When such a busy day is done And I have stowed the boat away only fish to mark the day. I've caught a record-breaking string But lost the more engrossing thing.

Yet the figures of accidents show that many of these mishaps occur in the homes.

Her legs got twisted and one of them was broken. People are hurt by falling on too slippery floors. A good many, particularly the older people, fall down stairs. Some folks fall in bathtubs, the bottoms of which became slippery hen soap was used in them.

There are an infinite number of ways in which you can be hurt unexpectedly, and under conditions where no peril or risk appeared to your eyes. The habit of hurrying contributes to these mishaps. The people who are always rushing from one thing to another, who never seem to catch up with their work, and are always a little behind time, are per- haps more exposed to these mis-chances. They hurry so much that they neglect the ordinary precautions that careful people take. The old saying had it that makes The proverb may have originated with someone who noted the mishapS that occur when people hurry too much.

Just a of carelessness may cause you many weeks or months of incapacity or suffering. The human body is a frail thing after ali, and you have to guard it carefully, even to come through the perils of daily life in your own home. OBSTRUCTED CORNERS One of the perils of motoring is found in the obstruction of the view in the street intersections of many cities and towns. Many automobile accidents are due to the inability of drivers to see around the corners of the cross streets which they are approaching. Many drivers take those corners on faith.

They ap- the proach such a spot at a fast clip, seeming to feel that the chances are slight that a car will pop out from behind that corner at particular moment. But if they keep passing these corners in that unthinking way, some day a car will emerge just as they are passing. About that time you can look for a job for the hospital and perhaps business for the junk man. In some cities the old settlers planted their houses close to the street lines, and it takes extreme care to drive through such places without running into a smash. Business blocks are usually built up close to cor- l.ers, and the driver who runs fast past those intersections, when he can see but a short distance up side streets, is likely to have an unpleasant surprise some day.

The man who drives a car 30 miles an hour past one of these hidden intersections is taking more chances than the one who drives 60 in the open country. It is not beneficial to either health or pocketbook to take these A thoughtful man, contemplating the state of civilization today, and particularly the economic mess in which it flounders, writes to a fellow-thinker as follows: humanity were completely intellectual, motives of utter selfishness would lead one to be absolutely just and fair in all his dealings with his fellowman. This for the reason that it is only through universal application to conduct of those principles that tend to benefit all, that the individual can be assured of no unfavorable acts toward himself. In short, pure intellectual soning teaches us that, for our own individual well-being, the principle of the Golden Rule is the only efficacious one. And until such time as each of us adopts and rigidly adheres to that principle, the race will remain less than human.

more one ponders upon this question, the more his amazement grows at its simplicity; and yet its effectiveness seems to be questionable. What a sad comment on our widely advertised rationality, that we have not yet attained the wit to apply the principle Thoroughgoing applica tion of this principle would give the world international peace as well as individual and national well-being. The all-too-human race going to apply Golden Rule 011 a wholesale scale this year or next, but just possible that evolution is working us slowly along in that direction.

Airplanes growing rapidly in size, and the larger they get the safer they are, because they ride air waves more steadily. Accordingly, a tremendous growth in size and doubtless carrying capacity is foreseen by Dr. William Whitney Christmas, a leading aircraft designer. He foresees, in no great length of time, air liners almost as large as ocean liners.

He pictures airplanes carrying GOO passengers and forming a trans Economic and governmental problems are simple if you look at only one side. They become complex when you look at both sides. Apd still more so when, as often happens, there are more than two sides. Take the processing tax, for example, as applied to cotton to save American cotton-growers from ruin. The cotton mills pay the tax and the growers get the money, and the iatter are able to make a living again.

But manufacturers now, in New England and the southern states, are in closing and spinners a weavers thrown out of work. They have not been able to sell their manufactured cotton, in the present state of the American market, at prices covering the processing tax on raw cotton and leaving enough for wages and profit. The enlarged incomes of the cotton-growers help general business enough for that. If the processing tax is abolished, those distressed planters may go on straight federal relief. But we want to abolish the dole.

The manufacturers could get a better price for their cotton cloth, they say, and might keep their mills going, if it were not for the Japanese goods competing at lower prices. There is something to that argument. There is Japan's side, too. The Japanese have i been buying from us general merchandise worth $100,000,000 more a year than what they have sold; us, and have been paying INCOME TAX CHANGES An interesting change in the federal tax system is suggested in some of the Washington reports. It would raise the rates for big fellows and on the whole would lower them for little fellows, yet would broaden the base so as to bring in more little fellows than are paying now.

A net income of $5,000 is mentioned as a possible dividing line. Taxpayers under that level would be given a somewhat lower rate. But at the same time the exemptions would be lowered, so that hundreds of thousands now tax-free would be obliged to pay from a few cents to a few dollars apiece. A pretty good argument could be made for the reasonableness of this. It has long been maintained by students of government that more people of moderate income should be obliged to pay some income tax, no matter how small, so that they would realize the cost of government and take more interest in the handling of public money.

The present taxpayers in the class being a majority of all the income taxpayers, it would be a popular move to cut their tax rate a little, though it might not be sound economics at a time when the national debt is mounting. Any loss incurred by such a move would be covered, or more than covered, by raising rates above the $5,000 class. What the government does about it, if anything, will probably be determined by public opinion. WHEN THEY WANT PEACE MOST INTERNATIONAL GARDENERS An American expedition has just sailed for Japan. It is composed of garden- lovers, members of 54 different Garden Clubs of America.

They go to upon the invitation and as the guests of Prince Iyessato-Tokugawa, president of the American-Japan Society. There are lovely gardens in Japan, some of which have been for hundreds of years. The visitors are to have all kinds of official attention from representatives of the government, heads of several important organizations and other Japanese leaders. The society aspects of the junket, however, are not nearly so important as the social aspects. Garden lovers the world over have much in common.

There should be growing good feeling between two countries whose gardeners are mutually appreciative. CONDEMNED KIDNAPER IS GIVEN EXECUTION STAY BY GOVERNOR the county champio Tuesday afternoon Pickett drubbed the Home Lads, 4-2, at Magnolii here and Mildred nosed omt the Richland club at 4-3. Both games were originally scheduled to have been unreeled at Magnolia Park but Richland school authorities declined to let the boys out of school in time for the scheduled 2:30 o'clock game here and Mildred went to Richland for a game later in the afternoon. it was reported here. Richland Threatened.

Richland seriously threatened the lead of the Eagles when two runs were registered in the eighth stanza, but the rally fell short of tying the count. Mildred turned in 11 hits', three by Singleton, Mahoney and W. Sirman, pitcher, while Sirman held Richland to five safeties. The battle at Magnolia Park in the main was a battle between McGowan of State Home and G. Tanner of Pickett.

State Home drew the first blood in the fourth inning after Moore was safe on a hit, and had pilfered second. Wilkins was safe on a. fielder's choice when Moore was safe at third and then Moore scored on a double steal. Pickett tied the count in the seventh. Wright bounded a hot single off the glove of Hollingsworth and pilfered second.

Wilson cracked a sizzling single into left field and Wright scored. Wilson stole second and went to third on a wild pitch but McGowan proceeded to fan three batters in a row to retire the side. State Home forged ahead again in the eighth. Cardwell walked and stole second and third bases. Hollingsworth flied out and Moore singled sharply to center, scoring Cardwell.

TCIghth Inning Rally. State Home battery blew up In the last of the eighth and Pickett scored three runs before the side retired. White rolled a ball in front of the plate and was safe when throw to first was bad. Christie attempted to sacrifice and also was safe at first on error by Hamblin. White went to third on a wild pitch and scored on error bv McGowan, tying the score.

V. Tanner singled, scoring Christie for whate later proved the winning of the game and went to second on a steal and then advanced to third on a passed ball. G. Tanner flied out to right field and Wright was safe on fielder's choice when futile effort to get V. Tanner at the plate made.

Wright stole second but the next two men wore out. G. Tanner, Pickett pitcher, with victory in sight, did not give the Lads a chance In the ninth and fanned Wilkins, McGowan and Simpson in order to retire the 81110 and end the hotly contested and interested melee.
