Survey Extensive.

The survey shows that the major
causes of traffic accidents are: Con
fusion in the movement of vehicula1
and pedestrian traffic; unfamiliarity
of drivers and pedestrians with the
requirements for safety in the use OF
the streets, and a measure of care
l~essness about the safety Of ones self
and others. Both of the latter two
causes are also conducive to the first.
Traffic safety is, evidently, not q
problem of the individual alone. 1t
is, rather, one of properly ~co-ordinat-
ed and synchronizd action among all
classes involved in it. This has a d.
rect bearing upon the remedies to be
applied, as discussed later.
The causes CT accidents that occur
in recreation and entertainment may
be classified as: Lack Of proper regu-
lation and direction, unsafe and in
sufficient equipment, unfamiliarity
with the requirements for safety, and
c~arelessness on the part of the victims
or other participants. With the ex-
ception of the last three causes, they
are largely of a community nature
rather than individuals. This is par
ticularly true insofar as the commu-
nifty or some organization in it at
tempts to furnish activities for re-
creation and entertainment.
Other public accident causes are in
sufficient safeguards and unsafe con-
ditions in public places, mob action
and s~tampedes, and personal careless
ness. In all except the last of these
the victim may be only in small part
responsible for his accident.
That distribution of fatal accidents
bears a distinct relation to the dens-
ity of population and to the classes
of persons who live in the territory
%traversed by main thoroughfares o1
vehicular traffic, is shown in the re.
port covering the surveys. The Ma.
tional Safety council is now endeavor

and that several different principles
are being tried cut.
IN discussing the subject tie said;
"The public has really become dis
satisfied with the present type Of
motor. They are demanding greater
efficiency and economy from their.
automobiles and the manufacturers
have about reached the limit Of per-
lection with the present type Of :n-
ternal combustion engine. There
really has not been much improve
ment in motor design since DR.. N. A.
Otto patented the first practical gaso-
line engine in 1876. There have been
refinements Of course, but the basic
principle has remained the same.
What is now demanded is a motor
that runs quieter and with less cost.
Engineers all over the world are
seeking a principle which will solve
this problem.

Present Type Of Motor : Be
ieved to Be Fully

Considerable interest is being
shown in autOmOtive circles regard
ing the development Of improved de-
sign in automobile engines. The
public has been demanding more eff
cient and more economical motors for
some time and the engineers Of the
world have been experimenting with
several new types. B6thin this cOun-
try and abroad experiments are being
made with air-cooled motors and also
the double and single valve types.
New ideas are being developed for

REGARDING PROPOSED ANNEXATION TO THE
 TOWN OF WRANGELL

The annexation of the property along the Standard Oil road to the municipality Of Wrangell was dis cussed at the regular meeting of the City Council this week. The pro- cedure to be followed was outlined and a rough estimate was submitted. l.
 It is necessary for a petition re- Questing annexation and signed by a majority of owners of substantial property interests in lands or tide land within the area proposed to be annexed" to be presented to the Judge of the U. S. District Court. He then sets a date on which par ties who desire to object to the an nexation may be heard, and in the event of no sufficient objection ap- bearing, he sets date not less than 30 days ahead on which an election shall be held.
 The qualifications for voters is ownership of property either in the present municipality or in the area to be annexed. Citizenship is not necessary. There must be polling places in both the present munich pality and the new area.
 In order that annexation may take place, a majority of the votes cast in the present municipality must be favorable and a two-thirds vote in the new area must be favor able.
 The City Council canvasses the votes and certifies the result to the District Court.
 If the vote is favorable the Court then issues it's order annexing the new area to the municipality.
