PHONE IV .. Screwdrivers'* \re A Menace To Travel In U. S. Even Y ear "Screwdrivers" ? bad-mannered motorists?cause 7,000 deaths a year, waste $250,000,000 in gasoline and automobile efficiency, and bring about 25 per cent of all stop-and-go driving This was the conclusion drawn I from a talk by Dr. Miller McClin | tock. America's number one traffic i authority, at the aryiu|il banquet of ' the Greater New York Safety Coun jrtt when he was n fflTing to those ' dtKOttrtWM?motorist*?who?double j park, turn from wrong lanes, and beat traffic lights A new twist in his role as toast master was also introduced by Dr. McClintoek. He presided on the silver screen, by means of a motion picture entitled "Show Your Col ors," produced by Shell, in which Dr. McCiintock played a leading role This film, which promotes the enrollment of all courteous drivers in a national effort to eliminate ' screwdrivers" through a "Share the Road" campaign, delivered his key note talk.? !??? ?? More than 1,200 traffic and safety authorities from all nnrts of the .country .were present at the banquet 1 which climaxed a three day session held at the Hotel Pennsylvania. D.r McCiintock. who us director of k Traffic- Research Bureau at Yale and head of traffic audit bureau, corn pared bad driving manners to bad etiquette. "Most men wouldn't -plunge through -a-door that bad just been opened for a lady by a more courteous gentleman," he pointed out, "but it is surprising how many ill-mannered individuals will drive up sanely to y traffic signal and when the light changes to green, elamp the accelerate! to tin flo?n tu try to leap across before the preaching streams of traffic hi them. "If you were walking down a city street with a friend who was on his way to keep an appointment," said Dr McClmtock, "you wouldn't think of sauntering up to every window and admiring the contents while he fumed impatiently And yet you are doing just as thoughtless a thing ev ery time you window-shop from your ear, crawling along the street hke a well fed turtle while the cars line up behind' you "Certainly one of the most dis courteous drivers is the one who turns from the wrong lane. His par ticular lack of consideration for oth ers takes the form of suddenly swerving from a right-hand lane to make a left-hand turn; or he veers left, as if trying to get in the left turn lane and then swings abrupt ly to the right In either case he is as discourteous to the driver he has ; tut in front of. as if he had slapped his face. "He is the kind of dinner guest who would start for the other side of the table and then climb over. It he were an usher at a wedding, he would stalk down the right side of the aisle and then veer without warning to the left, treading on the preacher's toes and making the bride and groom stumble over each oth er "Double parking is pure thought Ifssiu'ss. The dtivei knows lie 11 Just be a minute, but in that minute he can tie up a block * of traffic, cause the shifting of hundreds of gears, yrasto SUPREME RADIO REPAIRING ON ALL MAKES AT THE RoImtsou Radio and Music Co.

Weeks, tobacco specialist of the Sl;d<- r<.Ilf*yi? F.vn-n^irm Service He recommends from 800 to 1,000 pounds of a 3-8-6 mixture per acre for light and low-productive soils, | and the same amount per acre of a 1 3-10-6 mixture for heavy and more productive soils. A formula derived on the follow ing basis usually gives very satis ? factory ii'suits. Weeks said?One third of the nitrogen from the high grade organic materials from plant i or animal origin, such as cottonseed I meal, blood, fish meal or animal tankage; and the other two-thirds from water soluble materials such i as nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia. The source of the phos phate is derived from superphos 1 phatc The potash should come from at least two sources, and in some cases it is advisable to get it from three. On sandy soil, where "sand drown" may occur, two per cent , should- come from muriate of pot ash and the remainder from sul ' nhate of potash magnesia Otherwise sulphate of potash may be used. Potash may be used in excess of i (1 per cent to very good advantage the specialist explained Additional potash will give added quality, more uniform ripening, and will reduce the damage done by leaf spot dis eases However, it is not safe to use | more than 6 per cent immediately before transplanting. Additional pot ash. preferably sulphate of potash, may be used as a side dresser, ap plying it at the rate of 50 to 100 pounds per acre within 20 days af ter transplanting. Proper Treatment Of Sweet Potatoes In Transplanting ? Where' .soils .ire infected with stem lot or wilt organism, the stem and loots of sweet potato plants should be dipped in a 20-20-50 Bordeauv mixture or dusted with a mixture composed of 25 per cent monohy drated "copper sulphate and 75 per cent lime just before planting. The scurf infected roots and stems should have a thorough coating of sulphur immediately before trans planting. All treated plants should be set in moist but not water logged soil. Legislature Slaps Counties In Face ? ?# (Continued from page one) counties and ignore others. Fitz hugh E. Wallace, of Lenoir; Hugh Morton, of Martin, and Tompkins, of Jackson, urged the bill, which had been amended to pro rate the cost of the investigation among the counties. "I don't expect to get anything back, but I don't want the State to forget the debt," said Tompkins.

Dr. McClintock lauded the Shell "Share the Road" Campaign, which is designed to rid the highways of lll-hiannered drivers, as an organiz ed nation-wide crusade to do away with 'screwdriving" He further predicted that this coast-to-coast crusade "will be recognized as the gieat step in a continuing program to increase the efficiency of the au tomobile as well as our pleasure in its use."

Best Fertilizer For Early Sweet Potatoes In N. C. ? When sweet potatoes are grown for the early market on sandy soils, a mixture of 3 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid, and 8 per cent potash applied at the rate of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds an acre is rec ommended. Where more than this amount is used, one-half should be applied before planting and one half soon after the plants are well rooted. For the late harvest of Por to Rico and Nancy Hall sweets when grown on sandy loam soils in the Coastal Plain section, an appli cation of 600 to <00 pounds of a > 9-9 mixture is recommended.

Dale Carnegie Tells How Girls Can Give Themselves Charm How are six specific rules that will help every girl to make herself more charming. These rules were given me by Dr. Joseph R. Sevier, I president of the Fassifern School for Girls, in Hendersonville, N. C. A course on how to be charming this popular girls' school. How sen sible In all the world is there any thing more necessary for a girl? If anybody should know the prob loms of girls, it's Joseph K Sevier, for he's taught and managed them for twenty years. In addition to be ing the president of Fassifern, he has a summer camp for girls, Camp Greystone, in the North Carolina mountains. I asked Dr. Sevier if he taught a ; southern drawl as a part of his I course, and he said, "No. Charm is deeper than a manner of speech Naturally many nf nnr girl* have. what is called 'the southern accent,' but we have northern girls who haven't any at all, and they're equal ly pleasing as our southern gtrte.~ Here they are, girls, just as you would get tlu*m in the classiuuin at Fassifern: 1. Interest yourself in others in stead of trying to interest others in you. The great secret of charm is in thinking of the other person. 2. Don't monopolize the conversa tion Draw out other members o! the company present Remember, that every person has an ego he wishes to express. 3. Do not expect constant praise The girl who invariably tries to draw praise soon grows tiresome. If she wishes to make a good impres sion, it would be far better to praise the nther person To he liberal with praise if it is sincere, will lead tow ard making a dozen friends where the praiseseeker makes one. 4. Listen respectfully to the opin ions of others. Do not make light of them because you do not agree with them. Besides, the other person may be right. 5. Cultivate o skill which will giv? pleasure toothers. By "skill" is meant habits which influence and serve other people. For example, the girl who can play the piano or ten nis, or is clever in other entertaining ways, is likely to be considered more j charming than the girl who does none of these things. Singing, story telling, making quick caricatures of those present, and fortune telling will add to the amusement of a group. In other words, the girl who "does somthelng" Is more charming than the girl who sits back, contrib uting nothing. 6. If you feel a person is lonely, talk to him, serve him tea. There are many wave in which yni. .an give attention and create happiness. Above all, says Dr. Sevier, give up the idea that charm consists of beautiful clothes, an accent, a smile. It's deeper and far more fundamen tal Since these qualifications are some times not stressed in the home, Dr. Sevier is providing Fassifern girls with an asset that will serve them long after their diplomas may have crumbled into dust, an asset they often will find of far greater value than all the book-learning that may come their way.
