The conceited man ' has never been very easy to get along with, but he has not ordinarily been -regarded as a, menace to the safety of his fellows. Recently, however, Dr. Paul Schroeder, Illinois state criminologist; told the Midwest Mid-west Safety Conference that the conceited man is responsible respons-ible for an enormous number of automobile accidents, j Just why a swelled head should unfit a mn for driving an 'auto-is fairly easy to understand. Its possessor lacks a normal regard for the rights o-others. He cuts in and out pf traffic lanes with gay abandon. He swerves quickly over' in front of another machine Avithout caring how that is going to affect the other fellow. When he sees a pedestrian pedest-rian crossing the street ahead of him he toots his horn instead in-stead of stepping, on the brake. - . Worse vetT-vwhen he has caused an accident his con- ceit- tells him that it was all the other man's fault. He refuses re-fuses to feel any remorse over it, even when the accident has taken .a life. . He leaves hi3 fault uncorrected; and so, as DrXSchroeder says: ) . - . , . ' , : - "An appreciation of the rights of .others on .the high- i ways appears to be a more important qualification for a driver than even normal intelligence." DigestiorTof this fact brings us, in turn, to a consideration consider-ation of the whole question of courtesy on the highway; and 'one is compelled to wonder if that quality may not be the key, to our. whole traffic situation. . Granted that there are too'many cars on the highways. Granted that congestion becomes, at certain times, and places, almost beyond endurance. Granted that there are some accidents that no amount of careful foresight would - prevent, poes it not still seem probable that ordinary unselfishness" un-selfishness" and care for the rights of others would cut the traffic toll down to a comparatively insignificant figure? Think over most of the causes of motor accidents ; speed4 ing, driving hi the wrong lane, using too-bright headlights; driving too fast-on slipperVor crowded pavements, "cutting- - in,? defective brakes aren't they all things that a little courtesy and forethought would prevent? Aren't they things - that simply don't happen to reaaly courteous. motorists? ; Of course, the chief trouble with all of this is that few of us -are always constant in -our behavior, i On nine days out of .ten we drive with due consideration for the rights of others; on' the tenth day we let things rip adthe law of chance being what it is, we generally get away with it; But we don't always ;vso our traffic fatalities run around 30,000 a year..

Tests of the material made in New York recently recent-ly proved its effectiveness. Two . miniature . houses were constructed, construct-ed, one with wood covered with the new preparation, the other of ordinary or-dinary lumber. Both were ignited f aL the same time. Within a few minutes the building constructed of ordinary wood was contpletely destroyed. The other 1 house blazed for a short time and.the fire went out. Inspection revealed that the house, with the exception of its appearance, ap-pearance, was unharmed.

The governmenv. of Denmark is thinking of abolishing its navy. This may be all right for Denmark, Den-mark, but it would never do for the United States. If our navy were abolished', there would be no ensigns en-signs for our society debutantes to marry. This is unthinkable. And if we had no navy, how could we scrap obsolete battleships? Scrapping obsolete battleships is one of our major industries, and inut be protected. Nothing becomes be-comes obsolete faster than a battleship.. battle-ship.. Unless it is a dead fish. Dead f ish ' become obsolete very rapidly. Ecia',lv if left out in the sun. Of course, it is hardly necessary to abolish our navy. Congress is doing that very rapidly.
