SLASH AUTOS
TOLL BY HALF,
EXPERT URGES
so Per Cent of Accidents
Are AvoiIdabIe, Safety
Isle Father Declares.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Fifty per
cent of traffic accidents are avoid
able, in the opinion of Barron Col
lier, famed traffic control expert and
advertising man, guardian angel of
the New York pedestrian for whom
he originated the idea of painting
isles of safety" in the middle of
congested streets.
Handling traffic" he declared,
largely is a question of psychology.
This must be taken into considera-
ton if the problem is to be tackled
successfully.
Use of Psychology
For instance" he added, ''you
don't think for one moment there
is any particular desire on the part
of the average motorist to knock
down the average pedestrian, do
you?
Nor is there any anxiety on the
part of the average pedestrian to
be run over by the average mo-
toriSt."
ct was that very willingness on
the part of motorists and pedes-
TRANS to avoid accidents which in
duced me to try the isles of safety
idea. 1t is only human psychology"
Mayor Walker, Collier said, never
answered the letter in which he
described his proposals to relieve
congestion in New York by barring
heavy traffic from the streets in the
daytime, allowing them to use the
roads only at night.
Heavy Traffic at Night
He had proposed that from Seven
ty-second street down, First and
Twelfth avenues be reserved for four
lines of heavy commercial traffic to
be separated by four white lines
painted in the street. The two
center lines, he said, were to be for
express" traffic only. The two other
lines were for local" traffic, Gust
like on the subway"
Besides he concluded, "the
scheme would enable the New York
police practically to annihilate
banditry. With traffic running all
night, it hardly is likely that thugs
would have much of a chance, is ito"
he asked.

York after visit to Paris and Bad
en-Baden.

SLIM FIGURE
NOW UNREASONABLE
Women and Girls Can Now Be
Healthy as Well as Stylish

That excessive and unnatural
slimness that ruined the health Of
thousands of women and young
girls is no longer fashionable. Paris
couturiers are developing clothes
for the rounded figure. Musical
comedy producers are searching for
healthy, normal figures for the
stage. All the world is getting
health-wise where the human figure
is concerned.
This means that women and girls
will be encouraged to eat enough
varied foods at regular meals TO
supply the requirements Of health.
1t means that tuberculosis, anemia
and other dangerous results Of
undernourishment may be more
easily averted. And to the eyes Of
discerning men and beauty experts,
it means that women will be more
natural and more beautiful.
Eat cereals, milk, fruits, vege-
tables and meats daily. Do not
gorge or overeat, but eat variety.
Remember that flavor, is the one
important factor IN causing people
to eat varieties of foods, and that
sugar is natures supreme condi-
ment for developing the favors Of
nearly every heaIthful food.
The necessity of a dash of sugar
for making cereals, fruits and milk
desserts delicious is we'll known.
Women cooking experts recently
discovered that a dash of sugar in
vegetables while they are cooking
revolutionizes their freshness and
natural vegetable havors. Most
foods are more delicious and nour.
ishing with sugar. The Sugar

BRITISH LIKELY
TO Reject new
WAR DEBT PLAN
Four-PoWer Offer Regarded
as Unsatisfactory on
go Per Cent Basis.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press staff Correspondent

THE HAGUE, Aug. 26.-While
British Chancellor Philip Snowden
studied today the most recent offer
OF France, Italy, Belgium and Japan,
supposedly granting 60 per cent of
Britains demands for increased
reparations annuities, the British
delegation gave intimations the
four-power offer was likely to be re-
fused.
The adjournment of the confer
ence tomorrow without result was
considered a serious possibility.
Betting odds among the confer
ence spectators favor the rejection
of the offer by Snowden which in
eYitably will mean a new crisis.
Percentage Is Offered
Rumors persist the new offer, be-
sides referring to the tentative set
Element Of the deliveries in kind

Of the British claim for an increased
share of unconditional annuities,
proposes between SIS and 60 per cent
of the 100000 marks fat increase
in British cash reparations.
After comforting with represent
atives of the other three powers
which submitted the offer to Snow
den, M. Adatchi of Japan visited
Snowden and opened the first dis
cusSion of the new proposal. News
reaching the German delegation
after the offer was delivered to
Snowden caused Gustave Strese-
mann, German foreign minister, to
make pessimistic utterances as to
the prospects for an agreement. The
Germans we're convinced Snowden
would reject the offer.
If the statement emanating from
semi official French source is true
that the new proposal offers Britain
only between % 100000 and 29,000,-
600 of the marks demanded, Snow
dens refusal Of the offer is con-
sidered certain. The contents of
the four-power offer were expected
to be revealed later today.
Predict Failure
British sources intimated if the
four powers proffer fulfillment of
only SIS to go per cent of the British
$4,000 ,000-mark demand, and if this
is the four powers last word, tire

The rumors aver the IS to so per
cent of the $4,000 000-mark an
nuities comprises 220,000000 marks
of the 100000, 900 accruing from The
excess of the Dawes plan over the
Young plan payments for the last
five months
France, Belgium, Italy and Japan
have agreed to abandon their claim
to any of these 300,000,000 marks If
Germany does likewise. Moreover
this part of the offer is reported to
include 100,000,000 marks the British
receive above the Spa percentages
under the Young plan the first year.
Finally it is understood Italy has
made a concession by assuming a
large guaranty of the l50,000,000

26.-Frederic S. Snyder. chairman of
the Institute of American Meat
Packers, told the institute of po-
liticS today the consent decree"
restricting the business of four lead
ing American meat packers, is
archaic and should be removed.
Snyder, who also is president of
Batchelder & Snyder Co. of Bos--
ton, said the packers agreed to
the consent decree at the end of the
war to avoid legislative restrictions
which were urged by the federal
trade commission.
The reports of the commission
which recommended government
control Of branch houses and diStri-
buting centers of the meat packers,
we're characterized by Snyder as
patiently prejudiced."
Under the terms of the consent
decree, he said, meat packers are
forbidden to handle milk, fruit,
vegetables or groceries and also are
forbidden to own stock in or to
become proprietors or partners in
retail stores, or to have interests
in Stockyards.
