The Careless Letter Writers
editorial in st. Paul Pioneer Press

The American public was 8.5 per cent less
less or inaccurate about addressing its mail in 1928
than in 1927 Even so, the annual report of Post
master General New shows that 23,649,044 letters
went to the dead letter office in 1927
Of not all of these letters went astray be-
cause of carelessness illegibility Of addressing
In many cases msdrection Of mail is unavoidable
because addresses have moved, leaving trace. But
letters need not be condemned to hopeless wander
ing, ending finally in the dead letter office for that
scnders will only place return address
on the envelope their mail can be spared the hum-
alton of such inglorous death Indeed the Postal
department attributes the improved showing of last
year to it's campaign to induce the public to give
turn addresses.
How much carelessness there does exist in the
addressing of mail, however, can be appreciated
from the fact that many of these dead letters
tain money Cash and currency found in dead letters
amounted in 1923 to nearly 100000 and the nominal
value of drafts, money orders and checks contained
was we'll over five millions.

Family Suicide

There is much less danger for the
future OF the race in overpqTulation
than In our present system of birth
control for the fit and unlimited pro-
creation for the unfit There Is prac-

there is great danger of family sui
eide. The human, race will 80 on for
millions of years, but ii Is certain
tint some OF our finest aud best fam.
lilies will leave no descendants and
have no part in the future of America.

MAKING MOTOR CARS SAFER

According to the New York
Motor News, examination Of one
insurance company's accident
report showed that the two most
frequent, serious and costly
forms of the 100000 automo-
bile accidents occurring in q
given period were collisions with
other automobiles and skidding.
Claims for the above causes
accounted for great portion of
the money paid out by insurance
companies for motor car acci.
dents during the year.

accidents. Railroad companies
long ago discovered the safety

senger cars. In collisions they
do not splinter or catch fire and
their use has been great factor
in reducing railroad casualties.
The application of the all-steel
body to the automobile will be
as big a step forward in motor
