Most of these accidents could be avoided. Countless advertising mediums each day are calling the attention of motorists to the number of accidents and fatalities of traffic and open highway but it seems to make little impression on the motorist. Each motorist believes he is the most careful driver in the world; his brakes and tires are in perfect condition. And each week 17,400 people learn they were wrong, while some of the 557 may live long enough to learn it but are not given a chance to correct it. We mention this advertisement of Bryner's service sta tion because it is timely, and because that company is one of very few in this vicinity who during a year and a half of the new Journal ownership has never missed advertising for a single issue. They not only are loyal to their hometown newspaper, but loyal to their business because no concern can attain popularity and maintain that status without consistent and proper publicity. ever-increasi- Mrs. C.

Safe Method Told Nautical Novelties for Dry Cleaning done sue may cessfully and with comparitive saf ety at home if the right kind of cleaning solvent is used and if correct methods are followed, says Ellen Agren, specialist in clothing be for the Utah State Agricultural college extension service. Use a commercial cleaning preparation, generally known as solvent, which is evaporates slowly and and has a flash point of 100 degrees F. or higher. Naptha, high test, or ordinary gasoline should never be used in because there home is much danger of explosions, warns Miss Agren. A benzine soap may be used to assist in the cleaning process. Use these according to the directions on the container. The following method of procedure is outlined by Miss Agren: 1. Collect garments to be shake each garment well and mark with a basting thread spots which will need special attention; place each garment on a d clothing .hanger. The should be cleaned first. 2. Place on a table, in the shade, three vessels each containing from one gallon to six quarts of cleaning solvent. 3. Use plenty of solvent as much deof the success of pends on this. 4.

Place garment into the third vessel containing the solvent; rinse well, squeeze as dry as possible, shake garment carefully, place on a hanger in the shade until solvent evaporates. The solvent in the third container should be kept clean. As the cleaning progresses put the solvent from the second container into the first; from the third container into the second, and the clean solvent into the third container for the last rinse. 7. When the solvent has evaporated completely, the garment may be taken indoors, pressed, and hung in a warm, airy place to 5. ld Tried in Slaying of Mother A v 5 M:;M V? 4 , In a formal statement July 2G.h, directed to the Public Utilities Commission, State Superintendent Charles II.

That in case of any proved inadequacy, that ti e present carriers be given the first opportunity to (tupplv thsit need before permitting substitute or competing transportation agencies to operate. 3. Thnt no carrier be permitted to operate in this state un'.e-- s it has first proved to the compie'e satisfaction of the Utilities Commission that it is of sound financial standing, able to carry out the mandates of the law respecting the payr.xr.t of taxes kvposcd upon them. 4. That where any doubt exists as to the finr.ncial standing of any applicant, adequate bonds bo required that will guarantee the payment of all their obligations in connection with their operations in this s'.a.e. 5. That whatever tax is imposed upon the carriers that arc to sukstitute or replace the railroads be made equal to ths taxes now borne by the railrcadi:. 6. That the administration of the law dealing with the collection of these taxes be so rigid and alert that no delinquency will be permitted. 7. That in case any cairier fails to pay its taxes, licenses, fees, etc., ia compliance with law, its franchise to operate will be immediately withdrawn." This, in the opinion of Superintendent Skidmore, would eliminate the and irresponsible concerns who came into the state, take away the patronage from existing reliable ta:cpaying interests, and. pay little to Ihe public treasury. In his communication to the Public Utilities Commission Superintendent Skidmore also directs attention to the fact that taxpayers' money constructs and maintains the highways which are used by these commercial carriers practically free of charge. These carriers use the highways, disintegrate them and practically monopolize them, without paying adequately for this service, which the taxpayers furnish'to them. Says Mr. Skidmore: "I hold no brief for the railroads, but inasmuch as the revenues from that source will affect vitally the moneys which come to the public schools, I feel it incumbent upon me to direct attention to this situation." Attention is called to a situation in Kansas where railroads have for the first time in their history defaulted in paying taxes, with the result that they are threatened with closing schools in that state. Impressive statistics were presented by the Superintendent to show the difference between the taxes charged in 1932 against the railroads and against other forms' of transportation in several counties of the state, to show what would happen if revenue from the railroads should fail and the schools be obliged to place dependence upon revenue from other sources.
