Sudden
Death
'A CURLY'IIAmED. innocent lit-
tle girl 6f 8 years was crossing
a street In a Texas metropolis. Hho
was skipping along with1 a bottle of
milk for her breakfast and came to
a dangerous intersection. The city’s
traffic police had placed a warning
sign there. Autoists were supposed
to look each way before coming In-
to this street, ■ '
But a young motorist, intent up-
on reaching an unimportant objec-
tive further down the street,
thoughtlessly entered this intersec-
tion at the wrong moment and
Without looking.
His automobile felled the Inno-
cent little girl. A tragic death en-
sued, a family was thrown into
mourning—-and all because a young
motorist was not safety conscious.
In public school ho had n<Tt rye-
r/er-
cel#ed an auxiliary course if)’ .safe
driving—and the golden rule 1 of
conduct had not been properly im-
pressed upon him. His own life was
blighted with the dreadful memory
of his thoughtless accident.
"Driver's license laws must be
strengthened," Pierce Brooks of
Dallas, President of the Texas
Safety Council, said in discussing
this tragedy. "Responsibility of
drivers nuist be impressed upon the
young man and woman of high
school age. The great rosponsibil-.
lty that is theirs when"*they are
behind the wheel of the modern
powerful automobile must, be im-
pressed, Vividly upon them. This
ye^tv 2,000 Texans will die from
automobile accidents. Ail these
could be averted. A large proportion
of them will be innocent children."
Driver's license laws should be
uniform in all the states and their
revocation should be for thought-
less driving, speeding, drinking or
operating cars without adequate
, brakes, tires and lights.

SUDDEN
DEATH
"J^RINK, drive; and die.”
KtaMstics reveal with startling;
clearness that two things are the
cause of a vast majority of the
highway accidents in this state and
nation.
These, two things are driving
while drinking and excessive speed
with faulty equipment. . 1
Leading in'the cause of fatal and
near-fatal accidents,' undoubtedly
may be listed those*who drive while
drinking—and this does not mean
driving drunk. .
Statistics reveal, and the Georgia
Safety Commission, for example, is
stressing the fact that the driver
with two drinks or two bottles of
beer is a more dangerous driver
than the one who would come under
the classification of'drunk.
At first thought this might seem
an extravagant statement. But have

Texas, the first state to submit a
program of game restoration last
year when the Pittman-Robertson
Act went into effect, is leading the
nation in the work. A report by Ira
N. Gabrlelson, Chief bf the U. S.
Bureau of Biological Survey, ad-
ministrator of the project, points
out that only $70,000 has been
spent to date by the cooperating
states, and of that >sum approxi-
mately $30,000 has been used by the
Lone Star State in furthering game
restoration. -

Coyotes, known as the most canny
animal In Texas, get along! One
hungry old coyote must have found
the foraging rather tough recently,
but he coped with the situation by
catching and eating fish, believe it
or not!

cosa, sa*v a coyote at the edge of
the Canadian river, but paid little
attention after the animal sneaked
away. However, they saw the same

imately the same time the follow-

big game animal is protected the

As those of you know who have
traveled the world with him through
this column, your reporter is no
great shakes as an economist. He
holds to a quaintly- outmoded belief
that when money is spent, some-
body, somewhere, sometime, has to
earn it by work. And he has dis-
covered that the man who pays the
piper: calls ’the *tune.
These reflections cropped- out
from reading widely scattered news
dispatches. One was a plea,' voiced
by leading educators meeting out
in San Francisco, for federal aid to
public schools. Maybe it’s needed.
Maybe it would be a good thing.
But one can’t help wondering, idly,
what tunes Uncle Sam will call. If
he helps pay the bill, Your reporter
has observed that, whenever the old
gentleman in Washington shells out
money for anything, he insists on
running the show.
During the last ten years, accord-
ing to Excelsior, the Mexican Con-
gress has "approved projects' for
constructing roads, schools, Irriga-

to the amount of 3,200,000,000 pesos.
Of course," added the Mexican
Journal, “nothing has been done be-
cause there is no money. So the de-
crees are pigeonholed.” To tax the
public and please the public at the
same time Is riot given mortal man,
as legislative bodies on both sides
of the Rio Grande have found out
to their sorrow. Doesn’t matter
whether it is expansively voting
