THE DEADLY AUTO

The Railway Gazette states that
the recent publication regarding
accidents in the streets of New.
York City in 1913 show that auto
mobile fatalities in that city are
Increasing with appalling rapidity.
The last whole year for which acct.
dent statistics of the interstate
commerce commission are avail
able is the year ending June 80,
1912. In that year the railways of
the United States carried 994, 1885,
591 passengers, a total of $780,
coo, OOO passenger miles. The num-
Der of passengers killed in train az
cidents collisions, derailments,
ETC., was l39. The number of pass
engars killed in other WAYS by step
ping in font of moving engines
and cars, etc., was 179; making a
total OF passengers killed in all
ways in the entire United States
of 30S. fhe number of persons
killed in the streets merely of New
York City by automobiles in 1918
was 302, OF 1T per cent more than
the passengers killed in train acct
dents in 1912, and but little less
than the total number of passengers
killed in all railway accidents.
Furthermore, the situation in re-
spect to automobile fatalities is
rapidly growing worse, the in
crease in the number in New York
City being from 22l in 1912 to 3O2
in 1918, OF almost 40 per cent.

HEALTH AND THE
OPEN WINTER

The old time theory that an D e
winter is prolific Of i'll health
seems to be disproved for the pres.
ent season, in Chicago at least.
The winter has been unusually mild
the thermometer on January 18th
recording 60 degrees. There has
been practically nc snow through
out the months of December and
January. According to the BuIle-
tin of the Chicago Department of
Health, there has been for the eight
weeks ending January % a reduc.
ton of 29.6 per cent in the pneu-
mOnia death rate as compared with
the average of a like period for
the previous five years; 1913 per
cent in influenza and 7.8 per cent
in the rate for tuberculosis. There
have likewise been reductions Of
measles, which dropped 81 per
cent; scarlet fever, Sd per cent;
aiphtheria, PAP per cent; and
whnoping cough, 1872 per cent. The
Bulletin accounts for this by the
opportunity given 10y the mild YEA.
Their for outdoor living and better
ventilation in living quarters. 1t is
estimated that in the diseases nam
ed there has been a saving Of Sig
lives during the six weeks Of De-
cember and January for which the
comparison was made.

CALIFORNIA FOR CALIFORNIAnS

California for Californians is d
slogan that las come to be doctrine
over in the land of the "estive ma
tive SOP. The truth of this state
ment is brought home to Nevsdans
in a multitude of ways Of late more
than formerly. AS Nevada agri-
culture has increased and bid
stronger for California markets
evlry resou ce at the command Of
the Californians has been Invoked
to stay the competition thus i'm
posed. For instance, though the
eel worn thrives throughout the
length and breadth Of California,
Nevada potatoes showing traces of
this insidious insect are promptly
denied entrance in other markets
there, for be it known that our
potatoes have superior qualities for
tho epicure that will make the
mast loyal native son in his desire
for a toothsome article forget he
is q native son Of the golden west.
Lately it has come to this papers
knowledge that Nevada alfalfa is
also on the taboo list. A carload
of Truckee-C Carson project hay was
condemned in one of the eastern
California counties one day last
week, because a stalk of Russian
thistle was found among the bales.
And this despite the fact that Rus
sian thistle is one Of the chief pro-
ducts of California's highways and
byways. Which forces home the
conclusion that IL Neyadans are to

compete in. California markets with
their products they must organize
and-export only that which is free
from blemish.
That Californians are manifest
ly unfair and unsportsncanlike most
everyone will concede. The wonder
is that anything from Nevada is ac-
ceptable to Californians. Really
they have come to be afraid that
the Nevada gold they have asked
for their bunco exposition in 1915
is affected with electrolysis and
will refuse it. But horrors! Per-
