McDaniel I NORTH CAROLINA AUTO SAFETY INSPECTION Our State has bejruu the New Tear with one of the most con structive government programs undertaken since our highways werebuilt. This is seen in the inspection of all vehicles that are licensed to travel the highways and registered in North Carolina. With so many accidents occurring on the States highways, this periodic inspection of all automobiles and trucks as to mechanicalj safety and other features of safety in driving, the State highway j commission is trying to cut down the number of persons rushing j around —just accidents on their way to happen. The inspection j will doubtless cause many persons inconvenience as automobiles! will have to be put in proper order before permission to drive j them on North Carolina Highways is given; however, so far every- j one is welcoming this program with a great deal of enthusiasm: and hearty cooperation. It is cheap insurance, both life and liability. Get your car inspected soon—then drive within the! speed limits set and drive safely—the life you save may be your own. OPEN LETTER TO A DRIVER WHO SPEEDS The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are help- i ful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you. The world is what you are. I saw you barely miss a little boy on a tricycle this afternoon and heard you yell, ''Get the H— out of the way! Don't you know any better than to ride in the street!" He didn't answer because he hasn't learned to talk very well yet, so I'm going to answer for him. No, the little boy doesn't know any better than to ride his tri cycle in the street. He has been warned not to, but little boys, don't always heed warnings. Some adults don't either, especially | traffic warnings: for example, the one limiting the speed of automobiles. I'm going to tell you something about that little boy. He has a mother who endured considerable inconveniences, anxiety and; suffering to bring him into the world. He has a father who has; worked hard and made many sacrifices to make him healthy andi happy, 'rhe supreme purpose of their lives is to have their little boy grow up to be a useful man. Now stop a minute and think. If you should kill a child how : would you feel facing his parents ? What excuse could you give; them for having robbed them of their dearest possession? More important what excuse could you possible offer Him whose King-; dom is made up of little children t Children, my hasty friend, were here long before you or your { automobile were thought of. All the automobiles on earth are not j worth the life of one little boy. We don't know what that little boy may some day be, but we can't spare a single little boy on this; street —A DAD. The quickest way to wipe out a friendship is to sponge on it j Government Bonds offer the safest of all investments and a liberal income return. . I' Books are the true levelers. They give to all who faithfully i use them the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and the j greatest of our race.— W. E. Ckanning ! I never work better than when lam inspired by anger. When I am angry I can write, pray, and preach well; for then my | whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, , and all mundane vexations and temptations depart— Luther |, , Pay as little attention to discouragement as possible. Plough . ahead as a steamer, does, rough or smooth, rain or shine. To | carry your cargo and make your port is the point— Maltkie D. , BabcocJt WHILE YOU SPEAK! If you make a IG-minute safety speech—a persons probably will be acci dentally killed and 200 injured while you talk. Costa will amount to $lBO,OOO.
