ALARMING NUMBER OF MOTOR TRAFFIC
ACCIDENTS SUGGESTS PUBLIC SAFETY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR LOCALITIES

Aroused by the large number OF
accidents and fatalities attributed
to motor mishaps, scores of cities
and localities throughout the Uni
ted States began the week of Oc-
tober to ii with the observance
of seven days for safety" part Of
the safety season suggested by
the highway education board.
According to the most reliable
statistics, the board says, at least
1000 persons were killed in motor
accidents during 1921, while $780,
600 persons received minor or
major injuries during the same
period. This death and accident
toll, says the board, can be laid
directly at the door of carelessness
and ignorance. 1t is in an effort to
correct this situation that the
safety season." with its component
parts, Is suggested
one of the unfortunate features
is the fact that accurate statistics
Of the number Of accidents and
deaths cannot be had from all COM
munities. The boards estimate is
based on the best figures obtain
able from the bureau of census,
In the observance of the safety
season" in New York city, one of
the outstanding activities is safety
week" under the direction of the
Safety Institute of America, with
Judge Ebert H. Gary at the head
of its public safety committee. In
New York the week was divided
into special days and virtually tho
same procedure was followed in
other cities.
One of the chief suggestions for
the observance OF the safety sea-
som and "safety week. is that in
each city a public safety executive
committee be appointed by the
mayor, or other competent author
ity, which should be charged with
the duty of carrying on the other
activities of the season." In this
manner the safety campaign in
each locality is thus entrusted to
those who feel the greatest concern

land responsibility for it. Among
those suggested to serve on these
committees are representatives
from the police department,
schools, chambers of commerce,
mothers and women's clubs, city
clubs, civic organizations, Rotary
clubs, Kiwanis clubs and kindred
bodies.
Although the safety season"
was brought forward as 4 progress
sive idea the board in its announce
ments emphasizes that 'the psy-
Geological value of stressing a
principle during a certain fixed pc
Rod, such as a week, should not be
neglected"
Two features of the safety sea-
son" are the national safety essay
contest among children of element

school teachers. who are invited to

DEMAND IN MEXICO

Mexico City, Oct. 2I.-During

leo imported from the United
States $I,702,4S9 worth of flour,
and the demand for the American
products is said to be on the in

no matter how much flour is pro-
duced in Mexico. the hard Ameri-
can flour is needed to mix with the
Mexican product TO make u bread
palatable to wheat bread consum-
ers. 1t might also be mentioned
that during the same fiscal year

MORE NAVAL LIMITATION

The League of Nations, consider

There is no evident reason why
such action should not be takep.

polluted. . Thus with a single SEN
sesfee one more romantic relic
falls under the ban Of modern sani-

Nor IS the web Of questionable pu-
fity confined to Connecticut. 1t

being the case, it behooves the
owners Of these drinking places,
and all casual visitors who seek
the pleasant countryside to be
sure of the quality OF the water
before they drink.
It is a simple matter to have a
test made to determine the purity
OF drinking water. It Is infinitely
cheaper and easier than curing the
disease likely to follow the con-
sumption OF that which is impure.
Where tests are impractical or
there is any reason for doubt. the
