the death Of 1880 in this country last year
cidents increased per cent over 1920. For "busi-
ness reasons, as the bureau frankly states mem
bers have subscribed substantial sum of money
to institute an accident prevention movement.
For the first time the companies issuing auto
mobile insurance will undertake a campaign of this
kind For many years the fire and life insurance
companies and those issuing policies against indus
trial accidents have been engaged in preventive
work. The automobile insurance companies feel
that it is time to- follow their example.a The bureau
will seek to promote better control of traffic condi-
tons, development of safety education in public
school and among drivers and the stimulation of
an intelligent and effective treatment Of the prob
lem by local communities"
The national safety council recently announced
that 30 of the largest cities had reduced motor
hicle accidents in 1921 compared with 1920. This
statement is inconsistent with that of the nsur
ance companies. In these cities special local ef-
forts were made to prevent accidents. st. Louis de-
creased motor fatalities by five, despite increase
of 16 600 in the number of cars in use. In 1921,
notwithstanding increased population and greatly
increased vehicular traffic. $50 fewer persons were
killed than in 1917. Detroit decreased fatalities
from all traffic accidents from $40 in 1920 to 1874
in 1921 Buffalos motor fatality record in 1921
was IT. compared with II the preceding year.
The death toll from motor accidents can and
must be reduced Organized community efforts and
co operation between authorities and the general
public will gain the victory.

If there were no other apparent

HOLY SHRINES
CREDITED WITH
HEALING POWER
BY FREDERIC j. HAsKIN.

Washington, D. c.. July 15.-
Although these be days of mar
velous medical therapeutics, the
holy shrine still holds its own as
healing agency. Indeed, the be-
lief In its miraculous power, like
the belief in other supernatural
phenomena, is evidently greatly on
the increase. New shrines are
springing UP all over the world,
and old ones are attra citing great
er numbers Of patients than ever
before.
The annual pilgrimage of the
afflicted to Lourdes this year, for
instance, has been exceptionally
large. Patients, many of whom
are carried on ktretchers or rolled
in wheel chairs, have been taken
to the little French town from
points as far distant as Belfast and
Belgrade. In the past, most of the
pilgrims were practically without
hope Of relief through medical as
sistance, but this year large num-
bers suffering only minor ailments
are seeking the shrine, inspired by
the new theory of auto-suggestion
and other faith cures.
Lourdes, which contains the
most famous of the worlds heal
ing shrines, is situated in a charm
ing valley at the entrance of that
huge chain Of mountains separat-
ing France from Spain, known as
the Pyrenees. Until 1858 it was a
quiet, self-effacing little town, Wis
tied only by sagacious tourists
searching for unusual rustic seem
cry and quaint. architecture, but in
this year 1t suddenly acquired wide
spread fame. owing to the alleged
miraculous experience of IA
year-old shepherdess.
1t Is recorded that one day while
this young lady, whose name was
Bernadette Soubirous, was out
gathering firewood with her young
er sister near the now famous Mas
ISABELLE rock she was, suddenly
confronted by vision. It appear
ed in the form of a beautiful young
woman, dressed all in white with
the exception of blue sash around
the waist. The entire figure was
surrounded by a bright halo of
light, at the sight of which Ber-
nadette fell down upon her knees
and remained In state of ecstacy
until the vision faded.
Like Joan OF Arc.
When the girl returned home
and recounted her experience, her
family received the story coldly
and decided to have her treated
for Authorizations. But as Ber-
nadette continued to see visions
with great persistency, in one of
which appeared figure claiming
to be the Virgin Mary, the VII
layers began to place some cred
ence in her story. The thing had
happened to Jeanne dare, who
was also a simple peasant girl
why not to Bernadette? Thus the
tale spread rapidly from town to
town until the whole OF Europe
was interested and people began
to arrive by the thousands to see
the sacred spot where the visions
had invariably appeared to the
shepherdess.
\ Then, suddenly. the report went
forth that miraculous cures were
taking place in Lourdes, near the
spring in the grotto visited by the
vision. A blind boy had regained
HIS eyesight; another who had
been deaf could now hear plainly,
and an old woman lparalytic was
able to walk, after having been a
helpless #nvalid for five years. At
last small statue of the Virgin
Mary was placed in the grotto,
which slgnified the churchs Off

PINCHED AGAIN.

The saddest words of tongue or
pen are these, 1--WE Just been
pinched again." In these fierce
days when every man must have
some sort of bus or van, when
traffic laws are, multiplied until
we bust some open wide, no matter
how we strive and strain to line
up with the safe and sane, we hear
the best and noblest men complain
ing, We've been pinched again!"
The reckless drivers get away, to
hog the road some other day: the
speed fiends leave trail OF smoke
and think the traffic law a Joke:
but fat old bards who cut a wart
are handed justice by the quart:

In the curved sadness of your lips. q see

Happy faces laughter that knew way
To spin senses to oblivion.) :: All
Your words are swift upon your lips ana grey
As swallows yet stay to listen, yet

For in a little while you may forget
Your sadness oh no matter what l DO
Your may forget your sadness-Oh my GEAR
And even smile and make the mystery ciear!
