The authorities should take some action to prevent excessively fast driving on the Madlsonville road. It is easily comprehended that men working in the shipyards at Madisonville and residing in Covington should reach theit destination in reasonably short time, but this does not mean that life should be sacrificed by reckless driving. Good time may be made without risking life, if traffic rules are formed to restrict drivers and compel the ordinary courtesies and consideration of road travel. No rac ing should be allowed and no car should pass another when both are near ing their limit of speed. When a driver sounds his horn for right of way, it should be given him, unless the car in front is at the time going at the limited speed or is able to and desires to maintain the limit of speed, which should be fixed by ordinance. Cars approaching each other at high speed should slow down at passing and should strictly observe the rule to give half the road. Twenty miles an hour is fast enough for safe traffic. This would enable the trip to be made in twenty minutes, now that the road is shelled all the way. A steady speed is nmch faster than spasmodic bursts of speed that cannot be maintained on 'ordinary roads, and it is certainly much safer. The past week quite a number were injured by reckless driving or care lessness. If a stop is not put to it, loss of life will ultimately compel action. It is much better to enforce regulation now than to wait until public indignation at loss of life induces restrictions that may make travel slower than is really necessary, it drivers have consideration for each other and for those who entrust their lives to their care. THE DIPPING OF CATTLE. Dr. R. V. Rainell, government inspector for the state in the matter of cattle dipping, discussed the matter before the Police Jury at their meet ing last Tuesday. He made an appeal for the co-operation of the mem besrn He made a plain statement of the fact that the Government in tended to free the State of ticks, and the work would be carried on in definitely until that condition was reached. The sooner the work was accomplished the sooner the expense and trouble would end. It.was not a question of whether any one believed in it or not. The Government had investigated the adopted plan and had decided it was effective, and it must be carried out. With the co-operation of owners of stock and of the authorities it would be accomplished with the least friction and expense. In Mississippi, he said, the law made it a misdemeanor for owners to have cattle in their possession infested with ticks. iWhile this law might seem stringent, it was effective. In speaking of the danger of dipping cattle with those that might be infected with charbon, Dr. Rafnell said there was no danger unless the dead carcass of an animal so Infected was exposed to the cattle 4n or near the pen. That the spores of this disease came to the surface of the dead animal and might be distributed by flies if the animal was exposed to it by scratches or cuts so that it could gain entrance into the blood, but that dipping killed all spores that might be Axed to the hair. In fact, Dr. Raf nell was inclined to the belief that dipped cattle *tere pretty much immune to all diseases of this nature, because all spores or germs in the hair of animals would be killed by the solution. In response to a question, Dr. Rafnell said that cattle proven to have been killed in the act of dipping should 'be paid for by the parish, but that it a thorough investigation were made it would be found very seldom that an animal died from this cause, and that usually sickness or some cause existing at the time of dipping was responsible. 'No cattle should be paid for unless it was positively shown that death resulted from dipping. Dr. Reafell also stated that Mr. Hoover had endorsed dipping as a war measure, because it tended to conserve meat production. There is no doubt at the truth of Dr. Rafnell's statements. Dipping has 'been proven by the experiments of the Government to be valuable to the stock owner. It is an asset in any community. With the co-opera tion of all it may free the parish of ticks at an early date. As an economic measure, as it must be done, the sooner it is done the better. L M.
