AUTO FATALITIES

Last year, the automobile killed TO-
900 persons in the United States: Prac.
tically all Of this slaughter was due to
the same thing that causes our enorm'
Gus annual IRE loss-carelessness. In
the case Of the auto. the carelessness Is
by no means one-sided. While the reck-
less driver is to blame for many deaths,
and should be dealt with severely. the
pedestrian Is often the cause OF fatal
ties.
In cities, particularly those with traf-
&c officers. the pedestrian has ten
dency to put all the responsibility for
his safety on the traffic officer and the
chauffeur. In . majority Of cases. if he
crosses only at the corners on which
there are traffic men, he will not get
hurt, but even so. 1t is foolhardy to step
directly in front Of automobiles that
have been given the GO" signal. as
some pedestrians do.
Jay walkers" who cross diasonally al
corners or between corners, contribute
heavily to the fatal accidents. II each
individual would adopt the simple rule
Of looking both ways before stepping of
the curb, no matter whether there be q
traffic man on duty or not, many lives
would be saved.

GROWTH OF LIFE INSUR-

II is an interesting fact that life In
surance in recent years has Increased
Independently Of general business con-
ditions. The figures also show that It's
growth Is greater in proportion than the
growth in population. These facts indi-
cate plainly some important distinctive
element in life insurance, which Is be-
coming impressed upon the minds OF 10
people.
The old days when people doubted the
integrity or financial stability OF lnsur-
ance companies are past. Legislation
has had much to do with this, as 1t Is a
generally known fact that no insurance
company can do business now without
proper legal safeguards and financial re-
serves. It II not hard now to;convince
the average man that he needs life. In
surance. Usually, 1t is a question OF
how much. Insurance, both large and
small, plays an important economic part
In every community. II II were not for
life insurance, county and city funds for
charitable purposes would have to be
enormously larger than they are, and
the burden OF private charity would also
be much heavier. This Is only one of
many good points about insurance.
Every man should carry what he can
AFFORD.

There are all sorts Of sources OF rev.
enuc that the average American has
never thought of which exist in Italy
simply because We have felt the pinch
for centuries. We have been in a coun-
try which has been invaded again and
again and again. We know what nov
erty means. We know what saving
means.
American people have been surround
ed by so much wealth you cannot know
what saving means. You have not
needed to know II. But We have needed
to know It, and We have known II. and
We have been able to barricade ourselves
behind all Of those forms of protection
and TO turn around that difficulty In the
future. We are turning around II now.
The figures of the supreme council
show that for the first nine months or
1919, Italy had an export trade which
was far in excess Of tho pre-war export
trade, not only in itself. but far In en-
cess OF the proportions given by Eng
land herself. Italy has exported durt'
those nine months 400 percent mere than
In the corresponding nine months OF
1914. England In the meantime has ex-
ported only 1888 percent.
Few people realize when we are
speaking of Italy, of poetry and music
and art and literature that We had dur

was the second largest In the world:
that we hau an autoNOplle W.T. Nc "HiSt.

HENRY FoRp's LATEST

Henry Ford has done several astonish'
ing things in the last several years, but
assuredly one Of the most astounding Is
his attack on the Jewish race. made IN
q series Of articles in his paper. THE
Dearborn Independent" The charges
made are said to be Of extraordinary
virulence and Of . nature that immedi-
ately creates doubt Of their truth, even
II there were no way to disprove them.
Briefly, the substance Of the charges
~ that the Jews and Freemasons have
for some centuries engaged In con-
spiracy TO produce revolution and an
archy. by means Of which they hoped
to attain the control Of the world by the
establishment Of some sort Of despotic
rule. Originally. these charges were
published In England The London
Morning Post was the only journal to
recognize them and 1t published COM
mentaries in which reference was made
10 Protocols" Of the same nature
secretly circulated during the war and
the further charge made that Boil
shsvisn Is q movement Of, for and by
the Jews
Recently, copies Of these printed
charges appeared IN the United States
and were circulated in the same manner
Is the vile charge against Senator Hard
ings ancestry. In Henry Ford's paper,
the Protocol charges have been re-
Deated. IL l. said. with elaboration.
When the Jews Of the United States first
hsarI OF these ISLANDERS, they considered
Il beneath their dignity to- take any
notice Of them. but In view Of the wide
circulation given them by Ford. are pre-
pairing a formal reply. signed by the
leaders Of the race in this country.
The editor Of the London Morning
Post. although violently anti-Jewish. ex-
presses his doubt Of the genuIneness OF
the Protocols" and the author OF the
series Of articles In the Post says that
they may or may not be genuine" It
IL almost incredible that any Intelligent
man would give credence and publicity
to such wild absurditics. The Jews con-
stitute less than one percent Of the
population Of the earth. The, charge
hat they originated BolsheYism Is false.
In the Bolshevist cabinet OF 20 there
are two members OF Jewish origin.
Trotzky II Jew by birth but has al
ways been a renegade from his church.
However, there Is little use in entering
Into details. No sane man or woman
Ian for an instant believe these charges
against the Jews. They sound like the
