CURLING ACCIDENTS

The automobile accident menace will
not be curbed until drivers think
safety"
During the past ten years. through
intensive safety work, the American
railroads have reduced fatalities on
their property, owing to conditions
within their control, 81 per cent.
Tie accident record in almost all
other industries has steadily decreased,
due to untiring efforts that have I'M
pregnated knowledge and con-
seriousness of safety in the minds of
workers.
Contrast this with the automobile
accident situation. Last year motor
vehicles were responsible for the deaths
CT 1880 persons-a new high record
This represented a Is per cent increase
over the 1928 record, while automobile
registrations gained but eight per cent
Motor vehicle accidents lead all other
causes of accidental death by wide
margin.
There is but one encouraging cir
cumstance Accidents to school child
rem are on the decline due to the fact
that safety education is part of the
curricula in modern and progressive
schools.
Every reckless and irresponsible
driver is a menace to all the rest of us
Persons who disregard safety should
be prevented from using the public
highways.

THE IMPERIAL POWER

Men who pin their faith to machin-

will be the controlling force in the pro-

humanity aspires, the man in any

MRS. KATE SWIFT DIES
 AT FOREST STREET HOME
Widow of Malleable Iron Works President Succumbs to Brief H.
 ness-Priyate Funeral.

today because no one would allow it. The coaches trust one another absolutely.
 He cautioned the boys about mak- ing the umpire the goat. He spoke of many times where an umpire called man out at first when the runner thought he was safe. He said that the umpire wasn't trying to be unfair but was judging the play as he saw it and he had better chance of seeing 1t than the player. He said that pitcher should ex- pect an "eveh break and nothing more. If the ball was over the plate, it should be strike but he shouldn't try to bluff the umpire into calling a strike as the catcher tried to pull the ball over.
 He spoke of the legislation of the national rutes committee of which he Is member, against the shift fn football. He said that it wasn't the shift that was dishonest. but it was the unfair start before the ball was passed. A team that gets an un- fair start can always beat team that might be faster in every way. He said that the rules have been changed to eliminate the unfair start and now the game is a fair one and the shift is executed rightly.
 Well Begun, Half Done
 Then Mr Jones urged the youth full players to start right now to re- fuse to take an unfair advantage. He urged them to make this their ideal and he prophesied that they would find life better.
 The Rotary club membership was greatly enhanced by large number of visitors and by good gathering of Yale men who greeted MT. Jones rpon the conclusion of the session. He was introduced by John Black. chairman of the boys work commit tee who stated that he would walk a mile te hear MT. Jones again.
 Following the dinner. the mem bers of the championship team went to the office of the Corbin Screw Corporation to be measured for sweaters which will be part of the gift of the Rotary club.

CURB TICKER TAPE REPEATS OLD TALE
Disappointment Expressed Over
 Demand After Holiday

New York. Sept. GP)-The curb ticker tape told the same old story of narrow and irregular price move ments in the active shares today. Speculative sentiment was confused and considerable disappointment was expressed in some quarters over the non7appearance of any public demand after the Labor day holiday.

BONDS MAKE QUIET
 PROGRESS IN LIST
Latin American Issues Show
 Several New Soft Spots

New York. Sept. P1The bond market made quiet progress in most departments of the domestic list to- day. A sprinkling of new highs for the year or longer emphasized the current demand for the best grade issues. which is beginning to extend from the rails and utilities into the industrials.
 The temporary hrmness of money caused no concern and the volume of trading showed fair increase over yesterdays. Latin American is- sues, recent center of interest be- cause of political disturbances in some of the republics, contained several soft spots, notably the Co., lombia Mortgage Bank 6s and the Peru second 6s, but loans of Argen- tina, Chile and Brazil again firmed.
 Obligations of Domestic Industrial corporation were again in demand. although the buying was not suffi- ciently large to influence prices ap- preciably. U. S. Rubber 5s and Ar mour 51ss were among the stronger issues. Standard Oil of New Jersey 5s touched new high.
 The largest accumulation was in the rails. Chicago & Erie first 5s. Western Maryland As, St. Paul 5s, Atchison General As, Frisco 4 1-2s, Wisconsin Central As and Interna- tional Great Northern Adjustment 6s made fair gains. the first two establishing record prices for the year. Changes in the utilities, which have been sharing the advance with the carriers, were unimportant De- troit River Tunnel 4 1-2s rallied more than g point to new high.

Speculative Activity In Stocks
 Lacks Vitality to Move Shares
 In Either Direction On Market
Meager Success of Bearish Efforts Somewhat En- couraging to Operators After Higher Prices.

NeN 1oIh, sept. ~@SpeCuid- tive activity in todays stock market lacked the vitality to move share prices far in either direction.
 The meagre success of bearish ef- forts was somewhat encouraging to operators working for higher prices, but not encouraging enough to in spire any vigorous action. The mar ket appeared to be waiting for a clearer outline of the probable course of autumn business progress.
 The market turned up after the opening. sold off during the morn, ing, and crept higher in very dull trading after midday. Most shares fluctuated narrowly. Allied Chemi- cal dropped 4. however. then re- bounded 5. Eastman, also wide ID nover, sold up 4. Fox gained more than, a point on an announcement of a 4N per cent increase in business over last year, and the reopening of several theaters closed during the summer Paramount, Loews, Radio, Byers. Johns Manville. Dupont, United Air craft and Vanadium gained point or two. During the morning. such shares as American Telephone. Good year, American Smelling. Atchison and Flectric Power and Light sold of or more.
 Wall Street Perplexed
 Wall street is becoming highly perplexed as to where equity shares belong in the present scheme of things. That speculation~in in com- mon stocks was carried to excess last year is now acknowledged almost everywhere. but for the moment, Wall street seems to have no-means of gauging what the residue of pub lie appetite for common shares will be when readjustments have been finally completed.
 Many issues are still selling at rather high levels, on the basis of earnings, when compared to the levels reached in previous periods of deflation, but no necessity tor fur ther defation is apparent at this time. The inability of bearish pro- fessionals to bring out any consid- erahle liquidation is regarded in brokerage circles as indicating that prices have found bottom. It is acknowledged, however, that if bus mess recovery this autumn is a con- ] plete disappointment further defa- 1 ton may be necessary.
 Stimulation Fails
 l On the other hand stocks refuse respond with any alacrity to bull ish stimulation. What with the enor- n1ous trading machinery that has been built up during the past year or two, the situation could scarcely be less satisfactory to the brokerage
 The days indust~al news was sub ject to interpretation according to the mood. The mercantile orsaniza- tions wholesale price indices as an- nounced for August, however, show ed signs Of resaining stability. A few rail and chain store heads re- ported mild improvement. Electrical 1 power consumption, as reported for the latest week, however, failed to continue the slow climb of previous weeks, although it was less than per cent under tbe previous week, and per cent above the like week of two years ago.
 Call money continued firm at 1-2 per cent. reflecting the belated ef- fects of September l settlements. but other monetary accommodations were unchanged.
