For the first time in thirty years
tie Columbia river between Kenne-
vick and Pasco is frozen over from
shore to shore. For several days
vurkmen on the new highway bridge
have been crossing back and forth
across the ice.
According to w. F. Sonderman, the
Columbia has not been frozen over
here since the winter Of 1923. Dur.
ing that winter the channel of the
river was closed for several days. He
recalls that the first crossing was
made one Sunday when he, as Ken.

panied by q number Of rooters, cross.

pion in an exhibition match. The ice
then was much smoother than now
and with the exception of a short dis
lance in midstream, where the ice
was rough, they skated across. In
eidently "Bill" admits that Kenne-
wick won the match.
Mr.. Sonderman states that while
there we're lower temperatures &c

DIRECT-BY-M
 ADVERTISING IS
 FEATURE OF SHOW

Complete direct-by-rnail advertis- ing campaigns will be one of the fea- Graphic Arts Exposition at Mechanics Building. Boston, August 2s-septem- Der 2.
 One of the campaigns to be shown will be how a large concern recently marketed a new automobile battery. Each piece of literature will be mount ed on large card with a printed dee- cription of the matter and how it was used.
 In this particular campaign the ma- terial used needed both to announce the battery and assist the sales force. The problem was to get quick distri- prospective dealers Speed was es- sential to build up production and to forstall competition.
 After carefully considering ways and means it was decided that direct mail advertising was the surest and best method of solving the problem. It was further decided to back up the direct mall campaign with a, minimum amount of national magazine and trade paper advertising to serve as a sustaining Influence, while the direct mail advertising would be depended upon to get quick returns.
 The direct mail campaign consisted of preliminary announcement, fol- lowed by three broadsides designed to have dealer and consumer appeal. A color scheme of orange, blue and black was adopted for all literature. The first broadside mailed to 55,00O battery stations was 25x3S inches. One side was a poster and the other gave the dealer interesting informa- tion about the proposition.
 This first broadside was followed at intervals of 60 days by two more broadsides each 25x19 inches in size.
 The first poster brought 500 return cards. the second All and the third 2S6; a total of 1500 inquiries. AS a result of this campaign over 10000 a far>io -4II increase of 25 per cent, in the num- Der of distributors handling that bat tery, and a general stimulation of dealers that has made the work of the salesman easier since the campaign.

Insufficient Street Lighting Cause of
 Many Accidents

With a 1921 registration of more than 6o3.o0o motor, vehicles in New England. and over S6o,000 in Massa- chusets alone for the first half of 1922. surveys have been made to de- termine the cause of the alarming in crease in motor accidents. The h. surance Press estimates that approxi- rnatefy 100000 people throughout the United States were injured by motor vehicles during 1920. This is at the rate of 1 person injured in every 100 of our population.
 According to recent data obtained by Alfred W. Devine, headlighting in spector for the Massachusetts Depart ment of Public Works, a more irn- portant factor In night accidents on highways than glaring headlights or other exposed light sources, may be illumination of the roadways them selves.
 From the reports of the depart mental inspectors, 500 motor vehicle fatal and non-fatal accidents were analysed. 400 during 1920 and 400 during 1921. Of these, 552 occurred in daylight. 20 at dusk, and 25s at night. Of the 25s night accidents. 20.2 per cent. were due to lighting conditions, nearly two-thirds because of insufficient illumination. Slightly less than 5.s per cent. were due to glare. and ca per cent because there were no lights on other vehicles

AIR CODE WOULD
 BAN LOW FLYING

Washington, Aug. '. - Low flying over crowds or trick flying over any populous area will be prohibited in all parts Of the United States by an aero nautic code of safety being drafted by experts of the Bureau of Stand ards, the National Aeronautic Asso- ciation and the Society of Automotive Engineers
 Pending passage of the redra1ted Wadsw worth-Hicks bill providing for a Bureau of Commercial Aviation in the Department of Commerce, and which now provides for unified air control. the draft of the safety code is tenta- tive, but it's original provisions will include:
 Inspection of aviators and aircraft in connection with the granting Of licenses to pilots and air transporta- ton companies, prohibition of danger ous proximity of aircraft in flight; rules governing personnel and equip ment of airdromes, including medi- cal and signal equipment, aircraft radio regulation rules for landing fields; lighthouses for night flying, and landing.
 The Wadsworth-H Hicks bill in prac- tically its original form passed the Foreign and Interstate Commerce Committee of the House to include unified control of civil. army and navy aviation. Its passage by the House is
 
 acceptance by the Senate of it's re- drafted form. Its approval by the President is also expected as he has repeatedly declared in favor of the legislation embodied in the bill. In this connection the coming con- vention of the National Aeronautic Association is of interest. when unified and expanded air power for the Fed eral government will be the primary object. The meeting will have in mind largely the development of civil aviation throughout the country, and will have the practical cooperation of army and navy authorities. Among the leaders expected to att tend the convention are: Howard B. Coffin, former chairman of the Air. craft Production Board: Benedict Crowell. former Secretary of War; General Mason M. Patrick. chief of the Army Air Service. and Rear Ad- mira1 w. F. Fuller, former Superin- tendent of the Naval Academy, and commander of the Pacific fleet during the war.
 Delegates will fly to the October convention from all parts of the coun- try. Speed and efficiency contests, national and international in charac- ter, will be among the events.

 "Who were you waiting for?~ inquired Judge Heston when Willie appeared before him charged with larceny of $2.
