it for the benefit of all amateur ath-
letics in Boise. A campaign is now
being closed to raise fund of $4,000
for the new stands.
Claude Gibson, manager of the
Armistice Day game, has announced
that all grandstand and bleacher
sets will be sold at the flat rate of
$3.50. A few boxes will be placed
along the side lines, and box seats
will be sold at SO each.
The reason for the flat price is
the large advance sale, as a heavy
expense is undertaken for the game
and no insurance is provided against
loss even though the admission
price is held as low as possible.
Even with the new stands the
seating capacity at the park will be
limited, so fans who desire to see
the game from the best vantage
point should order ther tickets in
advance. Mail orders addressed to
Mr.. Gibson at the Empire building,
Boise, will be filled in order of re-
ceipt, all the best seats going first
without partiality.

Boise, Idaho, October 18.-New

The first six months of 1922 show
an increase of AZ per cent in per,

sons injured over the first six
months of 1921, revealing the fact
that at the present rate the total
number of persons killed and in
jured will exceed that of any prev
ious year.
A check recently made at 800
grade crossings in the United States
showed that of 3O6,306 vehicles
which passed over the railroad grade
crossings, only 6696 stopped for
proper observations. 156,607 passed
over crossings without any precau-
tion being taken by the driver; 62,-
$40 looked in both directions when
approaching crossings, but did not
make any safety stop to look and
listen; 61,6S7 looked in one direc-
tion only; 26,453 went over cross
ings at over 20 miles per hour, and
some of these at great speed. On the
whole, only 2,1 per cent of the driv-
ers took the necessary safety pre-
caution to stop, look and listen.

number of railroad and highway
