Xl-xt month a grcat "motorcade"

will be composed of drivers from all
of the 48 states. Each will have
bron chosen to represent his >4 ate

No one can; be selected who has not
: laad ten years of driving experience,
covering1 at; least 50,000 miles, .and
his accident record inust show a clean

The-e' 48": motorists, representing
t!c- very piqk-of all the drivers of
America, are to converge upon New
Voi'k in August for a highway safety
convention, sponsored by the C. L T.
Safpty Foundation atid co-?perated in
J>y the American Automobile Associa
tion and the National Safety Council.
"iViacs Avill lie giv-n to the drivers
who come tho longest di tLance and
arrive without a sepatch on thv'ir
fenders,
This seems to mo like .a mighty
naefttf mow toward dramatizing the
importance of careful driving. It
ought to stimulate public interest in
the effort to make motoring safe.
SHIPS . ./ . . our program
The "Gridiron Flag" of oar coun
try will float again on the seven seas
as it has not been seen since war
I days, if the purposes of tl$e new ship
subsidy bill, passed in tjhe last hour
Jot" Congress, are carried out. In
this new law ia * Federal ILoritime
' Authority was set up, witjh power to
'snjbsidize and supervise the construc
tion; and operation of American ships
flor foreign trade. Two hundred new
idiipa - in seven years at .a cost
. of $350,000,000 is the building pro
gram. I would like to see it even big
l?w." ? r
? The new law provides for sub
sidies to ship operators to equalize
tho difference between wages plaid to
' American officers aiid sailors and the
sftu-vailiou paid by ship own
ers of other nations.
I hope oce result "will be to fill
American yoilth asjain with the de
sire to go to sea, and that Old Glory
will again become a familiar sight ii
every seaport of the world.

Drought Effect
Largely Localized,
Says Wallace
Washington, July 28?Although
official Washington is as ''election
minded" as ever, a goqd (leal of
jxains is being .l.iken to avoid the ap
;H*arain;<! of putting pressure on the
Word has gone out from the
powers tJa,:. oil agencies of govern

l,t:-nu tl:r,v are instructed to s:iv

Tlil* itilormatioji about the drought
*itavJtti<i?i received by 1,he Dcpm'l
men! of Asrrienlture is summed up by
ulici-ils of "hal department! .some
what as follows: The damage is high
ly localized as compared with 1934.
There is adequate supply of e alt tie
?Wder and ;'here his boen. no serious
mpairment of the nation's food sup
dv, although higher prices for dairy
ind poultry seem possible! The do
utrlmeut- still holds to its estimate
of $7,500,000,000 as this year's farm
noomo, jioiuring out thalt tibere has
htu no serious impairment in the
irea south of South Dakota aud west
?jl' tJ;e Mississippi, whicth region w-is
the hardest hit by the 1934 drought.
The nesu social-economic drive of
the Adminifltration, which will be
oujnc vigt>j\>ii? if Air. Itoosevelt is
? e-elocted, will be in iho tiiiecjlioit
of building up cooperative enterpris
es.
For many jcara under this and pre
vious Aciunnistx^ttiuojns there have
ueen governmental efforts ta encour
age producer cooperatives, some *t
~hem successful. iNow the interest of
iVashingion is centered upon oooHuta
ei cooperatives. Recent iillanm?a by
/reaiami Kooocveit, *uwi ttecretttvy
Wallace have emphasized thai angte

The president's commission, which
iias gone to Europe to study cfnoptt
ilLive developments, consists otf four
.ulhusia^ts on consumer cooperatives

lhe essence of Mis new law, which

is increasing .at) a sensational rate,
while the government silver purchas

ward .a steady rise in commodity
prices of all kinds.
Interest increases in the struggle
between the two national labor lead
