More Than Half
Of Highway Death*
Occur at Night
While four-fifths of all traffic
Is in the daytime, more than one
half of all fatal accidents occur
after sunset D M Diggs brings
this startling fact home In an
article on “Lighting the Travel-
er's Way" in the April issue of
Texas Parade
"Speeding though the darkness
at 50 miles an hour, 73 feet a sec-
ond. the night driver already has
^two strikes chalked against him
/on Fate's scoreboard writes Mr
Diggs
“A dark object suddenly looms
150 feet ahead The driver has
Just two seconds to see to com-
prehend the danger, to make a
dedeision. to take his foot from
the accelerator and slam it on
the brake, to judge the size and
direction T>f the object, to blow
the horn and turn the steering
wheel The srream of brakes, a
crushing impact is the inevitable
answer. For the driver -if he is
the lucky eight out of each 100
night accident victims—there
may be only a wrecked car
shocked nerves and minor in-
juries. But his chances of land-
ing in a morgue are 92 OUT OF
100’........
“The warning is too brief The
present average automobile head
lights enable the average driver
to see the average dark' object
about 150 feet ahead A car
traveling at 50 miles an hour
travels from 186 to 243 feet be-
tween the time the warning is
transmitted to the brain by the
eyes and the car can be brought
to a standstill Bv then it is too
late, the damage is done
"Night driving is at least four
times more dangerous than, day
driving There are several thou-
sand more accidents during the
daylight hours, but they actually
result in fewer fatalities Death
truly favors nocturnal prowling."

Health Notes
AUSTIN —Typhoid tmmunlsa-
have resulted In a typhoid death
rate decrease of 3.7 per 100,000
population in Texas during the
past five years, according to a
statement by Dr Oeo. W Cox.
State Health Officer
The typhoid death rttte for
Texas, was 9.9 In 1933 as con-
trasted with 62 In 1938 while
the National decrease of 1.4 over
the same period. Statistically,
Texas typhoid deaths were reduc
ed twice that of the nation over
that period, though the Nation-
al death rate from typhoid con-
tinued to be materially lower
than that of Texas.
Unabated efforts to have a
population immunized against
typhoid will reduce the rate even
lower Typhoid fever has been
eliminated in our Army and
Navy through vaccination. The
typhoid vaccine ts not a serum.
Preventive treatment of typhoid
fever consist* of three small hy-
podermic shots given every five
to seven days until three Injec-
tions have been given Vaccina-
tion protects you from taking ty-
phoid from two to three years.
Consult your family physician
today In regard to typhoid pre-
vention. Invest In typhoid pro-
tection against this often fatal
disease This form of protection
insures you and your family
against possible long confine-
ment, economic loss and e’ven
death
Vacation months you may-
drink contaminated milk, water,
or food containing the typhoid
bacilli and contract the disease
unknowingly In selecting a
place for your vacation, choose
one where you know the water
and milk supply are pure. Be
sure that the kitchen and dining
room are screened to protect
food from flies. When camping,
it ls best to boil water to use for
drinking unless you know that it
is pure Clear sparkling spring
water may be polluted by drain-
age
Question* and
Answers
Q How can I keep my windows
from rattling'5
A This can be done either by
removing the stop or molding
which holds the ash In place and
resetting It closer to the sash or
by installing metal weatherstrip-
ping would be the better way, as
it accomplishes a saving in fuel
as well as stopping the rattling
Q Without going to the ex-
pense of extensive Insulation,
how can I make the upper part
of my one-and-one-half-story
home cool in summer?
A Provide large louvers In
each gable end of the roof to cir-
culate the air In the space be-
tween ceiling and roof On hip
roofs provide louver dormers.
The louvers should be built as
high as possible

MAKE PASTURES GO FARTHER
By T. C. RICHARDSON, Secretary
Breeder-Feeder Association
Farmers of the Southwest are
adopting pasture rotation at a
gratifying rate, but a great many
still allow the livestock to range
at will all over one arge enclos-
ure. The result ls good for nei-
ther the pasture nor the animals
Parts will be overgrazed—the
most palatatye grass, the areas
nearer water and shade—while
others parts grow rank and
coarse, and when forced off the
preferred grass by its shortage,
the stock will find the neglected
forage both less nutritious and
even less palattaljfe than if it had
been grazed at the proper stage
of growth
Dividing the pastures and graz
lng them In rotation gives the
palatable forage a chance to re-
cover, make seed, and compete
better with weeds. Restricting
the animals temporarily to a
smaller enclosure encourages the
more even grazing of the whole
pasture, so that new and more
nutritious growth occurs.
It goes without saying that
water, and if passible, shade,
must be accessible In' each en-
clasure Partition fences should
be run with reference to the
water suuply and convenience of
access, rather than rigidly con-
forming to equality of acreage in
the different dhlslqns or the
shortest possible fence lines
If permanent fences are not
desired, the electric fence serves
the purpose at a minimum of la-
bor in building and In materials.
One or two wires electrically en-
ergized 1s the popular form of
temporary fence, and the neces-
sary equipment ls not expensive.
Current from a wind generator
will do as well as that from a
high-line, and if high-line cur-
rent Is available It must be ade-
quately safeguarded by standard
methods of "stepping down" the
current.
Both temporary and perman-
ent pastures go farther when di-
vided and grazed in rotation. The
frequency of changing from one
pasture to another ts glvemed by
cbndltlons At the tbuf. and each
observing farmer knows better
than anyone else can tell him
when to transfer the stock. The
condition of the pasture and the
condition of the animals are a
better
time
ed.
Where sheep and cattle are
both kept, rotation grazing Is
even more Important than when
only one land or stock grazes the
same pastures. Let the sheep
follow the cattle, and they help
to hold weeds down, but there
should be a period of rest for the
pasture after sheep have grased

tie. but should not be run In the
same pasture with sheep, espec-
ially when there are young lambs
a.s'an accident may lead to the
hogs learning meat-eating
habits. And everyone knows that
playful mules are a constant
threat to small animals, and
should be kept in a separate pas-
ture We not only need more
and better pastures 1 nthe South-
west. but we need to so fence
them that we can get the most
out of them. Along with perma-
nent pasture Improvement, tem-
porary summer pastures of sudan
grass, and ample water facilities,
fencing for rotation grazing ls a
part of an all-round grazing pro-
gram.
Pastures are the foundation for
successful livestock husbandtry,
and livestock are the key to a
balanced and well distributed
labor-load and farm income. The
fellow who has more livestock
than grass and feed ls soon in
trouble, but the fellow who has
more grass than cattle ls on the
safe side The Ideal, of course, ls
to have enough livestock to util-
ize otherwise unsalable forage,
and to get the most out of It calls
for good management of the
grazing

Electric Eye
Counts Cars
er flUkle than any arbitrary
i flmlt that might be niggest-
An electric eye for counting
traffic on the roads has been de-
veloped by the State Highway
Department, according to Julian
Montgomery, state highway engi-
neer. While this ls not the first
device for counting traffic to be
developed, it has many advan-
tages over earlier models.
The machine ls operated by
batteries and can be set up at
any point on the road within a
few minutes time. A passing car
breaks a beam o flight and caus-
es a dial to register the count.
A camera built Into the machine
automatically take* a picture of
the dial every hour. The photo-
graphic film supplies a perma-
nent record of the number of
can that passed during each
hour the machine was In opera-
tion. The machine runs conUn-
ously without attention for a
week.
The traffic counter was devel-
oped by the Highway Planning
Survey for making counts of
traffic on highways and county
read* This method is reported
to be much cheaper than having
a man count the vehicle*, as was
formerly done.

in the
years after ttxe close of the Civil
War when the Missouri outlaws
were robbing banks and terroriz-
ing railroad companies. Pinker-
ton Is a third cousin of Allen
Pinkerton, founder of the Pink-
erton detective agency, whose
operatives went on the trail of
the bandits during the period.
Back in the "fO’s, two of the
Youngers, Jim and John fought
It out with two Pinkerton agents,
Captain Allen and Edwin B.
Daniels, and when the shooting
was over, John Younger and
Daniels lay dead and Allen had
received a mortal wound. The
original Jim Yotmgey escaped,
later participated In the famous
raid of the James Oang on the
First National Bank of North-
field, Minn., survived terrible
wounds to serve a penitentiary
sentence, was paroled on good
behavior, and finally committed
apologists even than.
Yet not until this year did a
Younger and a Pinkerton ever
fraternize. Up at the Teachers
College where they areastudents,
Jim Nat Younger and Allen
Pinkerton are good friends.
Pinkerton admits that he does-
n't know a clue from a lady’s
hat, but like old Allan and all the
other Pinkertons, he Is resigned
to a rapidly approaching bald-
ness. As a student member of
the Denton fire department.
Younger rides no bucking bronco
but the hurricane deck of a fire
truck. Neither boy takes much
stock in the old sagas of the Mis-
souri outlaws.
"Whatever Younger blood I
have isn’t In my trigger finger,”
says Jim Nat Younger.
