out
the last strips of straw and grass,
returned the tools to the barn and
came back.
He led a coil of black wire through
deep grass until he reached the
pine tree. He wdund the wire
around and attached the house bell
he had in his back pocket.
The next morning he said to Trist,
“No use to keep up the watches.
They’re not likely to com^ back.”
Trist' grunted. “Sure. Might’sh
well get back to work.’’
The unexpected shrill of the
house jell came that night.
Howie rushed out without don
ning trousers, Trist behind him
crying, “What’s that bell for!”
But Howie did not answer.
He swept the pit with a powerful
flash, picking up their figures. One’s
bandanna slipped as he tried to es
cape the slippery pit and he re cog
nized Jerry, Trist’s youngest son
The boy’s eyes, large with fright,
lit on Trist and he cried out, “Dad!”
Howie’s flash went out then. He
heard them stumbling away.
The telephone rang before Howie
could make his call. It was Gunfrey.
“Which one of ’em was it bought
out Trist’s boys tq fire my bam,
Gunfrey?”
Gunfrey said, “You were right,
Howie. I didn’t know—I mean about
Trist.”
“More the boys. They wanted the
money bad. Trist couldn’t do noth
ing with ’em. Afraid they’d get
caught so he kept his mouth shut.”
“Howie, I broke Long down. He
tried to blame Sholl, but I got him
to admit something like what he
was up to.”
"I was thinkin’ I’d hate to pros
ecute anyone seein’s no harm
done. . . .”
“I don’t want you to. Sheriff,

“Yeh, I thought about that.” Gun
frey laughed his cackle. “Long
won’t be around after tomorrow.

I ^ Taking Dictation
While Asleep .
By Lawrence Gould
Answer: Yes. Strange as it seems,
I have seen it done—unless the
person involved was untruthful,
which I do not believe. I once had
a secretary tell me, “I have been
fast sleep for the past fifteen min
utes,” yet she had gone right on
taking notes which proved both cor
rect and intelligible though she had
no idea what was in them. It was a
case of the dissociation of part of
the mind from consciousness, rough
ly like sleepwalking or the ability
of very weary soldiers to sleep on
the march. Such phenomena help us
to realize how active one part of
the mind—the unconscious—may be
without our knowing anything about
• M. 0
Answer: Not properly speaking.
The condition which the phrase
originally stood for was what psy
chiatrists now call neurasthenia—an
illness in which unconscious mental
conflict results in such symptoms as
extreme physical weakness, partial
or complete paralysis, headache,
inability to concentrate, etc. The
sufferer is unable to wock or to
maintain ordinary social contacts
but his reason and intelligence are
not affected. But of late the practice
has grown up of calling an attack
of actual “insanity” (psychosis) a
“nervous breakdown” to protect the
patient’s reputation and his family’s
feelings.
Are child psychiatrists
prejudiced?
Answer: They may be, writes Dr.
S. A. Szurek in the Journal of Pedi
atrics. While neurotic “problem
children” can be helped by individ
ual ^treatment, much better results
can always be achieved by working
with the parents at the same time,
since the problems of both involve
their relations with each other. An
obstacle to this method may be the
fact that the therapist has not had
enough experience in treeating
adults and is apt to “take sides”
with the child to an extent that
makes him unfair to the parents.
It’s no more a mother's fault if she
is neurotic than it is her child’s
fault if she passes on her illness to
him.

Blood Pressure Changes During Day
By Dr. James W. Barton
I T IS ONLY NATURAL for men
and women to be interested in
their blood pressure, as they know
that high blood pressure is present
with heart strokes (coronary throm
bosis) and with brain strokes apo
plexy). However, they should not
ask their physician to take their
blood pressure every time they con
sult him.
The physician, knowing that the
patient is greatly interested in and
worried about blood pressure, and
knowing that the blood, pressure
changes, going up and down several
times a day, may te^t it when it is up.
Being honest, the doctor must tell the
patient the truth, and he. goes away
upset. If the physician refuses to test
the blood pressure, the patient thinks
it must be high and worries about it.
Just as the temperature may vary
two degrees or so during the 24
hours, being about 9? in the morn
ing before breakfast and possibly
99 at 4 p.m. or 8 p.m., so does the
blood pressure. It is lowest in the
morning and highest after the eve
ning meal.
Further, any excitement or
emotional disturbance can send
the blood pressure np 20 points.
Life insurance examiners may
have an applicant come several
times till he gets “used to” be
ing tested, and so his true, blood
pressure is finally found.
Blood pressure is not stable. In
fact, it is as changeable as the
weather. Everything we do or think,
every excitement or irritation from
the outside wcfrld is immediately
transmitted through our nervous
system to the adrenal gland which
produces adrenalin and which is
able to raise the blood pressure by
contracting (tightening) the blood
vessels.
Because excitement raises the
pressure temporarily in this way. It
is not called organic high blood
pressure and may be considered
harmless.
