Even the worker in a powder factory; the dynamite jockey and a score of others working |n hacarddus employments or posi tions become s<> accustomed to the deadly ceobnodities they continually tamper with that they feel invulner able to the deadly aspects of th« same. The motorist conies in this category of operatori,” sa^s George O. Brand enburg, general manager of the Ore gon State Motor Association. - According to Mr. Brandenburg, the motorist, tike those handling dyna mite or other deadly items, has be come careless thrftugh yean of close affiliation and contact with the auto mobile. Today we find motorists whizzing through traffic; speeding down highways and arotdtd ¡curves as though going to a fire. Time seems to be exceedingly valuable to most motorists, even to the poim- of en dangering their *^wn lives is well as the lives of those about them. In contrast one must look back but a few years when the auto was new. Then there were many who re fused to even rifdd in one. They threatened to rule them off the street» in many of ohr large cities. Ordin ances were passed placing the speed limit at rkficuloosly low paces: all because they were considered a men ace on the streets and highways. Through years of contact and close affiliation this dread end fear has been worn away Until the tendency now is to lean the other Way. Motorists are too apt to becotpe unmindful of the damage that is possible with a car moving even at a moderate rate of speed if not properly controlled. The honk of an auto horn means nothing to many pedestrians, and the papers are filled with mishaps resulting from a carelessness that has been created by too great a contact with an object that is a convenience in transporta tion, but which may be made a haz ard in its cVfless manipulation. --S—-SHE*—— - BLOCS AND FACTIONS . - ------------ While economists are agreed that in wealth and prosperity the United States leads all nations, they differ as to basic elements entering into our national progress. ’ Some say the United States profited by the manu facture and sale of war material and by the increase induced by the war in price of our food and other prod ucts. Others contend that our pros perity is due to vast natural resources, developed because of the war, and to lack of production abroad during the war. Still others says, and more logi cally, that it is because of modern methods and machinery United with natural resources, thrift and industrial diligence. But there is another basic reason, apparently overlooked—the homogene ity of public opinion in the United States, as coutra distinguished from the heterogeneity of Europe. In the United States we have two great political parties, one is a check on the other. If the party in power fails to meet the public needs, it re quires no great amount of change in the public mind to transfer power to its opponent. European nations are divided into many political factions, no one faction strong enough to have control To form a majority, two or more factions must coalesce or combine, resulting in control by coalition which in turn is achieved through compromise of prin ciples or policies, effecting a combin ation inherently weak and vulnerable. The condition oi France today, is due as much to factions and factional disharmony in the legislative branch of the government as to th« effects of war. Due to the inherent weakness of factional control, no sooner does a coalition cabinet or government un dertake legislative action than it top ples and falls. No nation and no people can grow and prosper under such conditions If there is a lesson for the people of the United States in the financial and in dustrial chaos of European countries, it is that we must avoid blocs and factions and continue to chart our course through the medium of two pretty evenly balanced parties. This may not promote the demagogue, but it will promote national progress and prosperity. passion jn confronting a charging bull in the ring You or I would never think pf taking his risk,” says Reading of advertising is' worth Mr. Brandenburg, ‘but he has be while. come accustomed to such encounters, and thinks nothing of it . That is, he is taking no more of a chance than is the unwary pedestrain who steps in front of a speeding motor. The torea dor, in his. arena is ever alert and ready to meet an attack. The pedes train seems to have no idea of danger until carried to a hospital or the mor gue from the whe«ls of a motor. Nor does the motorist, in many in stances seem to realize the hazard be is taking in his thoughtless, carefree operating methods that are borne of too close a contact with the dread naught he is manipulating.” We should be ever mindful of the • » •• . < • *,, Tr dangerous side of motoring, when we appreciate its conveniences, and not become too case hardened from such mindfulness in our constant contact with them. The news of accidents in the papers continually remind 'us of these hazards, but we have becom« so accustomed to such stories we do not even heed them, until the story is driven home by an accident that in volves the individual, aad then it may be to late to profit by the thought fulness that should have been applied like an emergency brake when the heeding was good. **X‘. 4 : Few people realize the many details connected with the conduct of a funeral.
