While Mr. Hale w11! lo t be vmpowered to makie collection, for moire than a couple of weeks, it ýis important that:payment be made to him rather than to the county collector. for the reason that distribution to the varlous school and other taxing bodies can be made more prompt.ly. IThese taxing 'bodies. at.least somfe'of them, have otstanding tax, anticipation warrants upon- which interest iç being paid, and the, sooner they are retiredi the sooner the interest expense mill cease.

BEG0MING A FAD) The intense interest being ShIoNný by north .shorc- residents in, the movement, for safe automobile. driving -cannot but he heartening and encouraging, to those who have taken the initiative in the efforts té reduce accidents and property loss. When thp police chiefs of Wi1mette. Kehilworth, Winnetka and Gencoe decided, to cal! into cooperati on the ,vanious chvic organizations of the villagkes;- they struck "pay dirt." for the instant response was such as to leave no doubt as te the, willingness of> the memberships to take part in such a move- -ment. The idea back of it all is a school for safetyi in, which the right and .%rong of automobile drivin- are stressed, lu which "students" are told by Word of mouth, and shown in pictures of actual driving. what to do and what'not todo*iii certain circum- stances. The attendauceý at the flrst session of this school .demonstrated that mnost drivers rea!ly. des ire to drive safelv, and are willing te go to the trouble of learning how te do ît if given the opportunity.

The heads of the local, police departmènts are to be commended for this advanced step in >afety promotion. The idea of bringing to tlheir aid civic organizations which, they feit, wvould cxert a tremexidous influence, is cntirely new. It was "brealçîng new ground,' 'real pioneer work, but the resuits so far attained reveal it as a master- stroke in cutting down the accident totals, No one who drives an automobile should miss ýhese safety school sessions. No matter how good a driver you think you are, there awaits you, in the schooi. information wîdat some criti'cal nio- mient, You willbe glad te possess. WH*Y QUARREL?
