China is aroused and ready at last to resist Japan.

Most Americans have assumed that the conquest of Ghina was Japan would advance step by step, through military force, political meddling and economic pressure, until all China was virtually a Japanese province. With the annexation of Manchuria and occupation of other northern areas, that program seemed already well under way. It was helped'by the activity of armed Communists in China, who kept the Chinese "army busy and at the same time gave Japan a pretext for intervention. President Chiang Kai Shek seemed to have failed. Diego.

Yet the fiftieth birthday of Chiang, widely celebrated, has seen the climax of efforts comparable perhaps to those of George Washington in our Revolutionary War. Recent reports from China, including that of Roy W. yards and docks can for Howard, head of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, tell of nr a floating- drydock for the notable progress in the last three years. The Communists have been suppressed. An effective, motorized army has with ea foot beam, and wm be design- been created.

Harry E. DeSilva of the Harvard Street Traffic speaking before the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators at Hot Springs; on Saturday, came to the defense of the automobile driver saying that the average American motorist is a well intentioned, fairly skillful and safe driver. "Reasons for his accidents are not because he is unskill- or foolish, but because he has certain minor failings which assume major importance when he is in a harry," DeSilva said. good deal of safety propaganda and enforcement technique does not strike a responsive chord in the average driver because he usually exercises reasonable care in driving. To help John Motorist we need to appeal to his lively interest in himself.

"We need to show him under what conditions, in what and to what degree he lacks skill" DeSilva said experiments had shown that in addition to skill a number of factors such as race, birthplace, age, education, economics and even marital status have a bearing on the tendency to accidents. Professor DeSilva's statement to the effect that minor failings assume major importance when a driver is in a brings it right back to the point that has been Stressed so many the great majority of auto- accidents are caused by too much Dr. Charles Duncan USMC.
