LABOR DAY—AND ACCIDENTS
There’s foot! for thought in the following release from state jhj-
lice headquarters in Austin, giving figures on Labor Day violence:
Unless motorists follow safe driving rules during the Labor Day
holiday period, September It, 1 and 5, Texas streets and highways
will be marked with the mangled bodies of 17 traffic crash vic-
tims, state police warned today.
Using last year’s Labor Day death figures as a guide, state
safety officials predicted that at lease 2b persons will lose their
lives in Labor Day violence. In addition to 17 traffic deaths, five
are expected to drown, two will be accidentally shot, and two will
die from other types of accidents.
Traffic deaths last year rose to 21 in the three days of celebra-
tion when thousands of vehicles carrying pleasure seekers jam-
med arterial highways.
In spite of precautions planned to forestall many tragic crashes,
slate police are forecasting that approximately 125 persons will be
injured in accidents of all types—many to be maimed for life.
State patrolmen will guard all highways closely, working double
shifts with very little rest until the holiday period has passed
Chief Fred Hickman said. Special attention will be given to
drinking drivers and those who violate the 45-mile-an-hour speed
law, and weave in and out of traffic lines.
“Fast driving means death in collisions when reasonable speeds
would cause slight injuries,” Chief Hickman admonished. “State
officers will join with local police in preventing as many casualties
as possible,”
Officials urged Texas people to guard against accidents in tIn*
homes, on hunting ami fishing trips and while swimming and boat-
ing so that death tolls may be lowered.

M \ VS SEVEN MIST VKF.S
NYellinjfton Leader: Man’s imperfections lead him to make
many mistakes in life, and the pointing out of these frailties ha-
enquired the attention of jihilosophers and reformers in till ajfes.
A rt'cent writer enumerates what he considers to be the seven
greatest mistakes of man, as follows;
1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crush-
ing ot hers dow n.
2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed
or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thin# is inijmssible because we ourselves
cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set asiili* trivial preferences in order that im-
portant things may be accomplished.
5. Nejrlectinn development and refinement of the mind by not
acquiring the habit of reading.
(». Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we
do.
7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money.
This appears to be a pretty fair diagnosis of what is the matter
with us .and everyone might profitably cheek up on himself in the
light of these suggestions.
