The reduction in number of our dairy cows not only makes it possible for our farmers to give more attention to this phase of their operations, it makes it very de- sirable that they do so if our dairy industry is to attain its proper place in the sun. The Wish to Believe The power of rumor is a queer thing.

Motor vehicle accidents were re- eponsible for the largest proportion of the grand total—35,500 fatalities. ‘This total was 13 per cent above 1933 end well above the previous all-time high of 33,675 in 1931. Home accident deaths jumped from 80,000 in 1933 to 33,000 last year. Oc- cupational deaths are estimated at 15,500, an increase of 1,000 over 1933. ‘The new record of traffic deaths, @n increase of 4,000 in a single year, is only partially accounted for by in- creased auto travel. Gasoline con- sumption, the best index of travel, inereased only about seven per cent. ‘The increase in fatal accidents was general throughout 1934. Every month showed @ higher death total Increases in motor vehicle deaths were much greater in rural areas than in the city. Pedestrian fatall- ties increased less in 1934 than other types of traffic accidents, but they still average between 60 and 6S per cent of all motor vehicle deaths in Cities. In spite of general increases throughout the country, a few cities showed decreases in auto deaths. ‘They were: San Francisco, a drop of 15 per cent from 1933; Pittsburgh, 13 er cent; Milwaukee, 8 per cent; New York, 1 per cent. The only states ‘which showed reductions in 1934 were Delaware, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York and Oklahoma. States with efficiently administered drivers’ {oense laws had an increase of only 95 per cent in deaths as com- pared with 1933—well below the na- Honal average of 13.3 per cent. In view of this fact, North Dakota might well consider adopting such a statute. It would do much to reduce the number of reckless and irrespon- sible drivers who make of the auto- Mobile @ death-dealing machine. For Better Butter saw the spectacle of farmers taking their butterfat to town and returning with oleomargarine for their Bbareedat i a entirely shake. A sample is the trouble which cura- tors of the National Library in Paris have been having with credulous folk who insist on having a look at the mummy of Cleopatra. ‘The library has never had such a mummy. As far as anyone knows, no mummy of the famous Egyptian queen is in existence. For 50 years the library ourators have been issuing Public denials that there was such a mummy. But it makes no difference. There is @ rumor abroad in France that the Ubrary has the mummy, and people keep coming to see it—and getting indignant when they can't. A rumor of that kind can be one of the hardiest growths known to hu- man society. Safe at an Unsafe Job ‘There is a non-commissioned army officer in Cubs who seems to have about as strange and risky a job as any soldier could dream of. This man, Sergt. Jose Trabanca, is one they call on when a bomb is found about the streets. On such occasions he hurries to the spot, picks up the bomb, carries it to the harbor and tosses it into the sea. Considering the fact that bombs ate fairly ticklish things to handle, Sergeant Trabanca has a job which few people will envy him. During the last year he has been called on to tote no fewer than 958 bombs to a place of safety. And that total, incidentally, gives ® bright little sidelight on the state of public unrest in Cuba. The troubled republic must be producing malcon- tents at ® record pace, if bombs are being strewn about the streets at that rate.

(Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Jan. 29.—The Senate committee investigating the muni- tions trust may be incubating the Re- publican party's team of 1936 candi- dates for president and vice presi- dent. As good a bet as any in Washington is that Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg, 50-year-old Grand Rapids law- yer, and Gerald P. Nye, 42-year-old North Dakota editor, will carry the tattered banner of the Grand Old Party to the next battlefield. Both are able and ambitious. Mich- igan’s Vanbenberg is one of the party's “Young Turks;” North Da- kota’s Nye a lusty Son of the Wild Jackass. . Vandenberg is eloquent, and is something of a statesman. He has written books on Alexander Hamil- ton, and is a student of government. He is as good presidential timber as the party seems to have.
