Carless America

From the Motor Life.
 Soon you are going to see the nov ing picture "Careless America. put out by the Firestone Tire company. You can't escape it. It is a thrilling and vivid sermon on Safety First in Motoring" and gives realistic examples of the dangers and expense of bad driving and improper use of tires. With the police of every city and hamlet co-operating, it will be shown in every picture theatre in America, and you should see it.
 This is not an advertisement. We have just seen the picture and were much impressed by it's thrill, sincerity and value.

 SLOGAN OF WILLING ENGLISH WORKERS
Letter From Tire-Makers Across Pond Tell of
 Difficulties

There is an adage, oft quoted to the effect that one-half the world does not know how the other half lives. This is emphasized in these days when com munication is so difficult and reliable information so hard to obtain from regions across the seas. As matter of military necessity scores of. interest," ing ''stories" have been killed" be- cause of the greater importance of keeping the information from the ene- my, than of furnishing expectant read- CTS with the news they have long de- sired
 Humanity throughout all the world is living under such changed condi- tions that the descriptions of living conditions that were true yesterday are hardly applicable today. All Of which makes us wonder how folks" are getting along in other parts of the world. In comparison with what our European allies have had to en- dure our workaday life has been It, tie more than just touched by the exig- encies of war. and our friends across the seas are wondering if we actual ly comprehend the magnitude of their war tasks and sacrifices.
 This is shown vividly in communi- cations received by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, O., from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Great Britain. "We often
 wonder what you people in Akron
 think about us in London or if you ever think about us at all and realize what we are up against" is a char acterstic expression of these letters.

 lowed by Sharp Gains in Many Issues.

New York, Jan. 17.-Drastic action Of the fuel administration caused @ serious break in the cotton market at today's opening. The decline ranged from 1-2 to cents a pound equal to $10 a bale
 Other stocks dropped from frac- tions to more than 3 points at the opening Within the half hour after the opening, virtually all the losses had been recovered. A sharp rally set in and in some cases were re- corded over last nights close.
 The early break in cotton was quickly followed by a vigorous rally which carried March contracts from 29 ts-over 30, recovering the initial loss
 The order of the fuel administrator created confusion and uncertainty in the financial district prior to the opening of the exchanges. There were numerous hurried conferences among the heads of the various bank and trust companies and other in stitutions.
 Officials of the stock exchange an- nounced this would continue as usual, pointing out that anything like a 5-day holiday would work severe dis advantages to thousands of investors and holders of securities generally. The exchanges will hold daily sessions l subject, however, to the regulations ] imposed by Washington.

German Chancellor Says Housing Conditions Arc Real Menacc-ASLS Fox Quick Relief.

Amsterdam, Jan. 17.-Chancellor von Hertlng made his first appear ance as a member of the Prussian cabinet in the Prussian upper house on Tuesday, to support the housing nill
 He said conditions which had grown up around the large German towns and industrial centers were such as might fill the members of the house with serious anxiety, real pain and occasional sorrow. Not only had the maintenance of repairs to houses been impeded and the increase of housing facilities become almost impossible, but the government desires to provide homes for returning soldiers which would be adequate and healthy
 Dr. Dernburg, speaking on the same bill, said conditions in the large towns were terrible and must be abolished The decline in the num- Der of births had been very great and the mortality of children under F months had been still worse.

 RUSSIAN TERMS Germans Willing to Make Further
 0VertureS to SlaVS SEEK BASIS FOR PEACE
End of Hostiiities On Eastern Front Would Not Mean General Concession ary Arrangements Unacceptable.

Berlin, Jan. IT, via IIondon-An of 1icial statement issued today, giving the reply by the Central Powers to the Russian proposals at Brest-Lit- ovsk on Monday, says the Russian proposals concerning the regions oc- cupied by the Central Powers, in their present form are unacceptable.
 The Austro- Germans, the statement adds, do not intend incorporating the territories now occupied by them into their respective countries.
 The official statement says the Rus sian proposals do not show com promising attitude and do not consid- CT the opposite parties on just basis. Nevertheless, it adds, the Central Powers again are prepared to give clearly formulated expression of their opinions and to try to find a. basis for a compromise.
 For the Central Powers, as distinct from the case with Russia, the an nouncement adds, conclusion of peace with Russia las no connection with a general peace and the Central powers are compelled to continue the war against their other enemies.
 "The assertion that the right of self is an attribute of nations and not of parts of nations, is not our conception of self-determln- ation," the official statement declares. "It must not be assumed that the limits of occupation are a standard for fixing the boundaries of such DOT tions.''
 The Central Powers agreed, it Is added, that vote of the peoples on broad lines be sanctiontd on the basis hnt that referendum appeared to be inn nractica ble. The Central Powers think that a vote on a wide basis talk en from the electors and supplement- ed by a representative body would suffice.

Gov. Mccall Comments.

Boston, Jan. 17.-In a statement re- garding the fuel situation in New England, Governor Mccall said today:
 'Ever since last spring I have pro- tested steadily against the taking of tugs and other facilities used in-bring- ing coal to New England, for the failure of fuel in our climate would amount to more than mere hardship. It would be the impairment of our first line of defense. But whatever the reason, the fact is that coal is becoming a very scarce article and we are pretty nearly in the clutches of necessity"
