Report
Shows Growth
in Work Scope

The increasing business of the
public library was matter of In
terest to the members of the library
board at their melting on Monday
evening. During August 47S5 books
were loaned to patrons whereas in
August Of 1919, previous records
for August were broken by a circu-
lation of 4O75. From June to
September 1, 1900 more books were
loaned than during the same period
of last year. This is one mere in
dication OF the way in which busi-
aess in developing.
The library now has a collection
of 15,441 books and pamphlets and
many new books now received are
awaiting cataloging. Among the
waiting books are so volumes which
are gifts of the American Library
association from their large work
providing books for soldiers. At
the close of the war, books for
which there was no longer need in
the camps and on the battleshfps
were sent to the state centers to be
distributed to the libraries which
had raised money and gathered
books for the service. One thou
sand such books were sent to our
state library for oregon libraries.
This collection is in no way a re-
compense to the citizens of Salem
for the $500 and the thousanoss e.
books which they contributed, II =
merely a token of the good faith OF
the American Library association in
making the best use of its book sup
ply. Most of these books are tech
nical books which the library would
not feel justified in purchasing.
The board welcomed the arrival
of Miss Alice waldron, who comes
from Simmons College Library
school where she has completed
her library training. Miss Waldron
takes the position of school librar-
ian, succeeding Miss Lottie Peters
who resigned to accept the librar-
ianship at Pacific university. For
est Grove. A vacancy remains in
the library staff which the board
has not yet been able to fill, be-
cause of the dearth of trained IL
brarians which prevails throughout
the entire country this year.

There have been various press
interpretations Of viscount Uchl-

in Hawaii studying the Japanese
language and possible objection on

Auto Accidents
Increasing at
Alarming Rate

Chicago, Sept. 15.-With statis-
tics sowing that automobile acci-
dents are killing men, women and
children at an average Of one every
thirty-five minutes, the Ninth An
nual Safety Council. at its sessions
in Milwaukee September ~ to Oc-
tober /, will devote much attention
to this serious situation.
In St. Louis, Cleveland and other
cities local councils OF the National
Safety Council have already reduc-
ed the numbersof automobile acci-
dents by the united efforts of pub
lie offfcials, civic organizations and
public spirited citizens, and v =
planned to make the work nation
wide In scope.
8. j. Williams, secretary and
chief engineer Of the National Safe
ty Council, is authority for the
statement that three times as many
are killed in all public accidents as
in all industrial accidents, including
railroads. mines, public utilities,
construction work, etc., as well as
factories. According to present
indications and the experience of
past years, the number of automo-
bile fatalities in 1920 will be about
two thirds OF all Industrial fatali-
ties. This situation Is alarming
enough without exaggeration. The
most alarming feature Of 1t is that.
while industrial accidents have
been decreasing, due to the ener-
getic safety work Of the large in
dustriaI companies which are mem
bers Of the National Safety Council,
and while the public accidents on
steam and electric railroads have
been decreasing as a result OF simt-
lar work, the number Oh automobile
accidents has been increasing very
rapidly. Figures just compiled for
the National Safety Council by the
statistical department of a large
life insurance company show that
the death rate from railway acci-
dents per nfgllion Of population has
decreased in ten years from 160 to
los; from, street railway accidents,
from 36 to 28; from accidents on
other vehicles. from Al to 81; while
the death rate from automobile ac-
cidents has increased in ten years
from to 90. The latter figure was
reached in 1918, and recent figures
from the larger cities indicate that
the rate is still going up.
