in preventing accidents and in lessening their severity.
‘machinery. The larger part, however, has resulted from a
‘new spirit of safety first that has been instilled into work-
“ers and management alike. Precisely the opposite has oc-
curred on our highways. Recklessness grows, rather than
slackens; improvements in cars breed more deaths and in-
juries, not less.
What has been done in industry can be done with auto-
mobile driving. Just as industrial management disciplines
the heedless worker who endangers others, so must the
state discipline the heedless driver. If industrial workers
can learn the gospel of accident prevention “and take it to

SCHOOL MASTER school master.
A man of keen intellect he was
quick to recognize that which was good and to encourage
it with praise and assistance. He was just as quick to
recognize that which was bad and had the courage and
y spirit to fight it with all his faculties.
He was one of that decreasing group of older residents
‘the community who could remember when Dallas was a
hmunity unto itself. His interest in life and in men led
him to contribute articles often to this newspaper on sub-
jects of ldcal, State and National importance.
~The plain signature “Morris” at the end of any article
was the signal to the reader that here was something
worthy of reading and worthy of thought. The subject
might be of controversial nature and readers might not
agree with the writer but they never failed to respect his
- knowledge, logic and reason. Those opposed to him found
him a worthy antagonist who called forth their best reason-
ing and mettle.

TRANSPORT
FACTS the railroad, the rail transport is the back-
bone of the nation’s industries.
It is also a fact that there is room for
busses, trucks, waterways, oil pipe lines and other means of
transport. The problem is how to correlate these agencies
so that each may be run on a profitable basis and serve the
shipping and traveling public well.
The public interest is the main thing at stake. The
people want fast, economical and adequate transport, at
reasonable rates. They want greater industries, such as
. the railroad, to maintain a high standard of purchasing and
employment. Until the national government perfects a
transport policy that affects all interstate carriers impar-
tially in regulation and taxation, the public interest is not
served and the stockholders and employes of the railroad
are unjustly discriminated against.

Anti-Venom Serum
Saves Child’s Life
In a letter to the State Department
of Health an up state physician re-
ports the saving of the life of a little
8 year old girl, who had been bitten
on the leg by a rattlesnake while pick-
ing huckleberries on the mountain side.
She was rushed to the nearest town,
givn first aid by a state nurse, and
the doctor was fortunate in having a
single package of anti-venom serum.
By promptly applying it, he was en-
abled to report within a few days, that
the little miss would recover from the
effects of the bite. In recounting his
experience, he ordered another Supply
of the serum, so that he might be pre-
pared for any future emergencies of
a like nature. 7
While there are many things that
may be done when a person is bitten
by a venomous snake in Pennsylvania,
the one absolutely safe thing to do,
is to be prepared to use anti-venom
serum, whose results are well auth-
enticated by long practice and exper)
