RATIO OF AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS DECREASING

As the result of a careful study OF
the police department records of auto
mobile accidents in New York city, the
department OF health finds that the
number of deaths caused by automo-
biIes in that city has decreased from
S.s2 per 1000 cars in 1902 to only l.2S
per 1000 in 1916.
"Tf the ratio OF deaths from auto
mobile accidents to automobiles opera
ted that prevailed in 1905 had pre-
vailed in 1916. over 1,6O0 persons
would have been killed." says DIR. s.
". Whine, assistant registrar Of the
department OF health. land II we as
sumo that the ratio OF deaths to acci-
dents remains fairly constant, about
10000 persons would have been in
tured instead Of 1900.
~while there still remains an i'm
portant element OF carelessness and
even recklessness upon the part OF
operators, the most important factor
10 the congestion of city streets by
pedestrians and vehicular traffic. 1t
would therefore seem that our great
est efforts must be directed toward
the correction and relief Of this con-
Eestion-~

SAYS MOTOR TRUCK
LINES WILL SOLVE
RAILROAD PROBLEM

within the very near future, prob
ably during 1918, a system of motor
truck lines will connect the most i'm
portant transportation centers of the
country, with fleets OF trucks running
on regular schedules and making con-
nection at important intersectinK
points with branch lines extending out
into tributary territory" prophesies
G. A Kissel, president of the Kissel
Motor Car Company.
Truck Oners Solution.
'whilo everyone knows that the
transportation problem is one OF the
most serious OF the many for which
this country must fnd the solution,
everybody does not realize the import
ant part which the motor truck will
play in solving II.
Viewed in one way, the utilization
of the motor truck has Increased with
remarkable rapidity; and yet, when
you look at il from another viewpoint,
1t is surprising how slow business
has been to take full advantage OF
the enormous saving OF time and
labor which the motor truck makes
possible.
THE motor truck may fairly be
SAID TO nave supplanted the team Tor
hauling and delivery purposes. But
We do not yet realize the extent to
which it is going to relieve the rail
roads in handling a large tonnage
OF small and troublesome freight, and
to improve transportation service
throughout the country.
"Some beginnings have been made
and the results have proved most sue
cessfuL Motor trucks are now run
ming on regular schedule between
some adjacent cities. In England they
have carried the system much further,
and goods trains trucks, with
string OF trailers, traverse many parts
Of the country.
Lesson of the War.
'Tn this development, as in 50 many
others. the war has taught US more
than we would otherwise have learned
in many years. Where would the
French and British armies be with
out their enormous fleets of motor
trucks and lorries?' What the motor
truck is doing TODAY behind the lines
in France, It can do for US in this
country"

GOODYEAR TIRE
DEALER SERVICE
WELL DEVELOPED

Make two miles grow where one
grew before" This is what both tire
manufacturer and consumer are in
terested in now more than ever be-
fore. For years the great rubber
manufacturing companies have en-
ployed the best brains of the coun-
try to put the best materials obtain
able into tires. They have conducted
extended experiments in the field and
in the laboratory. and have created
efficient machinery and equipment
to the common end that pneumatic
tires might be made better than the
tires OF decade ago.
In this program the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company has been one
OF the recognized leaders. That mo-
torists might derive the greatest
mileage from their tires, this COM
pany introduced the dealer service
idea Now motorists are not only
able to purchase better tires than
formerly, but are informed along
tire conservation lines. Advice on
tire Initiation, detection OF stone
bruises. tread cuts, and other tire
ailments-all these the tire buyer re-
ceives when purchasing a tire.
But the building OF miles into
tires goes even beyond that. Often
tire Ills are beyond hope OF cure by
the owner. and an appeal to the tire
repairman Is necessary. And the far
seeing repairman does more than re-
pair the tire that is brought to him;
he inspeets the other three tires for
impending trouble This is his SER
vice.
In the manufacture Of proper re-
pair materials the needs OF VulcSn-
izers are kept well in mind. The
every day problems of the repairman
are being duplicated at the factory
constantly, testing out the materials
throughly before they are permitted
to 60 out to the users.

PEACE POSSIBLE
SAYS HARDEN
TO GERMANS
Popular Leaders Of European
Nations Urge Conciiatory
Consideration Of Terms of
Peace.

London, Jan. 20. - Maximilian
Harden devotes thirteen closely
printed pages in the latest issue of
Die Zukunft, to reproducing "the
real texts" of the recent speeches of
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George. He says thoughtful and
conscientious men should read the
speeches quietly and without preju-
dice, and criticizes in astonishingly
outspoken fashion Germany's atti-
tude toward Austria in the conduct
of the Russian negotiations.
Herr Harden virtually accuses
Germany of forcing Austria-Hun-
gary into the war, and says peace
might have been obtained the first
week at Brest-Litovsk ii the Ger
mans had not posed as conquerors
and had not demanded territory.
Referring to President Wilson's
speech, Herr Harden says:
Belief is still firm that peace is
possible, and that that cleavage be-
tween the two fighting groups no
longer is so wide that it can be filled
only by new heaps Of corpses. 1t
will, however, widen into an un-
bridgable gulf If the people again re-
fuse to acknowledge a changed
world"
He pleads for the sanctity of treat
les, a reduction of armaments, the
right to self-determination of ma
tions, and favOrs a reconsideration
Of the question of Alsace-LOrraine.

Berlin, Jan. "a. Count von
Hertling, in his address before
the reichstag committee, said
that the evacuation Of Russian
territory was a question which
only concerns Russia and the
Central Powers.
Commenting on the fourteen
points in the program for world
peace set forth in President Will
sons address to congress, the
chancellor said an agreement
could be obtained without diff
culIy on the first four points
Regarding the fifth point men.
toned by President Wilson, the
chancellor said, some difficulties
would be met with.
Germany never demanded the
incorporation Of Belgian terri
tory by violence, the chancellor
asserted. He said the state OF
Poland would be decided by Ger
many and Austria Hungary.
When all other questions had
been settled, Germany would be
ready to discuss the question OF
a league Of peace, he said.
The chancellor demanded that
the leaders Of the nations at war
with Germany set forth new pro
posals. The terms outlined by
President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George contained certain
principles that could be accepted
by Germany, he said, but the con-
crete proposals were unsatisfac-
tory. "
Count Won Hertling said he would
not forestall Turkeys attitude toward
point 10 in Mr.. Wilson's address. but
he added that the Integrity Of Tur-
key and the safety Of her capital
were closely connected with the ques-
tion OF. the straits which was of i'm
portant interest to- Germany.
