The demonstrations at the proving

Study of Maryland Crashes
Reveals Responsibility
for Auto Disasters.

A three-month study of motor
accidents on Maryland roads has
brought to light the interesting dis
closure that vast majority Of the
disasters that overtake motorists are
brought upon themselves by their
own recklessness, and that 80 per
cent of them are due to speeding,
of Public Roads. published by the bu-
reau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture.
Careful Mt Danger Spots.
"One of the interesting develop
ments (of the investigation)." the
journal goes on to say, "is that the
largest number of accidents have
occurred at the places that have al
ways been considered safe, while the
regarded as being extremely danger
Gus are proving. to be relatively free
from accidents"
Where /khe state highway crosses
the Blue Ridge mountains, in the
western part of the state, and grades
are steep and curves sharp, there
were but eight accidents during three
months. On the National pike, be-
tween Baltimore and Frederick,
where there are forty-eight miles of
the straightest road in the state, the
record for the same time showed six
teen dCClueltS, Three VI WHICH were
fatal
"And yet" says the publication,
flew stretches of highway in the
whole road system are SO free of
any features which might be con-
sidered as dangerous"
On the Baltimore Washington road,
with all apparent danger spots re-
moved, the record shows that during
the same period there was one acci-
dent for every four miles of road.
Only One Answer.
There seems to be only one answer
to account for these hitherto unsus-
pected conditions" the article says.
That answer is:
Even the less careful motorists
drive cautiously in the presence of
recognized dangers, such as steep
grades. sharp curves, grade cross
ings. cts. while the absence of such
dangerous features gives the driver
sense of security which prompts
him to take a chance and yield to
the wellnight universal passion for
speed"
Few accidents were due, it was
found. to the condition of the roads
themselves: and most of those were
due to slippery surfaces caused by
rains.

From his aerial perch the flying pa
troll could discern automobiles on
many roads hurrying to the nre.
Along many trails crews OF men on
foot seemed to make exasperatingly
slow progress in the same direction.
In the meantime the smoke grew into
an enormous yellowish white fog
that screened the surrounding forests,
and in the aerial patrols ears came
the roar Of conf1agration punctuated
by the booming of falling trees. Where
The wind blew smoke away the patrol
could see the flames leaping from tree
top to treetop.
Heroic Efforts Fail.
After what seemed an interminable
wait, the patrol noted various gangs
Of men at work. They were combat
ing that most terrifying, most un-
governable and dangerous of all re-
beIlious elements-the forest fire. For
a day and night and another day the
battle waged. Grimy men. black as

weary hours dragged on. And amid
the confusion and crash of falling
timber the ranger and his foremen
generated the battle.
Only Barren Scar Left.
Several days later a wide. barren
scar lay upon the mountainside. still
smoldering in places where the black
splinters of the charred stumps pointed
like accusing fingers, and still be'ching
out masses of yellowish white smoke.
The scar covered hundreds of acres, and
it would continue to smolder and smoke
for weeks, while all about in the ad-
jacent woods were fire guards constant
ly vigilant to see that the enemy did
not creep out and strike again.
And far away the automobile tourists
journeyed carefree and utterly uncon-
cerned. At sawmill they stopped for
a few minutes to watch the logs in slow
procession from the pond to the band
saws. What a shame" exclaimed the
man with the cigarette, in burst of
sentimental revolt, what a shame to
cut down these beautiful trees"

BILL FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION
IN SENATOR TOWNSEND'S HANDS
Measure Submitted for Early Introduction
by Lee Highway Association Is Urged
Upon Congress.

A rough draft Of a bill proposing
a comprehensive program of highway
construction has been submitted to
Senator Charles E. Townsend. chair
man Of the Senate committee on post
offices and post roads. by the Lee
Highway Association, with a request
early in its December session. ac--
cording to Dr. S. NJ. Johnson, general
director of the organization.
The association advocates the crea-
tion of a federal highway board of
seven, three Of them -officio and
graphical representation, and on a
salary, the three ex-officio members
to be the United States director Of
public roads. the United States chief
engineer and the assistant secretary
of the Department of Commerce.
Duty Of the Board.
The duty of the board will be to
select, arrange and designate a sys-
tenn of national highways not to ex-
ceed 10000 miles. until such mileage
Is completed and adequate main
tenance established thereon, after
which the system may be expanded.
These highways are to be chosen in
cooperation with the state highway
departments and are to include those
whose function, "nen constructed,
will be predominantly a federal func-
tion. The esponsibility, therefore, for
the construction and maintenance will
rest entirely with the federal gov
ernment
The board will be charged with the
duty of preparing map Of the sys-
tenn. and utilizing surveys already
made, or securing necessary surveys
and submitting the map with esti-
mates of cost of construction, and also
cost of adequate maintenance. to Con-
gress for further action, after which
the board will pass out of existence,
unless further action is taken by
Congress.
Connect Population Centers.
The governing principle in the Sc
lection of the highways will be that
they connect centers of population,
and afford economical, motor trans
port. from state to state and section
to section throughout the national
domain. Their distribution VIII be
such that they will serve as the main
trunk lines Of a scientifically ar
ranged system, the intervening spaces
of which would be served by the
state highways and the county sub
divisions.

$500 BLUE BIRD SHOWS OFF
Hangs Head Down in Cage to Dis
plsy Gorgeous Plumage-
Cost $1,000.

New York.-The New York Zoo
logical society recently paid 81 200 for
a pair of blue birds of paradise, and,
in the opinion of Director HOrnaday,
it got fine bargain.
The birds were captured in New
Guinea by Ellis Joseph's, collector.
and are known as Prince Rudolph's
blue birds of paradise. So far as
known, they are the only specimens
Of their kind in captivity.
Recently when the male bird had ar
rived at the height of his beauty dis
play. he was noticed during various
contOrtions, the least Of which seemed
to be a fondness for hanging In his
cage head downward. Hurried mes
sages were sent for Director Horna-
day, who soon saw the bird was only
taking this unusual method TO dis
play his beautiful plumage.
