Dora thinks a 3-cent stamp on a local letter gives it a dressy

In Oklahoma, a baby was born unexpectedly in a public
library. And—we assume-—began browsing around.
Prowling around Asia, a woman found a mountain ~but
that was a month ago. She must have exchanged it by this
fime.

the plants tied up by strikes. Dut the boys were sitting that
one out.

A Coast defendant with a seeming knack for lapsing intoa
coma at will still puzzles her attendants. Could it be the
company?
A friend of mine has been planning to build a house. Ris-
ing costs have about discouraged him. Ie writes:
“The main trouble today is that there are not the men
available to build, and houses are standing around half finish-
ed, that are just worked on at intervals. The tile people just
told me they have ten jobs for two men and they have jump-
ed their wages from $12 te $11 a day.”
That is a rather interesting story in a country where bil-
lions of dollars are being spent for so-called relief due to un-
cmployment.
FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY
The “Glorious Fourth” can be just as glorious as we choose
to make it. This vear the long week-end created by the holi-
day will intensify the hazards which the Fourth always pro-
duces. The watchword should be, “Take care!”
Independence Day celebrates the independence of a nation.
The coming week-end will demonstrate vividly the modern
interdependence of people. Great streams of traflic pouring
over the highways will show how essential are mutual regard
and courtesy among drivers. Fireworks will demonstrate it
too. A “firecracker thrown by another” is, according to the
National Conservation Bureau, the greatest single cause of
the tremendous number of fireworks accidents every Fourth
of July. At the beaches and lakes, imprudent swimmers will
again remind us that human life must be risked to save the
life of a drowning person.
Reasonable care divides a happy holiday from the tragedies
which mar it. Reasonable care will insure vou, your family,
and the other fellow against mishap. Tor instance:
If you drive— sec that vour car is in good mechanical con-
dition. Check tires, lights, brakes, steering mechanism, wind-
shield wiper, rear-view mirror, horn. Drive skilfully, at a
reasonable speed. Observe the rules and courtesies of the
road.
If you go swimming—swim in safc and protected places.
Keep away from children and animals and buildings. Throw
firecrackers away from people and inflammable materials,
not at them. Never hold an exploding firecracker, nor set
them off under a bottle or can. Cauterize the smallest wound
immediatelyv—tetanus poisoning works fast and kills.
If you go swimming—swim in saef and protecied places.
Beware of strong tides and currents. Know your limits as a
swimmer. Wail iwo hours after cating. Avoid shallow places.
SIX STEPS TO RUIN
Unless the constantly widening gap between government
income and oulgo is closed, writes Roger W. Babson, one of
the outstanding American cconomists, six financially ruinous
consequences will result:
“First, continued deficits ultimately lead to fear of govern-
ment credit.
“Second, unsound public credit means unwillingness to
lend the government money to pay its bills.
“Third, the treasury is forced to print paper money 1o pay
its deficits.
“Fourth, the paper money falls like a meteor in value as
i
prices shoot sky-high.
“Fifth, the buying power of salaries, wages, savings ac-
counts, insurance policies, and bonds drops to practically
nothing.
“Sixth, the ruined, starving middle-class lake the reins of
= government by force to bring order out of chaos.”
~ Mr. Babson does not think it too late to put the govern-
= ment’s financial house in order but quick action is essential.
= On a per-person basis Federal expenses since 1860 have in-
=~ creased from $2 to $55 a year. The average American family
«of five has an income of $1,700. It owes as its share of the
= soaring national debt, $1.375. In addition to owing this debt
=it must pay $275 annually in Federal taxes alone. Only an
=aggressive public demand for retrenchment and a balanced
“budget can save us from the “six steps to ruin” Mr. Babson
“describes.

Fake Racket
Gets The Gate
In New York
(From page 1)
Our inquiry was answered by
oaths, curse words and other un-
gentlemanly language, telling us
how little we knew about driving
and stating that we were respon-
sible for an accident and
erable damage to the New Yorker's
car.
We tried to discuss the matter
with the chap in a very modest
way but being unable to make any
progress, alighted from the car, told
the fellow he was either drunk or
and invited him to get out
we would imme-
consid-
crazy
of his car and
diately repay him for the cursing.
No sooner than we finished the
invitation, he very hurridly drove
off and we have not seen or heard
anything of him since.
We noticed a left rear fender of
his car was mashed and the hand-
les on both doors on the same side
were knocked off.
The Racket
The following taken from a New
York City newspaper explodes the
bubble:

in the city of New York that the

Need
for a permanent bureau re-
vealed by the activities of a
ial bureau which for some months
past has been successful
in convicting crooked lawyers, doc-
tors, runners and fake injury clai-
mants. Prior to the creation of the
special bureau 73 per cent of cases
on the calendar of the Supreme
Court of New York were personal
injury suits. Within a few months
after the special bureau began to
function personal injury claims
filed in the city, court dropped
nearly 30 per cent, and already a
marked decrease has taken place
in insurance rates.
New York's special
reau has benefited
taxpayer and the honest litigant,
but the public as a whole. Effi-
cient functioning of
machinery is no longer threatened
spec-
notably

not only the
by a growing volume of irumped-
up injury claims and the pernicious
activities of crooked practioners.
Cities throughout the nation may
probably follow the example set by
New York. The accident racketeer
is a parasite. His activities are a
constant drain on the resources of
the casualty insurance industry and
rates to higher
otherwize
force insurance
levels than would
vail, thus causing every insurance
buyer to help pay the bill.
Hearty cooperation between the
the insurance industry can
mately eradicate the fake accident
racketeer. The sooner his demise
