Down in Key West they are issuing building permits at the rate of about one day, which sounds like prosperity — St. Augustine Record. That’s just a starter; wait until the Overseas Highway is completed and then you will see some- thing. The Boston Transcript says that “Key West Slumbers Until Spring,” and the Times-Union of Jacksonville goes it one better and says “the fact is that it slum- bers right on through the year.” That be- ing the case it behooves us to “Wake Up and Live.” The rich child never tastes the} pleasure of the poor child when you put a! few pennies into the little one‘s hand for candy, and the rich boy often seeks the! self-reliance and independence denied him } or given begrudgingly, but is the poor boy’s natural heritage. | The Fort Myers News-Press says that the Western Union isn’t much good as an advertiser; that while the paper gives the | wire company considerable business, all they send around is a bill. It is the same| way here in Key West; the Western Union is the only utility company that gets but never gives.

They have had no formal instruc- tion behind the wheel. Usually they learn to drive by watching older persons or a young companion. In this way they learn bad practices along with good ones, and, being young, they are apt to exaggerate the bad and minimize the good. As one bad apple contaminates a barrel, one poor driver can ereate dozens of worse ones if he attempts the role of teacher. ‘ Fortunately, the high schools of the nation are recognizing a responsibility for these facts. According to the safety education division of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, some iive thousand high schools in more than | half the states are now giving instruction | in the principles of traffic safety. Some schools are actually teaching their students how to drive by giving real road training in real cars. Three states, California, In- diana and North Carolina, have made such | instruction compulsory, while state depart- ments of education in 28 states have issued model courses of study in traffic safety. i The subject of good driving has become the fastest growing movement in the his- tory of American education. Already there are significant results. | Tn Rhode Island, more than a thousand high school boys and girls were taught to drive in a course sponsored by the Motor Vehicle Department of that state. Their | driving records were kept in a special file for a period of three years. In all that time not one of the youngsters was in-! volved in a reportable accident and not | Outstanding educators say thete is no greater function for education than teach- they may expect to do in life. Certainly, teaching them how to drive motor cars so as not to kill themselves or others; fits neatly into that definition. THE GREATEST WAR | Following the assassination of the} Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir pre- ; sumptive to the throne of Austria-Hun- gary, on June 28, 1914, the stage was! speedily set for the Great War, which formally began by Austria’s declaration of war on Servia exactly one month later, on July 28th. { Other declarations of war followed with dramatic swiftness: Germany against | Russia, August 1; Germany against | France, Belgium and England, August 4. Thus by August 4 all hope of averting a general European war had vanished, and in a few months Germany, Austria, Tur- key and Bulgaria (known thereafter as the Central Powers) faced practically all the rest of Europe (designated as With the entry of the United States and most of the countries of the western | hemisphere into the war on the side of the | Allies in 1917, no less than 23 nations | : were arrayed against the four Central | Powers. | The total number of men mobilized | was nearly 65 million, of which appro | mately two thirds were on the side of the | Allies. The Allied losses were 5,152,115 | killed or died, 12,831,004 wounded, and! 4,121,090 prisoners or missing. The Cen-! tral Powers lost 3,386,200 killed or died, 8,388,448 wounded, and 3,629,828 prison- | ers or missing. | War expenditures reached the in-!} comprehensible total of 186 billion dollars, ; | and of this vast sum the Allies also spent | about two thirds. | All this waste of lives and treasure is | still reflected in the unhappy economic | condition of the world. Still, in’ spite of! this ghastly spectacle, we find the same national and racial hatreds which existed | in 1914 threatening another war which| might be more terrible than the last. | What a commentary on our so-called | civilization.
