More About Accidents We are indebted to accident insurance CMnpanies for the greater part of our in- ikarmation about automobile accidents and pass altmg to the reader some of the Sgnificant facts gleaned. - To better realize the importance of the problem of automobile accidents let us all bear in mind that 36,000 persons were kill ed last year by automobiles. Now if we can classify the fatalities according to causes we have a better understanding of the situation. In 1934 nearly half of the persons killed by automobiles were pedestrians. Of the pedestrians killed 34 per cent were persons crossing streets in the middle of a block, 11 per cent children playing in streets, 17 per cent walking along roads, nine per cent coming from behind cars, and 29 per cent miscellaneous. The first cause mentioned, crossing in the middle of blocks, has reference to con ditions in cities where traffic signals are in use. Children killed playing in streets ean be charged up to careless paints wftu do not keep their children out of the danger zone and to motorists who do not exercise the proi>er care. Persons who are killed while walking along the road usu ally die because of their persistence in widking on pavement, although two cars may be meeting at that time. Walking from behind a car into the path of anoth- w is unadulterated carelessness, and the miscellaneous pedestrian accidents can be attributed to varied causes. More than 10,000 persons were injured last year because many nit-wit drivers in sisted on passing cars on curves and as they approached the tops of hills. Although we have often heard the 'ex pression that motorists make better time at night, the accident figures show too many fatalities to make one think that night driving is safer than in the day time. The rate of deaths per accident .was 22 per cent greater at night than in daytime in 1934. The following poem is not an exaggera tion: Back in the days when there was less baste. A checkered suit, a diamond of paste, A gay cravat and a limber cane. Such were the marks of male who was vain. But now he “struts” in a car with flash, , He’s always out for a crazy dash. His brakes may be worn and out of line But both of his horns arc always fine. He drives like a demon, even though He hasn’t a single place to go. He cuts around when chances are slim— , Danger to others means naught to him. ' He thinks that a “Stop” sign just means . “Slow,” And jumps the lights bifore they sa, “Go.” He shows no quarter to those who walk And thinks that their rights are so much talk. And EJddie Cantor, of radio and movie fame, suggests the following inscription m every driver’s license: Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way. He was right as he sped along. But he’s just as dead As if he’d been wrong. Concerning speeding and the ever-in- creaaing ratio of automobile killings, the noted actor, singer and writer has this to Ask a thousand automobile drivers—I mean teoae recklm ones—going 60 or more mikes per iipar—what they are going to do with the time gtey sav«, and see how many can give you an teMHgcnt answer? ^ **Believe me,” he adds. "I am not trying to be ftelwiHaM wdien I te8 yon that if automobile ac- _ I on the increase it will soon reach where pec^Ie will be saying that a per- kiopd by a ipeeding automobile died a nat- i;ptel dsdte.” which may be claiming a deal, fiinee nobody deems to r.i|ndeimnd it very well—rthere Is a great ^al ipore to the effoH to put the price of the white metal up to 81.2^ an ounce, its old parity value with gold, than mere ly t» favor the silver producers in the United States. To us it seems like a? move, ahd a very importantjone, In the effort to bring about an equalization of world currency values; an^ that, we , are ^Id by all the economists, is some thing that must occur before interna tional trade can be restored to any thing like its old basis. The silver purchase act under which the Treasury has lately twice boosted the price it will pay for silver, to 77.6T cents an ounce at last reports, requires this Government to buy enough silver to bring the metallic reserve behind our currency up to a point where it is one- quarter silver and three-quarters gold, figuring silver at $1.29 an ounce. As we have more than eight billions in monetary gold reserves, this would mean a silver stock of at least two and one-half billions, or more silver than there is known to be available in the world. The natural result of this, and its purpose, is to raise the world price of silver, which is moving upward rapidly. And since nearly half of the people of the world are on a silver currency basis, the effect of the rise, already notice able. is to increase their purchasing power in trade with the gold-standard and managed-currency nations, and af the same time to take away the mone tary advantage thei^ have had in ex ports to the rest of the world. OJT quvouuu «« IJf 1 gr^t deai, ! HeaTMle er^nd it * ' « ^ THE BOOK the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON THE BIBLE CALLS HER GREAT Ask a dozen Bible students, “Who is the one woman whom the Bible calls great?” and even they would likely give a wide variety of answers. Was it Pharaoh’s daughter, whose wit and courage saved the life of Moses? Was it the mighty Queen of Sheba, ruler of an empire? Was it the mother of Solomon, who made him king, or the mother of John the Baptist, who consecrated him to his splendid mission? None of these; none of the women of royal birth; none whose close relation to kings or apostles made their names famous for deeds of public re nown.’ Quite a different sort of woman alto gether. Let us look a moment at the picture of her which is given in the fourth chapter of Second Kings. First of all. she was domestic, a home-maker, living not in the city but in one of the northern villages. Her husband was a farmer, which meant that he had his house on the edge of town, as was the custom then. A main road ran near by, and important people used it. Solo- moJi, too, appears to have traveled there in his time. The “great woman” had executive ability. In the early days of her married life she" had no children, and that fact shadowed her life. But she did not complain. The narrative distinctly implies that she accepted the situation and made the best of it, giving hetself to such activities as lightened the load of her husband. She was re ligious, and she was hospitable. To these last two characteristics she owed the friendship that brought her the happiness which she desired above all else, and won for her the place of honor in the Bible records. And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. And she said unto her husband. Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by vs continually. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table,-«nd a stool, and a candle stick; and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. As to what happened afterward, the fulfill ment of her long desire for a son, the growth of the boy, his illness, and his miraculous re covery at the hand of the prophet Elisha—all these are written in the next thirty verses of the chapter. She was just a small-town woman who loved her husband and wanted motherhood more than anything else in the world, and baked good bread and keut a clean guest room. The Bible does not tell us her name, but of all the women whose biographies it records it speaks of her alone is “great.” ^Wiley Post*’s motto seems to be, “If you don’t succeed at first, fly, fly again.”—Providence News-Tribune.

The Woman’s Missionary So ciety of Shady Grove Baptist church met Saturday afternoon at Shady Grove church. The president, Mrs. J. M. Wright, presided. After devotional was read and prayer was offered re ports were given and business matters were discussed. The program topic “The Min- estry of Healing” was discussed and a short talk on “CatboUcs” was made by Miss Stacy Haynes. A special meeting will be held, Saturday afternoon of May 18, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Lunsford. We want to urrfe that every member be present. Mother’s Day was observed at Shady Grove Baptist church last Sunday due to the fact that the pastor, Rev. J. M. Wright, can not be there on the second Sun day. A wonderful sermon was de livered by the pastor on “Moth ers,’’ stressing a mother’s love for her children.

I suffered agoitia with my back, hips %nd legs. My feet and legs were swollen to twice their normal size. My hips and knees were drawn and it was impossible to straighten them. From having to lie in bed so long in one position a bed sore formed on my right hip. I had a severe splitting head ache all the time, and my doctors could g^ve me no en couragement. but my back was so MRS. ALICE STONE North Wilkesboro, N. C. A friend advised me to try Chiropracticj sore and huirt me so badly I was afraid the adjustment would be too painful. I was so sore I could not turn myself in bed and the least jar caused me to scream. Finally I decided to call Dr. E. S. Cooper as a last resort. To my surprise there was very little pain to the adjustment. From the first adjustment I received some relief, and in two weeks I was walking some. I gradually grew better until now I enjoy good health, keep house for six, and do all the laundry, mending, sewing and cooking. I will be glad to answer any questions any one wishes to ask. MRS.
