"Scum" Was Valuable.

One of the biggest oil fields In
America was for two generations oc-
cupied by the buildings and fields of
an ordinary farm, through which ran
a creek which issued from the ground
In remote corner of the estate.
The farmer had always been trou-
bled with what he called the "scum,"
and had put plank across the little
rivulet to keep it back. An oil pros
pector, after the farmers death, found
that the scum was petroleum. or min
eral oil, and that land became valu.
able as If 1t had been rich gold
6eld.

Washington, Dec. 6.-tAssociated

 killed in autopobile accidsnis. or died as result Of iniIr..'s therctr.nr. dur Ing the last yea, the Census Burea u announced in q statement offei ing SUE gestions for traffic Improvements. An automobile accident dcatt 'a:e of i4.1 out of every 100000 population was
 reported for 1s1s.. An increase over every year since 1915 when the rate was s.O- and an incr ase of 245 in the total number of deaths over 1918.
 Each year it becomes more and more dangerous for a person to walk the streets" the Census Bureaus statement sad. The reason us ally given, and probably the correct one. Is that the number or automohi c, in use Is constantly increasing. How then shall this ever-increasIng dan- ger oo lessened? The obvious remedy IS to improve constantly the tr. fife regulations to keep pace with the eNer-increasing number of automo- piles.

The lsis rates for Kansas City. Mo-, San Antonio and Cleveland, all much low CT than for 1918, furnish a ray of nope that we are finally waking up."
 suggestions made by the Bureau Tor Traffic Improvement follow:
 Erection at street crossings of curbed safety islands, which at the most dangerous spot, should be very close together.
