AUTOS KILL ONE
EVERY SO MINUTES
STATISTICS SHOW AMERICAN
LIVES ARE PAYING FOR Ma
TIONAL JOY RIDE.

America has become nation on
wheels, but she is paying for the ma
tional joy ride in things that count
more than money.
Every time a clock hand tolls off
fifty minutes some person is killed in
a motor car accident. With the same
monotonous regularity every other
stroke of the second hand marks a
fresh bandage or a hospital bed for a
victim more fortunate only in that
death is not spelled for him, says the
Star.
These figures are derived from
sources allied with the motor car in
dustry, among them the National Au-
tomobile Chamber OF Commerce,
which, though admitting the fatalities,
points to the staggering number OF
motor vehicles in the country and the
part they are playing in the develop
ment of the life Of the nation.
For the first time in twenty-five
years since the queer contraption-
the horseless buggy-made its way
down a lane of awe-struck people the
entire nation might literally be lifted
from the ground and ridden along the
highways that stretch between cities.

PRESIDENT WINBURN COMMENTS ON
EDITORIAL IN THE DAWSON NEWS

eral states have "Stop Look and Lis
ten" laws, requiring drivers OF vehi-
Giles to come to a complete stop at
each grade crossing. North Carolina
was the last state to adopt such a law
and the railways operating in that ter
ritory declare that the law has been
productive of good results and has
lessened the number of accidents. A
similar statute has been approved by
one branch of the Georgia general as
semb1y and this syear lacked but
few votes of passage by the other
branch. The measure is fathered by
the train service employees OF the state,
who are alarmed and distressed at the
increasing number of grade crossing
fatalities. Would not the vast MAORI
ty of people be inclined to observe a
measure designed for their protection
one which affords the only imme-
date and feasible solution of ire
mendous problem? Such regulations
as one-way streets, non-parking areas,
right rules, etc, are cheerfully
observed, particularly after the public
has become accustomed to them.
AS you suggest, the ultimate rene
dy is the separation Of grades, but
this would take years to accomplish
and would probably cost as much as
all the railways in the United States
have cost to construct. This estimate
of cost is not my own, but that of
the National Convention of PUBLIC
Utilities Commissioners of the 48
states, in their 1920 session at Wash
ington. Neither the railways nor the
tax-burdened public is financially able
to achieve this undertaking within the
span of few years.
I trust you will continue to give the
public the benefit of your thought and
study of this topic and l am hopeful
that you and your readers will give
sympathetic support to reasonable
regulations for the improvement OF
most distressing situation. Very truly
yours, w. A. WINBURN, Pres.

tenance of the population. There are
only two wells on the island, and most
OF the water used is collected in els
terms from the winter rains. There is
no rainfall in summer so irrigation
has to be painstaking and persistent,
The monks own and till most of the
southern portion of the island, and the
secular population the northern half.
1t was surprising and rather thrill
ing to hear from the monks, through
the interpreter who had attached him
self to us, that "Patmos gets its life
from America" Many of the hardy
inhabitants have emigrated, especially
to the southwestern states, and it is
their remittances that provide the
economic stability of the poverty
stricken island. The people are of an
unusually high class, Industrious, sim
pie and reverent, and they succeed in
America. Most of them return to Pat
mos for their wives and there were
two such weddings on the Sunday
preceding our arrival We met several
returned immigrants, and one Ameri-
can school teacher bride of a Patmos
man, who had brought his wife on
the long journey to see the old home.
Our interpreter, Arthur, whose
Americanisms gave a spicy favor to
Interpretation OF conferences with the
ecclesiastics, had kept restaurant in
Houston, Texas, and had come to Pat
mos to marry and settle down on his
savings. But he had converted his
money into drachmas, which had sub
sequently so slumped in value that he
is now penniless, and about to return
to the states.

Never before, though, in the his
tory of the country have so many cas-
ualties from motor vehicles been re-
ported. Some of them are due to the
wild-eyed Joy riders, who end in ditch
es and against the banks OF paved
highways. Others are the stories of
attempted dashes over grade cross
ings. Others are attributable to "one-
armed" driving. In recent case a
bee that sunk its singer above the
eve of a man caused him to release
the wheel The car crashed into tele-
phone pole and carried two persons
to death.
Despite the efforts at prevention,
such as safety bureaus and safety
drives, the list of dead and injured
mounts steadily Last year $4,000 per-
sons were lowered into graves after
motor car crashes. This year the fig
ure will not be less than $4,000 and
probably it will be more. In 1914 the
toll was 4,231. Last year, insurance
estimates had it. the injured reached
100000. This year, with the growing
number of accidents, the injured will
total 100000
Figures to July 3Oth show there
are approximately 13,254,0O0 motor
cars and trucks in the country. In
1922 there were lis cars to every L.
600 persons. while this year 100 out
of every 1000 own cars. Out of every
five farmers in America (and there are
approximately 6,500,000 two have
cars
