Wf DO OUR PART
CARE ON HIGHWAYS
Last year throughout the United
States 29,000 persons were killed
and more than 900,000 were injured
in automobile accidents which oc-
curred in practically every commun-
ity in our country.
Since it is common knowledge
that this record of casualties is
largely due to the misuse of the
streets and highways by too many
drivers and pedestrians, the month
of September has been set aside by
many States as a period in which to
demonstrate just how many lives
and limbs may be saved by the ex-
ercise of more care and considera-
tion on the part of drivers and pe-
destrians.
No day passes without many driv-
ers hurrying through intersections,
passing other cars improperly, driv-
ing at too rapid a speed, or failing in
other respects to use the streets and
highways in a safe manner. No day
passes without many pedestrians
crossing in the middle of the block,
darting out into the streets from be-
hind parked vehicles, crossing inter-
sections against signal lights, and in
other ways using the streets and
highways improperly.
The consequences of such acts are
the deaths and the non-fatal injuries
which occur in our midst and in ev-
ery town and city of the United
States. The improper practices occur
at such a frequency that it is impos-
sible for the police or other authori-
ties to even begin to cope with the
situation, inasmuch as it is apparent
that a greater degree of safety in
the use of our streets and highways
can only be realized as people, of
their own free will, cooperate among
themselves to that end.
In keeping with the motives of the
country-wide street and highway
safety movement to be made in Sep-
tember, I urge upon drivers and pe-
destrians alike in this city to set ex-
amples of public conduct in the use
of streets and highways which will
insure the greatest possible safety,
not only for themselves while they
are on the streets and highways, but
for all others, and I request that
special attention be given by the
proper officials of the city in the en-
forcement of laws and ordinances
which have been designed for the
protection of all.
Mayor.

More than a million dollars a year
are mulcted from unsuspecting
holders of bonds and other invest-
ment securities in Southwest Texas
by "racketeer” security salesmen,
according to information compiled
recently by members of the Texas
Rangers and legitimate security
dealers here.
Salesmen approach their victims,
usually holder of a public utility
stock, tell them of the depreciation
in value of this stock and urge them
to trade it off for some other stock
or bond, which they say offers a
much better chance for erturns.
Wildcat brewery stocks are quite
popular as offerings to replace the
utility stock or other investment se-
curities being held. The salesmen
paint glowing pictures of the future
of the brewing industry in view of
the increasing wet vote throughout
the nation. Prospects, not realizing
the great number of brewery bonds
and stocks being floated through un-
listed channels, are captivated by
the salemen’s picture and trade |

day. The rooms were attractively
decorated with queens wreath and
other summer flowers for the oc-
casion. A green and white color
scheme was featured in the table ac-
cessories as well as the hand painted
tallies, beautifully done by the host-
ess, which were ship silhousettes. In
the games played, high score for la-
dies was presented to Mrs. J. L.
Johnson, a hand painted silhouette
picture. A deck of cards was pre-
sented to Dr. Cary Poindexter for
gentlemen’s high score prize. A wall
vase was given Mrs. Alfred Roth-
lishberger for low score.
When the birthday cake was cut it
revealed many fortunes, creating
much merriment. As each guest de-
parted they were presented with
beautiful nosegays.
The personel included Dr. and
Mrs. Cary Poindexter, Mr. and Mrs.
