Last year in Greater New York the
automobile exceeded the trolly car
in the number Of victims. Figures
published by the National Highways
Protective Society show that automo-
biles killed 221 persons, trolleys 1874
and wagons 230.
One of the big accident insurance
companies paid benefits last year, as
follows: Accidents at home, $3.50
claims; pedestrians, 2,4s6; automo.
biles, 1925: sports and recreations,
1873; travel, 1873, horse and vehi-
cles, 953, bicycles and motorcycles,
PSI, elevators, 81.
The reports ON the accidents hap
pie1ing at home are interesting as
illustrating how easy it is to get
hurt, even in the fancied security of
ones own home.
Some OF the individual explana-
lions Of accidents for which benefits
Were paid are curious and ANUS
ing. Here follow few taken at
random from the reports:

Sisson, the 13-year-old girl kidnapped
four years ago by James NJ. Davis,
now in prison at Middleport, Ohio, an

A movement was started here Sunday
by j. g. Clark and o. B. Thompson,
both leading men of Winfield, to
raise a fund for the return Of the girl
to VIM parish and to provide a good

that before the end of the week the

EVERY LOUISIANA CONGRESSMAN

New Orleais.-Efforts to open the
Port of New Orleans to live stock
from Central and South America are
10 be made through every Louisiana
congressman and man of possible in
fluence with the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Department of Commerce
and Labor, at Washington, and initial
efforts have already been inaugurated
by General Live Stock Agent w. G..
Harding, of the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road, with headquarters at st. Louis.
There are several hundreds Of thou
sand cattle in Mexico and Central
America that can be brought to New
Orleans for shipment to United States
packing centers, and the establishing
of a large clearinghouse here is de-
pendent upon favorable action on the
part of the chiefs Of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry in lifting the en-
barge on Southern cattle for import at
New Orleans" Mr.. Harding explained,
when seen at the Hotel Monteleone.
Mr.. Harding has just come from
Washington, where he took the ques-
ton up with Senator Broussard who
is cooperating with him. THE bu-
reau permits the entrance of Latin
American cattle through the Port OF
Galveston, and that has done much
toward making Galveston one OF the
great live stock importing centers of
the country" he continued. However,
all ports south of Galveston on the
Gulf of Mexico are closed to those cat
tie, with the result that practically the
whole movement is directed that way,
in what | consider direct discrimina-
ton against New Orleans"
According to Mr.. Harding, there are
upwards of 100000 cattle in Mexico
and 100000 in Nicaragua awaiting
shipment to the United States via
New Orleans as soon as the Bureau of
Animal Industry can be persuaded to
lift the ban which is now placed on
them by the Federal Government in
the operation of this port

New Orleans.-The solidarity Of
New Orleans and Mississippi in war
peace, politics and commerce, reflect
ing as it does the solid South, was
never better illustrated than by the
whOle-souled manner in which the
press and leaders of Louisianas twin
sister state have indorsed and sup
ported the New Orleans exposition Of
big ideas. From the very first the
press Of Mississippi from end to end
of the state and from the Mississippi
river to the Alabama line adopted as
their slogan the commercial war cry
used by distinguished citizen of
Natchez during the recent Mississippi
Valley immigration Convention held
IN New Orleans. 1t is: New Orleans
for the South and the South for New
Orleans"
When the representatives of the ex-
position of big ideas went to Jackson
last week they found that the leaders
of Mississippi were fully alive to what
New Orleans and Louisiana were do
ing. The plans, aims and ideas of the
exposition found the same hearty sup
port from the progressive citizens Of
Mississippi that has greeted the ex-
position by the foremost workers in
every field throughout the United
States.
The interests OF Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi in New Orleans are identical.
New Orleans is the great port of both
states The growth and prosperity of
New Orleans means their growth and
prosperity. Make New Orleans great
factory center, for instance, and the
immense storehouses of Mississippi
raw material will find a ready and
profitable market.
The press of Mississippi has given
much space to the exposition and
what it means to the entire South, es-
pecially to the twin states" The
press of the entire state has heartily
endorsed it and in doing so 1t has &C
curately reflected public opinion
Among the many enterprising papers
of the state that have given the move.
