THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS ANYTHING "RUN DOWN" IS UNATTRACTIVE \ ou have oftfn heard people speak of a community ?>r sect on of the [ city as being run down.* It you stop anil look rft the mental picture that run Down" creates in your mind, you ui 1 have a vis * n of unkimpt, clut ered up streets, with mussv entry ways to store buildings and apartment ' houses, and yards littered with a little bit of everything. Anything that is run down is unattractive ? it repels rather than in ' vites. It makes >'?u say, "1 wouldn't have that," ralher than. "I sure would ! like to have one of those." In the case of a community, "run doivn" causes you to say, "I wouldn't live here ofl a bet." rather than to say "I LIKF. this part of town." Anything done or allowed to be done that tend* to cluttir up a commu nity is bad for the community and anything bad for the community drives business out of and away from the community, and when it is allowed to go on continuously, there is only one thing that can happen: the community \ luns down; people move out and business goes "flooey." Therefore, it is on v good business on the part of the peonle who make j up a community t<? see to it that any practice that tends to clutter up is eli minated. One practice common to communities, which is had. is the distribu tion from door to door, from store to store, from yard to yard, from car to car, of all sorts and shapes and sizes of hand bills and dodgers. There are many cities, communities and towns thr* wil no* allow it at all; others require a license fee sufficient to make it impractical, and they are wise towns. There may be an advertising value in these dodgers for those who use | them, and certainly those who print them make a prorit ; but is is bad fjrv the community, and unless the community is so fixed, financially, that it can maintan paper pickers ami sreet cleaners in sufficient number to clean up the mess they make it is poor business, and as far as advertising is con- j cerned. the same money, sper.t in other channels will undoubted y brine: greater results.

Mrs. Kidd, Hobert'- mother, was k ?! to her and the children, she I .* his father wa? mean to i hem, aiwavs i ssing her and threat en inir to kii!: them out. Life in the Kidd home became s?> unpleasant for them that she took the children and went to live with Higdon and his ?v ther untii she cou'd hiar from her home in Arkansas, as she had written hei father for money to pay he way back. About a week afro, she said Hol-ert returned and came t0 see her. He lit- told her that he would not live with her another day. but that she wa not going to live on there with the Iliirdons. and if he should kill them both, they would be "wel? paid." Hobert later saw H iff don and tried ? o yet him to throw them out, Put Ilimlon refused. He then threaten- i e<! to k'l! her and Higdon. too, if he1 di In't throw them out or make them leave Told to "Hit the Road" On the morning of the fatal jour- j ney. she and Higdon's small hov : were dicing potatoes a short d"s-j tanee from the Higdon home, when ' Hobert came upon them with a shot. J gi n. accompaned by hi* sma'l son. I "We i. I've come after vou," he1 said. and asked her i!v she saw the j road. She replied she did. "Get in it and hit it then," he to'd 1 her, motioning with his hand in the ii" "'ion of the road. ]*c told h m rbr wasnV going. He rnolied that he had corv for her and .-he was going back with him, or they would take her out of that potato nat'-h wth her "toes sticking up." She 'hen asked him to let her <?o | bji- k to the house and get lie babies. | "No." he said. "I've come after you and you're going to h t the road rivht now." She obeyed because she i new he would kill her ?f she d'dn't. che said. And together they began the jo irnve down the road toward home- she ?:nd Kidd and h:s 1 1 year old son ? hi- in rney that ended so traricallv for Kidd, and sent Higdon fee'n'* into the n o u n tain fastness, and at the same t me sending officers c." two 'ates scouring those mountains to find him. Acto d'ng to the story of Mrs. Kidf'V litt e girl, who wh. stay'ng at the Higdon home, when Higdon's lit tle boy returned from the potato patch and told Higdon what had hap tened, Higdon secured his gun and left the house. "What did he say he was going to do?" she was asked. "Said he was going to kill Daddy," she renlied. Reports Friday morning were to the effect that Higdon was still at large, but officers believe that he wi? be captured within a few days. Mrs. Kidd could not be held indefi nitely as a material witness since Higdon is still at large, and she and her two children left Friday morn ing for her home in Truman. Kansas, where she first met Hobert about five years ago and where they courted and married, later coming to th's section tn make their home.

What the L.&N. R. R. is doing to promote it. Here are facts and figures respecting the safety record of which the L. &. N. Railroad may be justly proud. ITS PUBLIC RECORD: During the last nine years the L. &l N.'s trains have carried 123,549,000 passengers an average distance each of 57-4 miles without one single passenger having been killed in a train accident. That is equiva lent to hauling nearly 7,000,000,000 passengers one mile without a fatality. In 1928, L. & N. trains carried 7,418,093 passengers an average dis tance each of 7 18 miles without a fatality, and with only 37 passengers injured in accidents. ITS PRIVATE RECORD: The number of casualties among the 48,000 L. &. N. employes in 1928 was 1,250, or a reduction under 1927 of 54X. In the mechanical department, with 18,000 employes, a reduction of 70% was made. Six of the 33 shops went through the entire year without a reportable injury and 10 of the 21 operating di visions made safety records of 100X for periods of one calendar month. Included in one of these divisions were the South Louisville shops where 4,000 men are constantly employed. In the American Railway Association contest to reduce accidents 355 by the end of 1930, the L. St. N. has nearly doubled this percentage two years ahead of time, by the end of 1928, with a reduction of 6SX. In the Railway Employes National Safetycon test, sponsored by the National Safety Council, the L. &. N. ranks fourth, with a rate of 10.68, the road holding first p?ace having a rate of 8.00. Needless to say that "eternal vigilance," the price of safety, must be maintained, and to that end the L. &. N. and its em ployes, in addition to the con stant installation of improved automatic signals, automatic train control, and other safety devices, and intensive activities through a continuous safety campaign, pledges its untiring support and appeals to its pa trons, friends, and "everybody" *? Always Be Careful. When you travel for busi ness or pleasure, remember that L6lN. trains are mod ern. comfortable, and safe trains that run on time and at convenient hours of de parture and arrival. The Pan-American, an all-steel, all -Pull man train without extra fares, is one of the finest trains in all the world. Let the nearest L &. N. agent, freight or passenger, help you plan your summer vacation
