Give the pedestrian plenty of time to board a street carl The pedestrian: still outnumbers the motorist and much good will result if the motorist will be more thoughUTdl about the men and women who walk; rather than ride. r Street cars are usually equipped with air brakes and can stop quickly. So if driving a car don't crowd a street car unless your car is equipped with four-wheel: brakes 'and even then it is best not to take any chances, BE CAREFUL IN PASSING Country roads are sometimes flanked by steep banks, ditches, holes and swamps which1 cannot be seen easily, especially if , one is driving in a closed car. ; Flay safe and keep to the roadway. In going off you may never know what you! are getting into. J Be careful not to overtake an) pass another vehicle either too fast or too slow.

If you are guilty, say so and. briefly state any explanation or excuse. Usually in a simple case, strict attention to what the court says and the aid that the court will give you and youf witness will enable you to present your defense without a lawyer. , . "If you feel annoyed by the decision, remember that it is sot always easy to do exact justice. If you feel especially outraged, don't shove your contempt for the court; conceal it. If necessary, appeal. Bnt most of all, don't let any unfortunate rourt experience of your own turn you' Into an enemy of traffic enforcement." .'-i , i, 1 BE THOUGHTFUL ' Ever meet this person?

England, France, and all of Europe waited, anxious to know what sort of a pawn for diplom acy would emerge. , - ; : n j The world may have waited Impatiently,- but behind those mass ive oaken doors. Franklin, Hamil ton, Washington, Madison and their colleagues wrought patiently steadily, and profoundly. ; They took their wisdom of government from the whole experience of the Anglo-Saxon people. They utiliz ed the sagacity ot the political philosophers of . the whole world. They found the principles of gov ernmentnot of artificial, Jiighly diplomatic government, but of the natural relationships i of man 4 to man. They drew the' plans for b new government they built a humanistic Constitution. . , Out of the chaos, this Consti tution brought order. A govern ment was founded; a people pros pered; a commonwealth was built Then began the glorious pageant that is the History of America. Men like Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, marched in the" van guard all trying to realise the goal set up by this same Consti tution. Wilson who has Just paid with bis life for his efforts to interpret universally this Consti tution, got the attention of the whole world. War-glutted Europe pressed to follow the man who pointed the way to a realization of the principles that underlie this same Constitution. - : . And what of today? What of us?

Have we forsaken the serious task of government f Are we , content' to turn over ; to petty, self-seeking politicians the .duty of administrating, of .Inter preting this Constitution?
