ventlon In the future II is a slgnih-
cant fact that more accidents have &C.
CURED this year than in any year pre-
vious, due doubtless to the increasing
use of the machines as well as TO the
mania for racing which seems TO have
possessed many auto owners and hur-
rIed several OF them to untimely deaths,
1t was on the iith Of last August that
Mr.. and Mrs Charles l.. Fair were
killed by the wrecklng of their auto
mobile while touring in France and
only twelve days later that Mr.. i. j.,
Matthews and lady companion were
killed by a similar accident in New Jer-
sey In both instances the machines
were going at high rate of speed. and
thaacoidents could have been prevented
by the use of ordinary precautions;
but the mishap OF Sir Thomas Llpton's
auto little later was one that even the
most experienced Of chauffeurs could
not have prevented Sir Thomas ma
chine "skidded" and the ever smiling
baronet was considerably shaken up in
consequence.
The persistence with which these au-
tomobile accidents have occurred shows
that there is something radically
wrong, both with the machines and in
the manner OF using them. The French
have come TO the conclusion that the
manufacturers Of automobiles must use
greater care in their construction,
They have, of course, accepted such or
ders as were sent to their shops, and,
the most of those orders having been

many a disaster. II would seem from
the reports Of various accidents that
the greatest danger to an operator.
whether experienced or not, Is from
skidding, when the steering gear re.
fuses to act properly and the machine
persists In watzlng, first on It's fore
wheels, then on its hind, particularly
when the road is wet and slippery.
A burst tire will cause the worst sort
Of slipping, the experts say, and to this
kind of accident they at first ascribed
the terrible happening In France last
month though the latest reports make
1t due TO a defective steering wheel.
Pneumatic tires have a less firm hold
upon the road the broader they are. and
the manufacturers must work to the
end Of securing tires with narrower
bearing as well as TO produce a steering
gear that will act more quickly and ef-
fectively and not break. As at present
arranged. the chauffeur Is sometimes
completely at the mercy of his machine
no matter how experienced he may be.
An auto Is n swift motor having no
rails to hold It to its true course,
For the prevention OF accidents in the
future, at least for minimizing their
results, there should be perfect coop.
Grafton on the part Of manufacturers
auto users and owners and the general
public, The first named must strive TO
produce a more nearly perfect machine,
one that can be brought under control
no matter what the condition Of roads
or weather. The time has gone by for
ignoring the automobile, as II has be-
come factor In motor problems that
Is destined TO supersede the horse; so
the only thing now is TO accept it, but
to hedge It's use about with precautions,
as in laws restricting speed and severe
penalties for their infraction.

nounced his renunclation, for speeding
In the streets Of Newport
IN the development Of the automobile
machines have been evoked many tons
in weight and capable Of speeding up to
seventy miles an hour but experience
has shown that the relatively lighter
autos are the best, all things consider
ed, and also the most durable. The Au-
tomobile Club of France has placed a
ban upon all machines weighing more
than 900 kllos (about 1900 pounds, and
this edict, together with the popular
outburst against driving those huge
machines so recklessly over the country
roads, has created revulson there in
favor Of lighter and slower machines.
No doubt exists as TO what popular
sentiment is respecting the speeding Of
autos in our streets and highways. as
shown In the passing Of state laws gem
orally regulating the speed to less than
eight or ten miles an hour.
But II Is one thing to get law enact
ed and quite another TO enforce II. A
strict enforcement Of the laws, with the
substitution Of Imprisonment for a fine

MADDEN AGAIN HEARD FROM.
He Wants % Make Some New Rates on
Publications.

Edwin c. Madden, third assistant
postmaster general in his annual re-
port, made public recently, recon-
mends the establishment of the fol-
lowing new postage rates:
A new rate at tour cents a pound
for all publications now admitted to
the second class mail, except daily,
tri-weekly, semi.weekly and weekly
newspapers, in the generally under
stood sense of the word news
paper" This rate is to be paid on
the bulk weight without regard to
the number of pieces, the same as
is now the case under the pound
rate.
The consolidation OF the third
and fourth classes OF mail matter is
recommended and that the postage
thereon be at the rate of one cent
for each two ounces or fraction
thereof, to be prepaid byl.stamps
affixed.
Congress also is asked to author
ize the postmaster-general to accept,
under suitable regulations, mailings
of large quantities OF identical pieces
of printed matter and small articles
of merchandise without the necessity
of affixing postage rstamps to the
individual pieces.
The recommendation for the four
cents pound rate is an outgrowth
of the investigation into the abuses
Of the second class mail privileges.
Mr.. Madden says that many of the
cheaper class of periodicals. would
be given away il the law would per-
init. The practice, it is said, is to
maintain the fiction of subscription
price and to give back its equiva-
lent in premium.
