Traffic Education Aid
In Preventing Accidents
Child Fatalities Cut by Training,
Report Shows, but Greater Eff
fort Is Needed

The Importance of education in
traffic control and accident proven.
ton is emphasized in the official re-
port of the third National Confer.
ence on Street and Highway Safety
held last month in Washington. A
summary of this portion of the re-
port is contained in a bulletin re-
ceived this week by the Herald
from the Highway department.
I'm view of the fact that collisions
of motor vehicles with pedestrians
amount to more than so per cent of
the total number of fatal accidents,
the education and regulation of pc
destrians as we'll as drivers shold
be given greater attention than at
present, SAY the report. "Pedes-
TRANS and motorists should bear a
considerate attitude each to the
other"
Public schools throughout the
country have organized admirable
courses for specific safety educa-
ton. The interest of school chill
'dren has been aroused further thru
a national essay contest conducted
annually. These safety education
al activities have shown their abil-
ity to awaken public consciousness
of the character of the accident
problem and of means of avoiding
hazards. These effects have been
particularly noteworthy among chill
dren of school age, among whom
the accident rate has actually de-
creased during the period of gen
eral national increase"
Although fatalities among chill
dren under Is have shown a de-
crease, beginning in 1928, the num-
Der is so large that the matter

BOND PRICES REACT
ON TIGHTER CREDIT
Selling for Profit on Recent
Rise Given as Cause
of Recession.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.
peclal pispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 27.-Under the
influence of a number Of bearish fac
tors, the bond market today continued
it's recession from the high levels OF
last week.
While there was no quotable rise In
time money rates, there was a notice
able hardening, and supplies were not
as ample as they had been. 1ndlVld-
uals who have had funds in the bond
market during the recent rise continued
to liquidate for profit realization. Cor
poration funds were withdrawn for the
same reason, coupled with the fact that
corporate need of surplus cash is in
creasing with the upturn OF business IN
general.
The foreign department, which stood
out firmly against the weakness earlier
in the week. also turned downward to-
day. Some of the selling was for over
seas account and some was of local
speculative nature based on the as
sumption that many foreign issues are
too high.
Then there was another $21 600, 900
of new issues to digest. This was not
large in itself, but coupled with the
500 900, 900 brought out this week and
5000 900, 900 last week, it leaves a large
amount of undistributed bonds to COM
pete with outstanding issues.
The market was also affected by the
imminence of a number of fairly large
issues. New South Wales, Australia, is
negotiating a $5,000,000 offering in this
market. There are also a number OF
municipal, railroad and public utility
loans in process of preparation.
With strong and active stock mar
ket during the first two hours today
convertible bonds held the center OF
interest, many going to new highs
American Telephone convertible 4l2s at
1721a were at their best price since last
October's decline.
Others that scored early gains were
Commercial Investment Trust 5l5s,
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron 6S,
Baltimore g. Ohio 41as, Southern Pacific
AIS, International Telephone AIS and
Texas Corporation SIS. With the subse-
quent reaction of stocks, these gains
were Cancelled.
United States Government obligations
were moderately active and dropped
from 1872 to 1882 throughout the list
of active issues. High-grade rails, such
as Baltimore & Ohio first As, Canadian
National SIS, Frisco "a" Is and Union
Pacific Is, had fractional losses. So
did the prime public utility and indus
trial issues, like Inland Steel AIS, Co.
lumbia Gas IS, Utilities Power g. Light
5la3, General Motors Acceptance g.
and American Telephone SIS (l965).

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. I'll
There seem to be at present two
outstanding factors which are re-
tarding business in its return to
normalcy. One of these is the
political situation.
At a time where business is in
q slightly uncertain condition,
politics and international affairs
have an increasing influence on
economic progress. The Russian
situation, although still unsettled,
has been greatly helped by Pres
ident Hoover's decision not to al
low a trade embargo.
Our Canadian trade which Is
our largest foreign market is GER
tain to be reduced by the policy
of the new Canadian government
which is pledged to enforce a
counter tariff against the United
States. Such a tariff will greatly
handicap our trade with the
Dominion. The internal political
conditions are in an unsettled
state and there is evident a grow
ing dissatisfaction with the Re-
publican party.
The crop situation is another
important factor greatly influenc-
ing our present economic situA-
ton. The continued drought in
the West has greatly affected the
crops SO that price levels will
probably be affected and the ptlr-
chasing power in the farm areas
will be reduced. Corn is the crop
most seriously affected and this
will be probably evidenced in an
advance in price.
During the past months, almost
all industries have experienced 8.
