COMPULSORY AUTOMOBILE
INSURANCE
By ALVIN E. waste

The adoption of nationwide COM
pulsory automobile insurance, in its
radical form, would prevent hundreds
! of thousands of people from buying
automobiles and deprive them of the
educational and recrea.ional advan-
tages of car ownership.
A large quota of the newcomers
into the ranks of motordom, buy low
priced used cars, and it is safe to
assume that if, in addition to the pur-
chase price of these cars, they were
compelled to pay an initial compul-
> sorry insurance premium ranging from
| $25 to $50, it would often strain them
to the point where they would give
up the idea of car ownership alto
gether.
The first blow would fall on the
used car market, which would be Sc
verely stricken inasmuch as the pros
pective buyers would figure the cost
of compulsory insurance as part of
their outlay.
Although the used car market
would be the first to be hit by COM
pulsory blanket insurance, the effect
,, of it would be Immediately felt
throughout the entire automobile in
! dustry. 1t is we'll established fact
that there is a definite ratio between
the number of new and used cars sold.
Eighty per cent of the time a man
will not buy a new car unless he can
dispose of his old one. New motor
| lists are the prospects of the used car
market and if the latter class are
scared off, the gigantic automotive
industry would feel the shock to its
very foundation.
The shock would inevitably hit the
oil industry; it would hit employ
ment and it's reverberations would be
felt through much of our economic
structure. Far too little attention
has been paid to the serious economic
aspects of compulsory automobile in
surance. There might be some ex-
cuse for overlooking these phases of
the question if compulsory insurance
could be shown to hold promise of
helping promote safety. But even
its ardent supporters have practically
Abandoned their claims in this re-
spect, as their position is now mainly
pivoted on compensation and not
safety.
| The economic results would be
serious enough, but as car owners
organization, the American Automo-
bile Association is mainly concerned
over the probability that compulsory
insurance would diminish the use, by
the people of the greatest instrumenA
of recreation that the world has ev
know-the automobile. The ado
of large insurance premium to
purchase price of used car would
many thousands of cases be st
enough to prevent purchase.
The A. A. A. has now under consid-
Grafton plans whereby the public may
be protected from the reckless and
financially responsible driver, without
imposing mass burdens and without
penalizing all and sundry because of
the recklessness of the few and in
order that the few may be assured of
compensation. One of the chief
planks in the A. A. A. program looks
towards the adoption of the main
features Of the Uniform Motor We
hicle Law particularly the proviso
for strong, workable drivers license
law.

Deadly "Milk Sickness"

Milk sickness, the ailment of which
Abraham Lincoln's mother died, Is a
peculiar malignant disease occurring
in part of the western United States.
1t affects certain kinds of farm stock,
especially COWS, and persons using the
meat and dairy products of infected
cattle. In man it causes uncontrol-
able vomiting and other serious symp-
toms. It's origin In cattle has been
variously ascribed to the presence of
certain plants in their food and to pol
luted water.

Color Highly Important

Man has apparently become careless
about one of the most important items
in his environment-color. AS soon
as he realizes fully the inhibitive and
repressive influence of drab, uninter-
esting color surroundings, the vistas
about will be Immediately trans
formed. Man has always conquered
or changed conditions unfavorable to
his best development. There is no
reason to believe that he will not rise
to the present situation and reinstate
into his daily life the color which Is
so important to his well being.-Ex-

Immortal "Serenode"

Schubert wrote the "Serenade" to
suit the words Of a poem by Ludwig
Rellstab. A number of Rellstab's
poems were originally sent by their
author to Beethoven, who declined to
do anything with them because of the
state Of his health, but who recon-
mended that they be turned over to
Schubert. This was done after Bee
thoven's death. In 1923 Schubert
wrote number of fine songs, which
were brought out after his death I'M
der the title of "Swan Songs" "Sere-
made" is No. of the Swan Songs,
which include six others written to
Rellstab's words. Schubert was born
January 81, 1897, and died November
10, 1928

Embarrassed

He was enjoying the picture at a
downtown theater recently when he
was disturbed from his leisure by a
coin rolling from his pocket The coin
hit the floor with a clink and con-
tinued its course to the orchestra pit.
The rather embarrassed man was not
sure of the denomination of the lost
coin and proceeded to go after 1t. Be
ing unable to find 1t, he summoned
two ushers, who aided him with flash
lights. At last, after quite a search,
the coin was found, and when it was
picked up, there in the finders hand
lay q shining penny.

Do you suppose that you're the Mayor

Despite the manners of them.

LETTER SKI
BY RODNEY DUTCHER, NEA Service writer

WASHINGTON - When Postmaster
General Harry New commissioned
Commander Richard E. Byrd to carry
air mail across the Atlantic, dream
began to come true in a big way.
New, reminiscing the other day, re-
called that as long as ten years ago
he had discussed with Byrd the feast
bility of an air mail service and other
angles of the future of aviation Both
had confidence in the air mail idea.
Byrd was still naval aviator and
New was then senator from Indiana,
trying to sell air mail legislation to
colleagues who wouldn't take ii very
seriously.
The postmaster general claims vir-
tual paternity of the air mail service.
He nursed it in infancy and brought
it up. 1t may seem as if he had sud-
denly laid the child on somebody's
doorstep by surrendering the service
to private operation, but New doesn't
feel that way. It's still the govern
ment's mail that's being carried and
he predicts great future for the SER
vice.
Your correspondent developed a GER
tain respect for New when he found
him in his office on warm day, with
his vest completely unbuttoncd Other
cabinet officers are not to be seen in
such state of undress Now, if New
