HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS (New York Sun) After all. the buggy has not yet been pushed into the discard by the automobile; adherents of the oldtashi<>tied vehicle have rallied their forces against modernization. They prefer to go places while sitting bohind a brisk trotting horse instead of behind the inanimate wood and steel of an engine. Figures support their assertion of considerable gains along the battle front. Reports of an Indiana builder since 1932 show steadily increasing sales; last year this firm sold 900 buggies for approximately $75,000. The Sun recently recorded the fact that Andrew Hansen, a farmer who lives near Battle Creek, Iowa, is now driving a sturdy new top buggy specially ordered for him. He holds that there is no safer or more economical means of transportation. Ard more, Okla., was roused to enthusiasm the other day when a local hardware dealer?he runs the carriage repository?delivered a one-seated, cut-away buggy to a customer, recalliing the old Indian Territory days when the store sold a carload of buggies every month. WHEN THE BOSS IS AWAY Many of us get the idea that if we should go on an extended vacation, or otherwise drop out of the daily routine, our business ^ffairs would go to pieces. But that depends upon how well those affairs are organized beforehand. It is related of Andrews Carnegie that after one of his new department heads had been in charge for a year he sent him to Europe for six months. If the department didn't run run better while he was away, the department head was fired upon his return. Carnegie's theory wiu uidi. a mail wutJ iuuiu nut uigaiiuc a ucpai imenr su that it would function in his absence was not fit to be the head of it. There is a great deal of practical value in this theory particularly in the case of large enterprises. Where the subordinates feel that they must consult the chief concerning every minor detail they fail to develop |*he ability to make decisions or assume responsibility. The chief at the same time keeps himself enmeshed in a mass of petty routine which prevents his giving adequate attention to larger problems. The president of a famous hotel was recently complimented by a guest upon the excellent manner in which the place was being conducted. It developed that the president had just returned after a vacation of six months. He informed the guest that he had been away, and added: "Everyone seems to feel that the heuse has run better without me, and that even the weather was better than in previous years." n The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, Norl ALL THE FAULT OF THE GROWN UPS One of the latest findings of the psychologists is that childish wilfullness and obstreperous disobedience, as well as adul: habits of exessiv esmoking and drinking. i and even wind-baggrishness. all come from the constant . and careless interruptions of the infant youngsters mea? times. Thus, when one talk- too much, or preaches inor! v?;:.ately long sermons, or makes over-long political h? s. or has fallen into intomperat habits, he is J merely getting even for the bad state of temper into I whhh his infant mind was often thrown long years be! fore. ?uch is the theory of L)r. Ernest E. Iladey. Director of Biological Science in the Washington School of Psychiatry. According to Dr. Iladley. these meal time interruptions exasperate the infant, and if often repeated, create a state of hostility in the child's psychic make-up that becomes a lasting state of interpersonal "negativism"' that persist through later life. "In the growing child,' he says, "this negativism takes the form of antagonism to all suggestions and commands." "In adult life." he believes further, "this interpersonal hostility shows up in many curious and apparently remote ways. It often causes persons to become windbags, heavy drinkers or smokers, who thus find a sort of compensation for the unconscious hostility for interrupted feeding." All of this of course is of interest, as all human frailties and their causes are to other humans but it is not particularly new, nor is the theory new that such sins and wrong doings are subject to both prevention and cure. The majority of people these days are* wise enough to realize that the tiny tot's naughtiness, as well us the [ older child's wildness and disobedience, is impossible of cure by me*1 punishment, but in almost all cases may become fruitful and challenging traits when turned into proper channels. But with it all, there are certain bored people among us who feel that the last, and it may be, the only impreg-. liable fortress of bad habits is that of the interminable talker. ONE SUBJECT THAT HAS BEEN LEFT OUT In all the campaign just passed there was plenty of promises made, platforms outlined and amendments pleached. But at no time, except for a five-inch story on one of the inside pages of the Asheville Citizen, has there been any mention or evident interest in increasing and extending the highway patrol force. In that one little statement Captain Charlie Farmer, who was in Asheville at that particular time, said he hoped the next general assembly would give him a larger appropriation so he could use more men and better equipment on his force. lYactcally every county in the state has one officer and naturally the thickly populated centers have more than one. We don't know what the figures are or what the requirements are to justify the patrolling of one county by an officer, but we do know we're short loj cally. x ins tendency 01 outs to repeatedly bring up the subject of a need for more patrolmen ,in this section is not new. It is however inescapable and the facts must be faced. Two years ago there was no patrolman here at all. There was plenty of cars on the roads and plenty of accidents. The most of them were not fatal or serious, thank heaven, and ninety per cent of them the people in general never heard about. Then a year ago the department took on a number of new men and sent Mr. E. B. Quinn, Jr., to patrol Cherokee, Clay and Graham counties. He has been very effective in curbing the number of wrecks, demanding proper equipment on cars and tiucks and arranging titles and licenses. But he has too much territory to cover. Tt'? . t a- J ' - * ~ ? .~..b Hum mc iieau oi i usKeegee to the lower end of Shooting Creek and many things ?an happen during an ordinary trip between the two places. With the bonus money came thousands of automobiles, most of them second-hnded, to the highways. More cars are being bougt now and the highways are becoming more crowded. The week-ends have been few here lately when at least a half dozen wrecks are not reported in the county, many of them resulting in fatal injuries. Perhaps the addition of another patrolman to this district, or a dozen for that matter, would not be a "cure all" for accidents. But they certainly would help to prevent them and make the roads a safer, saner place to drive. We hope the next general assembly sees fit to add on as many patrolman as are needed and give us an additional man in thos neck of the woods.'
