Wait! You May Lose
The thiid "cure fill ci'iikm:;;;" Ciimpiiiy.ii ponductcd by the

f .Scptonilicr. I'y )( iteration it is linpud that the peril
wliiHi linliK iilxiut every crnsxinn may he llKiro KL'"oi'.'dIy
iinpres.sed and th.e ;ieeiileiit.i lie reduced in number. It is
lidled that in 'Jo years the pomiliitinii has increased VM per
cent, hut the fatal croKsiii;;- accidents have increased 3I."
icr cent and injuriet. to jierseiis G52 per cent. In the six
years from 1017 lo 11X2 inclusive there was an average
(if 1,S')I) deaths and '!,!)()() injinies i-ach year friim this
cause. ICiiihty-fuiir ptr cent (if the accidents last year
involved motor care.
t is due lo the prcat iiineasc in the automobile traf
fic that accidents have urown. 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.
I!ccau,sc Ditti'VltWWluuf cauliim.yjjjjtnaj t of a small
minoi ity "accidents occur. If each person possessed realiza
tion of self-in Iciest there would lie little need for these
safety campaigns. 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.

John" II. Mott, head of the national Y. M. C. 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.'

Perfidious
savages
yN THE Toires Straits Islands in the East Indies, there nro
J. no trees suitable Tor canon building. 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.
