PERIL TO LIFE
HIGHEST IN U. S
Accidental Deaths Are on
Rapid Increase.

By Science Service
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The United
States has more fatal accidents
than any other country, DR.. Louis
L. Dublin of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company declared at the
National Safety Congress here Mon
day. While England and Wales in
1927 had thirty-eight accidental
deaths for each 100000 of popula-
ton, the United States had seventy
eight to 100000 Scotland had fifty
to 100000, Sweden had thirty-five to
100000, France, twenty-nine to 100,-
000 and Germany thirty-six to
100000.
Instead of going down, the num-
Der of fatal accidents in this coun-
try is increasing In 1928 there were
more than during any other year
on record. Automobile accidents are
most frequent, being responsible for
almost a third of the total. In
1928 there we're 27,500 deaths from
motor vehicle accidents. These
were accompanied by $4,000 serious,
nonfatal injuries from the same
cause.
The reports from the cities and
states indicate that the cities of this
country are not experiencing as
rapid an increase in motor fatalities
as are the rural districts, DR.. Dublin

U. S. Dry Prosecutions Are
PiIing Up; Ten Known
Candidates.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1-Presi-
dent Hooyer's three-months' search
for a man to fill the shoes Of Mrs
Mabel Walker Willebrandt as pro-
hibition chief of the department OF
justice presents major problem OF
the administration today.
Short handed under the tempo
rary arrangement. the governments
prosecutions in this field are &C
cumulating faster than they can be
handled by the new staff. A new
term of the supreme court virtually
is at hand with a calendar calling
for arguments, briefs, answers. The
President still is undecided on the
appointment of new assistant at
torney-general.
Although White House officials
never have revealed a single name,
Tor confirmed one disclosed from
other quarters about the capital, 1t
s known that at least ten men have
been proposed for the important
assignment. All of this list have
been described as satisfactory TO
Attornev-General Mitchell. When
the President virtually had deter
mined upon an appointment, he en-
countered opposition from a mem
Der of the senate. So vigorous was
this senatorial resistance that con-
drmation appeared doubtful.
The capitals wet and dry lobbists
have complicated the problem fur
Their for the chief executive. De-
cisive power in major prohibition
cases rests with the justice depart
ment's prosecutor.
Dry leaders in and out Of con-
gress nave pressed for selection of
at least "a conscientious enforcer
OF the eighteenth amendment. The
President is looking for "a big man"
That is the only qualification which
has percolated to political circles
from the White House.
In addition to prohibition cases,
the new assistant will have general
supervision over federal prisons
narcotic smugglers. and revenue
prosecutions. The $1O,OOO,OOO prison
building program will be executed
by the same officer.
President Hoover is importuned
almost daily to name his man. He
has determined, apparently, - avoid
further complications in the legisla-
tive situation on Capitol Hill by
withholding the nomination until
the farm board is confirmed

my dear, I've discovered the most
amazing new Kissproof Lipstick! I
put it on once in the morning and
know my lips will look their loveliest
all day long, no matter what I do!
You don't believe it? Here, try
KisSproof, my dear-you won't need
lipstick again today!"
Kissproof, the modern waterproof
lipstick, is changing the cosmetic
habits of women everywhere. No
longer is it necessary to be bothered
with constant retouching-to be
embarrassed with ordinary hpstick
that stains handkerchiefs, teacups
and cigarettes.
Kissproof is such full natural color
that just a touch on the lips rubbed
in with the finger tips is needed.
And you have the peace of mind of
knowing that your rich, red, youth
full coloring is as natural as If 1t
were your very own-and as perma-
nent as the day is long!
We urge you to find out for yourself
hiw KisSproof stays on-what
healthy coloring it gives. At all
