The 3-cent rate has re- sulted in a reduced volume of first-class mail and defeated its object of increased revenue. So we may look forward to the | the-age of 20, drive automobiles. THE DANGEROUS DRIVING AGE. A serious responsibility rests on parents whose sons and daughters, under It is their duty to impress upon budding men and women the vital necessity for-care, courtesy and obedience to traffic rules at all times. The most dangerous age for drivers is under 20, according to E, E. Robinson, secretary of the National Bureau of Casualty & Surety Underwriters. Out of every thousand drivers under the age of 20 last year, 89 were involved in accidents. From 20 to 29,36 drivers out of one thous- and had mishaps; there were 27 in the ages of 30 to 39; twenty in the ages of 40 to 48 and 18 out of one thousand in the ages of 50 and over. Automobile public liability and prop- erty damage insurance rates are wholly un- der the control of their policyholders. Stock casualty companies have established by sta- tisties that the record for drivers under 20 last year was 39 per cent worse than the average; from 20 to 29 it was 29 per cent worse; from 30 to 39, 3.6 per ces'. better than the average; from 40 to 49 it was 29 per cent better and in the ages of 50 and over, 36 per cent better than the average. In the ages under 30, accident experience was 64.7 per cent worse than among the drivers beyond that age. There were 26,410 drivers under the age of 18 involved in accidents, of which 1,270 were in fatal accidents and 25,140 in non-fatal accidents. From 18 to 24 there were 326,690 drivers in accidents which killed 13,000 persons and injured 313,690. If parents will constantly emphasize to their children the necessity for safe driving and obedience to traffic regulations, it will be reflected in a diminishing toll of deaths, injury and property damage now exacted by the motor car on streets and highways. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS An unusual figure passed away a few days ago on his.plantation near Yazoo City, Miss., after several years of retirement. It was John Sharp Williams, who voluntarily quit the United States senate in disgust in, 1923, after nearly 30 years of service in congress, saying: “I'd rather be a hound dog and bay at the moon from my Mississippi plantation than remain in the United States senate.” Williams was an ardent supporter of Woodrow Wilson’s plan for American en- try into the League of Nations, and the de- feat of that plan was largely responsible for his leaving public life. Senator Williams was a_ brilliant orator, whose stinging sarcasm ‘caused many a political opponent to, wince. - His feud with Senator Vardaman of his own state is memorable, and he aided greatly in Vardaman’s defeat by Pat Harrison in 1918. It is said that after he retired from public life Senator Williams was offered $30,000 a year for a weekly arficle on any subject he might choose, but that he de- clined, saying: “I wouldn’t be tied down to do anything once & weak: sor anybody, or for $30,000.” * He was 78 years old at the time of his death, FATAL CARELESSNESS It is one of the most amazing facts con- nected with modern life that the number of deathg resulting from carelessness makes no greater impression upon the general public. In spite of the daily record of grade crossing accidents, drivers continue to take a chance, with an inevitable percentage of fatal results. The same is true of other practices which take their grim ‘oll of human life. Persons who are ordinarily careful in restoration of the 2-cent rate with a great'| protecting their property or their health deal of assurance. The Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion will finance a $13,000,000 railroad and highway bridge across the Mississippi river, near New Orleans. While no tolls will be}: charged for use of the highway or pedes- trian part ef the bridge it will nevertheless be self-liquidating, as the funds to provide for interest charges and amortization of the bonds to be issued by the State of Louisiana will come from a gasoline tax to be imposed. appear to throw discretion to the winds the moment they grasp the wheel of an auto- mobile, and positively through failing to observe the most elemen- tary cautions. « The jaywalker is equally reckless, tak- iug’ the chance of being run down for the sake af saving a few steps or a moment's time. Those who are careless of other dangers help to swell the harvest of deaths. And the most lamentable fact is that no amount of warning appears to have any appreciable effect. invite disaster } VOTE FOR | BG 5200S EVEL GARNER) oe SHOLTZ GET BACK TQ. “NORMALCY. By A. &.
