HOW TO CHECK ACCIDENTS.

Automobile casualties for a sum- mer season in this country will soon be more deadly than the battles of the Argonne forest, the way things are going. The roads get more and more crowded. A lot of people are driving cars who have not sufficient judgment to operate a baby carria ge. Are their actions to be permanently tolerated, with the loss of life and injury sure to result?
 Police officers do what they can to hold traffic in check. andt' the courts impose severer sentences than for merly. But they get a chance to act only in extreme cases, and many dis graceful things happen that they never hear of.
 It is the habit of most people to make no complaint of things that happen on the road. unless they are actually the victims of a smash If one simply has a narrow escape, he good-naturedly lets the incident go, not desiring to make trouble for any one else.
 As a consequence a certain pro- portion of drivers are doing reckless things all the time. Usually those who attempt these stunts are fairly skilful and they get away with it. But the most skilful driver will occasion ally miss his calculations
 If drivers would notice the number of cars that do reckless things. and notify the automobile authorities it would have a most useful effect It would reveal a lot of joy riders whose acts are a menace.
 After a motorist had had a few complaints handed in, he would real ize that he must have a care. If all careful motorists would act upon this plan, they could greatly reduce the risk of accident in this state.

WASHINGTON, April g. Repro sentative Campbell, cha rman of the Rules committee, opening the fight for the adoption of the joint resolu- ton declaring the war with Germany over, dec.ared Congress should assert this fact that the Americans and Ger mans are now no longer in mortal con flict.

Rep. Pou further said the measure was designed to em- barass Wilson. The Republicans jeer- ed this latter statement.
