Bicyclists urged to ride safely and light up at night
The Keystone Automobile Club of Maryland cites nearly 800 bicyclists killed and 14 000 injured last year and urges police action to stop lightless bikes. Robert E Gambrill says lack of lights on youths bikes is the main hazard and notes Miami police require bicycle registration and safety training before licensing. Parents should also supervise and license children in traffic safety.

Political and Economic Outlook Turns Turbulent in 1940
The outlook calls for steady but not strong gains across industries with summer trade improving over 1936 levels while foreign trade remains weak until a long recovery. A Europe war would change the picture, but major powers bluff. Domestic politics split Democrats, roils Supreme Court reform, and labor politics gain prominence as liberals and conservatives realign, making the 1940 scene highly uncertain.

Needed Tax Reforms for Industrial Growth and Capital Gain Change
A group of eminent economists urge repeal of the capital gains tax on capital items held over one year and propose amendments to the 1936 Revenue Bill. They call for pre-surtax allowances for plant expenditures and options for final dividends, debt relief credits, and a 30 percent surplus credit. They argue these reforms would release capital, boost turnover in securities, and widen government income by about 260 million dollars yearly.
