Mars Again.

While the candidates for President
are coming down the homestretch we
still have time to talk about Mars.
There are men in the United States,
and perhaps in other parts of the
world, who insist on communication
between Mars and Earth. In a tele-
gram to The Star 1t was said that
though we did not talk with Mars
when he nearly visited us last August
we are going to some day. The Aerial
League of America has been "check-
Ing up" on mysterious sounds last
August, and it is said that 1t was Mar.
tan static (which kept millions of
usual on their sets on that memorable
August "a" 1t is also said that 'It
is more likely that there are people
on the sister planet than the most
sanguine theorists had really hoped"
and that mot only is Mars not as cold
as it has been reported to be, but quite
possibly 1t is warm enough to sustain
human life
Some Of the claims are made by
Prof. Todd, the astronomer. who was
foremost last August in the plan to
keep the air quiet that listeners-in
might catch a message from Mars.
He says that auroral flashes were
seen on Mars when 1t was next door
to Earth and that the flashes syn
chronized with static disturbance Of
our radio sets.
II would be interesting to learn
that Mars has a more agreeable eli.
mate than most Of our astronomers
have given it. and our people would
be glad to know that they have neigh
bors on Mars. We may find the solu-
ton Of the Mars problem in time
Some Of our smartest investigators
have the Job in hand, and one may be
pardoned for believing that the Mar
tians cannot much longer elude us.

Automobile Tragedies.

The Census Bureau has issued sta
tistics Of automobile casualties dur
ing 1928, showing 14,412 deaths from
motor accidents. In the District Of
Columbia were s6 deaths from motor
vehicles, excluding motor cycles,
which represented death rate Of 1871
per 100000 population. This automo.
bile accident death rate was below
that Of SO Of 6S cities included in the
Census Bureau figures. It was con.
siderably higher than in a number
of States.
There is nothing necessarily sig
nificant in the accident figures for
Washington as compared with States.
All the District is city territory and
1t is believed that a larger per-
centage Of District inhabitants own
automobiles than inhabitants OF any
State. .n addition to home-owned
cars probably more foreign cars, or
ars from States, are moving in the
streets Of Washington than in the
streets Of any other CITY,. There are
probably more cars in operation in
Washington in proportion to popu-
lation than in any State. or any other
city. Yet there are States which have
a greater automobile mortality than
the City OF Washington.
In the summary Of States California
heads the list with a rate Of 32.6
deaths Per 100000 population. and
is second with q rate Of
Evening star., 1924-10-23

24.1. In the list Of cities. Camden,
N. j., leads with a rate Of 35.4, and
Scranton, Pa, Is second with 29.2.
Washington is far down the list with
death rate of 1871 per 100000 pop
ulation. The lowest death rate from
automobiles among the States Is that
of Mississippi, whose rate is given as
A per 100000. 1t would probably be
found that the number Of automobiles
per 10O, 1000 population is also lowest
there. A nunber Of cities smaller
in population than Washington and,
it is believed, with a smaller ratio Of
automobiles to population, have a
higher death rate from automobile
accidents.
The death rate from automobile ac-
cidents in Washington is higher than
it should be, and many plans have
been tried and are being tried to make
the streets safer. The people of this
town will not let up in their cam
paign for safety until the movement
OF vehicles and pedestrians in the
is effectively regulated and the
ratio Of traffic accidents to population
is brought down to the lowest possible
figure.

NAL play, and the others unthinkingiy
follow. In this case, probably one Of
the children thought it would be
smart and amusing to make the baby
cry by pelting it with gravel and sand.
BY an almost persuasive force the
idea spread, and Immediately many
hands were at work.
OF course, such little folks cannot
be punished by the law for a crime
Of which they We're hardly cognizant.
But their identities should be dis
closed and the shocking nature of
their deed brought home to them in
some way. There Is altogether too
much pernicious precocity at present
ON the part of very young people. and
this Atlantic City case is a revolving
illustration that should not pass with
tears for the dead infant.

The Prediction "Ifs."

These are the days when the po-
litically minded citizens, who take a
keen interest In the presidential cleo
ton, are studying the tables Of States
and electoral votes with concentrated
attention. They conpare the records
of past performances and try to divide
the States into groups according to
probabilities. There Is, for example,
the solid South" presumably and
almost certainly Democratic, with
electoral votes for Davis. There is.
again, New England, with presumable
preference for Coolidge. There are
other States that are in habit
either Republican or Democratic.
such as Pennsylvania on the former
side and Maryland on the latter,
though Maryland is not quite SO
habitually Democratic as Pennsyl-
vania is Republican. Then there is
the new battle-ground, the North
west, with its uncertainties due to a
third-party candidacy. And there is
the Middle-West, with its potentiali-
ties for upsetting the apple cart, as
did Ohio in 1916. It is an interesting
game.
Figuring on electoral votes Is not
so easy as 1t might appear, especially
in a third-party year. "If'' plays an
important part in the case. 'If' GER
tain classes Of votes are cast one
way particular States may" go that
way. Straw votes and polls are
watched with keen interest to give
some indication Of how the "ifs" are
leaning. The betting is noted as well,
for 1t Is realized that those who make
bets are mainly those who seek to
win money and do not risk their
cash save upon carefully calculated
reckoning Of the chances.
To reach 266 votes, which is the
electoral essential, one Of the three
candidates must carry the assured
group Of additionally Republican or
Democratic States and most Of the
doubtful or debatable States. Thus,
for instance, Mr.. Coolidge must carry
New England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Kan
sas and California, or their equiva-
lents, which would give him 268 votes,
or two more than enough. He must
carry other States to make good de-
ficiencies If Maryland and Iowa, for
example, were lost by him. Thus, with
those two States lost, he could still
be elected by carrying Nebraska, Ore
gon, Idaho and Utah, giving just the
81 votes OF Maryland and Iowa.
That is a typical combination of
the electoral vote analysis. 1t affords
a working basis for computation.
With such a list in hand the watcher
Of the skies Is just now noting all
the signs on the horizon, the drift of
wind, the shape and size and color of
clouds, and Is making his forecast.
The ardent and optimistic partisan
may see some Of the signs through
a distorting medium and guess wrong
in consequence. His Ifs get twist
ed. If he bets on his misca1culated
confidence he loses his money.

this should be brought about by free
cooperation Of the various interested
agencies"
"A regularly established system by
which every home in the nation might
listen together to one program seems
almost one of those things about which
there ought to be a law" remarks
the New York Herald-Tribune, which
notes that while "the radio confer
ence raised technical questions as to
the practicability of the proposal,
there was a much more devastating
question that it failed to raise" that
is, with such q system in operation
we would be faced with the stupefy-
ing necessity of finding programs
that would be worth telling to an
entire population, and 1t Is at least
conceivable that even the American
reputation for nerve would fail be-
fore the prospect Of giving an after
dinner talk to the United States"
Radio suffers now too much from
standard programs, thinks the Chi
cago Tribune, which goes on to say:
Radio Is nationalfstic-or continent
al. But It's value and its interest will
lie in bringing what is unique and
fine in San Antonio into the ears Of
New York. New York needs it. Its
value Is in developing our native
prOV1nCla1SmS ana enTlCnlnS the en-
tire country with their sweetness.
Radio may be nationalistic, but it

I'm tho mechanical side," the
Springfield Republican declares, "the
greatest improvement needed is a
system by which the average listener
can at any time have his pick of at
least three programs of different
Sorts" for when this can be done
without disturbing interference 1t
should be possible, by such co-ordi-
nation as Mr.. Hoover suggests, to CO.
ordinate the programs In a way to
please everybody"
If we stand on our present policy
of keeping the air open, the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer concludes super
power distributing stations. as they
are created. must be subjected to
proper regulation, for left alone they
would, by virtue OF their size and the

Infant Slayers.

An Atlantic City mother left her
three-month infant in perambulator
on the sidewalk opposite her home for
a few minutes the other day while
she went on an errand. When she
returned she found that some small
children had thrown sand and gravel
upon the baby's face until It was
choked. It died soon after. despite
immediate medical attention. The
grief.stricken mother declares that
she does not want the children prose
.cuted, or even identified, as she is
sure ''they did not know what they
were doing" -
This shocking case comes 30 close
upon the Chicago atrocity Of q few

the chance of possible effect
