U. S. Motorists Learn
To Drive More Safely
CHICAGO.—American motorists
are learning to drive more safely,
according to the 1949 edition of the
National Safety Council’s statisti-
cal yearbook, “Accident Facts.” .
The 1948 traffic volume was the
greatest in the nation’s history—8
per cent greater than 1947. Yet the
mileage death rate—deaths per
100,000,000 vehicle miles—was the
lowest in the nation’s history. The
8.0 rate Was 30 per cent lower than
the average rate of 11.5 through
World War II. If the higher rate
had prevailed last year, 14,000
more lives would have been lost.
However, there still were 32,000
traffic deaths in 1948—only 700
fewer than in 1947.

How to Solve
Floor Problems
Floors in a recreation room have
to serve a practical purpose, and
the floor covering may be one of
three: concrete or cement, wood
over concrete and linoleum or as-
phalt tile.
If the floor is poor, but dry, and
if you do not want to bring up the
cost of doing this room, the cement
or concrete may be painted with
paints designed for just such a
purpose. Paint the floor in a color
that will harmonize with the furn-
ishings of the room.
For the room designed as an
extra living room, or, one that will
be used for dancing, the best choice
is wood over cement or concrete.
Stained and waxed floors are best
for dancing; other colors may be
used for a more general purpose
room.
Asphalt tile and linoleum are
considered flooring rather than
floor coverings, and both offer good
possibilities for the type of room
under consideration.

A carpenter fell down and broke
his leg, and his wife called the fam-
ily doctor. Unfortunately, the doc-
tor happened to be in a big hurry
on that particular day. He did such
a bad job of setting the broken leg
that it never did heal up properly.
Later the carpenter sued the doctor
for negligence. The doctor ad-
mitted he had been careless “just
this once,” but brought a host of
witnesses to prove that ordinarily
he was a first-class physician.
However, the court held the doctor
liable.

U.S. Would Forego
Recruiting in War
BAYONNE, N.J. Military authori-
ties are planning in case of war to
minimize the manpower problems
of World War II by using selective
service exclusively, with no recruit-
ing.
This was disclosed by Brig. Gen.
A. A. Kessler Jr., director of pro-
curement and industrial planning in
the office of the deputy chief of
staff for materiel at air force head-
quarters.
General Kessler spoke at a con-
ference ,on the supply logistics of
industrial mobilization at the naval
supply corps school here, held
under the auspices of the national
security industrial association.
The association is an outgrowth
of the old navy industrial associa-
tion. Several hundred industrialists
attended. Officers of all the services
took part in the program. This was
an example, some of them asserted,
that unification was making prog-
ress in the solution of practical
problems despite the bitter contro-
versies going on elsewhere over
roles and mission to be played in
case of war.
General Kessler said the elimina-
tion of recruiting would mean that
men would be called only when
needed and when equipment for
training and operations was ready.
He said military and civilian au-
thorities were working on plans to

young lady’s chagrin, her parents
opened the letter and read it—be-
fore she came home from work.
She was so embarrassed that she
.filed suit against the company for
defaming her character. However,
the court rejected her claim on the
ground that the company had writ-
ten the letter to her alone—not to
anybody else. The judge said it
wasn’t to be expected tht the par-
ents of an 18-year-old girl—“almost
an adult”—would open her mail
without permission.

A passenger train rolled into a
depot and came to a gradual halt.
As it did so, a 76-year-old man stand-
ing by the exit lost his balance and
fell against a railing. He got a
bad gash on his head and later
sued for damages. But the court
decided that the man himself was
at fault, for standing up too soon.
The judge pointed out that, no mat-
ter how carefully an engineer stops
a train, anyone who is standing up
will have a tendency to tip over
because of the law of inertia.
learned' that word “duty,” too,—
when she considers the paid bills,
the holiday plans ahead, the sweet-
ness of achievement — well, she
may not know that “duty” is be-
hind all this, and much higher
words behind duty, but she is deep-
ly content.
A husband, into the very fibre of
whose childhood a sense of duty
has been instilled, goes straight
ahead through the trying crises of
married years. He doesn’t waste
money on cards or horses, be-
cause he owes Margaret honesty
in handling the budget.
And after awhile the flowers of
duty begin to bloom in amazing
profusion. The world begins to see
that the Adams are fine people.
Dutiful persons may have their
dull days—their dull months and
even years, in youth. But gradual-
ly they prove the wisdom of taking
this matter of duty seriously. Mid-
dle age becomes a true harvest
time. No serious selfish mistakes
are back of them; there could not
be, for duty to others is supremely
not duty to oneself. No broken
homes, bewildered separated chil-
dren, no alimony squabbles or
family law-suits. None of the things
that make age lonely and bitter
and ugly. Duty prepares a healthy
life for her followers.
No, Marie Louise, duty isn’t dis-
agreeable. It’s like a great foundry
furnace, black and soot-crusted
outside, but inside pure roaring
flame. Your mother-in-law is over-
stepping all rules of decency and
kindness—yes, and her own duty,
too—in harassing you so constant-
ly, but it is just possible that being
very young, and finding yourself
so early burdened with great re-
sponsibilities, she is anxious to get
you on the right track.
But don’t be afraid of the word
duty. We need it in every phase of
life.

worrying about nursery psychoses
and fixations and inhibitions and
allergies might find a short-cut so-
lution to her troubles in that sim-
ple word.
Duty means, of course, the thing
you ought to do, for the general
good. For the good of the family,
the commonwealth, the nation.
Duty consists of a thousand small
acts, perhaps not important apart,
but extremely important when tak-
en together.
Thousands of years of painfully
achieved civilization are back of
that word. A husband’s duty, a
wife’s duty, an employee’s duty, an
employer’s duty. Law and order
only mean that men and women
are expected to do their duty, and
will be held responsible if they
don’t.
You and I owe a duty to every
human being with whom our daily
lives bring us in touch. The post-
man, the bus driver, the children’s
teachers, everyone from a neigh-
bor’s baby to the old men sitting
in the sun at the poorhouse, has
that claim on us.
Sometimes mothers today look
on anxiously as their children’s
marriages go on the rocks. “Bob
and Marjorie have everything in
the world to make them happy,”
they say bewilderedly. “What do
youngsters expect of marriage,
anyway?”
Bob and Marjorie go to psychia-
trists. They are not apt ever to
suspect that that little word. “duty”
holds the answer. Neither one has
ever been taught what it means.
Need Not Be Angel
A wife who does her duty need
not be superhuman; she need not
be' an angel. She has merely to
think of husband, children, friends,
parents, school, her dressmaker,
dentist, weekly helper, in terms of
“what is my duty?”
Such a wife weathers the psycho-
pathic perils of the monotony of
marriage without any outside help.
She has her bad times, perhaps,
but when she looks at her peaceful
happy home, her normal, happy
children—who, by the way, have

How To Overcome Some
Architectural Problems
If your recreation room is going

probably run into the problem of

‘ separated by walls or partitions
when the unit was constructed.
Draw a plan of the basement,
then block off the furnace. Include
blocking off the coal bin, too, or
your oil tanks, whichever may be
the case.
These may be partitioned off
with wall board, but you’ll natural-
ly have to leave a door to get into
the unit.
Walls are usually in need of
some kind of finishing, if the room
is to be in the basement. Here again,
use wallboard, or if you want to
cut the cost, paneling which simu-
lates wood. A still less expensive
f treatment uses wallpaper that
'simulates some of the natural

sketched at the left employs
clean cut contrasting color by
means of a sewed-in stripe,
and at the same time makes a
perfect background for a beau-
tifully decorative choker to be
worn at the jewel neckline. At
the right is a design that is rep-
resenttive of the smartly tail-

MOTHER ■ IN ■ LAW is a
- - great one for talking about
‘duty,’ writes a .very young wife
from New Mexico. “I would like to
know what ‘duty’ is. It has a very
disagreeable sound to me. The only
connection I ever had with it is
that on some occasion or other,
England expected every man to do
his duty. To my husband’s mother
it means everything disagreeable.
“I was an only child, motherless
from babyhood,” the letter goes
on, “and spoiled, I supposed, by a
rich father. Most of Papa’s money
is gone, now, however, and Phil
and I and our baby live very
quietly. My husband’s mother lives
next door, and as I say, she is
always at me about duty. My duty
to Phil, to her, to Johnnie, to my
neighbors, church, everything.
What is duty, anyway? I never had
a mother’s guidance, and I really
want to know who makes these
laws about duty and what they
mean. Phil is 33, I am now 18, and
the baby is seven months,” finishes
this artless letter.
Word Seldom Heard
Your letter, Marie Louise, re-
minds me that one doesn’t often
hear this little word nowadays. But
it used to be the very backbone of
everything we were told, as chil-
dren, to do. Many a mother today,
The trend toward using vel-
vet as a trimming is illustrated
in this New York suit of ger-
anium colored herringbone
tweed, designed for fall and
winter. Note the touches of
velvet on the lapels of the suit
as well as on the flaps of the
pockets. A full - length fold
down the center of the skirt in
back gives walking ease.

T OST FAMILIES agree they
- - should have game, hobby or
work rooms, but little is done about
■ it for the simple reason that most
people are afraid of the cost. As
long as you have the space, and
most people do, it seems a shame
not to have such a room, either for
youngsters, adults or both.
The cost of these rooms runs
much less than any other room in
(the home, and the hours of pleas-
huure they can provide can usually
be reconciled with the budget since
little outside, or more expensive
entertainment need be provided.
Much of the work on these rooms
can be done by members of the
family, and the materials required
are not usually expensive, or, at
least, they need not be. Most of us
have enough odd furniture or out-
door furniture that can be used in
the room, so this need be no prob-
lem.
Actually your imagination is the
only limit as to what can be done
with the room. With a few pointers
4o apply to your particular prob-
lem, and some guides to point the
way, make it a project to convert
attic or basement into a recreation
room for the family. You’ll love
doing it.
Decide first on the nature of the
room. Some people like it for
games which cannot be played in
the other rooms, like ping pong;
others like it for music or snack
