CZECHO-SLOVAKTA
SONGS AND CUSTOMS

A distinctly new note was add
ed to the conference program in
the session Saturday afternoon in
the North Congregational church
with charming foreigner Ludmila
kucharoVa toXlee, a native of
Czecho-Slovakia, the entertainer.
Mrs. Foxlee is a worker among the
CZecho- Slovakian women at Ellis
Island and has been connected
with Y. w. c. A. work in her own
country. She appeared on the plat
form in the costume of her coun-
try in dress presenting the apnear-
ance of Bohefian, the quaint and
lovely head dress was brilliant in
cololing richly embroidered and
trimmed with lace made by her
countrymen. Her white full skirted
dress with its black bodice AID
bright panel was enhanced by the
loose high topped boots, the whole
costume adding a foreign touch to
the program. Her talk dealing
with the customs, the geography
and the people Of Czecho- Slovokil
was charming but the audiences
caught even geater charm when
she began to sing.
The music of the Czecho-S lova-
kains somewhat resembles that OF
the Italians. The highly infection
al language lends itself well to
music and Mrs. Foxlee's voice. ma
turally lovely, and highly cultiva-
ted, cast a spell over the big aud
iene, already captured by her ap-
pearance. She read the En~lish
TRANSACTIONS of the songs before
rendering them and so infectional
was her voice and so vivid her i'm
personation that her hearers IN
derstood the language as well as
the sentiment of the CZecho-S lova-
kians.
Miss Maude Brown was Mrs.
FOXlee's accompanist and her work
at the piano, her renultion OF the
quaint, lifting music, added greatly
to Mrs. FoXlee's songs.
Miss Ethel Woodruff Of Montpe-
her, chairman of the conference,
presided at the AFTERNOON session
and presented Mrs. Foxlee. Union
singing with Miss Laura Shields at
the piano was another pleasing
feature Of the afternoon meeting
Miss Katharine Warner, director
of music in the public schools, lead
the singing.
The balance Of the afternoon
was devoted TO sightseeing, the
delegates visiting the Athenaeum,
museum, Maple Grove Candy Co.
Inc, and other places Of interest.

Bisbee daily review., 1922-12-03

Automobile accidents kill one per son on an average of every 40 minutes or 35 a day on America's highways and streets. While you are reading this article at least two Americans will be injured in motor accidents.
 More Americans than were killed in the World War are being killed and injured in automobile mishaps this year. The total toll will be about 13,OO0 persons killed and approximately 4O,OO injured-many of these maimed for life
 not yet 15 years old Nine-tenths will be pedestrians, run down by autoists.
 Figures compiled for the Review by NEA Service in a nationwide sur vey show that in 1921 lives of 11,024 persons were snuffed out by auto mobiles, and approximately 35,00O were injured. These figures, com piled from vital statistic records O. each state, represent the most com plele CHeCk ever Illdue Ol IH6 Aln6fl- can juggernaut's fearful harvest.
 Motor fatalities will kill more peo- pie this year than typhoid, malaria and smallpox combined. They will exceed the deaths from appendicitis and equal diphtheria fatalities-and. in most cases, they could have been avoided
 And instead of decreasing or re- maining stationary, the percentage of automobile fatalities is steadily in creasing, despite all efforts to regu- late traffic.
 Fatalities on Increase Increase in automobile traffic and corresponding increase in the percent age of automobile fatalities per 100000 population is shown in figures for cities and counties where accur- ate death statistics are kept. Figures for these localities show that:
 In 1917, with 4,9S3,34O automobiles licensed, there were 6724 deaths in auto accidents, or a death rate from this cause of 90 per 10000 popula- tion,
 With 6.146,617 automobiles in 1918, there were 7525 fatalities, or 9.3 per 100000.
 Autos numbered 7,5SS,S4S in 1919.
