If the local author ities will not see that this is done, then the grand juries ought to step in and exercise their sworn duty. Murder and treason are neither ex cepted nor made the entire burden upon which a grand jury's findings must rest. Neither is bootlegging. Murderers, traitors, conspirators, burglars and bootleggers should be given proper punishment. So should those who engage in many things that are allowed to pass unnoticed in many communities. Included in this latter class are those who, through carelessness, endanger or make life disagreeable for others. The crime of endangering the life of a child is especially reprehensible. Judge Horton, no doubt had this view in mind when he requested the Wake county grand jury to keep on the lookout for motorists who make going ot school unsafe. v -'.deration not only in ':;;.!oigh but throughout lie reminded the in , , ,iy he was addressing ion that there are . n the statute books. ;. listeners might have nuu'h.

WATSON, OF CHAD BOURN AND SON HAD NARROW ESCAPE SATURDAY Take TRADE MARK REG Wilmington, Oct. 4. M. J. P. Newton, risides on the Castle Hayne road, near the city, and his automo bile driver, a negro, narrowly missed death by drowning in a creek in which their car turned turtle while they were en route to the city from Southport last night about 9 o'clock. Fortunately for Mr. iewton and the negro, who were pinned beneath the car, Dr. A. McR. Crouch and Tubby Bryant, member of the fire department, were proceeding to the city closely behind the Newton car, and arrived at the scene of the acci- j dent in time to rescue the men from i under the car. J. M. Watson, of Chadbourn, and his son, Pete were J riding with Mr. Newton, but were thrown clear of the car when it went over the embankment into the creek. They were endeavoring to get the men out when Dr. Crouch and Bryant arrived. Mr. Newton received a bad frac ture of the left leg and the negro re ceived minor injuries. These two men were taken into Dr. Crouche's car, after first aid had been ren dered by the physician and rushed to the city and thence to Bullock's hospital. for the liver Beware cf imitations.

And that in addition to those money tri bute, the Evil Spirit, ,fire, at any minute may demand the Supreme Sacrifice of you or your family? What the Fire Loss Means Statistics are the most part dry and uninteresting $500,000,000 average annual U. S. fire loss; 15, 000 lives lost by fire in the United States and Canada every year. These figures, unless interpreted, may not mean much, but Suppose the fire loss were stopped for one year (authorities agree that most fires are readily preventable) and the money saved were distribut ed to 500 lucky citizens. If you were among this 500 you would re ceive $1,000,000. Now all this may sound like a fairy story, but it's a fact that fires can be prevented, and that savings through fire prevention will put money in your pocket.A nd in addition to direct money savings, Fire prevention will prevent the loss of jobs and safeguard homes from fire. Passing the Hat The fire insurance companies re imburse the individual for property destroyed by fire, but they do not pay the fire loss. They are merely the collectors and distributors of the fire tax, passing the hat, and making you contribute, willing or not. You pay, even though you in sure no property, because concealed in the cost of everything you buy is a percentage to cover the accumulat ed insurace. Have You Ever Been Trapped in a Burning Building ? Now for another side of the pic ture. Have you ever had the experi ence of being trapped in a burning building? Have your clothes ever been burned off your back? If you are one of the few who have had such experiences and lived to tell the tale you leed read no further, this story is not intended for you. But what of the thousands who have not survived? What can be done to stop the increase of their numbers? Can you be sure that you or one of your family may not be summoned this very day to join their ranks? The call comes to someone every thirty five minutes. The Three Fire Lines Fires can be prevented, and Fire Prevention Week is intended to drive this fact to the general public. It is the rallying time to strengthen our three lines are: the first line, not allowing fires to start; the second line, minimizing combustible material and making- construction such that if fire does start it can spread; the Ibird line, extinguishing fires after they have assumed serious propor tions. It is dangerous tactics to rely solely upon our third and last line, but that is what we have oeea doinu-, with grievous results. Let us drive the enemy, fire, back to where he belongs, well beyond ouri front line trenches! And let us strengthen and maintain all three ines, not only for Fire Prevention Week, but for 52 weeks m the year.
