No. 597, tract in Spring Mills; $5,~
Statistics compiled by the safe-
y division of the bureau of motor |
rehicles show that most automobile
wccidents happen between 4 p. m.|
nd 6 p. m., when drivers and pe-
lestrians are returning from work.
he number of accidents occurring
n the early morning when the big
jarade to work is on is small in|
omparison. Fatigue, both physical |
nd mental is given as one of the
hief causes of accidents in the eve-
ing hours.
In 1931 between 4 p. m. and 6 p.|
a., 372 fatal and (784 non-fatal ac-|
jdents were reported to the bureau,
jetween 7 a. m. and 9 a. m. 88 |
atal and 2,080 non-fatal accidents
sere reported last year.
“Driving home from work in the
vening may be relaxation for some |
f us but for the big majority it is!
n addition to the day's mental and |
hysical strain,” said Walter W. Mat- |
hews, director of safety division. |
Men and women who have worked |
ard all day are tired. Their men- |
al alertness is below par. When |
he emergency arises they are not |
aentally capable of meeting it. We
aay not like to admit it but I think |
2s true. Our statistics seem to]
jake it so.” |
Motorists should govern their
riving by their mental and physical |
ondition, Matthews asserted. They
hould drive sanely and carefully at
11 times but more so when fatigued,
e declared.

Scriptural Mention of
the Raven as Scavenger
The raven, largest of the crow fam-
fly, nearly thirty Inches In length,
carnivorous, a scavenger fond of offal,
gluttonous in habit, is often mentioned
by name in the sacred Scriptures. In
other places also where In the early
days of savage battling, reference is
made to dead bodies being given to
“the fowls of the air,” ravens, the
common attendants upon battlefields
are ne doubt referred to.
The very first mention of a raven
has connection in the mind with this |
grim habit, for when Noah opened the
window of the Ark after the flood and
let out a raven (Gen. 8:7), which
did not return, although there was
neither dry land nor tree on which to
rest, we cannot but think of the aw-
ful food it would ravin upon in the
dead bodies of beasts and human be- |
ings, drowned in the frightful over
flowing of the waters everywhere.
Solomon, whose knowledge of nat- |
ural history was deep and keen, had |
a faithful imitation of Agur, the son
of jakeb, who knew of that frightful |
habit of the raven, the picking out the
applies that habit parabolically as fol-
lows: “The eye that mocketh at his
father, and despiseth to obey his moth-
er, the ravens of the valley shall pick
it out,” (Proverbs, 30:17).

“Sane eating without overindulgence

Flaying foolish adherence to tem |
porary food fads, Dr. Solomon Strouse
used the foregoing statement as the |
theme of his article, “Building a Diet,”
in Hygela, the Health Magazine.

Bad weather prevailed when Mrs
3able visited her neighbor one night.
With her was her little boy of seven,
who found it very hard to behave dur

tired (as usually a child does), but be-
cause he feared the thunder and the

Idea Broke Up Wedding
Ancient superstition caused a tragle
snding to a wedding in a Macedonian
village. The theory Is that if the wom-
an can tread on the foot of her hus-
band-to-be while he is standing at the
altar during the wedding ceremony,
he will obey her throughout their wed-
the custom and at the church a stamp-
ing contest began, resulting in triumph
for the bride. = The groom lost his tem-
per and before long the guests came
to the defense of the family honor and
a general fight took place. The bride-
groom later repented but the bride
would not see him.

Pride in His Work |
A story told of the famous Italian |
poet Dante relates how the poet once
overheard a blacksmith sing one of his
songs, In a horribly mutilated form.
Whereupon, in anger, Dante upset the
tools in the smithy. On being ques-
tioned by the astonished smith, the
poet informed him that he was as par-
ticular about his productions as the
smith was about his tools, and made
him promise not to sing his songs un- |
less he saw that he could do it cor- |
rectly. i
Motions of the Earth i
So far as is known the earth has |
four motions—rotation om its axis, |
revolution around the sun, procession |
of the equinoxes (a slow wabble of
the pole of the spinning earth, like the |
wabble of a spinning top, which re |
quires something over 26,000 years to |
complete), and motion through space
together with the sun and ail the at- |
tendant planets, toward a point in the |
constellation Hercules.
