Wreck Weather Coming Summer approaches, the pulse of nature quickens, life begins, and shortly the country's motorists will start slowing up one another's pulses and ending their lives. Traffic cops know that good weather breeds, bad accidents. acci-dents. The safest time to take a spin is at the height of a rainstorm or the. tag end of a good thick blizzard. Most Tnnlc orn mnrfi f lion Arinayilv Qnf iniic tVmn WVl OT1 sun comes out and the roads dry off, everybody does a little relaxing, lets it out, and turns his ear into a kind of travel-iho- nut house. o The season, therefore, is ripe for taking stock . . . of your own assets and liabilities as, a driver, the ones that appear ap-pear to be those of theaverage drivejyou encounter, and those of your car as something to entrust your life to. How long' it will take to make the nation's highways as safe as its sidewalks nobody cares to guess, but the problems of traffic have never commanded such concerted, countrywide country-wide study as they are now receiving. National organizations, organiza-tions, community groups, city, county, state, and federal officials are going after satisfactory solutions from every conceivable angle. Highway improvement is one idea. The chairman of Connecticut's Highway Safety Commission has recently expressed ex-pressed t a hope, as have others, for compulsory car inspection inspec-tion prior to any transfer of ownership of a second-hand nntnmnhilp TVip imnnitinn rf Hrivinrr fpstty M'nrl ntVipr Ynm- ..w. " - . ' , " - - i nations on license applicants is growing. A Chicago traffic court judge has gone to the extent of having traffic law violators examined by psychiatrists, and induced to take treatments whose purpose ..is the correction of the "personality twists" responsible for their abnormal behavior at the wheel. The greatest movement, and the most effective one, is the safety education campaign among children and adults. Figures on traffic deaths and injuries in cities all over the country show startling reductions where such campaigns have been pursued. . If present efforts in the direction of highway safety ire kept up with continued interest, a traffic death in the future will reallv be news. Legislation By Accident Washington reporters have dug up the fact that on a sleep.v day the house of repiesentatives passed a bill which would, if undiscovered, have given the federal census bureau the right to snoop thru every business establishment in America at will, demanding intricate information on almost any subject it cared to c bring up. ' This section of. the bill was concealed beneath a lot of innocuous wordage relating to an investigation of babassu oil. sesame' seeds and other comparatively insignificant things. The senate will sink the bill without a trace, but both houses are frightenettaTTIie thought of what might happen some time when "unanimous consent" bills are rolling thru without close scrutiny. The incident focusses attention again on the question of "Why so many laws?" Congressman Bruce Barton was elected in New York, in 1936 "t)ri a platform that called for the repeal of one. law each day. ' IMay we respectfully suggest in every odd year the entire en-tire session of congress be devoted to repeal of laws only, and that such legislation- as must be passed be saved' up until the sessions of the even years come along?

To call him "Uncle Oliver" was ou'. of the question, for he was addressing ad-dressing her as Miss Chelsey and so repudiating '.heir kinship, Seeing a portrait that interested her she got up and crossed the room to look at it. "Is that my Grandfather Dart?" she asked. "It's nobody that concerns you," answered Oliver Dart, though it was her great-uncle, his brother and-her grandfather's, now dead . , , Wherever she tried. to make contact, he thwarted her, so "that she had nothing to which .to cling. His hostility penetrated, as a frost penetrates "the marrow of the bons.oh a cold day, and eventually eventu-ally jhe fell silent, hoping in this way to escape his displeasure. "He's a terribly cross old man," she decided in bewilderment. She had told Mrs. Broggs she knew many such at Home. She saw that she was mistaken. There was something baffling -in old Oliver Dart's behavior. She did not know that it sprang from a mind bordering bor-dering on madness. While Polly was at supper Mrs.. Broggs ordered her helper, the porter to carry the little doeskin trunk to a bedroom on the floor above. Presently she came for the girl and took her there. As the door dosed on Polly Chelsey, Oliver Darf shut his eyes and put his finger tips -together.
