upon analysis. will show how
millions of organized automobile
owners, acting as a group having
common interest. win gradually
approach these two objects.
The resolutions adopted at the
recent organization convention in
Chicago indicate the principal di-
rections of activity: They may be
summarized as follows:
/. Creation of a nation wide sys-
tenn of traffic lines with lateral
roads feeding them.
2. The working out OF funda-
mental and more nearly uniform
principles for handling traffic in
the larger cities.
8. An engineering survey and

purpose of recommending proper
types, widths, general construction
and maintenance of highways to
meet present and future require
ments.
4. Systematic elimination of grade
crossings and similar menaces.
5. Analysis OF the causes of au-
tomobile stealing and insistence
upon stricter law enforcement
6. Establishment of a legal de-
partment.
Z. Organization of a national
clearing house for touring informa-
tion.
s. The working out Of a standard
for effecting, among automobile
clubs throughout the country, an
Interchange of emergency first aid
and road service.
9. Extension of safety education
in the schools.
10. Support of that part of the
automobile industry and trade
which is seeking to advance the
industry; and condemnation Of the
activities of that part which, by
unethieal and iiiegitimate prac-
tices, preys upon the motorist and
brings disrepute to the industry.
In addition, a very important
part of the work will lie in the
State and national legislative halls
Discriminatory taxes on, the motor
ist will be opposed, and IL added
taxes are necessary. sound levies
will be suggested. Road legislation
is to be considered in the samo
way.

membership.
A campaign Is now under way
to obtain 100000 members by the
end of this year. With their FAM
ilies, this would mean that the
association represented close TO
5, 100000 persons.
To organize that number o!
Americans. especially with the
avowed intention OF using the
power of the group. should lead
keen-minded men to inquire. What
are they going to do, and how viii
they do it?"
II the aim of this article were
to be sensational. the objects might
be stated in this manner:
1. To ight for the rights Of the
motorist.
2. To fight against taxation.
8. To night against fool laws that
burden the motorist.
4. To fight for better roads.
5. To Tight everything and every
body that doesn't make things
pleasant for the motorist.
6. To tight.
But. in fact. the object is not to
fight for or against anything, but
sound laws and sound road meas
ures. and to discharge the just
duties of automobile owners and
lay claim to the fair rights due
them.
This is the prime motive of the
National Motorists Association.
What will be the result?

bile and related lines-will benefit

II deaths in Kentucky are as nu l.
merous during the second six
months Of the calendar year 1922
as they were during the months from
January through June, the State s
death rate will be materially higher
than it was in 1921, j. f. Blacker
by, director of the State Board OF
Health Bureau of Statistics, an
nounced this week.
The death rate for the first six
months Of this calendar year was
li.2, which was an increase of 10
per cent from the 10. l rate for 1921.
This rate of increase probably
will be maintained throughout the
entire year, Mr.. Blackerby said.
Deaths from influenza, he added,
contributed most to the general in
crease, there being So2 deaths from
this cause, as against III for same
period in 1921 and 263 for that
entire year.
The increase in the influenza
death rate" Mr.. BLACKBERRY added,
is generally attributed to the fact
that the period of immunization of
those vaccinated during the cpl
denies of 1918 and 1919 has ex-
PRED. With the subsistence of the
general alarm prevalent at that
time, general use of the serum was
more or less abandoned, and the
early symptoms of those afflicted
were not considered serious enough
to cause calling physician. The
call, our figures show, was for the
undertaken instead in pathetically
large number of cases."
