MANY a mOtOrst whose car has figured In a fatal accident will be able
AVA to present a clear sheet to Saint Peter when his time comes when one
considers all the contributing factors outside Of the drivers own fault A total
Of1390 auto fatalities on record with the StewaTtWaTner Safety Council for the
prevention Of automobile accidents, covering a period Of seven months,
shows that in 77 cases the fault was clearly the pedestrians and cannot
be put down to the driver, the weather or unavoidable circumstances
The careless pedestrians footsteps lead him to the grave by six distinct
routes, says the Safety Council, and the most tave-wOn Of these is jay
walking SXtytwO per cent Of the 727 auto fatalities just referred to were due
to streaking across busy streets without using the intersections. Ch1drens
playing in the streets was responsible for 81 per cent and cOashng for another
8 per cent. Confusion o. the part Of the pedestrian, not hearing whistles and
turning back in his tracks, brought about 9 per cent Of these 77 Deaths while
physical disability and intOxcaHOn rate 8 and 2 per cent respectively.

IS LOST; Vote
TAKEN SENATE
Inter Mountain Territory
Loses Fight on Long and
Short Haul Measure.

WASHINGTON. March 25.-The
Senate yesterday afternoon, by a
vote Of 46 to 33, rejected the Good
ing rate bill, long and short haul,
and the Inter-Mountain territory
lost 40-year hight to prevent
carriers granting a
lower rate for hauls to the Pacific
Coast then to intermediate points.
The Senate two years ago, by a
vote Of 81 to %, passed a similar
measure, but it failed to pass the
House.
In making one speech in favor
of the Gooding bill, Senator Wheel
er, Democrat, of Montana, declared
that transcontinental railroads are
in a union to maintain the present
practice of Il greater charge for a
short haul than for a long one and
this union prevents those railroads
that want to do so from giving re
lief to the Intern Mountain terri
tory" The Montana Senator also
charged the railroads with main
tanning lobby and that the Cham
bers of Commerce over the country
were engaged in organized propa-
ganda against the Gooding measure.

CUNNERY
RECORDS SET UP
BY NAVY FLIERS
Five Marksmen Score 81
Hits in 81 Shots at 50
Miles an Hour.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, March %
What is believed to be world s
record for aerial gunnery has been
established by the bombing and tor
pedo wing of the Aircraft Squadrons,
Battle Fleet. under Comdr. Warren
Child during the competitive gunnery
year now nearing its close.
Five gunncrs of V. T.-2 Squadron
have scored the remarkable record
of 81 hits in % shots while their
seaplanes were winging their way
through the airplanes at a speed of
better than so miles an hour.
Perfect Scores Made
Several gunners OF the V. il
Squadron, it was reported at North
Island yesterday. also attained per
feet scores in firing machine guns
at sleeve targets from their sea-
planes.
Not content with their amazing
gunnery record, which Commander
Childs believes never has been
equaled in the history of naval avia-
ton the personnel of the two squad
rons staged two gas attacks at sea
against the destroyer Shirk with
virtually perfect results.
Gas Curtain Swaths Destroyer
Officers who witnessed the latest
gas bomb attack on the destroyer by
the aircraft under command Of Com
mander Childs assert that the drop
ping of the bombs, each weighing
approximately so pounds, was SO
perfectly timed that faultless pat
tern Of gas was woven around the
luckless destroyer.
Only the fact that extraordinary
precautions had been taken by the
destroyer men to wear gas masks
and protective clothing, prevented
the warship from being, temporarily
at least, placed out Of commission.
