From repeal returns, the prohibition- ists should plead with the Wets to “dry up.” And they thought Jules Verne crazy Publishing a newspaper even of no conseqaence by remote control is not satis- fying, a publisher in that predicament once complained to The Citizen. At the ball game last week some over- enthusiastic fan attributed the loss of his favorite team to a “rotten empire.” Whe- ther Roman or Russian or some other de- cayed empire was not ascertained. A Nebraska farmer says he has stop- ped worrying since the government sta- tioned in his vicinity a brigadier general, an admiral pnd two professors to take care of the farm ©) 0:(iou.—Minneapolis Jour- nal. © Two city girls visiting in the country decided to go horseback riding. Asked whether they preferred the flat saddle or one with a horn, one of them replied: “The flat saddle, please, we're not going to ride in traffic, so won't need a horn.” Senators Fletcher and Trammell re- sent the appointment of Senator Larsen to the Florida collectorship chiefly because neither was asked for his endorsement. The political plum was declined by two Florida newspaper men, and is considered as the most important federal patronage office in the state. One thing is certain, the news- paper boys did not refuse the jobs on ac- count of the meagreness of the salary. The Tampa Tribune has no tears to shed, it confesses, over the replacement of Gilchrist Baker Stockton of Jacksonville by George H. Earle of Philadelphia as minis- ter to Austria. Stockton was chosen as a delegate to the Democratic national con- vention in 1928, then deserted the party’s nominee and became one of the most con- spicuous “‘Hoovercrats” in the state. Earle was a Democrat in 1928 as well as in 1932. —Miami News. Chickens come home to roost, and the democratic rooster is keep- eing-his. weather eye peeled. THE MAIN TENET OF SAFETY Safety on the highways is principally an attitude of mind. Better cars and roads won’t attain it. Indeed, they tend toward the opposite result. It has long.been the experience that when a stretch of poor road is con- verted into a broad, strait, smooth highway the number of accidents increase—because motorists overestimate the safety factor. They lose the sense of caution that a poor road naturally creates—and the death and injury rate booms. The same thing is true of automobiles. The manufacturers give us cars with bet- ter brakes, surer steering, more perfectly balanced bodies—and we abuse them to the point where the automobile accident } rate })r ks all records, The “safety attitude” isn’t a particu- larly difficult one to develop. It is simp- ly to drive as we'd like the car approaching us to drive. Don’t cut corners, nor pass on curves or hills, nor drive on the wrong side of the road, nor fight for the right-of-way, nor drive so fast that you cannot stop i» the assured clear distance ahead. Almost every accident, minor or severe, occurs be- cause someone violates these simple rules. Possibly a better phrase for safe driv- ing would be “courteous driving.’”’ Discour- tesy on the highway is always the friend of accidents. If you’ll make up your mind to drive the way you think the other fellow should drive, the accident rate will be due for a severe beating in the future. ANIMALS KEEP SUNDAY An interesting fact concerning the lions, tigers and leopards in the New York Zoo is related by the director of the park.
