GRATITUDE
In people who stand out as superior people; friendship is
stonger than self esteem; love is stronger than hate; and
gratitude is stronger, much stronger than envy.
Gratitude is not always the easy way. It is entirely
foreign to those who are very self-opioniated and who very
much approve of themselves.
It is easy to be grateful to parents who give us love and
care—the friends who stand by us thru lean years as well
as full ones—but gratitude should be much broader than this.
It should extend to every honest person we know—to authors
of good books; to musicians, to artists, to the man of courage,
to anyone who brings us an inspiration to rise above the
sordid things of life, and to seek and to find that which is
beautiful, that which is great, that which is good.
It is easy, also, to forget our benefactors and to discredit
them while we bask in the self-made sunlight of self approval.
How unjust. How degrading. He who feeds his soul on
self-pity and ingratitude forfeits much when he loses the
approval of his fellowman.
A grateful person is a friendly person; a friendly person
[ is an understanding person, ,an understanding person is a
compassionate person, a compassionate person is a great soul.
A heart filled with gratitude for the little things of life
the simple things have no room for jealousy, strife and hate.
Such an heart, such a person will surely go far toward bring-
ing comfort, joy and peace to this modem world of chaos.

closed 9,255 excessive curves, 3,303
excessive grade, 2357 intersections
with inadequate view of the inter-
secting road, and 27,948 points with
insufficient clear view of the road-
way ahead.
Mr. Montgomery explained that
these features were not re-
garded as hazardous at the time
the roads were built. Driving at
higher speeds has turned them into
danger points. Highway building
has failed to keep pace with the
motor car industry, Montgomery
admitted.
"While these danger points are
being provided with warning signs,
reflector buttons visible at night,
scientifically designed center
stripes, and other protective de-
vices, it is obvious," stated Mr.
Montgomery, "that greatly increased
expenditure for highway construc-
tion is needed to eliminate per-
manently these hazards* to the
driving public."

tant.

Growth and
Improvement in
Texas Highways
Much change n/ns muc'n im-
Iprovemsnt has come to the high-
ways of Texas ir the past ten years,
lay we have 21,034 miles of State
lighway, mort than 3,800 miles of
[ this has been constructed in the last
(decade.
Maintenance by the state now
I covers much more than seeing that
the drainage ditches are opened and
jthe riding surface satisfactory. Now
I we have siens and markers, more
[ than 130.000 of them, caution signs,
• speed limit signs, country line
I markers, city limit markers, etc. Of
5 this vast number some 75% have
[been reflectorized to make them safe
for night driving.
Two of th- greatest of the safety
[devices is the center stripping of
~ ighways and the placing on the end
[posts of all narrow bridges of re-
flecting buttons.
A noticeable improvement for the
rural route highways is the graveling
of shoulders at mailbox locations
end the providing of standard type
mail boxes.
Texas Highway
Department
Alarmed by the great increase of
highway accidents during the past
few years, the State Highway De-
partment, in co-ooperation with the
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, has
completed recently a survey of
hazardous conditions on all the
highways of the State. This survey
found a total of , 42,863 danger
spots on the 20,000 miles of State
highways, an average of over two
per mile. These facts were revealed
today by Julian Montgomery, State
Highway Engineer at Austin.
Danger points on the highways
take the form of curves that are
two sharp, grades that are too
I steep, and places where there is
insufficient view of an intersecting
I road or of roadway ahead. The

ILLIONS enjoy greater freedom from everyday aches and pains
because they have heard —and believed — Alka-Seltzer an-
nouncements over the air or have read—and believed—printed
statements about Alka-Seltzer.
To these millions the relief obtained from the use of Alka-Seltzer
is worth much more than the genuine enjoyment they get from
Alka-Seltzer broadcasts.
Why don't you try the Alka-Seltzer way to relief from Gas on
Stomach, Heartburn. Headache, Acid Indigestion and Distress of
Colds, "Morning After" and Muscular Aches and Pains?
YOU GET TWO FOLD RELIEF
First—relief from pain, because Alka-Seltzer contains an anal-
gesic, (sodium salt of aspirin).
Second—relief from the over-acid condition that is often associ-
ated with these everyday ailments, because Alka-Seltzer contains
alkalizing agents.
Get Alka-Seltzer the next time you pass
