FROM THE PEOPLE
MOTOR TRIP TO PENNSYLVANIA

sharpsburg, Pa, Aug. 8.-Editor
News: Thinking that some of my
Springdale friends would like to
know how got through with my trip,
l will try, with your permission, to
inform them through the columns of
your paper.
We left johnson, Ark August 1,
arriving at Springfield, Mo, at p.
m same day, but had some trouble
there getting directions and informa-
ton in regard to route and roads, but
finally, through the courtesy of the
Western Motor Co We were supplied
with the necessary information and
road log TO 81. Louis, over what is
known as the Ozark Trail This trail
does not follow the Frisco railroad,
but goes through very much the same
country through which it passes, but
as many Of your readers know I was
driyiag. Henry and he doesn't
mind the hills.Z=
Arriving at st. Louis Friday even
ing. the third we were furnished with
a road log and map for the states of
Illinois and Indiana by the Goodrich
Rubber Co This took Us over the Old
National Highway to Indianapolis,
Ind. This IS being made fine road
for motoring, as it is being construct
ed of brick, concrete and asphalt
and runs through an almost level
country from St. Louis to Indianap-
oils. At Indianapolis we were again
furnished with road log and map by
the Goodrich people through the
states of Ohio and Pennsylvania, COM
pleting our route.
We arrived in Pittsburg, Pa. at s
a. m. on the 9Th in good condition and
feeling fine. Our accidents on the
road consisted of one puncture. re-
sulting from canvass tack picked
up at Terre Haute, Ind, and burned
out brake band near Wheeling, w.
w. Va The latter accident delayed
US three hours. We arrived with
Arkansas air in three of our tires,
and from the looks Of our tires We
will get back to Arkansas on the
same air. We made the run Of q67
miles in seventy hours, consuming
5612 gallons gasoline, at a cost of
1882.

should remember that II men out of
every thousand, at the army age, die
each year during peace time; that IS,
one man out of SO dies each year in
civil life.
Figuring deaths from both diseas-
es and wounds, under conditions such
as our boys are likely to encounter
any young man is only about three
times as likely to meet death in the
army as at home. In fact, a man in
the heavy artillery is in no more dan
ger of death than is an employee of
railroad.
1.-The person at home is prone to
picture the boy at the front as in
dulging in constant charges against
the enemy, exposing his life at every
hour of the day Such is far from the
Casa mans time comes to charge
once or twice a month. Then of
course, he is in grave danger But at
other times, he IS in no more danger
of death than he Is when walking
about the streets Of New York City
Gas Danger Is Lessened
The likelihood Of death from poi
sonous= gasses= has been reduced to a
minimum the use Of masks. etc.
At the beginning of the war men
thought it was smart not to don
their masks until the last instant;
they think SO no more. As soon as
! they get warning of a gas attack,
they don their masks instantly. They
are now fighting with their heads as
well as their arms and the result is
greater security.
Now let's look at the probability Of
a mans returning terribly wounded.
1t is an established fact that since
the first few months of the war, the
number of amputations nave been
very few Only one man in 500 loses
an arm or leg, few more than do
/ those men engaged In hazardous oc-
equations at home. Only during
] charges is a man likely to sustain a
wound that will main him for life.
Most of the wounds suffered in the
! trenches are clean cut and of a ma
/ ture that few weeks in the hospital
makes the subject as fit as ever. But
/ 300 900 French soldiers have been dis
charged on account of wounds during
i the three years Of the war.
"Fighting in the trenches, most Of
! the wounds are in the top Of the head,
simply scalp wounds in the majority
of cases, as a bullet must first pene-
trate a steel helmet, and in the left
arm and shoulder. somewhat exposed
+ in firing. Practically speaking, a
wound is either fatal or slight, with
j but few in between these two ex-
! tremes.
"Of course, the whole thing is horn
! bic enough as it is. But | wish to
tell the fathers and mothers left be-
hind by the boys, that, looking at the
matter in the light of cold blooded
statistics, these boys are not going
into anywhere near the danger the
folks at home imagine"

Manager Bean, Of the r. II.
4 4. Co., ON Saturday issued
the following public state
ment:
I'VE have made the following
statement to committee of en-
ployes representing Seattle and
Tacoma. As far as Tacoma COM
pany is concerned and speaking
for 1t, will say that we have In
perfectly good faith accepted a
proposition for a contract (copy
of which is shown in advertise
ment in this paper). which, while
1t carries with 1t a substantial in
crease in wages and various
changes In working conditions
and will, l believe, work a serious
hardship on this company-yet
we believe II il necessary to ac-
cept it in order to promote har-
mony.
Opportunity to Sign.
I'VE are giving our employees
an opportunity to sign this con-
tract, and In the meantime are
proceeding with the employment
of additional men and hope at an
early date to have the system In
operating order. As will be noted
from statement that was given to
and Tacoma employees, tho
only point of difference standing
between the company and the EN-
ployes is recognition of the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of
America.
Willing to Treat.
I'VE have pointed out repeated
ly the fact that we cannot in JUS
tice to the company recognize this
association and are still willing
to treat with our employees, either
individually or collectively. The
fact that we have agreed to ac-
cept the contract presented to us
by some of our employees, all of
whom are out of service of the
company, should be evidence to
the public that we are perfectly
willing to treat with an organiza-
ton of our own men without out
side affiliation."
