URGES THAT ALL AID.
TO STOP ACCIDENTS
Death Rate From Auto Acct
dents Increasing, Says
Commissioner Babc0ck
SHOULD ENFORCE LAW
Glaring Headlights Nest Com
mon Cause of Trouble
Should Be Careful

Commenting on figures given
out by the State Board of Health,
showing 81 more deaths due to
auto accidents in Minnesota in
1927 than in 1926, C. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways, made a
plea for better enforcement Of
traffic laws and called special at
tention to the need of enforcing
the law against glazing headlights.
He also asks newspapers, parents,
teachers and auto clubs to give
serious attention to accident pre-
vention.
eff we are to have reduction in
the number of accidents, there
must be consistent and not spor-
adic enforcement of the traffic
laws. But to effect real decrease
in accidents, every driver and
every pedestrian must be continu-
ally on the alert. Newspapers, par
ents and teachers can do no more
useful service than conducting
continuous safety campaigns, call
ing attention not only to the need
of obeying traffic regulations but
to the imperative necessity of be
ing cautious at all times, both
when driving and when walking.
"The glazing headlight is one
of the most fruitful sources Of ac-
cidents. Formerly it was difficult
to handle this problem but with
definite standards for testing lights
the glazing headlight evil can be
eliminated if peace officers
throughout the state will take
steps to enforce the law and if
automobile clubs and law-abiding
citizens will give the police their
backing.
''The State Highway Department
has gone as far as it can under
the law, by devising standards of
measurement and establishing
headlight testing stations all over
the state. This department has no
power to enforce the law, as that
is left entirely to the local peace
officers. If they will compel all
car owners who have dazzling
lights to have their lamps adjust
ed, it will make night driving much
safer for everybody. But without
general enforcement of the law,
the new testing stations will be of
little value.
Enforcing the light law in
wolves no hardship on anyone. Ar

Minnesota Will Receive
$2,O00,0 900 Federal Aid
Federal Government Will Aid Ma
terially in Developing Trunk
Highways of Minnesota

Approval by President Coolidge
of the bill authorizing an appro.
piration of SIS, 100000 federal aid
for highways for each of the fiscal
years of 1880 and 1881, assures
continuation of the federal aid
which Minnesota has been receiv-
ing for several years past. Mime
sofa will probably receive APPROX
imately the same amounts as in
the present biennium, the allot-
ment for 1928 being $2,112,595.
Total allotments made to Minneso-
ia from 1917 to 1923 were $751;
704,375.
In addition to the appropriation
for main highways, the bill also
carries $7,500,000 annually for
building forest roads and trails.
Minnesota receives comparatively
small amounts of this.
Making the appropriations two
years in advance allows the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads and the
state highway departments time to
outline their construction programs
in advance and have plans ready
so that work can proceed as rap
idly as funds are available.
That federal highway aid is now
an established policy is indicated
by the fact that there was less OPP
position to the appropriation in
Congress than at previous sessions.

morale. Our formations were
tighter, our combats faster, an0
our flying better as result.
We had a number of close calls
but considering the amount of fly.
ing we had done, and that all of il
was military flying, which cannot
be ever compared with commercial
traffic as far as safety is con-
cerned, our accidents were remark
ably few and none resulted
seriously.
No one knows of the risk he
takes better than the pursuit pilot
and no one is less concerned about
it. Every move, although at light
ming speed, is made with GOODNESS
born of experience and love of
flying. The Army Air Corps is
built up of men who fly for the
love of flying. Their only mission
in life is to build up the finest
air corps in the world, and their
greatest desire is to be given the
opportunity to do so without re-
striction. If an officer is lost in
duty he would be the last one to
wish for resulting restrictions on
his comrades.
IA week of our pursuit training
was spent on gunnery expedition
at Galveston. We flew there from
Kelly Field in M. B.-3A. machines
and fired on tow targets exclu-
sively. Our field was close to the
Gulf, and when the days opera
lions had been completed we were
free to go about as we chose.
Consequently a large part of the
evening was spent along the rocky
beach.
On the night of our last day at
Galveston several OF us were hold
ing contest to decide which
could reach the most distant rock
between the breakers, before the
next wave rolled in. One of the
fellows was outstanding in his
accomplishments.
In fact he was so dextrous that
none of US could compete, so we
were all loud in our praises and
unanimously agreed that there
was not a rock in the gulf too
obscure for him. There was,
however, rock number of feet
beyond the most distant point any
of us had attained, which was
visible only for an instant as the
last breaker :receied and before
the next arrived. Even this was
possible, we confidently assured
him.
He watched that rock intently
for several minutes; then bolstered
up by our praise and his own con-
he stood poised and ready.
At the proper moment he nimbly
leaped from boulder to boulder
after the retreating surf, but just
before the final rock was touched
a large wave lowered above it.
Too late! The chance of retreat
had never been considered and its
opportunity had passed. With do
or die determination he leaped
onto the boulder and into the
prraK1ng wave.
This incident would not have
been serious or it's consequences
important had we been able to
carry any extra equipment in our
pursuit planes, but as it was,
extra clothing was a scarce article,
and when we took off for San
Antonio and Kelly the following
morning, it was necessary for him
to send his wet clothes back in a
De Haviland and make his flight
in a bearskin flying suit without
Insulation against the bearskin.

When the health conference is con-
vened, public health officers will SUBJ
NIT to it plans for Nationwide sur
vey of conditions to be executed on a
house-to-house canvass basis and in
volving intensive laboratory studies.
Similar to 1918 Study.
The field study under contemplation
is similar to the one made by the Public
Health Service in 1918, it was said
This involved gathering information at
first hand in IL large cities in repre-
sentative sections of the country. Cities
selected would be divided into areas
and lay employees working under public
health officers would cover these, get
ting directly from families infected
dependable record of prevalent symp-
toms and data on how the disease had
spread.
Coupled with this field work the
Public Health Service plans to carry
on laboratory studies. Even though the
influenza germ or germs were not
isolated at this time, 1t was explained,
investigation would develop knowledge
helpful both in this and future
epidemics.
Off1cials said another purpose of the
conference is to get together the men
from the battlefield" in order that they
may exchange suggestions and informa-
ton.
The State officials, moreover, will be
asked to Cooperate with public health
officials In conducting the field studies.

MEDICINAL WHISKY
EASILY OBTAINABLE
Prohibition Officials Say Liquor
Can Be Gotten for Use
in Epidemic.

Whatever the increase in the preva-
lence of influenza, Federal prohibition
officials in washington feel present laws
are sufficiently elastic to cover the need
for medicinal whisky.
Reports reached Washington yesterday
that from all parts of the country the
Treasury Department Is being bonn
barded with demands for relaxation
OF the regulations governing medicinal
whisky supplies during the influenza
epidemic. The bombardment was denied
by the prohibition division, although 1t
was admitted that there were some
requests, "but not many"
DR.. James M. Doran, prohibition
commissioner, said he knew of only
one request.
II had a letter from fellow in
Florida who said that he couldn't get
any liquor on a prescription" DR.. Doran
said. But that isn't our fault. There
is a State law in Florida which pro-
hibits the sale of whisky even with a
prescription.
Several States nave the same kinds
Of laws that Florida has, and there's
nothing that can he done about it..
However, in ether states there are
plenty of Federal facilities to take care
of the demands for medicinal liquor"

GIL TO TRY
TO DRY Up MEXICO.
Thinks Enforcement Now I'm

Gradual, He Says.
By Cable to The Stsx.

By Cable to The Sts<.
MEXICO CITY, December 90
While President Emilio Portes Gil has
plainly declared himself in favor of the
enactment of dry law for Mexico
similar to the eighteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
he does not believe that an attempt to
enforce such a law in Mexico at pres
ent would be either practical or pos
sible, as much as he himself Is an
avowed dry and would like to see
Mexico dry.
Talking to foreign correspondents,
the President said that an attempt to
convert Mexico overnight from wet
country into a dry one would be "a
failure and ineffective" He declared,
however, that during his brief term
he will do his utmost on behalf of pro-
hibition and that he mapped out a sort
Of training process aimed to divert
the country's attention from alcoholism.
Portes Gil said that his program in
cluded the encouragement of cultural
works. furnishing people with new and
healthy means of entertainment such
as greater interest in music and popular
entertainments that would lead to the
gradual abolition of the drink habit;
especially to imbue Mexicans with a
love for sports of all kinds, ito take
people away from the centers of vice. "
He added, II am making study of
what measures can best be adapted to
combat alcohol" and pointed to his
native state of Tamaulipas, where he,
as governor, implanted prohibition in
rural districts and some cities, while in
others restrictive measures were adopt
I'd and confirmed the report that no new
liquor licenses have been issued in
Mexico City since his inauguration and
that none would be issued, and that dur
ing his term In general an energetic
campaign against liquor would be car
ried out by him personally and that
recommendation to this effect would
likewise be made to all state governors.
AS a part of his administrations gen.

learned officially, Portes Gil has desig-
mated the sum of 100000 pesos to be
expended during 1929 for further irriga-
ton works, following out the program
Of ex-PreSident Gales.
Likewise he has authorized that
100000 pesos be spent for building
more roads, and that at least 1000 addi-
tional rural schools will be opened dur

HUNCAR|ANS PLAN
DRIVE TO GET KING
Legitimists to Open Cam
paign in June to Put Arch
duke Otto on Throne.
BY the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, December 90.
The Legitimist party of Hungary will
begin active campaigning next June
for the return of the former prince,
Archduke Otto, and his election to the
vacant throne of st. Stephen, it was
revealed here today.
The 16-year-old archduke already has
the coronation robe, sent to him by the
Legitimist party, which also recently
dispatched court photographer to the
tiny fishing village of Legueitio, Spain,
where Otto is living with his mother,
former Empress Zita, and the rest OF
the family, in humble circumstances.
To Take 100 Pictures.
The photographer will take 100 pic
lures of the archduke in state robes
and many other poses, representing the
youth as a field marshal, as an officer
of the Imperial Hussars Regiment and
as sitting at desk studying Hungarian
history. Other pictures will show him
at conference with his mother, wear
ing an august and austere expression,
such as is suitable for a monarch. The
camera, studies will be used in an
album which the LegitimistS intend to
circulate throughout Hungary. NJ.
The Legitimists maintain that Otto
automatically became King of Hungary
under an ancient hereditary rule when
he reached his sixteenth year. There
fore all members of the party address
him as Your Majesty"
Life Spent Abroad.
Although the youth has lived abroad
most of his life, his whole training has
been shaped with the Hungarian throne
In the background. Count Apponyi,
Hungary's veteran statesman and
leader of the Legitimists, who recently
spent a month with otto at Lequeitio
told the Associated Press that Otto had
developed into remarkably bright and
precocious youth, with great knowledge
of history, politics, civics, philosophy
science, statecraft and international
law.
"Since he became King of Hungary
on his sixteenth birthday he is keenly
alive to the approaching duties OF his
exalted Office and carries himself like a
veteran ruler" the count said.
Another faction of the country has
been urging that the throne be given
to Archduke Albrecht, distant cousin
Of Otto.

HOLDS ALLEN REMOVED SELF.
Governor Elect Declares He Is Unde-
cided on Appointee.

TOPEKA, Kans., December 90 DR.
Clyde M. Reed, Governor -elect Of KAN
sas, tonight indicated that he had
reached no decision with regard to the
appointment of a successor to Senator
Charles Curtis, who has decided to
stick to his post in the Senate until
he becomes Vice President. Senator
Curtis decision. announced tonight in
Washington, left the appointment up to
Reed.
Reed replied to a question as to the
probable appointee.
January IA, succeeding Gov. Ben S.
Paulen, said Henry j. Allen, former
governor, voluntarily took himself out
of consideration" for the senatorship
last June and that Allen since has
reiterated this position on several
Several Suggested.
The three governors-past, present
and future-are Republicans.
The governor indicated he
might not make the appointment I'M
mediately after Curtis retires from the
Senate unless there is urgent reason,
such as a special session of Congress.
A number of persons have been sug-
gested or recommended to the gov
ernor-elect for the appointment. Among
them, he said, were:
Ralph Snyder, president of the Kan
sas State Farm Bureau; j. H. Mercer,
State sanitary livestock commissioner;
Seth G. Wells, State oil inspector and
former Republican State chairman;
Representative D. r. Anthony, jr.;
Homer Hoch and James G. Strong, G.
@. Chandler, Wichita banker, and T.
E. Wagstaff. independence attorney.
Others whose names have figured
prominently heretofore in speculation
as possible appointees, especially IN the
event the appointment had fallen TO
Gov. Paulen, included:
Clyde Miller of Topeka, former sec
retary to Gov. Paulen; j. N. Tincher
of Hutchinson and Charles F. Scott,
lola, former members Of Congress; Al
F. Williams, United States district at
torney, and w. Y. Morgan, Hutchinson,
former lieutenant governor.
Senator Curtis announcement that
he would stick to his post until March
4, thereby permitting the governor-elect
to make the appointment Of his sue
cessor instead of its falling to Gov.
Paulen, was not entirely unexpected IN
Kansas political circles.
Immediately following Curtis election
to the vice presidency 1t generally was
predicted that he would resign before
the retirement Of Gov. Paulen, who is
considered one Of the Curtis faction,
while Reed is not.
In recent weeks, however, there have
been persistent exports that Curtis had
been requested by President Coolidge
to stay by his post until the end OF the
present short session.
