within the corporate limits of cities with over 100000 population. Fig ures collected by the National Safety Council indicate that one-third Of all automobile deaths are of children under 15. Almost 60 per cent of au- tomobile fatalities come from con- tact between a car and pedestrian, and about } per cent from collisions between two cars. Over 70 out of 00 fatal motor vehicle accidents are caused by passenger cars, almost 70 by trucks, and about five by taxi cabs.
 Only 20 "LiCense states
 Since 1920. automobile fatalities have increased about 50 per cent per ca pita population, but have de creased about , per cent in propof- ton to the total number of automo- piles registered. Out of 1S large cities. 56 had more automobiIe deaths in the 5 weeks ending No- vember 20. 1929. than in the preced- ilg 52 weeks. Three had the same number and 19 had fewer.
 More stringent supervision over automobile operators is one of the means often urged for reducing the death toll from automobiles. By Au- gust l5. 1929. only 20 states of the aS. and the District Of Columbia, had required drivers to take out licenses. Twelve of these 20, and the District of Columbia, required examinations. In seven. an examination was op- , tional with designated officials. In three of these 20 states, the mlnl- mum age requirement was 1 years. In two, it was 1j years. In l!, and the District of Columbia. it was 6 years. In one. ii was l7, and iA two, IS years of age.

EDUCATION SEEKS
 ITS OWN PURPOSE
1929 Marked by Quest for Values
 and Ultimate Goals
BY BELMONT FARLEY { Assistant Director Division Of Pub licdtions National Education
 Association

Assocation)
 Washington. Dec. $l Py-The year 1929 in education has seen an ever widening demand for more ac- curate evaluations Of educational purposes and results.
 The growing popularity Of apply ing an objective and impersonal yardstick to school and college progress is seen in large number of statewide and nationwide sur NeyS.
 Three major surveys under the direction of the United States office of education, to cost total Of more than s500,000. were started or planned during the year.
 The field work of the survey of the e land grant colleges, which in- clude % state universities, was brought to close at q cost of Sl17,000.
 A survey of all high schools was begun 10 discover the most effective methods and study materials 10 be used in secondary education.
 Preliminary steps for a study of the practices and achievements in the training of teachers have been taken by the United States office of education. II is expected to start in 1890.
 Commissions to study the state school situation. either in general or in certain special aspects. were created in 1929 by law in Calitor nia. Delaware. Hawaii, Illinois. Iowa. Kansas. Massachusetts, Michi- gan. Missouri New Jersey. Penn sylvania. Rhode Island and Wash ington. Other states with school surveys of some kind in progress during the year included Florida. Arkansas, Oregon, Mississippi and Virginia.
 A significant step toward more effective government relationships with the schools was taken when Secretary Wilbur appointed an ad- Vsory committee on education whose purpose is to make study of the present relations of the ma tional government to education and to make recommendation as to a | future program.

WATCH FOUR STEP
 ID REMAIN ALIVE
Two Of Every 100 Deaths in
 1880 Will Be by Autos
Special to the uerald)

Washington, Dec 3l--Whcn I pc, dcstrian. watch your step; when driving. watch the road and be pru- dent during 1880. For if the record of 1929 continues throughout 1880. almost two of every 100 deaths in the year will be due 10 automobile accidents.
 This estimate was compiled and announced today by the federal cen the field of forecasting as well as dealing in cold, analytical statistics of the past and present.
 2S.00O Deaths Forecast
 Highlights in the estimates are these:
 The total number of deaths from automobile accidents in 1929 will be around 2S.00o. In 1928 it was 25,000. These figures exclude deaths due to collisions of automobiles with trains and street cars. The economic loss to the nation caused by automobile fatalities will be nearly a billion dol lars.
 In 1928 two out Of every 100 deaths were due to automobile acci- dents. They constituted 50 out of every 100 deaths due to accidents of all kinds. It may be estimated that in 1880 there will be at least 75o.- OoO distinctly serious automobile ac- cidents, in addition to those which may be fatal.
 Worse Than Appendicitis
 Automobile accidents, according to figures just published by the Census Bureau for 1926, rank tenth among all causes of death in the United States. More people die from auto- mobile accidents than from appendi- citis. and almost one-fOurth as many as from tuberculosis.
 About one fourth of all deaths | from automobile accidents occur

Directors Helping to Prevent

He Declares.

The playground directors Of the Dis

and crime, through aiding in providing
recreation and provision for effective
leisure time activities, declared Elwood

ing of playground directors in the Dis
trict Building yesterday.
"Under the crowded conditions OF
city life with It's commercialized and
often unregulated recreation new sig

nine. An ounce of dollars spent now

adult life and useful citizenship is much
better than a pound of dollars spent
later on in caring for those who
through wrong use of their leisure
time have become community liabilities
instead of assets, who have not merely
made nothing of themselves but
have damaged, often irreyocably, the
property and the well-being OF their
fellow citizens" Mr.. Street said.
Explaining that portions of the Com
munity Chest funds are being appor-
toned between organizations that
provide recreational facilities, Mr.. Street,
in concluding, said:
Preventive and character building
work is the finest kind of charity"

INGRATITUDE OF NATIONS

We read of many cruel, stupid and nhuman
happenings In our own country that it is perhaps
seemly to point out similar occurrences in other
tiOnS.
Somehow have always considered France as
leaving stone unturned to for those who have
suffered in her behalf, who have risked their lives
in her defense The idea of Franch soldier being
ed with anything but the utmost consideration
ed entirely impossible
Yet read of French general, "a years old,
poverty stricken and practically helpless evcted from
his little home after battle which required
more of gendarmes, armed with clubs guns, tear
bombs and other modern implements of war
The real details of the incident may be obscured
but according to reports is certain that the gal
liant old soldier gave plenty of battle before he
rcadng himself in it. he defed the minons of the law
to remove him and fought courageous fight in the
face of overwhelming odds.
The incident is not of which France can be
proud The broken old soldier entitled to his home
for the few years left him to enjoy it, matter
what the law may have said to the contrary The Of
fer of wealthy woman to pay the old soldiers den-
quences and guarantee his future Indebtedness
pulsed by those to whom he indebted. He could
not pay and he must go-that the law and French
avarice defeated French valor.
Still il is not for US to censure France. We can
cite many instances at home equally aggravatng as
Frances treatment of her general. For instance this
great nation with all its wealth, permits mother the
widow of one of its bravest beroes-Generaf Fred
Funston-to struggle along mserly pension which
forces her to daily labor in order to support her child
She gave her husband to the country and is Civ
ing to follow his footsteps, and the nation gives
her--nothing.

PREDICTS SPEED
OF 300 M. P. H.
FOR AUTOMOBILE
BY HENRY RUSSELL
limited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, July 3. U.H Racing
fans at Daytona and other Amer,
can courses may yet see speed ears
tearing past them at the rate of
800 miles an hour, in the opinion of
England S Racing Earl, Lord
Cottenham.
But the earl claims that not until
new type of tire is invented, one
which will withstand the hardships
of such high speed, will Il 800 mile
clip be possible, and at the same
time safe.
cit is extremely difficult to pre-
diet exactly what speed will be at
tanned by automobiles in the fn-
ture,'' Lord Cottenham said in an
interview with the United Press :o'
day.
Generally speaking, speed rs
dependent upon four things-the
design of the ear, the state of the
track, weather conditions and luck,
"Although the progress in the
automobile industry makes any pre-
diction with regard to future speeds
subject to great unreliability, !
would hazard Il rough guess that
given good weather conditions, II
fine track like Daytona Beach and
plenty of luck, u speed As high as
500 miles an hour might be obtain
cd from "A ear of appropriate de-
sign. But | doubt very much that 4
greater speed can be obtained, at
least for years to come.
- say this in the belief that re-
gardless of other factors that might
prevent such speed from being eS-
ceeded, no tire has yet been manr'
factured which would he likely Ia
Withstand the wear and tear OF
ANYTHING above 800 miles an hour. ,
The racing earl regards automo'
bile speed contests as important to
the automobile industry and of
great practical value in the develop
ment of motors.
"If there never had been any
motor racing the automobile indus
try never would have reached its
present stage of development, he
added. ~ know there are peonic
who maintain that. it is pure folly
to drive at high speed. That is
quite wrong. True, there is dis
tinct element of danger in automo.
bile racing, but il iS by no means
a futile risk to take.
