These figures show that In August, 1927, when compulsory in surance was effective. there were only 54 deaths in automobile acci- dents 12 less than in the corre- spending month of 1926, and 2s less than in August. 1925,' said Good win.
 Tt should be noted, too. that the number of cars registered this year was approximately the same as in 1926, and over 50,ooo nor than in 1925"
 The registrar said compulsory ln- SuranCe had other advantages He declared it had discouraged the pur- chase of automobiles by persons who the effect of keeping ancient and ramshackle machines off the road and Of reducing the number of motor trucks. Although about 1000 more pas senger cars were registered this year than in 1926.' he said, about 12.- GOO less trucks were registered. It is evident that owners of dilapidated trucks did not wish to register them badly enough to pay the insurance costs"
 Asked how the public had react ed 10 compulsory insurance. Good win stated that large proportion of motorists favored it and that virtu- , ally every non-motorist was strong ly behind the idea because of the 1 iron clad protection if offered. Tt is a notorious fact" said Good - win. that only about one-third of ! Massa chusetts' motorists carried in surance before the new law went | into effect.
 | "7he one-third represented for the most part persons who were finan- Cially responsible and who bought ] insurance to protect themselves. "Tnder the old system, if pedes- tran were hit by an automobile op- cratcd by an uninsured motorist, the . victim usually had no recourse.
 Tn 1925, when 755 persons were killed and some 25,o00 injured, about two-thirds Of the victims re- ceived no compensation Goodwin said certain weaknesses in Massachusetts compulsory in , surancn law had been eliminated
 since it went into effect last January 1.
 "At first" he said. "a motorist
 who had been adjudged a bad risk
 by one insurance company would
 merely apply to another company
 and obtain his insurance. Now, how ever, the insurance companies have

Finds That It Has Resulted in Being Safety Measure When It Only Was h. tended to Be Means for Protecting Public From Financial Losses.

Boston, Sept. 27.-UP)-America may find in compulsory automobile insurance a much sought antidote for motor vehicle accidents.
 Massachusetts, the only state which now has this form of 1nsur- ance, has found it an effective safety measure, according to Frank A. Goodwin, registrar Of motor vehicles.
 The law was not put on the books for safety purposes" he told the United Press today. but the com pulsory insurance system has unex- pectedly proved to be a safety measure"
 Goodwin said the full benefits de- rived from the new system would not be known until January 1, when compulsory insurance will have been on trial for a year. But he declared that nearly nine months under the new law had convinced him that it was proving q complete success.
 He pointed 10 August as a typical month for comparison purposes and produced the following figures for that month in each of the past five years:

But the extravaganza in those days
was rigid economy compared with the
reckless riot of expenditures of today,
and the only wonder is that taxes are
not higher than they are when it is
considered what is going on in city,
county and state governments with
out let or hindrance.
But the people, if they ever choose
to assert themselves, can have the sort
of government they want. If they
want to put an end to this political
joy riding on the part of their Off
Gals, from the highest to the lowest,
they have it in their power to do so.

NEITHER MILITARY
NOR ANTI-MILITARY
The scouts Are the Largest Uniform
cd Body in the World

The Boy Scout movement is the
largest uniformed body in the world !;
larger than the army, navy and mar
ines combined. However, it is not a
military organization and has no con-
nection with the military department.
Of the Government
The Boy Scout movement neither
promotes nor doscourages military
training, its chief concern being the
development Of character and personal
efficiency Of teenaee boys To accom-
plish This, the program necessarily
includes special attention to the vir-
tues of loyalty, reverence, courtesy,
Ghivalry, bravery, obedience order,
resourcefulness, cleanliness, cheerful
ness, Kindness temperance, neatness,
moral courage, alertness, physical
strength and endurance.
TO this end special instruction is
given in patriotism, signaling, cook
ing, camping, sanitation. first aid to
the injured, how to care for oneself
in the open, chivalry, woodcraft
personal hygiene, public hygiene, and
the general principles conducive to
good discipline
While some Of these things are in
cluded in the ordinary preparation
for the responsibilities of the life of
the soldier, in the Scout program
they are all indispensable if Scout
is to live up to the motto, "Be Pre-
pared and to fulfill his obligations as
citizen III times of peace, no matter
how humble his position may be. This
means personal efficiency and char
acter development. and thus makes
the Bay Scout movement in reality
as strong factory as any other one
agency which, the country now has for
preparedness.
The uniform, the patrol, the troop,
the special Scout drills and activities
are not for military tactics nor can
they be fairly considered as military
training when these terms are cor
rectIy used. They are for the uniform
ity, harmony and rhythm of sport
which boys learn in scouting. 1t is in
the wearing of the uniform and the
doing of things together as Scouts
that they absorb. the force and truth
of the Scout Law which states that
"a good Scout is a friend to all and
a brother to every other Scout" The
rifle, the sword, and other purely mill
itary accouterments are not includ-
ed in the equipment of the troops of
Boy Scouts of America.
