Secretary Hoover, in an address be-
fore the National Conference on street
and highway safety, asked for the CO.
operation of all interests in an effort
to reduce the now rapidly increasing
number of deaths and injuries due to
traffic accidents. He stated that there
were $4,000 such deaths and 67S,0O0
serious injuries last year and that
nearly so per cent of the highway ac-
cidents were due to the automobile.
Here is suggestion for lessening
accidents In the old days, a road
was rounded up like a railroad grade
with deep bitches on each side. Pro-
badly two teams passed at a pace of
about three or -four miles an hour on
every five-mile stretch. Today our
modern highway grades are largely the
same with a strip of pavement in the
center on which scores of automobiles
pass in a mile travelling at rate of
speed varying from % TO ~ miles an
hour. With good driving, there are
no accidents. NIisjudgment one way
or another, however, and an automobile
crashes with another car or goes in
the ditch.
Instead of digging bitches on each
side Of the road, use the same labor
and extend the grade and the culvert
coverings from the edge of the pave
ment at a gentle slope to the fence
row on each side. In other words,
have the curve of the road more like a
street, This is possible along 90 per
cent of the highways at no additional
expense. Thus is the tendency for
cars to crowd in the center relieved
and consequently the danger of acci-
dents is lessened.
All the rules, regulations and laws
that can he passed will be of little or
no avail so long as any man or woman
can buy an automobile one minute
step into the state licensing depart
ment and get permit to drive the next
minute, regardless of his familiarity
with the ear, its operation or road
rules. No other piece of machinery in
the world is operated on such hap
hazard basis The marvel is that in
stead Of 22,OOO deaths year. there
are not 100000.
Remove the cause and you will re-
move the accidents. Intermediary mea-
sures will be useless. Compulsory
automobile insurance, or worse vet.
monopolistic state automobile accident
insurance, "a suggested remedy, will
simply encourage recklcssness for it
viii tend to remove restraint from an
already careless person.

Inc department OF Agriculture II
vitally interested in the Census of Ag-
riculture for which the enumeration
is now in progress. Every farmer
should also be interested in this work
because this census will result in OBJ
tanning facts that will lead to a proper
understanding of the actual conditions
existing throughout the country.
The census is taken by the Depart
ment Of Commerce in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture. The
schedule of inquiry was approved by
the Department of Agriculture and di-
rected to determine matters of funda-
mental importance to the welfare of
the agricultural industry. This census
is needed as basis for the annual
crop estimates of the Department of
Agriculture, and it is of great import
ance that the results be accurate. The
totals of farm acreage, land utiiiza-
tion, livestock, crops, etc, will show
actual conditions during 1924 and will
be used for the preparation of esti-
mates for each year until the next
census.
The census is being taken primarily
for the benefit of the farmers and all
the information contained on the CEN
sus schedule will be treated as strictly
confidential and will be used for sta
tistical purposes to show the totals
for the different counties and states.
All this information will directly or
indirectly be of benefit to farmers and
to farmers associations and organiza-
tiOHs throughout the country. 1t will
help Congress to legislate wisely in
matters affecting the farmers inter
ests.
1t Is desired, therefore that farmers
give prompt reply to all of the in
quiries on the schedule and in every
way possible facilitate the work of
the enumerator, so that the census may
be taken quickly and that there may
be no delay in tabulating the figures
and publishing the totals.

EDWARDS HEIRS
 SUING CHURCH
Seek Recovery Of Trinity's
 Property in New York

New York, Jan. 26.--Suit to con- pei Trinity church to turn over the bulk of it's property in lower Man hattan to the heirs of Robert Ed wards was begun in federal court to- day by the filing of bill in equity by Arthur J. Edwards, of Guilford, county, North Carolina, and Wesley J. Edwards, of Los Angeles, Califor- mia.
 Real estate involved in the suit includes the church property, an old cemetery at Wall street and Broad- way, and the land extending from this plot westward to the Hudson river Counsel for the heirs estimat- ed the property to be worth consid- erably more than $10,00O00O.
 Trinity, said to be the wealthiest church in the United States would be barred by the heirs from all claim to the property. The bill asks that receiver be appointed and that the church be compelled to render an &C., counting of all rents and profits de- rived from the land since May |, 1866.
 The complaint recites that prior to 1767 and up to the time of his death the property named was own- ed by Robert Edwards, who died in testate. It declares that the plain tiffs are direct collateral descend ants and rightful heirs" to Edwards estate. The complaint further asserts that Trinity church came into possession of the land under a 99 year lease dated May 1, 1767, and that at the expiration of the lease officers of Trinity "continued in possession of such land as tenants at suffrance.' The complanants aver that at no time has there been any conveyance of the title to the said property by any person or persons having the fee or any other right, title or interest therein, to said defendants nor any other persons, firm or corporations. Furthermore, continued the com- plaint, there has not been such pos- session by the defendants as would ripen into title by virtue of any sta- tute."
 The Trinity corporation has been concerned with q number of suits and threatened suits affecting it's vast holdings on lower Manhattan. Most of these actions have been based on the assumption that the corporation held much of it's proper ty under lease, an assumption held to be erroneous by William B. Sprague, one of the corporations counsel.
 On the occasion of recent threatened suit based on grounds similar to those named in the Ed wards section, Mir. Sprague gave out the following statement:
 The original grant of land to Trinity corporation. which included the site of the present church, was made in 1705 by Queen Anne and in cluded about 60 acres in lower New York, west of Broadway. Title 10 that property was contested about a 1 century ago by the heirs of Anneke Jans and was settled after long liti- gation in favor of the church. Aaron Burr appeared for the plaintiffs, , "The corporation has sold most of It's property in the vicinity of Trinity church and title to those
 lands has been guaranteed without exception by the Big Title Guaranty CompanicS"

Nuo OH Acou Nto WustSTOte That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con- gested parts and see how quickly il brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, does the work without blister. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel warm jingle as it enters the pores, then cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.
 To Mothers: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole.
