Jewett's wheat relief plan is-in
brief-to the following effect:
There shall be organized a public
Federal wheat export corporation
which shall buy wheat in the United
States at price to be fixed by CIV
ing to wheat the same relative adj
vance in value that has been reached
corporation shall sell wheat abroad
at the world price.
The losses which it thus sustains it
will recoup by levying an excise tax
on each bushel of wheat sold by
farmers in the United States. The
corporation thus will be self-sustai-1-
ing and will not represent any cost
to the Federal Treasury. The adj
vance price of wheat will fall upon
the general public; but, according to
Jewett, this price will in his proposed
legislation be fixed at a level no
higher than the average level of adj
vance now shown by commodities in
general.
Meets Wide Objections.
Great opposition to Jewett's plan
was at once apparent, especially in
view of the fact that 1t IS a plan
quite considerably out of harmony
with the spirit of the report made
to President Coolidge by Meyer and
Mondell of the United States War
Finance Corporation after their re-
turn from the mission of inquiry
which they accomplished for Pres
ident Coolidge in the Northwestern
States.
Senator McNary, after an inter-
view with Jewett, made the follow
ing statement:
II have not decided just what to
do regarding this proposed legisla-
ton but I regard it as most desir-
able and even necessary that in the
East there should be an understand

man are fixed in large degree In a
sort of monopolistic market. He
seems to himself to be living IN an
environment composed of monopoltes
and guarantees and tariffs which
protect the prices of those from
whom he buys. He then is told that
the price of his wheat is fixed in
Liverpool and that he can do nothing
to make 1t go up. He then, naturally,
looks about to find some way In
which for his product he can get the
protection which he thinks almost all
other products have. This bill is an
effort in that direction"

Deaths Attributed to Railroads.
Although Motorist Is Usually
at Fault.
What do you think ought to
be done about this growing
menace to life2

New York.-Fourteen thousand lives
were lost in automobile accidents In
the United States In 1922--an increase
of 1000 over the total for 1921. The
1922 death rate was 1913 per thousand
population, as compared with 11.5 for
the preceding year.
This estimate for 1922 was made for

basis of statistics supplied by the
health officers of 60 American cities
with an aggregate population Of 1S-
177.31O. The cities included N the
study range in size from 25,OOO popu-
lation upward and are scattered ever
the entire country. 1t is reasonable
to suppose, therefore, that the indica-
tions for these cities are fairly repre-
sentative of the whole nation.
The 1922 automobile death rate for
these cities was IL per cent higher

wide death rate of 129. This death
rate multiplied into the population Of
the United States as of July 1, 1922,
estimated at 109,24S,402 by the bureau
of the census, produces total of
$4,000 deaths. g
Some Comfort In Report.
The experience of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company confirms the
estimate. The estimated death rate
for the United States for 1922 based
upon the increase of 1922 over 1921 In
the Metropolitan's Industrial depart
ment Is 1877. This rate multiplied in
to the mid-year population produces
$4,000 deaths. at
Although the automobile death rate
based on population has steadily in
creased, the death rate based on the
number. Of automobiles registered has
decreased considerably. The number
of automobiles In use has Increased
five-fold since 1915, but the number Of
automobile fatalities has little more
than doubled. The education Of mo-
torist and pedestrian alike, the more
stringent regulation of traffic, and the
institution of safety campaigns
throughout the country have all helped
to pull down the ratio of automobile
fatalities to automobiles IN use. De-
spite this comforting assurance, the
fact remains that automobile fatalities
are increasing in actual number at tho
rate Of 1000 year. m
The automobile was responsible In
1922 for 81 per cent Of all deaths
caused by vehicles, more than four
times the number caused by railroad
trains and seven times the deaths due
to street railways. The horse, as a
producer Of serious accidents. virtually
has faded out Of the picture.
Grade Crossing Deaths.
The foregoing .otals do not include
all the deaths for which the autofno-
bile may be held accountable. Ac-
cording to the accident classification
throughout the country, deaths caused
by collisions between automobiles
and heavier vehicles (such as raiispad
trains). are assigned to the heavier
vehicles. In the popular opinion.
however. the automobile is charged
with most grade crossing accidents.
Failure on the part of many motor
lists to observe ordinary precautions
mt railroad crossings has resulted in
tremendous loss Of life year after
year. The Interstate Commerce com
missions bulletins show the following

These club programs include cloth
ing, food, poultry, gardening, home
management, and household decora-
tion. Under food the clubs include
the study of the family diet, the hot
school lunch, a yearly food budget,
meal preparation and planning, etc.
Clothing work embraces the making
OF the paper dress form, the use and
modification of patterns, the drafting
of patterns, infants and children's
clothing, %remodeling, trimmings and
accessories, house dresses and aprons,
household methods Of cleaning and

ranches that way, which need the

REALLY NOT IN ANY HURRY
Not Hard to Believe Naive Statement
Made by Men Condemned to

Augustus Thomas has a story to re-
late of his early days which illustrates
the very telling effect to be achieved
by just a few words, the New York
Herald says. Thomas was then an

ahead of a famous mind reader of a
generation ago, and generally working
1t for all it was worth. In Minnesota
he managed to land his thought d.

good secondary story, Thomas decided
to work up further interest in a delay
of execution-and incidentally in his
mind reader-by visiting the jail and
having the two prisoners sign an inn
