Stoj) the loss of life fro m accidental causes in the honae and In industry. That is the prosTam of the Western Safety Conference, to be held in I..os Angeles, Sept. 12-16. liepresented at the confer- ence will l>e the eleven Western States, and Uritish Cf)lnml)ia, Alas- ka, Hawaii and l>ower California. ITnlform legislation will be pro- jected fo r the entire territory rep- resented. Safety experts connected with every branch of the industry, alon.t? with automobile associations, state traffic bodies, school.'?, sei'vioe flubs and similar private and pub- lic groups will take part. Th e pur- pose of the conference is to bring closer the day when every person in the Western States and con- tiguous territory will be goveined liy uniform safety regulations. Other sections of the country would do well to hold similar re- gional conferences. One of the greatest barriers to the achieve- ment of safety, especially in the >Ughway field, is the diversity of laws, regulations and appliances, such as stop signs and warning fiignals. What is legal in one state may be illegal in the next. One town may use sidewalk traffic con- trols and another town ten miles away overhead controls, or one town ma y have several styles of controls. Th e motorist doesn't know •uhat to expect. Equall y important, such confer- ences as these make it possible fo r experts in many branches of safety •work and from far-sipattered places, t o come together for a meeting of •minds, present opinions, and thrash •out rroblems. This is an important I)haee of the organized safety work we need so greatly today.

TALKS TO SOUTH SEAS A Binghamton amateur radio operator is believed to be the first America n to reach Pitcairn Isl.-ind in the Soiith Pacific by wireless. Recently twirling the dials of his set, F. W. Wolflnger chanced t o tune in on the island station established just a few days prev- iously for experimental purposes. At the request of one of the Amer- ican operators there, Wolflnge r called the distant operator's mother in Providence, R- T. \When the telephone wa s held close to the radio loudspeaker, the mother heard her son's voice more than 6,00 0 miles away. THE AUTO BUSINESS OF 30 YEARS AGO One of the first automobile agents of 30 or more years ag o wa s Wil- liam H. Hedge s of Southampt<m, who .sold Ford cars. At that time not one out of ever y hundred re.si- dents of Suffolk Count y had an au- tomobile and it was an exceedingly difficult proposition to innterest one in l)Uying \a horseless carriage.*' Hedges started in Tmsines.s' in Wainscott, and' soon became one of the f)est known dealers in the county. He proT>ab]y sold more cars than any- other agency in the county, considering the many years he devoted to the business. Mr. Hedges loves to reminisce on the old \days when he wa s forced to take in trade about everything in order to make a sale. One of the very first cars Mr. Hedges sold was to F. Porte r How- ell at Riverhead, and he had to take in trade a farm wagon, two sets of harness and a buggy, Mr. Howell contending Tne would have no further u.se for the old method of transportation. Among other first customers were Elliot t Toung , the piano man of Greenport ; Raymond Magee and Mr. .lennings of Water :siiii. Th-e first Ford he handled was a two-cylinder, crank on the side car. which sold for around $600. Hi s strongest comjietitor in those days wa s the Maxwell, now unheard of except by the old timers. In 1907 Ford put out a liig .Hix-c>linder ra.r that sold fo r $2,000. J. Irvin g Ed - wards can well r>e remembered scooting about Riverhead with one of these models. Mr. Hedges likes best to relate of the first automobile race held on Eastein Ixmg Island. It was held on the old Tuckaho e racing track near Southampton, and he won it by over a half mile from a field of entries which included Dr. John Nugent. Livingston Bowden, Henr y Schwenk and H. Rogers of Southampton. He drove his Ford better than 40 mile s an hour to win the race, with Dr. Nugent fin- ishing second in his Maxwell . Th e race was a five mile event. Mr. Hedges and iTis Ford agency were known fa r and wid e over the East End, and many, many motor- ists now driving a do2^n different makes of modern machines received their first instructions on handling an automoV^ile from him in the old Model \T\ Ford. Keep a stiff upper lip. Your fu - ture depends on it more than upon mere ability or money. In fact, you can win without money or ability If you keep a stiff upper Hp. Get the habit of doin p things. Live one moment at a time. Intelligent cheerfulness is rare. Business demand s a flow of cre- ative ideas. Experience is what you have left when everything else is gone. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE \God\ is the subject of the I>P3 - son-Sermon in al l Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Simday, July 3. The Golden Text is: \We will re- joice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God wo will set up our banher.1.'' Among the citations which com- prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol- lowing from the Bible: \Hear O Israel: Th e Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.\ Th e Tjesson-Sermon also includes the following correlative selection from the textbook of Christian Sci- ence, \Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.\ by Mary Baker Eddy : \Spirit Life, Truth. Love, combine as one, and are the' Scrip- tural names for God. All substance. Intelligence, wisdom , being, immor - tality. cau.se. and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the in- finite divine Piinciple , Love.\ Potato Movement From Eastern Shore is Heavy Cape Chailes, Va., June 24—Pota- to .shipjiers of Northampton county have been rolling aroimd 200 car- loads (if Jrisli j^otatoes daily lor some tin«e, and probaiily three- fourths of the crop has moved from the lower half of the county. The demand early this waek still was holding at a price ranging between $2 and $2.50 per barrel. dei>endins on (juality, but the crop is below a normal yield. Thi s is thought to account for the sustained demand. The upper section of the county and in Accomac cormty, where dig- ging is more or less sporadic, still has a considerable quantity in the groiind. The county to the north uses much more home grown seed than Northampton does and it does not mature as early as the Maine grown seed. Digging, however, is going on as fa r north as the east- ein shore of Maryland. Some of the Northampton grow- ers have finished their digging, sev- eral of them getting shipments off at prices even above the $2,50 fig- ure, or at least obtaining a mini- mum price of around $2.50. The potatoes are moving off the shore counties at the earliest date recorded since 1921. Approximately l .fSOO carloads have been shipped by the two counties thus far. Ove r three-fourths of the nearby Nort g Carolina crop has been harvested. The yield is holding around 45 barrels per acre. Poquatuok Farm Fred Tabor of Orient, has< named the far m conducted by himself and sons \roquatnck Farm\ in I 'ecogr- nition of the lidinn tribe of that name, wh o were the first inliabi- tants of Orient. Evidence still to be found on the Jproad acres of their camp sites, where arrow heads, stone implements and other Indian relics are unearthed from LEGAL NOTICES Already more than 4 4,000 boys and girls in many different parts of the United States have been measured to help the United States Bureau of Home Economics to set up standard sizes for children's clothes.
