be one Of the seventy persons who
would be killed by accidents in this
city during the week in the ordinary
course of events. The campaign has

these seventy lives weekly, and to
demonstrate that it is possible to pre-

The fifteenth annual electrical show
opened yesterday at the Grand Central
Palace with an attendance of more than
10000, a record for similar opening
days. The large number of visitors
was attributed to the fact that the
show this year includes not only mod
ern electrical appliances, but also tho
Museum of Edisonia, comprising all
the devices used by Thomas A. Edison
forty years ago when he invented his
central station lighting system.

of the first floor the Tribune Institute
offered it's services to a number Of
housewives who hesitated about the
choice Of some modern electric appli-

The industrial exhibits, which are
to be found principally on the second
floor, demonstrate the use of electric

Although the radio exhibit is moro
comprehensive than last years and
occupies whole section Of the main
floor, the visitors yesterday seemed
to treat IL as matter of course. At
the time Of last years show there
were no commercial broadcasting sta
tions, and the public therefore found
much interest in the temporary broad
casting station set up at the show.
This year the Electrical Show Is with

The public's interest in radio has not

1t is pointed out by those in charge
of the campaign that during the cor
responding week of 1921, October S
to ID, seventy persons lost their lives
through accidents In New York City.
During the whole of the year 1921, ac-
cidents took 3,4S5 lives, an average
of sixty-seven weeh. In the first nine
months of 1922 the weekly average has
risen to seventy deaths.
Hops to Save Is Per Cent
The mere optimistic among those as
sociated with the drive say it is not in
conceivable that New York should come
through a week without single fatal
accident. Others assert, however, that
25 per cent reductions saving of
seventeen lives weeks the best that
can be expected in city of the size
and temperament Of New York. Judge
Gary says, "If we save just one human
life during the week the effort viii
have been justified"
The progress of the drive will be
noted daily at the safety institute.

FOLL|ES BEAUTY'S
FAMILY TALK Of
ENDING MARRIAGE
Relatives Say Geneva Mitchell
Returned Ring to Young
Savage Before He Left.

Geneva Mitchell of tho chorus in
"Sally" and the Midnight Frolic," :"
who was married last week at Milford,
Conn, to twenty-ycar-o Robert Saw
age, was reported to-day to be con-
sidering a suit fer the annulment OF
the marriage.
Her grandfather. s. W Rice, of No.
3O7 West 9Sth Street, confirmed the
report that Geneva, who is seventeen,
and her husband separated Saturday
night and that he left he following
day for La Jolla, CAL TO see his
mother.
ITS mystery to US why Geneva
ever married him" said Mr.. Rice.
THE day after they were married an
uncle of hers accompanied her to
young Savage's apartment IN his hotel
for dinner, when she told HIM she
didn't think she cared enough for him
to live with him"
Miss Mitchell, according to the re-
port of the separation, allowed Saw
age to see her to her grandfather's
apartment, where she had been max
ing her home even after her marriage,
and when they reached the door
handed him her wedding ring, de-
claring she didn't want it any longer.
Mr.. Rise said the girl mother,
Mrs. Ncrna Mitchell, probably would
start an action this week to have the
marriage annullcd on the ground
that each is under age.
