100000 populatlon--in the death rate
resulting from automobile fatalities.
Similarly, one-year increase of 3s
per cent in number of automobiles
has taken place along with an I'm.
crease Of only 10 per cent-from 80
TO 4.3 per 1O0,OOO--in the death rate
charged to them.
One cause Of this proportional de-
crease in the destructiveness of the
automobile is undoubtedly to be
found in reduction i'm average an.
nual mileage per machine; but, after
due weight is given this factor. and
u suitable margin is allowed for pos
sible error resulting from inaccuracy
in the estimated portion of the auto

Masquerade Dance
At the Armory

Harlequin, Columbine, Chin-Chin
girls, clowns and an endless variety
of costumes mingled in riotous color
at the Charity ball in the X. of p.
armory Thursday evening and pre-
sented sight not soon to be forgot
ten. The affair was masquerade
and many were the beautiful or de-
ceptive costumes, as the case might
be, that were prepared and worn on
the occasion. Nearly half of the even
ing passed before unmasking time
came and then there were many sur
prises in store, so excellent were
some of the costumes.
Music for the occasion was furnish
ed by the Mild orchestra of six pieces
and many were the compliments
showered on the musicians. Dancing
was stopped at midnight.
A booth was arranged in the hall
where refreshments were sold during
the evening. With the revenue from
this source and the door receipts,
nice little sum will be turned over
to the Home for the Aged, for which
purpose the ball was given.
Those in charge of the arrange.
ments were the following: Misses
Ruth Ralston, Iona P. Arndt, Irene
and Louise Cooper. The large crowd,
the attractive costuming and the mus
ic all made of the evening splendid
success, and in fact charity ball
will probably become an annual affair
in this city.

many additions, particularly from the

BACK HOME AFTER 36
YEARS; THOUGHT DEAD.
Returns In a Feeble and Needy
Condition.

Pittsfield, Mass.-After wandering
for thirty-six years all over the coun-
try George Churchill has returned to
this city. In this interval of years all
of his relatives have died except an
aged sister, Mrs. George Murdock.
Churchill, after leaving Pitts6eld,
never communicated with his relatives.
They believed him dead. IN 1881 Mrs.
Murdoch read in the newspapers of the
death of George Churchill in Ohio.
His body had been buried, and the
family here believed that the missing
George Churchill of Pittsfield was the
person who had died.
Recently gray haired, bearded
stranger revealed himself to the old
family physician Of the Churchills as
the long absent George Churchill.
From the physician he learned his
sister was still living and was eighty
one years old. but in feeble health.
The physician prepared the sister for
a meeting with the brother she had so
long believed to be dead. Churchill,
now aged sixty-nine, and his elder sis
ter, so worn with age that she is being
cared for, were brought together again.
Mrs. Murdoch was greatly shocked by
the reappearance of her brother
Churchill's story is one of wander
lust. He was woodworker when he
went away, and he followed his trade
for years. New processes of labor saw
Ing machinery forced him to abandon
his trade. He turned his hand to cook
ing, and for long time worked in ho-
tells and restaurants.
"All the years." he said, 81 have been
wanting to come back to see the folks.
l couldn't get started. Now I'm old
and worn out and there seemed to be
no other place for me to go"
Churchilrs health is broken, and he
can no longer work. He will be pro-
vided for by friends of the Churchill
family

AUTOMOBILE
Fatalities As Shown By The
Bureau Of The Census

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3t--Is the
deadliness of the automobile increas.
ing or decreasing?
This question seems to be answer.
ed in a very conclusive manner by
the bureau of the census, in making
public some preliminary mortality
statistics for the year 1914, which in
dicate that during the FIVE years from
1909 to 1914 the number of automo.
biles in use in the United States in
creased more than twice as rapidly
as the number of fatalities caused b.
them.
At the close of 1909, according to
figures compiled by the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce, of
New York city, from state registra-
tion reports, due allowance being
made for duplicate registrations.
the number of automobiles in use in
the United States was approximately
100000; by the close of 1913 it had
risen to 100000; and year later,
at the end of 1914, it was 1,750O,00O.
In the meantime the number of
deaths due to automobile accidents
and injuries increased from 632 in
the death-registration area in 1908.
containing 56 per cent of the popula-
tion of the United States, to 1923 in
the same area in 1914; and the in
crease from 1913 to 1914, for the reg
istration area as constituted in 1913.
then containing 65 per cent of the
population of the country, was from
2,4SS to 2,795.
Thus a five-year increase of rs
per cent-accepting as reliable the
figures compiled by the National An
tomobile Chamber of Commerce-in
number of machines has been accom-
panied by an increase of 315 per cent
in automobile fatalities; and a one
year increase of 3S per cent in mum.
Der of machines has been accompan-
led by an increase of IL per cent in
fatalities.
Perhaps more reliable compari-
son, from the statistician's point of
view, can be made between the in
crease in number of automobiles in
use and the increase in the rate per
100,0 900 population for deaths caused
by them. This is because, with a
given number of machines in use in a
given area, the fatalities due to them
will tend to be proportional to the
population of that area. When the
comparison is made on this basis, il
appears that five-year increase OF
775 per cent in number of machines
has been accompanied by an increase
of 25S per cent-from 1.2 to 4.3 pei

NATIONAL AUTO SHOW OPENS

New York, Dec. 3l-The National
Automobile Show which opens here to-
day and will extend during next week,
promises to excel any previous event
in the motor industry. New ideas in
mechanical construction, hundreds of
brand new ideas in accessories, and
some brand new models along radical
lines are on view. The decorations are
the best that the motor men have ever
attempted. The Grand Central Palace
is fairyland, with maroon, deep blue
and gold the dominating colors.

HORSE MEAT FOR
NEW YORK POOR

New York, Dec. 31-The sale OF
horse flesh for food will be permitted
after tomorrow in this state. Although
the state board of health does not rec
ommend it, no harm can be seen in it's
use, it is announced. 1t is pointed out
that the horse never has tuberculosis
and rarely communicates disease to
human beings. The old plugs of the
state will be fattened up for food, and
the only precautions the officials will
make consist of efforts to prevent the
sale of the horse meat in the guise OF
veal or beef. 1t is said that the horse
flesh will be sold at reasonable figures,
and will be snapped up in the shops
patronized by foreigners.

Some Changes Are Made as a Result
Of Ore Boom In Nevada.
Reno Nev.-Tombstones are being
used for location monuments in the
new mining district near Sodaville,
where supposed fabulously rich ledge
of tungsten ore was discovered, ac-
cording to reports brought to Reno by
men who answer the call of the desert
and mark the boundaries of their
claim.
One miner located the village ceme-
terry, and as there were no rocks near
he used some OF the best looking tomb
stones to mark the boundaries of his
claip.
Others soon followed suit. and now
the relatives of the departed. inferred
three years ago, would have hard
time recognizing one grave from an
other.
