U. s. Movie Star Figures in
 Modern Lawsuit

London. April ] 30 LPl-Women film stars mpst be handled with kid gloves. Whether Hollywood agrees with this or not. it was the line of diplomacy enunciated by G. E. Samuelson. British film producer from the witness stand today in the suit brought against him by Betty Blythe.
 Miss Blythe is suing the producer for f2,000 salary and expenses which sine asserts are due her in connection with the film production in Berlin last year of Sir Rider Haggard's She" Mir. Samuelson in a coun- ter claim asks the same amount for alleged breach of contract, libel and islander, all of which Betty denies.
 It was while explaining to the court why he hadn't taken a firmer attitude with Miss Blythe during their arguments in Berlin that Mir. Samuelson made his remark about kid gloves.
 Much of the testimony revolved ubout bCltS SON los MT. CdIlluSl- son claims sho held up the picture by demanding changes in dresses. Miss Blythe had previously told tho court she couldn't play the part of goddess in the Cumbersome Ger man gowns"
 MT. Samuelson said that the star wanted one gown split into panels, the effect of which would be to re- veal her ankles. Another she want cd altered by taking a big v-shaped piece out of one side and removing the shoulder straps.
 Betty and Her Dresses and similar headlines have been running in the press since the start of the trial, and the star provided her daily sensation in gowns when she enter cd the court room this morning.
 A posy of camelias pinned on the left shoulder gave the only note of color to natty dark blue serge model. trimmed with satin and with n small hat to match. She gracefully manipulated a walking stick.
 The suit was settled today.

BLAME AUTOS FOR
 9 P.C. FATALITIES
Cause More Deaths Than Ty'
 phoid and Diphtheria

Hartford, April 3O--1t has been determined that 3o.6 per cent of all accidental deaths which oc- cured in Connecticut last year were caused by motor vehicles, whereas the ratio for the United
 States as a whole was 20.5 per cent. Fifteen years ago, motor ve-
 hicle deaths in Connecticut were only 3.4 per cent of all accidental deaths ill the state and ratio for the country was 2,2 per cent. The ratio for Connecticut and the Init"d States was the same in 1911 but the proportion of motor vehicle deaths has increased in the country at large in every suc- ccoding year. During 1925, 354 reo-
 pie met death as result of motor vehicles in Connecticut and about
 22,O0O as a result of motor vehicle accidents throughout the country.
 The years of 1918 and 1919 saw . the sharpest increase In the Con- p nccliCut percentage of motor vehicle
 deaths
 Worse Than Typhoid and niphheri8
 The annual motor vehicle death rate has greatly surpassed the { diphthcria and typhoid death rates
 in Connecticut. Last year typhoid fever caused 2.5 deaths per 1oO.-
 GOO population in this state while
 diphthcria caused eight deaths and
 motor vehicles 23.
 Charts prepared by Sheffield Scientific school for the state motor sVchiclc department show a practice Aaly steady increase in the motor ve- . iiClc death rate in the past fifteen years. while the general tendency of both the typhoid fever and dinh- theria death rates has been down. ward. In 1915, motor vehicles and typhoid appeared to be equally deadly in this state, being respon- sibo for twelve deaths per 100000 population. At that time diphtheria was still taking moro lives than motor vehicles, but the following year the motor vehicle. as a death- dealing instrument. overlook diph- thcria and, with slight fluctuations. ran practically parallel to diphtheria in that respect until 1920, when the diphtheria rate fell sharply to an unprecedented level and the motor vehicle rate advanced gradually for each year, except 1922.
 The authorities are attempting to educate the people of the state to combat the motor vehicle menace as they have with considerable success combatted the typhoid and diph- theria menaces.
