The duty of the pedestrian to rec
ognize virtually these same facts is
paramount, the A. A. A. believes.
The statement continues:

Seasonal Mishaps Could Be
Reduced to Minimum II
Both Will Recognize Fun
damental Difficulties Con-
nected With Driving and
Walking in Winter.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-
Street users, both motorists and Pc
destrians, have it within their prov
ince to reduce winter traffic mis-
haps to q minimum If they will but
recognize certain fundamental diff
culties in connection with driving
and walking during this season
which is the most prolific in serious
accidents.
This point is made in statement
issued today by the national head
quarters Of the American Automo-
bile association in which are enum-
Grated the considerations everyone
should ponder in the interest Of
safety.
The most significant feature of
winter driving that should appeal to
everyone is that footing for both
motor cars and pedestrians IS most
treacherous and insecure during the
current season, the statement says.
Certain steps can be taken to offset
this condition but their effectiveness
Is limited, and, unless the driver
and walker both realize this, it is
possible to turn their basic safety
into q definite hazard, it is pointed
out.
Both Must Make Concessions
"Both pedestrians and motorists
have concessions to mako to the fact
that snowy, icy streets are treach-
erous," says the statement. 1.-THE
motorists responsibility demands,
first, the addition Of such safety
equipment as chains, and secondly,
the realization that there is such .
thing as outdriving any safety fea-
ture. That many motorists do sac
rifice the advantages given by four
wheel brakes, balloon tires, chains,
and other such safety features is re-
vealed in accident analyses made by
the $50 clubs that make up. the
membership Of the A. A. A.
"This 10 due to the fact that mo-
florists often are lulled into false
sense of security by the very pres
eLce Of these undeniably safe APP
purtenances to modern motoring
Il is not to be questioned that cars
are safer, but the safety inherent in
any car still must be brought out by
highly intelligent driving. The hu-
man factor is large and always will
be large. Driving which brings no
mishap is that which recognizes that

tional value necessitates q longer

FEDERAL AID
HELPS STATES
BUILD ROADS
8,3O6 Miles Added to Highway
System During Fiscal Year,
Statement Says

Washington, d. c., Dec. 27.-Fed.
eral-aid road projects completed
during the fiscal year, June 80, 1926
to 1927, increased the mileage of i'm.
proved roads in the federal.aid high
way system by $500 miles.
Commenting on the mileage COM
pletcd as set forth in the annual re-
port of the bureau of public roads,
officials Of the American Automo-
bile association today expressed
satisfaction over the progress Of the
federal-aid system.
The actual disbursement of fed
cral-aid funds during the year was
$S1,371,013. This is a reduction of
about 100000 below the disburse-
ment Of the preceding year. which,
in turn, was $4,000, 900 less than the
disbursement Of the gear before.
The federal government paid $751;
330,357 or AS per cent Of the
$1S2.770,089 expended on federal-aid
projects during the year.
The years construction brings the
total length Of roads improved with
federal assistance up to Ga, 21O miles,
the A. x. A. points out.
Two-to.One Ratio
As proof of the fact that federal
aid is an incentive to road building
by the states and does not cause
them to lie down on the job, the ma
tional motoring body cites the fact
that nearly two miles are construct
ed by the states for each mile con-
structed with federal cooperation.
Stressing the extent to which the
car owners pay the highway bill of
the nation, which is in excess Of q
billion dollars, the A. "A. A. cites
the following excerpt from the an
nuual report of the bureau:
"The state funds required to match
q federal appropriation of $75,O0O,-
600 a year in the proportions re-
quired by the federal law amount to
So, 090, 500, is raised seven times
over by the motor vehicle taxes. In
fact, the motorists now contribute
almost enough to finance the entire
program of the states, including the
state portion Of the cost Of the fed
eral-aid road. -. :"
The federal-aid program, accord
ing to the national motoring body,
calls for the construction of 1856, 772
miles of road, selected as of primary
Importance by state and federal
highway officials. They are the
most important of the over 5000 900
miles Of highways in the United
States.
Significant of the success of fed
eral assistance, the A. A. A. says,
is the fact that, with the exception
of 7,469 miles, 64,2-0 miles have
been completed in the six years since
1921. Montana and North Dakota,
it is stated, were the only two states
that made no expenditures for high
way purposes other than those built
through federal cooperation, as
road improvement in these states is
carried on under county control.

Winter Rye Acreage
Shows an Increase

North Dakota winter rye acreage
planted this fall for harvest next
season shows a five per cent in
crease over the harvested acreage
Of 1926, according to the December
report of Paul c. Newman, agricul-
tural statistician. Earlier inten-
tions were for q much larger in
crease as indicated by the special re-
port Of August first, but these were
not carried out entirely, due prin-
cipally to dry fall weather condi-
tons. The estimated acreage for
harvest in 1928 is 1,45O, 900 acres
compared to 1881 900 acres harvest
ed in 1927. Present condition is
estimated at Sc per cent of normal
which is below tho condition re-
ported year ago.
For winter wheat no estimate is
made for North Dakota, due to the
relatively small Importance Of the
crop compared to the spring wheat
crop. All indications point to q con-
siderable decrease in acreage plant
ed for harves next year. Fall
weather conditions, on the whole,
were not very favorable to fall seed
ing. The condition of winter wheat
is estimated at about 80 per cent Of
normal.
All farming operations were
brought definitely to halt in the
early part Of November by snow and
below zero weather over most of the
state. The only farm work ct the
present time has to do with the feed
ing Of livestock and preparation of
the turkey crop for market. Farm
labor supply, as q Consequence,
shows the seasonal advance over de-
mand and Is reported at 81 per cent
Of normal with the demand at 80
per cent on December first.
For the United States
Winter wheat sown this fall for
harvest next yeaf in the United
States is estimated at 1889, 900
acreg. This compares with 43, 1885,
600 acres planted last fall, Of which
81, 872, 900 acres were harvested in
1927. The average condition in the
United States is IS per cent Of nor
NAL.
United States winter rye acreage
planted for harvest in 1928 is esti-
mated at $780,, 900 acres which Is
about three per cent Increase over
the acreage harvested in 1927. The
condition Of the crop on December
first was estimated at 80 per cent
Of normal.

Benefit Of the Doubt For

Small Benefit! ExecutiOner
Waits on Gov. Smith

NEA Service Writer

Ossining, N. Y, Dec. q. -
They're giving Ruth Snyder and
Judd Gray the benefit of the
doubt" at Sing Sing prison here.
1--WE have made no plans for the
execution" said Warden Lewis E.
Lawes. Eve will not make any
until Governor Smith acts. So long
as there is any doubt we give the
prisoner the benefit of it."
But there is small consolation in
this for Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray.

Is carried out on schedule.
1t was the morning Of March 81
Of this year that Albert Snyder's
body was found in his bed, his skull
crushed by a window sashweight
and his throat wrapped with picture
wire.
The scene was a "row house"
one of many houses built very much
alike-in Queens Village, q Long
Island suburb.
Lorraine, the nine year : old
daughter of the Snyders, called the
police. She found her mother on the
floor, bound and gagged.
Mrs. Snyder told the police a
story Of robbery. Her jewls had
been taken, she said. But the Jewels
quickly were found under mat

OF suspense pending explanation
of the murder, therefore, there was
almost none.
Confessions swiftly were obtained
from Gray and Mrs. Snyder. Gray
admitted a rendezvous with Mrs.
Snyder at the Snyder home the
night of March 20. He admitted d
murder plot. He admitted hammer
ing Snyder to death with tho SASH
weight.
The trial came in the summer.
Mrs. Snyder, turning savagely on
Gray, fought desperately to clear
herself.
Gray's Dramatic Court Story
Gray, taking the witness stand as
witness, elaborated dramatically
on his confession. He told the long,
sordid story of his love affair with
Mrs. Snyder; Of their meetings at
New York hotels, their trips about
the country together.
Albert Snyder was a stolid sort,
and none too we'll off. Ruth Sny-
der wanted her fun. Judd Gray
provided it.
Judd Gray didn't ask anything for
himself at his trial. He merely
wanted to get the whole story off
his chest, he said. He did.
Now Governor Smith is to say
whether the grim finding Of the
jury is to stand.
