TRINITY COLLEGE
 PROFESSORS TALK
Give Interesting Dialogue Over
 Radio

Hartford. Dec, 14 - Americans could learn much from q study Of Hindu and Chinese thought but even then they would have no real understanding of those ancient east- e1n civilizations, Professor Harry Todd Costello, head Of the philoSo- phy department at Trinity college, said in a radio dialogue over sta ton WTIC here last night with Pro- lessor LcRoy Carr Barret.
 The two professors were discuss ing Thinkers of the East and West" and agreed that Americans might learn 8 little more about the true value of things" if they studied what tn" Greek and Jew and Him du and Chinese had to teach" But. they said "even at that. Americans are not so empty headed as some of the foreign critics try to mak,, out, nor are the foreigners quite so superior"
 Americans feel that eastern ideas are queer perverse, absurd, suit able perhaps for Chinese and Him aus, who do not know any better" simply because they don't undcr- stand, and don't care to understand. the other fellows viewpoint. and in that respect they are uneducatcd, Mir.

London Finance Shows
 Interest in Gold Cargo

London, Dec. 14 LP) - The an nouncement of the shipment Of $7.500,00O In gold from New York aboard the Berengaria attracted much attention in financial circles here. There was speculation as 10 the ultimate destination of the shipment and doubt was expressed in some quarters as to whether the gold would remain in London.
 The tinanical editor of the Daily Mail wrote that the shipment seem ed to indicate that the flow of gold from New York to London had be- gun in earnest. He said shipments totalling some ten millions sterling were mentioned as possible in Lon don.
 The money market writer of the Mail attributes the flow to the high value of the pound in terms of dor lars. to which 1he maintenance Of discount rates about four per cent

 'Thousands Of years, as well as hundreds of millions of people, went into the making Of Zoroa strianism or Islam BrahmaTism or Buddhism" the professor said, Out We are prone to telescope all this into one simple movement. What we call the cs- sence of a civilization is just that which We choose to distil out. and

 One Of the things which Profes- sor Costello thought Americans might learn from the east is "a lit tie less hurry in going somewhere, and little more Crock or Hindu or Chinese inquiry into the prior question whether We shall be any better off when we get there He ill Ilustrdted tn" remoteness or view point between two civilizations by quoting au anecdote from Warner Eite's Moral Philosophy" or an argument between an orthodox Christian woman and Hindu man.

MORE AUTO DEATHS
Increase Reported in Number of Motor Fatalities in Proportion to Population in America.

Washington, Dec. 14 LP--Deaths rom automobile accidents in the United States are increasing both in total number and in proportion ,o population with each year. The commerce department in announc- ing results of a study of the sub feet, fixed the total number of nu- tomobile accident deaths in 1926 in the United States at 1S.S71 persons.
 This gave an indicated death rate of 17.9 persons per year per 1oo.- o0o of population. In 1925. the similar rate was IT, in 1924 it was 15.7, while in 1923 it was but 14.a and in 1922 but 12.5.
 Further the report said, the to- tar of deaths met in collisions be- tween autom obiles and railroad trains or street cars was excluded from it's findings. If such deaths han been included in the list of fatali- ties assigned 10 automobile opera ton in 1926, the grand total would have been 20,S91 deaths, and the automobile death rate would have been increased to 19.o per 10000 Of population.
