stressed by Winston H. Thornburg, representing Gov. Frederick
fc. Payne of Maine, in a conference Wednesday with Governor
McKay and other state officials.
s Thornburg, in company with his wife, is visiting the: 47 states
Ih the union as well as Mexico.f-
w h. .lrudv covered fourteenl?y Mohler, Shirley and Jerry,
He has already covered fourteen
states and toured in Mexico.
iQn his trip Thornburg is
making a study of each state's
traffic regulations, the type of
road markers used and other
nertinent subjects relative to
traffic safety. Upon his return to
Maine he plans to compile this
information and send a copy of
tjie compilation to every gover
nor in the United States.
(While in Salem, Thornburg
conferred with Secretary- of
State Earl T. Newbry and R. H.
Baldock, state highway engineer
after having luncheon with
Gov. McKay.
i Thornburg said that because
ljighway markings differ in vir
tually every state, motorists
traveling over the country be
come confused
i He praised the use in Oregon
of signs reading "Prepare to
Stop."
"Oregon is the first state in
which I have observed these
warning signs," he said. "They
Vare simple and easy to under
stand, just as all highway signs
should oe."
eer highway signs in cities, de
claring that motorists often are
unable to see the signs in the
city because of conflicting neon
and other advertising signs.
Hence, he said, it was often dif
ficult for strangers to find their
way - through the cities and
towns.
Education was advocated by
Thornburg as the most import
ant factor in reducing accidents
and traffic deaths. He said that
he had found that driving train
ing courses had been installed
in the high schools of most states
but said that this training should
be extended into the elementary
schools, first because it would
tend to protect the children
from accidents while crossing
streets and further that it would
result in a helpful influence up
on parents,

Shaw Proposes
Crime 'Cure
London, Aug. 25 W) George
Bernard Shaw proposed a sweep
ing cure for crime today: Abolish
prisons and put their inmates
to death.
The 93 - year - old playwright
set forth his views in a printed
postcard mailed to editors from
his home at Ayot Saint Lawrence.
"If-we find a hungry tiger at
large or a cobra in the garden,
do not punish it," Shaw
said. "We kill it because, if
we do not, it will kiU us."
Fleas, lice, locusts, white
ants, anopheles mosquitoes, Aus
tralian rabbits, must be exter
minated, not punished.
"Precisely the same necessity
arises in the case of incorrigibly
dangerous or mischievous hu
man beings, sane or insane, hope
less idots, and enemy soldiers.
"The kindest method so far
known is to let criminals go to
bed and to sleep as usual, and
then turn on an ordorless gas to
prevent them ever waking. En-
emy soldiers we have to kill
how. we can."

The design of the White House

palace in Dublin.
