Sn many more people us ing the roads and crossinjis together with increase in the number of trains aujiinent the possibility of accident. Then failure lo "slop, look and listen" completes the Hulling for , an accident. There are two ways in which the accidents may be re duced. Klimination of cius.sinj;s would remove the peril, but the slupendous cost, eHlimated at $10,(100,0(10,000, puts the completion of i;uch a movement far in the future. Klini inution is pro('ressiii( but is slow, necessarily. Caution on the part of those Who have occasion to cross a minora) at a frrmlo would remove tlni major- portion of the peril.

And those who need the warning the worst are the hardest. to impress. The new slogan "Wait! You May Lose," involves an impoilnnt truth nnd should be self-enforcing, but there are those who will continue on the theory that the warning is for others. It is a difficult matter to impress the need for caution on those who manl iest no personal interest in it. -That is why these cam paigns appear to be so meagerly fruitful for results.

A. organi zation and unite well known in (.begun,, has recently re turned from a long slay in Kuiope. His report means a great deal for he, says plainly, "the people of F.urope are at work." They will get over their ills if they work and Kurope will come back with remarkable speed if Mr. Mott's solu tion of the situation is.coruvt. H calls to mind that Ameiica should take heed of the Mott statement, for what thin country needs above every thing else is for the people lo ;;o to work. This flossy, fuzzy life that has been led by w many must cease, and plain, honest work must take its place else we will find that the Ktiropean touiiiiie.-. in a shoit time will have so profitted by their run:. taut wm k that America will be be hind the iut'M'iiattonal piece: ;.i,ai. The best edict that ourd be issued fiom the While House and from eveiy goveinot's office in the United Mates would be, "(In In work." When the deleg-dioii u written call on a governor want ing some J etui ai rtai-ted. that ,'iovernor would be doini' those ladies a kindness if he would say. "Ladies, my advice lo you is lo ;;o home and j'o to work." When the male red ion of society opines the failure of some law and haste is to the stale capital, af.iiin the chief executive could veiy ptoperly say, "Why Itecome agitated over those minor niaUots when there is so much w.nk to be done: go bad; to your work, my dear man, things ire not going to the bow wows as you imagine Ihey are." And so on down the line could a governor hammer away and do more good by instilling the desire to work into hu manity than he could with all the bunk stuff most of them peddle about refoims.'

So the natives, a cruel tieacherous .race, import their canoes from the Fly River Delta in New Guinea another place with an ' unenviable reputation. The distance between these: two places is over four hundred -miles, and no native in that, legion travels even one-quarter of that distance. ' , The word is simply passed on from tribe to. tribe. On tho . .strength of this vague (Trder a canoe is built. Then it is re layed back. Kach trilte of bloodthirsty cannibals tests nd dis cusses it before passing it on. Finally the payment, shell neck laces, i'penr points, arm bands, makes it way to the canoe build ers in the same leisurely fashion. There is reason for this honesty in savages lo whom perfidy . is natural. If any of the parties in this complicated transaction were lo risk being dishonest, their credit would be ruined. And though these natives may kill and eat each other, they hold barter inviolate. Even savages understand that ' in commerco it pays to bd honest, and to let the world realize your honesty! So in modern business. Advertising must be honest and it is a proof of honesty. A product's advertising is the best guarantee of its rjualily, usefulness and value. The man who ndvortises is inviting your inspection. He is letting his . goods stand on their own merit. He can't afford to deceive you. You can depend on him. That's why it pays to read advertising and to buy advertised goods.
