Fatally Every 25 Minutes Results
 From Motor Accidents
 Motor car destroys as many human lives each year as fire.
 Fifteen thousand lives are lost each year as the direct result of fire.
 Over fifteen thousand deaths in 1928 will be caused by motor cars, assuming that the motor car fatalities | in the present year maintain the in creasing ratio of preceding years.
 Fourteen thousand lives were lost in motor car accidents in the United States in 1922, which represented an increase Of 1,6oo over the total for 1921 If a further increase of 1,60o is added to the total mortality of 1922, it is obvious that the aggregate death will approximate 15,0o0.
 Assuming an average operating basis of Is hours a day, the motor car kills one person every 25 minutes.
 Fires destroy human life at prac- 1 tically the same rate.
 Accordingly, two lives are destroyed by accidents, mostly preventable, ev- cry half hour.
 Fire is an element which has men aced human life from the creation of man. Every being is surrounded by it's potential danger. Despite the fact that many fires are of preventable origin and spread, certain phases of natural fires cannot be entirely con trolled Earthquakes, volcanic dis turbances. spontaneous combustion, lightning, gaseous formations-all constitute invisible and irresistible forces against which the hand of man is impotent.
 In contrast with the incalculable age of the fire hazard, the motor car menace is as an infants first breath vet within generation the motor car has equaled and possibly passed, fire as a life destroying force | A further analysis would unques- tionable disclose that the actual number of motor car accidents, fn- volying fatalities, was much greater than the number of fires causing l death. An explosion in a factory, or fire in a crowded building, may | destroy a score or hundred human | lives. Motor car catastrophes would probably cause an average death loss | of not more than two lives. Further kmore, the victim in fire tragedies may be remotely distant from the origin i and toally innocent of any contriDu- tory negligence; whereas, motor car collision is confined to car occupants or pedestrians, and the question or blame may be debatable.
 It Is manifest that the motor car has not been properly rated nor reg ulated as a human menace. Buildings, machinery, boilers, electrical con l struction undergo frequent inspection, | and even the moral hazard of the owner of the building is thoroughly considered by ins1ring companies.
 A motor car, once licensed, with varying degrees of laxity, ceases to be subject to state or municipal su- pervision.
 A building is fixed in it's founda- tions and can only menace it's neigh | borhood.
 A motor car is a rover with an l Iundeterminable hazard with the spector of death seated on it's engine head-Insurance Press.

WAS WILLY AUCTIONEER
LOndOncr Who FIOurished In 1S4O Proved It Selling Opera HOuAc

Proved It Selling Opera House
 The greatest figure London has ever known in connection with the city's picturesque old auction rooms was George Robins. This sprightiy auctioneer of genius used to make the old city auction mart near the Bank of England ring with the laugh ter aroused by his sallies, and the cheers he caused by his mastery of subtle craft. His announcements were not merely flourishes of rhet- oric, but exquisite pieces of diplo- macy. Thus, when he put up the Olympic theatre for sale in 1S40, he published one of his usual flamboyant notices, which were faint and formal prefiguraticns for the bombast and palaver he reeled off in the rostrum, but he also made 1t vehicle for cer- tain implications which no man dared express in full. Thus he made it ap- pear that the lessee. the notorious Madame Vestris, could not possibly succeed in any other theatre and was therefore virtually life tenant. though her lease was only for three years; and that when those three years were up, the new owner could be certain of profitable tenant and squeeze" her for what rent he liked It may have been ungallant, and all that, but Robins was business nan first and artist afterward and he worked up the bidding to unexpected heights by masterly ruse. At 5000 pounds it stuck, and the auctioneer had brought his hammer down for the second time when the exultant buyer cried from the crowd. "The theater's mine.''
 This was the kind of moment that made Robins fame. He poised the hammer in n.id-air, and, looking round with a bland smile that would have disarmed an ogre, remarked in oily tones: T don't wonder, my friend, that your anxiety to possess the property at such price should anticipate my decision; but (here he looked around the company with q fitting and Olympian serenity) it is skll in the market, gentlemen. You Nave still an opportunity of making your fortunes without risk or trou- ble." Up went the bidding again, brisker than ever, and when the hammer fell for the third and last time, the Olympic brought 5,S50 pounds, which was an enormous figure for a house of entertainment in those poky, stuffy. candle-lighted days of pipes and sawdust and DOT ter.-J. r. Collins in London letter to the Boston Transcript.
