WHY, THE BIG DOUBLE-CROSSER!
An Ohio PWA worker, according to the news, paid
for his wife’s hospitalization when a child was born
to them with pennies saved from his wages during
the last year. It was a copper-on-the-barrelhead deal.
Following a long season of bum jokes about the
PWA, such an incident comes as a freshening relief;
a sweet note in a sour symphony. Perhaps after all,
despite the hopes and efforts of the administration’s
opposition, some good can ba found in a New Deal
activity.
A reliefer saving up for a hospital bill out of meager
wages! Don’t breathe a word of it to your congress
man, but ALL PWA workers aren’t shiftless tramps
leaning on their shovel handles.
That’s the way it goes: With practically no one
paying their hospital or doctor bills these days, it
would be an uncouth beneficiary of the New Deal who
pulled such a trick.

FIGURES!
The old saw, “Figures don’t lie, but liars DO fig
ure, isn’t meant to apply in a personal way to the
writer of the following news story from the Monmouth
Herald, but there is something about the figures that
requires close study:
“Thomas Nelson of the Junction City Times has
figured out a comparison between weekly and daily
newspaper advertising that is at least ingenious. He
an advertisement has three times the chance
of being seen in an eight-page weekly as in a 24-page
daily. Since the daily lasts one day and the weekly
seven days, he figures a daily would require a circu
lation of 12,000 to equal that of a weekly with 500.
bince it costs four times as much to use a daily as a

with a daily having a circulation of 48,000.

He is far more likely to increase
his speed because in sounding his
horn he has Indicated his inten
tion to keep going and he wants
to make it evident that the way
had better be made clear for him.
If, on the other hand, he re-
frains from using the horn and
places his foot on the brake he is
indicating that he intends to re-1
duce his speed, or stop If neces

would appear obvious that slowing
down until the danger Is past re
presents a much more reasonable
procedure than attempting to
blast danger out of the way by
sounding the horn.
Automobile horns have been
misused by thoughtless drivers to
such an extent that there has been
some discussion of prohibiting
them altogether, since too many
drivers appear to believe that they
can assure their safety under all
traffic conditions simply by mak
ing a loud noise. It is reasoned
by some that if horns were elim
inated the drivers would utilize
more practical precautions to
avoid trouble, but whether or not
that would be the result is some
what problematical.
It seems that the most practi- I
cal solution to the problem pre
sented by the driver who uses his
horn excessively must come In the
form of a general understanding
of his true status. His actions too
often symbolize the discourtesy
which accounts for much of the 1
trouble and confusion In traffic.
A SURVEY of laws affecting
motor vehicles and their oper
ation, introduced at this year's
session of the legislature, discloses
that some important new meas
ures were written into the books,
while other legislation fell by the
wayside before the expiration of
the 20-day period granted to the
governor for considering bills fol
lowing the close of the legislature.
Passed were a bill requiring the
examination of all automobile op
erators at four-year intervals,
beginning in 1943; a bill changing
many details of the automobile
lighting code, and a third bill re
quiring pedestrians to observe
traffic signals in the same man
ner as motor vehicles. Also suc

owners of trucks and buses which
are destroyed, retired from ser
vice or sold out of the state to
