Cars Kill More
Than Disease

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20-
Automobiles caused more deaths in
California from 1928 to 1927 than
were caused by typhoid fever, dyp
iberia, scarlet fever, measles, whoop.
ing cough and infantilc paralysis
combined, according to Walter NJ.
Dickic, director of the state de-
partment of public health.
Increase in deaths from auto
mobiles has about kept pace with
increase in population and the num-
Der Of automobiles, the physician
said.
In 1923. there were 14I3 deaths
from automobiles; in 1924, the num-
Der deaths decreased to 1864; in
1925, the total mounted to 1884
1926 showed 1923 deaths from
automobiles, while in 1927 automo
bilcs cost the lives of 1882 persons
IN the state, he said.
About two thirds of the deaths
from automobile accidents during
the five years were men, DickIc
said, but this was attributed to the
fact that more men than women
drive cars.

HOW TO KEEP PROSPERITY

EDWARD A. Fiene, the Boston merchant who has
revealed remarkably acute vision when it comes to
sIuoElng problems connected with our new factory
system OF civilization, has some highly interesting
IDEAS on the question of prosperity.
Mr.. Fiene admits that the country is biqblv pros
PeIouS To-Day But he doesn't think it is as prosper
Gus as ought to be, and he wants to see prosperity
carried TO Its maximum pitch.
/ ne country, he suggests, does not when If goes
INTO an industrial slump suffer from oyer-production
as most people think; instead it suffers from under
consumption
"Over-production, says Mr. Filene .implies that
mere is definite limit to the amount Of any goods that
the consumers will buy. Actually long as prices
remain high and wages low, there NAV be such
hmlt-but who shall say how much Of anything any
person viii buy when high wages and low prices make

ike to-" " ~ ~
INDUSTRIES that use mass production methods pay

oe prosperity he continues; but there are still many
workers VINO cannot buy much as they would like
To- and their inability to do so retards the prosnertv
Of the country as a whole
AS remedy, he suggests the adoption everywhere

SCHOOLING FOR
YOUNG REGENT
ODDLY PLANNED

PARIS, Sept. 2o.--A special re-
gime has been instituted for the
education of the 14-yeatold En-
peror of AMMAN, His Majesty Bao
Dai, who is completing his schooling
in Paris and French resorts before
assuming his hereditary rights in
France 5 distant possession.
Bao Dai does not have to sit at
the ordinary school-room desk of
oGher pupils. Instead. he has n

ate apartment All of his lessons
are taken privately, professors Sc

to play football with his fellow
students. whom he sees only when
they happen TO pass beneath his
windows on theW way home, but
protocolc' must be observed.
His only compensation is that he
does not have to write out his
"homo work. - Occasional verbal
examinations are sufficient. When
he becomes Emperor of AMMAN he
will have a whole staff of Profes,
Sors at his disposal to solve any
important problems.
On the other hand, he does not
have the satisfaction of French
schooiboys, for there is no public

FORCETS HERO
OF GREAT WAR
Willie SandIin, With Trunk
Full of Medals, Gets
No Real Reward.
BY GEORGE BIDINGER
NEA Service Correspondent

HYDEN, KY, Feb. 24.-Willie
Sandltn moved his family up from
Big Greek last week to his wife's
folks, at the mouth of Owls Nest
Greek, half-mile from here.
Willie had to give up his rented
farm on Big Greek because his
health is getting worse. His wife
helped him all she could on the
farm last year, but her three babies
took much of her time.
Willie and his family aren't liv-
ing In their old tWo-room cabin any
more. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
founder of the moonlight schools"
said it was disgrace to Kentucky"
that the Sandlin family should be
living in a place like that anyway.
But they're out Of it now. Willie
Sandlin hasn't a roof Of his own
to shelter his wife and three little
daughters.
Senator Hiram Brock, who repre-
sents Leslie County, where Sandlin
lives, has introduced a bill in the
Legislature to buy Willie Sandlin a
$4,000 farm. The bill has been
reported favorably by the Senate
committee and the Senator thinks
it has a good chance of being
passed. The House committee hasn't
given a report on it yet,
Besides his mule and few other
things, Sandlin moved a trunk up
to his father-in- laws that had a
handful of rather interesting war
souvenirs careleSsly slowed away in
one corner. Willie was a sergeant
in the World War.
He doesn't mind showing you the
Luger pistol that he took from
German officer, but he is rather
reticent about the other trinkets,
and unless you ask Mrs. Sandlin
they may not be brought out of the
old trunk.
Here is a list of the souvenirs"
that Will Sandlin brought in his
pockets when he came riding home
over the Leslie County hills back in
1919: The congressional medal OF
honor, Croix de Guerre with PALM,
medal nilitaire Of France, Italian
war cross and Montenegrin war
cross.
