Thirty-two per cent of all the states fatal accidents occurred in these cities in 1924. The total dropped to 29 per cent in 1925 and to 2s per cent in 1926. Deaths from accident percentages in the other towns Of the state consequently in- creased from 6S per cent in 1924 to Il in 1925 and 72 per cent in 1926.
 A steady increase in the percent age of accidents occurring in towns of 10000 population or more has also been maintained. until last year 70 per cent of all the states accidents were in cities and towns of this class.
 While the increase of all acci- dents has been constant in the larger towns the small towns have been the ones to list advancing per centages of fatal accidents. Only S3 per cent of the deaths in 1924 resulted from accidents in towns under 10000 population. But the next year the increase was to 39 per cent, lowering slightly to 97 per cent in 1926.

 By her superb craftsmanship, Katherine Neville was the stellar star of the evening. She heaved in four field throws and two from the foul line. The Merritt girls, Jean and Betty, are both strong players, in the game all the time. Sheldon and Mcintosh both played well, the five making a rattling good lineup
