cars were on their way to replace the
wrecks.
The young American college men
who enlist in America for the ambu-
lance service have to date received
seventy-eight citations in French
army orders for va1or. The decora-
lions include two military medals and
rs croix de guerre. Two drivers have
been killed by shells, some have died
of pneumonia and many have been
wounded. Among the latter is VIII
liam Barber Of Toledo, o., who has
recovered and returned to the front.
The American cars are known in
almost every scene Of campaign on
the French front-on the User, Aisne,
Somme in Champagne, at Verdun, in
the Argonne, Woevre, Lorraine, AL

There Is an American atmosphere
about the headquarters Of the service
in Paris. Located in Passy, one of
the oldest parts Of the city, on the
Seine and within shouting distance
OF the famous Eiffel tower, the build
ing is surrounded by ten-acre park,
in which Benjamin Franklin first

the executives OF the service III tHe
upper portion, and below typical col
lege dormitories, where the young
Americans rest and sleep while in
training for sterner duty at the front.
Notwithstanding the German subma-
rine blockade, more of these young
Americans and more cars arrived
here in February than during any
other month. The number of men
was 112, from states as far west as
California, and the cars. were 140.

this remarkable product. The fact that

TOO MUCH SPEED
CAUSES N|SHAPS
Iowa Highway Commission Finds That
Too Much Hurry Combined With
Road Conditions Causes
Spills.
AS BAD AS BLOODY WAR
Number of Men Killed or Injured in
Iowa in Last Year, Reads Like
Casualty List Of
Army.

The Iowa highway commission mas
issued it's revised report for 1915,
showing that the state spent nearly
SIS, 900 900 on road and bridges during
the year. This is nearly 100000
more than the estimate made by ex-
perts earlier in the year
The figures are compiled from the
reports of expenditures made by the
counties. Roads took s7,164,810 and
bridges and culverts $,172,246.
OF the sums spent, forty per cent of
the road fund went for permanent
work and 1913 per cent Of the bridge
work Of the year was permanent.
While counties and townships spent
the huge sum Of nearly s15,0O0,OOO,
they had on January /, 1917, nearly
100000 additional for road and
bridge work, the commission says.
However, there are bonds outstanding
amounting to about S6,O34,96S so that
on January /, 1917 the state had net
obligations amounting to S7,l66,45o,
Iowa has a grues ONE record of 1873
people killed in highway accidents dur
ing the year 1916 according to the re-
port. Fffty-three of these deaths came
On railroad crossings. All told, news
paper clippings carried reports of p
S34 motor car accidents with more or
less injury to 2,574 persons.
"These records" says the report,
"are compiled entirely from newspa-
per clippings. The commission has no
other means aside from the clippings
to secure this information. Inaccur-
acies in dates, names and addresses
will quite likely be found in these re-
ports. It is also quite likely that
there were additional deaths not &C
counted for in this record, and that
there were many moro serious acct
dents.

from motor cars. few accidents re-
suit from car breakages and con-
siderably larger number from mex
perienced drivers. The great majority
are due to absolute recklessness.
ut is rather appalling to con-
slider the number of accidents in which
a lone driver of car is found dead
or fatally hurt beneath his over
turned or wrecked car. Several men
during the past winter have been
found dead and their bodies frozen
solid, indicating that they had lain I'M
der their cars for hours. Instances
are on record Of number of people
sometimes two or more in the party,
being pinned under cars, unable to ex-
tricate themselves until some passing
car brought assistance.
Had as many Americans been
killed by Mexican raiders as Iowa citi-
zens were killed by reckless car driv-
ers on the highways Of the Hawkeye
state during 1916, there would have
been bloody war between the two ma
lions.
at is questionable whether legisla
ton of any kind prescribing limit
of speed would be affective in reduc-
ing the number of reckless drivers.
Cancellation of the right to drive a
car would, if enforced. bring. results.
The only effective way to curb the
speed evil would be to forbid the
sale of high speed cars, for there are
reckless and careless drivers who will
continue to have accidents as long as
they are allowed to run cars on the
highways.'
