Your lot is simple compared with the traffic cop's. Give him a, square deal — obey without compelling him to stage nervous explosions. He's there to save your life as well as other's. HABIT : Those iron mail boxes on the corner rust out and have to be replaced on an average of every three years. So Unele Sant is experimenting with boxes of brass, the metal that endures all kinds of weather for centuries. The brass boxes are so attractive in unfinished form that | postal officials decide not to paint them. They'll have to change their minds or the public will be afraid to use them. We've been dropping letters in green-painted boxes so long that it’s a habit. And people are notoriously suspicious of ehange. If the brass isn’t painted, many will try to drop letters in fire alarm boxes, i FIREWATER | Liquor — 100,000 cases of it a year —is smuggled into our country by the rum-running fleet off the Atlantic coast. So estimates Palmer Canfield, federal prohibition director of the New York district. | That's 1,200,000 bottles, mostly ‘imperial quarts,’ the total equal to 1,440,000 American quarts. Before this figure startles you, remember that in 1911, before America began going dry, 280 times that much whisky was manufactured in the United States. And that doesn’t include production of rums, gins and brandies, not to mention enormous imports from abroad, Moon- Shiners are active, but we hardly believe they’re making up the difference, ‘ ' We're going dry all right. Why kid ourselves?! PROSPERITY We've reached a point in this country, where booms are no longer safe, claims Theodore H. Price, able publisher of Com- -merce and Finance magazine. ‘‘Industry no longer needs the stimulus of abnormality. We can avoid alternating depression and inflation by refraining from becoming victims of our own enthusiasm.’’ | That's ea if the nation really wants to stabiliz pression always is the direct result of hoggis' i “a national epidemie of try return. . le BABEL The world now has 2754 different languages and diale: -according to experts on talking.

POSTMEN ‘ « No American fully realizes the enormous activities of the aation of which he is a member. It is beyond human imagina- sation.
