The accident record in almost all
other Industries has steadily de-
creased, due to untiring efforts
that have impregnated a knowledge
and a consciousness of safety in
the minds of workers.
Contrast this with the autothbbile
accident situation. Last year motor
vehicles were responsible for the
deaths of 31,500 persons—a new
high record. This represented a 13
per cent increase over the 1928
record, while automobile registra-
tions gained but eight per cent.
Motor vehicle accidents lead all
other causes of accidental death by
a wide margin.

attractive advertising matter which
is always paid for by their custo-
mers. The “home merchant” may
put in a large stock of goods of the
best quality and may have every-
thing in stock from a coffee mill
to a threshing machine which he
can and does sell as cheap as the
mail order house, but if he never
makes the fact known in any other
way except by telling the few
people who voluntarily come in to
look around or stop to look in the
show window where he has stack-
ed up a few of tbe most attractive
bargains, he will lose out sooner
or later. Dull times will reign su-
preme In the neighborhood of his
store while the mail order house is
doing a big business in the town.
About the only sure cure for a
bad case of bad times is a liberal
amount of printers' irik judiciously
spread over blink paper, and the
home merchahk'lwho fails to apply
the remedy niay expect to be troub-
led considerably by dull times and
the mail order germ.
P. S.—We have plenty of blank
paper and printers’ ink on hand.—

On the other hand, it w/is claimed
that women would be i Aarpened and
contaminated; they ' yvould neglect
their homes, husband*, and child-
ren, quarrel so violently over poll
tics that many divorces would fol-
low.
The impartial observer laughs to-
day, as he views the non-fulfilment
of both kinds of predictions. He
finds the homes as peaceful and
well regulated as ever. If there is
more marital infelicity, it is not
because the women are absorbed
in .politics. Indeed, the main criti-
cism of their political relations, is
that they are too indifferent, and
that it is hard to induce them to
vote.
And on the other hand, if politics
; is less hard boiled, the ordinary ob-
server fails to nolice it. In many
jeases women’s point of view has
(been done good, in many instances
| their inexperience of politics has
iled to mistakes. One is inclined
: to say with wise old Ecclesiastes
the preacher, “the thing which hath
I been is that which shall be, and
! there is nothing new under the
1 sun."
! The majority of women apparent-
ly wanted the suffrage As life in
i America is an equal partnership,
the men felt that therefore they
| were entitled to have it, regardless
| of what results might follow. Both
; women and men are gradually learn-
|ing. to vote with judgment, though
| both serxes neglect political duties
| to a deplorable degree. But any-
1 way, if tilings go wrong now, the
imen don’t have to take'the whole
blame.

RIALTO THEATRE BRIEFS
*’Everyone seeing the Picture “Our
Blushing Brides” at the Rialto, pro-
claimed it a sensation. But then,
it must be considered than Hall In-
dustries are giving the people of
Sinton something to brag about.
We think that with the Rialto
offering the class of pictures they
are from night to night, there can
be no reason why anyone should go
elsewhere for Picture entertainment
and that the Trade-At-Home method
should be observed.
We are proud that Sinton has
such a place of entertainment and
to keep it so we must offer our
earnest support for our own enjoy-
ment.

Just as we go to press, news
was received .that the United Pipe
Line Corporation of Houston has
decided to pipe gas into Odem. In
a letter received by R. G. McDaniel,
President of the local Chamber of
Commerce, the company plans to
start construction of the main line
from Sodville in the near future.
The work on the supply lines in
the city will be carried on at the
same time the main line is being
constructed.—Odem Star.
A box supper was given Friday
night, September 26, at the Adams
High school auditorium for the ben-
efit of the Athletic fund and for
play ground equipment for the pri-
mary and intermediate grades. The
crowd present was rather small,
but all who were there must have
accumulated a surplus of cash this
fall, for the gross receipts were
*45.90. This amount will go a long
way in getting the playground ac-
tivities underway, and will mean
more work for the faculty and more
play for the pupils, since the Adams
School system is going to require
more supervised play during the
recess periods this year.
