THE MODERN “MAN ON HORSEBACK’ At a dangerous street corner in New York where two street car lines cross at an angle in front of a Subway station and heavy crosstown traffic complicates an al ready difficult situation, stands a large sign in the shape of a tombstone. It reads “Sacred to the Memory of 1,846 persons killed by automobiles in the city this year.” The number is changed every day. It never grows smaller; the dead do not come back to life. Ohio for some years marked the scene of every fatal accident on a state highway with a white cross. It is re ported that the state has abandoned this practice; the crosses became too thick in some spots. This is a step in the wrong direction. W arnings like that may be dis regarded and usually are by most motorists, but enough dnvers will be shocked into at least temporary caution to be more careful at that particular spot. It is not merely for the protection of drivers and their passengers that such warnings are needed. The man on foot still has first rights on the highway, and his life is as valuable as that of the man who rides. Out of all the immense toll of motor deaths in 1929, nearly a third were of pedestrians struck by automobiles. In the old feudal days in Europe the man on horseback felt that he was a superior being, and the poor people who had no horses had to agree with him or be ridden down. One of the things our fathers came to America for was to change all that. It would almost seem as if we were losing ground. There is something about driv ing a car that makes many persons utterly reckless of the rights of others. That these reckless ones are not always very young and are not necessarily intoxicated, only makes the situation all the worse. Improving.

INTERESTS SCIENCE There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey.
